What’s your GEBO? – S2E4



What’s your GEBO? Or is it gebo?

In this week’s episode, we are joined with Lauren Zuniga, a queer, femme, Okie poet. In this conversation, Lauren recites poems, discusses being a queer parent in Oklahoma, and shares her tips for making good sex good (and the one thing to avoid). There’s laughter, tears, and gasps of amazement.

Despite the upheaval of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, The Peak plans to continue to create and release new content exploring how human beings can find intimacy, practice safe sex, and connect to ourselves sensually in a time where social distancing is a public health necessity.
