The Ins and Outs of Fingers Spoons and an Open Marriage

The Ins and Outs... acknowledges and embraces the acute discomfort of living out our inescapable sexuality. A funny and shameless exploration of shame itself that for good measure upends accepted notions about healing and self-realization along the way - A brutally honest outing in 80 minutes.
