Masterbators - For The Love of Sex

10 - Monstrous Bodies - Menstruation, Feminism and Growing Up in the 70s (with Sandy Thomson)

• Tristis Silvan

Join me this week, for a chat with Sandy Thomson. Sandy is a director, writer and producer and runs a story machine company called "Poorboy". 
We disussed her most recent work, "Monstrous Bodies", a play that explores the years Mary Shelley spent in Dundee, the origin of Frankenstein, "titpics" and the decision to build the play around a scene where a teenage girl gets her first period on stage. 
We also got to talk about Sandy's experience with sex education during the HIV crisis, being a child of the 70s, porn pre-internet, masturbation and coming off age. 

Find Sandy on Twitter @Poorboy_stories and all about her work with Poorboy here: http://www.poorboy.co.uk/#home-section

Book of the week (let's just pretend this is a thing): Mary Wollstonecraft - A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
