What's the Disgust In You Protecting?

I felt disgusted watching a woman touch another woman's breasts on television. That surprised me - I host a podcast about sexual freedom.

This episode starts with a documentary called Bang My Box, about Robin Byrd, who ran her own uncensored show on New York public access television starting in 1977. Watching clips of her fully, joyfully unashamed, something in me recoiled. Not arousal. Disgust. And I had to sit with why.

That question sent me into research I didn't expect - the birth control pill, a Supreme Court case about a banned 1748 novel called Fanny Hill, and the Stonewall riots - trying to understand what actually made an era of that much freedom possible. Then into Robin Byrd's own story: a hard childhood, running away at thirteen, and building a freedom nobody handed her.

Somewhere in the middle of it, I ended up telling you something I haven't said publicly before: I identify as bisexual, and I'm not fully out to the people closest to me. This episode is about the guard standing at both those doors - the one around my arousal, and the one around who I actually am - and a comment a friend made about gay culture that I still haven't been able to shake.

I don't have this resolved. I don't think I'm supposed to yet.

What's the disgust in you protecting?

About the Podcast

Whisper Lounge Podcast

Welcome In.

You were meant to find us.
This is a space for the conversations that don’t fit into neat boxes. A place where sex, identity, and relationships aren’t bound by binaries, and where morality is a spectrum, not a rulebook. In this unfiltered, experiential podcast, we explore the messy, beautiful, and deeply human aspects of sexuality—before shame, before dogma, before limits. From history and philosophy to personal storytelling and modern sex-positive culture, no topic is off-limits. Listen for the whispers only you can hear.
We hope you’ve come to stay.

About your host

Whisper Lounge

It started with a whisper.
Not a business plan. Not a blueprint. Just a feeling I couldn’t shake—
that something essential was missing in the way we talk about sex, sexuality, intimacy, and self-expression.
For years, I moved between roles: partner, professional, seeker.
But beneath it all, I was quietly asking:
Where do we go to talk about desire without being reduced to it?
Where can we explore our erotic lives without shame, pressure, or performance?
I couldn’t find that space.
So I made it.
Whisper Lounge concept began as a podcast—a hidden room in the digital world where nothing was off-limits and everything was welcome. A place for conversations that didn’t fit neatly into boxes. For stories too raw for daylight. For exploring sexuality not just as pleasure, but as a portal to freedom, confidence, play and deep connection.
The idea that started as a quiet offering turned into something louder—a community of people hungry for truth, softness, and unapologetic desire. Now, it’s not just a podcast. It’s a growing ecosystem of tools, products, and private experiences designed to help you unlearn the noise and tune into what’s real for you.
If you’re here, you’ve probably felt it too.
The whisper.
The what if.
The ache to feel safe enough to be fully seen.
Welcome in.
