Alcohol and Sex: Pros and Cons - Episode 79 [ 15:02 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Alcohol and sex are often mixed together, sometimes with great sexual outcomes and sometimes with not-so-great ones!

This episode is for those of you that have ever thought about having a drink or two to loosen up the gears in the bedroom… Or have already tried it!

Join me as I talk about some of the pros:

  • Physical and sexual relaxation
  • Letting go of inhibitions and worries or preoccupations
  • Feeling more sensitive to and excited by touch

And some of the cons:

  • Too much bodily relaxation depresses the system and sometimes makes genitals function “below capacity”
  • You might get too sleepy
  • You are more inclined to make risky sexual choices or to be in situations where others might take advantage of you

Let’s Not Be Squeamish About Our Vaginal Goo, Ya’ll – Episode 70

Let’s Not Be Squeamish About Our Vaginal Goo, Ya’ll - Episode 70 [ 19:56 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This episode focuses mostly on the subject of these two articles:

A Brief Chat With a Woman Who Made Yogurt From Her Vaginal Secretions – a Jezebel article by Mark Shrayber

How to Make Breakfast With Your Vagina – a Motherboard article by Janet Jay

As you can now probably guess, this episode is a discussion about a woman who made yogurt with her vaginal juices and reported on its flavor… A fact that I find inspiring and fantastic! In addition, I delve deeper into the world (ours) where people get so freaked out over anything that comes out of a woman’s ho-ha (except babies).

Why is it okay for semen cookbooks to exit while the idea of eating vaginal yogurt seems gross?

Why does eating vaginal yogurt feel so taboo?

How can we cure our communities of the “Eww, gross!” response to all things that emerge from our fantastic private parts?

This episode will be a great second or third course to these other episodes about the fabulous ecosystem of the vagina: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Vaginas and Cervixes, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Vaginas and Vulvas, and Menstrual Cups Are For You and For Me!

The Skin You’re In: Epidermis Forever! – Episode 65

The Skin You're In: Epidermis Forever! - Episode 65 [ 25:20 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

So many women have issues with their skin. We think it is either too dry, too oily, too wrinkly, too saggy, too cellulitey, too pale, too dark, to veiny, too hairy, too pimply, or too generally imperfect. Well, think again!

Your skin does so much behind-the-scenes work for your body, and you never even know the half of it! We should be celebrating our skin, not wishing it was different. Spend some naked time with yourself and get a closer look at the amazing skin you’re in!

For example, did you know that:

  • Your skin is acidic to help fight off pathogens (like your vagina!)
  • There is an anatomical reason why women have cellulite
  • Butt acne isn’t really such a big deal

Your skin shows you what is really going on in your inside body. Do you need more water or a healthier diet? Your skin will let you know, as long as you listen!

What’s the deal with your boobs?

Why are they there, hanging out and doing what they do?

Your breasts change a lot over the course of your life, based on your hormones levels and other factors.

Genital Juices: What’s Going on Down There? – Episode 57

Genital Juices: What's Going on Down There? - Episode 57 [ 20:32 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This episode wades through the many juices that we come to know in our genital regions! Of course there’s our periods (don’t forget about period sex!), sweat (which is healthy and natural for you!) and your natural vaginal and cervical discharge.

Lubrication and the many other liquids that we encounter in this area are something that we usually fail to talk about. I know that personally, I always thought that my partner’s juices were the ones that dominated the scene after sex, but little did I know it was really my body making most of the lubrication that I was seeing. Your internal self is mysterious place, one that works so well that we rarely even know all of its secrets!

Our own discharge and lubrication can depend on our hormone levels, our diet, health status, and our time of the month!

This episode is the third in a series focusing on the ins and outs and the biology of women’s bodies, right down to the most basic, scientific level. This episode shares with you much of the awesome information in chapter four of  Woman: An Intimate Geography – a fabulous and scientific book about what it means to be a woman and/or a female by Natalie Angier. I’ve recently reread this book because it is fantastic! Her fourth chapter focuses on your fickle and fantastic clitoris! For example, did you know that:

  • Your clitoris has twice as many nerve endings (8,000) as a man’s penis?
  • The average length of a clitoris is 16mm long (the width of a dime)?
  • The clitoris is not sensitive to estrogen ebb and flow, and thus will not really change and leave you as you reach menopause like your vulva might?
  • Technically, there is no practical use for the clitoris (or is there…)?

Learn all this and more in this episode, where we check out more about our orgasm-bosom-buddy!

  • Sperm in your vagina temporarily raises the pH and imbalances the hearty, pathogen-fighting ecosystem you have?
  • The good bacteria that lives in your vagina, called lactobacillis, is the same that is found in yogurt?
  • Your cervix is the lower part of the uterus, and is twice as large as the rest of your uterus when you’re a kid?
