The Fantasy's the Thing

In Chapter 3 of Miranda July’s All Fours, our character sips clandestine strawberry milkshakes with her bestie before sneaking back into her house like a thief. This episode is about secrets and disclosure, fantasy and reality, mind-rooted and body-rooted fucks—so many binaries! Where do you find yourself?

Amy & Tommy find themselves embarking on a spicy discussion featuring childhood favorite food treats, fantasies, connection, foreplay, and Portland Firefighters—surprisingly, the bleep button was only needed twice!

Read along or just enjoy the discussion. Subscribe to Work From Bed Friday so you won’t miss any of the episodes. Next week: Chapter 4!
