In this episode, Patricia & Rose examine shame as a tool that shapes social norms and etiquette, and its usefulness in particular situations, often those involving men and male entitlement. Do we need to bring back shame as a social consequence? Is a Shame Renaissance on the horizon? Can or should FDS Queens embrace shame as a necessary behavioral corrective in dating and courtship?

Picking up on an ongoing conversation the previous FDS queens began - please revisit the classic recording, "We Like Big Dicks and We REFUSE to Lie" (May 5, 2021) - Patricia and Rose delve into the joys of sex and intimacy. They touch on the role of social media, the influence of porn, and the importance of sexual education in advocating for one's own pleasure.

In this episode, the Queens discuss how Rose's commitment to sobriety dovetailed with her discovery of FDS.

Correction: Rose is coming up on 3 YEARS of sobriety in March/April 2026
