What was your first time like?
What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you during sex?
What’s your best move in bed?
These are just a few of the questions that a different queer person answers in each podcast episode of FRUITBOWL: An Oral History of Queer Sex. We have no idea of how long the podcast has been around or who in fact are queer geniuses behind it, but the whole Queerguru office soon became quickly hooked on it
Talking about sex is often difficult for queer people. Most of us were raised by parents who would not dare bring up the subject of sex – queer OR hetero – and most cultures, communities and social media platforms censor honest discussions about it. Additionally, many of us grew up in families and cultures that are hostile towards queer people, forcing us to seek answers from pornography and explore sex with an enormous amount of secrecy and shame.
FRUITBOWL is a judgment-free platform for honest, frank conversations about queer sex. Since the summer of 2018, they have filmed over 60 interviews and created three seasons of podcast episodes and short films in preparation for their first documentary feature film. The goal is to film at least 100 interviews with a diverse cross-section of queer voices in an effort to destigmatize queer sex and reveal the fierce individuality, strength, and independence of queer people.
FRUITBOWL explores the different ways queer people learn about sex and how we develop our sexual preferences. It’s a conversation that mainstream media doesn’t want to have and once you listen to a few episodes, you’ll realize how much you have in common with queer people of every kind when you strip away all the superficial labels and categories and just … listen.
We particularly love this very frank video with Joshua Grannell aka Peaches Christ who knows when/how not to take it all too seriously in this personal reminiscence.
