The audio recording (above) and transcript (below) represent six minutes of a 50-minute chat I had with ‘P’ who’s a queer/bisexual, white British, woman (cis), who, at the time of interview in December 2022 was 29, partnered, and living in London. ‘P’ works in a similar sexuality education field to me, so our conversations touched on the complications that can sometimes arise in social situations when people know that our jobs are sex-based and are looking for answers to personal questions. ‘P’ also shared an incident from her early adolescence where she was accused of sexually predatory behaviour towards a fellow school pupil and the harm that the allegations caused. I’ve extracted ‘P’s interview to begin with the answers that she gave to my favourite question in the survey. Almaz note: Please do listen to the audio extract, while simultaneously following the text transcription, as it makes for a richer experience. Almaz – 10:49mins Would you be able to describe a little bit more about that? Because I can’t… I’m trying to imagine what it would have would have been? ‘P’ – 11:20mins Almaz – 11:24mins P’ – 11:24mins Almaz – 11:40mins But it’s, like, yeah, the three little pigs. They’re wearing, like… their top halves are covered, their bottom halves are naked, you know, quite vulnerable, quite exposed. And, you know, the big bad wolf is trying to eat them. Almaz – 12:30mins And then when he, like, captures them… Or no, the pigs capture him, and they’ve got this machine. Anyway, I could probably send you the video, but the machine ends up, like, spanking them. And the noises they make, it’s very, like, [high-pitched voice] “Ah! Ah!” You know. Almaz – 13:02mins Almaz – 13:013mins ‘P’– 13:02mins Almaz – 13:29mins ‘P’ – 13:29mins Almaz – 13:42mins ‘P’ – 13:42mins Almaz – 14:04mins ‘P’ – 13:04mins Almaz – 14:12mins Almaz – 14:34mins ‘P’ – 14:36mins Almaz – 14:39mins ‘P’ – 15:27mins [Almaz note: I hadn’t remembered the content of this conversation, which took place in December 2022, when I was doing the thinking for mailout ‘#40: Considering My Crushes – No. 01’ in Autumn 2023. If only I’d returned to this interview material sooner, I would have certainly added a paragraph about my short-lived Rodders crush lol lol!] ‘P’ – 15:39mins Almaz – 15:42mins ‘P’ – 15:42mins I know, as a teenager, as like, you know, a ‘just out’ bisexual, like, 17 year old, I was just like, “Okay, who are my crushes that’s a girl and that’s a boy.” And I just, like, was just obsessed with, like, fucking, Anthony Kiedis. Almaz – 16:02mins ‘P’ – 16:04mins ‘P’ – 16:10mins Almaz – 16:18mins ‘P’ –16:24mins ‘P’ – 16:31mins Almaz – 16:42mins Almaz – 16:46mins ‘P’– 16:46mins Almaz – 16:53mins ‘P’– 16:54mins ‘P’– 16:56mins Almaz – 16:56mins ‘P’ – 16:59mins ‘O’; 45; bisexual/pansexual; Latino; cis man; polyamorous, living with a nesting partner as two-thirds of an open triad, and a few other partners; Tucson, AZ, US ‘J’, 33, bisexual, Mixed-race (Indian and white British) woman (cis), single, Brighton: ‘B’, 32, queer, Greek (Caucasian), woman (cis), partnered, London: [Image description: promo banner for Almaz’s Developing Sexual Expression and understanding intimacy workshops] I run a workshop series – Developing sexual expression and understanding intimacy – if you’d like to book me for an in-person event like a hen party or baby shower, or as a fun interlude at a sex ed/sensuality event, do get in touch via email.
