Season 2, Bonus Episode 1: Mark S. King

Nov 12 · 49 minutes

Welcome to a bonus track from Sexing History. This track features an extended version of Gillian Frank’s interview with Mark S. King from our most recent episode “Sex Over the Phone.” That episode explores how phone sex lines and dial-a-porn transformed the intimacy of phone conversations into a multi-million-dollar sexual enterprise during the 1980s. Mark S. King worked on gay phone sex lines and also owned his own phone sex business. His story helps us better understand the complex relationships between gay history, the history of sex work, the history of the AIDS epidemic and the telecommunications revolution of the 1980s. Hosts and Creators: Gillian Frank and Lauren Gutterman.Producers: Rebecca Davis, Saniya Lee Ghanoui, Devin McGeehan Muchmore and Jayne Swift. Intern: Alexie Glover.If you enjoyed this bonus track, please review us on iTunes or Soundcloud and share us on social media.
