Nat and Nino discuss Xenogenesis—Octavia Butler’s three-book series about alien invasion, human resistance, alien-human family-making, tentacle sex, colonization, third genders, and so much more. Our conversation focuses on power, consent, and compromise, and we’re joined in the first half of this episode by kink practitioner, performer and astrologer E. Wray, who talks with us about consent in kink practice and the erotics of power.
