Sex is Political with Jill Lissner
Season 1, Episode 250
Show notes
Your bedroom isn’t as private as you think. In this episode, sex educator & human sexuality PhD student Jill Lissner joins us to explore why sex is political, from abortion access and crisis pregnancy centers to sex ed funding & who gets to experience pleasure. We cover reproductive health deserts, fertility awareness vs. hormonal birth control, & resources like Plan C & Abortion Finder, plus easy ways to take action locally. Curious, informed, & a little fired up? Press play.

Jump to the Good Stuff:
05:17 – Why sex is political (porn and sex toy laws)
13:12 – Abortion laws since Roe: why local info matters
16:45 – Resources and travel when you live in a ban state
17:50 – The unintended consequences of bans
24:08 – Crisis pregnancy centers: how to spot them
25:36 – The real cost of abortion care
27:32 – How sex ed is funded
32:43 – Fertility awareness vs. hormonal birth control
43:38 – “If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t try to restrict it”
Pleasure Highlights:
•
The personal is political. Laws on porn, sex toys, abortion, and sex ed shape bedrooms and exam rooms.
•
Start local. Know what care exists near you before tracking every headline.
•
Bans ripple outward. Clinics close, providers leave, and those with the fewest resources feel it most.
•
Check before you go. Crisis pregnancy centers can look like clinics but aren’t. Abortion Finder can help you verify.
•
Informed choice wins. Everyone deserves accurate info to choose what works for them.

Your body has been trying to tell you something. In this episode, Susanna Brisk, sexual intuition coach and author, joins us to explore how to tune into your yes, no, and hell yes. We talk about intuition vs. anxiety, ditching performative sex for present sex, and why orgasms should not be the only goal. Plus manifesting your person, fantasies as self-discovery, sex at every age, and why STI testing and the HPV vaccine matter. It's flirty, funny, and just a little bit wrong in the best way.

Show notes
Stressed out and wondering where your sex drive went? You're not broken. You're just stuck in survival mode. In this episode, licensed sex therapist Dr. Holly Wood, PhD, joins us to unpack why stress is the ultimate libido killer and what to actually do about it. We dig into the real difference between spontaneous and responsive desire, why desire discrepancy is the #1 issue she sees in her practice, and how to stop internalizing your partner's low libido as a personal rejection.

Rewire Your Desire with Dr. Rose
Season 1, Episode 245
Show notes
Your desire isn't broken; your nervous system is just doing its job too well. In this episode, pelvic floor PT and sex counselor Dr. Rose joins us to break down why trauma, stress, and hypervigilance can quietly tank your libido and what to actually do about it. We cover the "smoke detector" model of nervous system regulation, why desire discrepancy is normal (80% of couples deal with it), the four desire styles, and quick neuroscience-backed exercises that can shift you from a 2/10 to a 6/10 "open to intimacy" in minutes. If you've ever felt guilty for not being in the mood, you can stop “fixing” yourself and start understanding your body.

Show notes
Almost everything you're already doing in bed is a kink. In this episode, Alex Gay, porn star, kink educator, and host of Kink Curious, joins us to break down what kink actually means (spoiler: it's way broader than you think), why almost everyone is "kinky" without realizing it, and how shame keeps so many of us stuck. We get into the difference between a kink and a fetish, consent and communication in kink spaces, why aftercare matters just as much as the main event, and how to start exploring safely if you're kink-curious but don't know where to begin.

Kimchi For Your Coochie with The Cuntsultant
Season 1, Episode 243
Show notes
Your vagina has its own ecosystem, and no, that yeast on your test doesn't automatically mean infection. In this episode, The Cuntsultant breaks down the vaginal microbiome: why lactobacilli are your best friend, how your gut and hormones secretly run the show, and why "rebalance your pH" is basically meaningless advice. We get into recurrent BV, partner treatment, boric acid (plus the Poison Control call about oral sex timing), and why yogurt does NOT belong in your vagina. Honest, funny, shame-free.

05:57 – Who is The Cuntsultant?
07:55 – What is the vaginal microbiome and why it matters
08:30 – The gut-hormone connection
10:06 – Their Daye test results - shockingly low lactobacilli
10:50 – Yeast/mycoplasma showing up on a test doesn't always mean infection
16:41 – New guidance: BV treatment includes the partner
20:27 – Tight clothes, diet, and other everyday microbiome disruptors

32:52 – Boric acid 101 and the Poison Control call about oral sex timing

Yeast or "weird" bacteria on a test ≠ infection.
•
Oral probiotics can support vaginal health, but check strains.
•
Your vaginal pH is supposed to shift throughout your cycle.
•
Boric acid needs a 24-hour buffer before oral sex.

Is modern dating broken or are we just playing it too safe? Sexologist and soon-to-be sex therapist, Tori, joins us for a refreshingly honest conversation about why dating feels so exhausting right now.

Tori breaks down what a real red flag looks like, why inconsistency is the number one relationship killer, and why dating yourself might be your best move yet. Plus, compliments, eye contact, and why your gym is the dating app you're not using.

Own Your Pleasure with Dr. Amber Sophus
Season 1, Episode 237
Show notes
Watch or listen on YouTube + all major podcast platforms!
What if “good sex” has nothing to do with orgasms?
In this episode, Amber, a social behavior research scientist, joins us to explore women’s sexual pleasure and why pleasure has been left out of sexual health conversations. We dive into the science and stigma around STI prevention, the role of communication and self-exploration, and how societal expectations shape our experiences in the bedroom.
Amber shares insights from her research and her “Pleasure Class” workshops, unpacking why so many women struggle to identify what they actually want and how to start reclaiming it. From toys and turn-ons to boundaries and body awareness, this conversation challenges what you thought you knew about pleasure.
Because great sex isn’t about performance - it’s about connection.
Jump to the Good Stuff:
03:29 - Why pleasure is missing from sexual health conversations
07:55 - Why orgasms don’t equal good sex
10:41 - The pressure to perform vs. actually enjoying sex
13:07 - Why most women don’t know what they want
14:03 - Self-pleasure: the foundation for better partnered sex
16:55 - Toys: why what you like solo ≠ what you like with a partner
18:31 - How to communicate desires during sex without killing the vibe
18:49 - The “pleasure menu” concept
35:26 - Why negotiating condoms can sabotage pleasure
30:58 - Sexual pleasure as political (especially for Black women)
41:08 - Final reflections
Pleasure Highlights:
• Pleasure has historically been excluded from sexual health, especially for women
• Good sex is about the entire experience, not just the orgasm
• Many women know what they don’t want, but struggle to name what they do want
• Self-exploration is essential for confident communication with partners
• Preferences vary widely and can change over time
• Trying something once isn’t enough; exploration takes repetition
• Solo vs. partnered pleasure can feel completely different
• Communication during sex is a skill and a game changer
• “Negotiating” needs (like condom use) can disconnect you from pleasure

From Fantasy to Reality with Carly
Season 1, Episode 236
Show notes
Watch or listen on YouTube + all major podcast platforms!
Write your hottest fantasies into existence! In this episode, Carly, creator of Aurore, joins Jordan D’Nelle to explore the power of smart, sexy erotica for women. Carly shares why women often crave erotica over visual porn, how it fuels imagination, celebrates real bodies, and helps expand your personal “sex bucket list.”
Together they dive into the power of writing your own erotica, from reliving hot memories and healing past encounters to straight-up manifesting the sex you want. Along the way, they explore how this practice not only boosts creativity and sexual confidence, but also makes communicating your desires feel easier, more natural, and a lot more fun.
Jump to the Good Stuff:
03:47 – Why Women Love Erotica More Than Porn
06:05 – Healing Through Erotica
08:20 – Writing & Manifesting Sex Stories
12:15 – Plane Hookups, Gym Pick-Ups & DM Sliding Done Right
22:41 – Toxic Situationships vs. Clear Communication
25:38 – Erotica in the Bedroom
33:15 – Solo Pleasure & Slowing Down
37:30 – Defining Pleasure
Pleasure Highlights:
•
Erotica is powerful because it’s customizable. You control the fantasy, insert real bodies, and stay fully in your imagination without visual porn’s limitations or insecurities.
•
Writing your own sex stories is both arousing and healing. Relive the good, rewrite the disappointing, and even manifest future encounters.
•
Manifestation through writing works. Jordan’s spicy stories have literally come true; putting desires on paper (or sharing them) gives clear permission and builds consent.
•
Good sex fuels creativity. When you’re having satisfying sex or feeling desired, your creative energy skyrockets.
•
Communication is everything. Whether negotiating desires, setting expectations in dating, or introducing new moves inspired by erotica, be upfront about what you want (and what you don’t).
•
Everyday pleasure matters. Slowing down and eroticizing routine moments (coffee, skincare, walking) deepens overall sexual pleasure and life satisfaction.
•
Real, relatable stories hit hardest. Unrequited desire, yearning, and messy human connections often feel hotter than perfect fairy-tale romance.
•
Supportive partners exist. Men who celebrate your sexual openness and even draw inspiration from your work are out there.
