What The Pox? - Investigating the Mpox (monkeypox) outbreak
QueerAF
15 episodes
3 hours ago

Mpox is more than a virus; it's a story about the health of the LGBTQIA+ community - Listen now


What the Pox? Is the information and support I wish I had at my disposal when I was going through Mpox (Monkeypox). It's also a documentary investigation into the Mpox outbreak with science, stories and resources all shared without stigma or shame. Listen to understand:


  • What we know about the virus, and how it spreads
  • Why we feel shame and stigma about catching it
  • What the parallels are with the HIV outbreak in the 80s
  • Why this sits in a bigger picture with conversations about queer sex and health inequalities
  • And crucially: What can we do next?


Mpox is more than a virus; it also tells us so much about being LGBTQIA+ right now - and that's what this show exposes.


Listen to our ten part documentary series for leading LGBTQIA+ community figures, Mpox experts, sexual health superstars, and real people talking about Mypox and the LGBTQIA+ community without shame or stigma.

This episode does not contain straight sex in the missionary position

Sex. Some people aren’t just doing it - they’re really doing it.

But, like with anything fun - safety comes first. We’ve got to be aware of sexually transmitted infections.

Monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted infection, but this current outbreak is being transmitted sexually. And when it comes to infections that are passed on sexually, there is an added level of stigma.

It’s clear that when STIs impact sexually active folk in the LGBTQIA+ community - it’s worse. Why is that? What is it about queer sex that creates this furore. It's just sex?

So let's talk about sex and work out just What The Pox? is going on.


This week's guests are:

  • Jason Domino - Porn4Prep founder and sex worker advocate
  • Joseph Osmundson - American biophysicist and writer
  • Harun Talunay - Sexual health expert with lived experience of monkeypox
  • Topher Taylor - Award-winning pleasure expert and queer columnist


Listen to understand:

  • What sex on site venues do to empower people to have better knowledge of their sexual health
  • Why monkeypox could impact sex workers for months if they get the virus
  • How shame and stigma can be worse when talking about queer sex, and what to do about it
