This time, we tackle questions of sexual identity — both in how the authors relate to the characters and in how the characters define themselves. WARNING: All three of us were at least a little drunk at this point in the evening, so please forgive the occasional stuttering and/or mangling of the English language. We’re all still lucid enough to be making some great points — and, perhaps, revealing more about our own inner psychology than anyone wanted to know. :) Special thanks to Dan Sawyer for editing and mixing this ep, and to Pip Ballantine for joining us in the madness. This was an absolute blast. :) Chris Lester yes 51:50 http://www.metamorcity.com/the-sex-round-table-part-2-of-3/ http://www.metamorcity.com/the-sex-round-table-part-2-of-3/#comments Thu, 15 Jan 2009 05:30:32 +0000 admin http://www.metamorcity.com/?p=238 http://www.metamorcity.com/the-sex-round-table-part-2-of-3/feed/ 0 antithesis progression,chris lester,commentary,discussion,fiction,j daniel sawyer,metamor city,philippa ballantine,pip ballantine,sex,sexuality,writing The sex talk between me, J.

Daniel Sawyer and Philippa Ballantine continues. We start off with a discussion of erotic themes in Metamor City, then progress to talk about sex in religion, sex in humans vs. other species of animals, serious sex, funny sex, and the wide spectrum of human relationships from shallow to intimate — and all the different kinds of sex involved in that continuum. No promos in this one, folks. And yes, my numbering system at the beginning of the episode is STILL out of whack. Part 1 of the Round-Table is at the ANTITHESIS feed, if you haven’t already heard it. Part 3 will be coming to the Erotica a la Carte feed shortly.

What do you get when you combine three saucy podcasters and a fine New Zealand Pinot Noir? Well, this, apparently. Dan Sawyer, Philippa Ballantine, and I sat down to discuss the ways we deal with sex in our various worlds and works. There are three hours of this; Dan dropped the first hour in his ANTITHESIS feed, and I’m cross-posting it here. Look for further episodes to drop on the Metamor City and Erotica a la Carte feeds in the near future. Also, I was having entirely too much fun with sound clips from That Mitchell and Webb Look.
