"Follem?" és un assaig que examina la sexualitat i el plaer i ho fa des d'una exploració més enllà dels clixés i els tabús. Aquest audiollibre parteix d'un nou inici per mirar la sexualitat sense la vergonya, les imatges preconcebudes o els papers autoimposats. És una nova manera de mirar cap a l'interior del desig i dels cossos humans i també cap a l'exterior, cap a les persones amb les qui compartim aquest anhel. Escoltar al cos, a l'ànima i no fer cas a tot el que s'ha imposat per defecte.
