114: Let's Talk About Sex (Education! And Masturbation! And Toys!) - a podcast by Devi Abraham & Jessica Van Der Wyngaard

from 2022-11-22T09:02

:: ::

A sex educator is in the house, and she's taking us back to school for the education most of us never got. Erica Smith founded the Purity Culture Dropout™️ Program to equip people like us with information and education that is "accurate, queer inclusive, trauma informed, compassionate, and comprehensive." We discuss:

  • why sex education is more than preventing negative health outcomes
  • what happens when we pathologize all things sex related
  • all things masturbation
  • sex toys and sex shops
