36. From Shirtless to Scandalous: The Power of Context

Send us a text

Why is a man shirtless at the pool totally normal, but wearing a BDSM harness in public is inappropriate? It's not about the skin. In this episode, we expose the power of context—how cultural conditioning and oversexualization shape what we consider acceptable, especially when it comes to the human body. From media double standards to why sex makes us uncomfortable but violence doesn’t, we explore how societal norms dictate desire, shame, and self-expression. If you’ve ever wondered why nipples cause controversy but blood and gore get a pass, this one’s for you.
