\u201cThrough my sex positive view, all sex is good sex as long as it\u2019s consensual and pleasurable. I don\u2019t get to make the choice about how much is too much. Every client does.\u201d \u2014 @DrHollyRichmond [0:05:24.1]

\u201cVirtual reality is almost a direct line to feeling and not thinking, experiencing instead of watching. It\u2019s this embodied technology where we can become anything.\u201d \u2014 @DrHollyRichmond [0:08:37.1]
