In this episode, we breakdown disability and pleasure with the amazing Andrew Gurza -- and their conversation with DB takes some twists and turns that are so real, they're going to strike a chord whether or not you're disabled yourself. And don't forget: anyone can become disabled. You never know if or when this conversation might hit even closer to home.

ANDREW GURZA'S FAVORITE SEX TOYS
FREE STI TESTING AND REMINDERS!
STIs are way more common than most people realize (over 2.2 million reported in 2024). And when it comes to notifying partners, the stress and awkwardness can be real. That's where KISS comes in -- the anonymous STI notification app that helps you track hookups, alert partners, and manage your sexual health without ever sharing your personal info. No shame. No awkward DMs. Just smarter, stigma-free sexual health care.
You can set free testing + medication reminders, and if you upgrade to Premium, you'll get a full breakdown of your encounters, partners, and activities (yes, it's basically Spotify Wrapped for your sex life). Protecting yourself -- and others -- shouldn't be complicated.
Download KISS and use code DBKISS for 50% off your first month of Premium.
