Periods, Peter Pan, and Lesbians

Prometheus & Pandora: Episode IV

On today’s episode of Prometheus and Pandora Katie O'Connor teaches the lads about how each of the various moonblood phases impacts a chick’s moods.

Then like good Millennials we then discuss the sexual archetypes embedded in various Disney movies: Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Aladdin, and Peter Pan, outlining how each mythically compresses a deep primal sex-story and what it says about courtship, masculine competition, and female mate choice.

We then circle back toward period sex and lesbians.
