    S5E9 - Firsts Vol.3: High School Hookups, Part 2
    May 23 2024
    As I was building this second high school hookup episode, I realized that many of the stories have striking similarities. People who grew up thousands of miles apart, often in different decades, had similar coming of age experiences. So I decided to create an entire episode featuring story pairs that are like fun-house reflections of each other; further proof that, even though queer adolescence is often full of deep insecurity and loneliness, there is likely someone out there who is going through the same thing you are. Here’s a list of excerpts featured in this episode along with a link to their full length episode. Section 1: Camping Adventures. Jon (S1E12) & Adam T. (S3E20) Section 2: Exploring communities outside of high school. Dan (S3E16) & Salvador (S3E6) Section 3: Playful flirtations evolve into something more. Anders (S2E6) & Saira (S3E21) Section 4: Bad boys who feel good. Kenny (S4E6) & Andrew (S4E11) Section 5: Falling for step-siblings & discouraging hookups. Steven M. (S4E14) & Donovan (S3E18) Section 6: Transitioning from high school to college. Justin (S4E1) & Paul (S3E5) This episode was edited and hosted by Dave Quantic, the creator of Fruitbowl. Bayley Boecker edited the music and final mix. Thanks Bayley!

  • S5E8 - Firsts Vol.2: High School Hookups, Part 1

    S5E8 - Firsts Vol.2: High School Hookups, Part 1
    May 9 2024
    For queer people, our sexuality is not something that just switches on one day. It reveals itself over time - usually during adolescence - and the experience is often internal and private. Our first explorations into physical intimacy with other people often serve as a kind of test to see if we like it and help us start to define the role that sex will play in our lives as adults. High school is “go time” for these explorations and life quickly becomes a steaming stew of hormones, insecurities and hurt feelings. These first experimentations with friends or acquaintances and people that we know happen to many of us, yet we rarely share these stories with each other as adults. In this first of four episodes dedicated to first times, Dave collects stories from thirteen different interviewees whose first time was with people they already knew. Next up will be another high school episode followed by one about internet hookups and a fourth “first time” episode that collects stories about old-school “cruising.” So prepare yourself because things are going to get … awkward. Here’s a list of excerpts featured in this episode along with a link to their full length episode. Section 1: AFAB First Times. Ji (S2E5) First PIV; Isabella (S2E9) German Boyfriend, Sleepovers With Open Door; Lizzie (S4E13) First Time Boring Boyfriend, First Time Gym Girl. Section 2: Cis Guys High School Flame Outs. Jason (S1E1) Friends with Benefits; Drew (S4E4) Horniness Wins; Zachery (S4E16) Owning It; Puddin (S4E9) Just the One Time. Section 3: First times with different bodies. RC (S2E8) Best Friend’s Girlfriend Fix Up, Home Alone Bunk Bed; Elliott (S3E11) Exploring both Male and Female bodies. Section 4: Alan (S3E2) The Secret Fort. Listener discretion advised. Section 5: Sex in the Wild. Jerusha (S2E1) The Handicap Stall; Anders (S2E6) Home-Coming in the Pool; Pete (S1E13) Steamy Car Threeway in the Parking Lot.
