S4E13 - Lizzie, 29. Seattle

Fruitbowl: An Oral History of Queer Sex

Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

Lizzie grew up in super-liberal Seattle with super-cool, neo-hippie parents who had lots of queer friends and didn’t bat an eye when Lizzie let them know that she was … not straight. Lizzie took the lead when it came to her first time with a guy and you’ll enjoy hearing about her other adventures with a girl from her gym, an Irish bartender and a French Canadian who swept her off her feet - enough for her to risk being detained by Canadian police at the border. When she was young, Lizzie also had a very special relationship with a water jet at her swimming pool.

Originally recorded in December of 2019, Lizzie’s interview covers a lot of ground. Also featured in this episode: a follow-up interview recorded just a few weeks ago with editor Danny Tayara followed by a super-cool song from Lizzie’s band, Creature Hole!
