Episode 138.5 - "I Never Coughed Into a Pu**y" - Jeremie Saunders

In this very special bonus episode, I sit down with one of my podcast colleagues and someone who I totally admire, Jeremie Saunders. He is the one of the hosts of the wildly popular podcasts "Sickboy" all about finding the funny in chronic illness and/or disability and "Turn Me On", a podcast wherein he explores sexuality topics with his wife, Bryde. I talk to him today about his life with Cystic Fibrosis, and how living with a shortened life expectancy has had an impact on his sense of impulsiveness, time, relationships, and of course, sex. This was one of my favorite interviews ever that I just couldn't wait to share with you. Enjoy!
