S5E15 - Firsts Vol.8: College Love

Fruitbowl: An Oral History of Queer Sex

Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify.

College is often the first opportunity to separate ourselves, both geographically and psychologically, from oppressive families or communities. It's a chance to examine stifled urges and investigate sidelined feelings in an environment that includes others seeking similar experiences. When you combine this newfound sense of self with a bit of confidence and some good old fashioned young adult hormones, it's no wonder so many of us find ourselves falling in love for the first time at college.
