We talked to Anna Torres about all things architecture and sexuality during this episode of Radio Pleasure Society.  What would our cities look like if we’d approach it with a more sex positive lens?

We spoke to Jeanette Chedda about Sexuality & Disability. Jeanette is a disability advocate, speaker and model who represents the role model she needed growing up. "You can’t be what you can’t see'', is one of her favourite quotes. And 'representation matters' is what she lives. With her presence in magazines, politics and activism she blows away the hetero cis, male, skinny, tall and able bodied standard. And that’s long overdue. Especially in The Netherlands.  Check out her OnlyFans here 😈 and keep an eye on her socials for some hot merch she's launching later this year.  This is a pre-recording of our - usual- live Radio Pleasure Society.
