About this listen

D Is For Desire is a shameless podcast that explores sex, sexuality, relationships and love from angles you could have never imagined in health class. It’s personal storytelling, conversations with experts and a whole lot of voyeuristic yet vital information.

On each episode, host Noah Michelson introduces listeners to individuals who are willing to open up about their longings, predilections and relationships in order to inform others about who they are, what they want, what satisfies them and why it matters — which could have implications for the rest of us. Desire takes many forms, even unexpected ones. And when it comes to sex and love, nothing is “normal,” which means everything, and everyone, is “normal.”

    Period sex happens. Many have it. Some even crave it. So, why don’t we talk about it? On the final episode of season one, host Noah Michelson opens the line to listeners, period sex fetishists and a digital sex worker who reframed her relationship with menstruation through sex. He also speaks with menstrual historian Elissa Stein, the author of Flow, who explains why periods ― and period sex ― are still so scary to so many people and what it’ll take to change that.

  • The Man Who Slept With 10,000 Men

    The Man Who Slept With 10,000 Men
    Jul 31 2020

    To say that Mark S. King has been busy during the 59 years he’s been on this planet would be an understatement. Not only has he spent much of his life working as an award-winning HIV/AIDS activist and journalist, but he’s also slept with close to 10,000 men.


    On this episode, Mark walks us through his journey from sexual neophyte coming of age in the South during the 1960s to connoisseur of all that New Orleans' bathhouses had to offer in the ’70s to, finally, his current life as a happy husband in a monogamous relationship. He also tells how contracting HIV in the ’80s and watching his community be ravished by the disease affected his sex life ― but maybe not in the way you might expect.
