Gavin Arthur and the Circle of Sex

In today's episode, we're discussing the Circle of Sex, a 1960s astrological representation of sexuality, and its eccentric creator Gavin Arthur. Join us to hear about how to have sex à la Walt Whitman, how to figure out if you're a Sappho or a Club Woman, and whether there is a faint possibility, just maybe, that the Circle is a tiny bit flawed. If you would like to follow along at home, please have a look at the Circle of Sex diagram . We do our best to explain it, but it will hopefully make things a little bit clearer if you have a look yourself!
