BiCurean

This episode of BiCurean we talked about the impact of criminalizing sex work and the ripple effect that has in community.

Show Notes

Sex work is stigmatized and seen in a negative light. However, the people who engage in sex work have a different story to tell. Erik and Aicila dig a little into their story and the impact of recent legislation. 
Correction: Aicila said counties with populations fewer than 170,000 were allowed to create brothels in Nevada. It is actually fewer than 700,000.

What is BiCurean?

BiCurean takes typically combative topics and teaches them to play nice. Our view is the mainstream reactionary rhetoric divides us and only helps those invested in the status quo. We seek to find answers beyond the most obvious.

Join host Aicila as she digs into topics ranging from social and political to geeky and fun. Aicila is looking for the "BiCurean Moment"- the point where contradictions meet or are embraced.

BiCurean was conceived of in 2011 by Aicila as a podcast and originally created as a blog. On hiatus since 2021, she's been eager to start back up, and 2025 will be the year she does. Watch for new episodes, a new format, and just her as the host.
