Strange Bedfellows: The Truth About STIs with Dr. Ina Park

Strange Bedfellows: The Truth About STIs with Dr. Ina Park

In this essential episode of the Sex with Emily podcast, Dr. Emily sits down with Dr. Ina Park, associate professor at UCSF School of Medicine and author of "Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs." From her early days as a peer educator dressed as a giant condom at UC Berkeley to becoming a leading expert in sexual health, Dr. Park brings both humor and expertise to one of the most stigmatized topics in sexual wellness. We dive deep into the myths and realities surrounding STIs, exploring why HPV is truly "the common cold of the genitals" that nearly everyone will encounter, how herpes stigma far outweighs its actual health impact, and why people who know their status are actually safer partners than those who don't. Dr. Park shares fascinating insights about everything from The Bachelor's problematic STI testing to the connection between pubic hair grooming and infection risk. This conversation tackles the shame and fear that keep us from having honest discussions about sexual health, while providing practical advice on testing, disclosure, and maintaining healthy relationships regardless of STI status. We also explore the vaginal microbiome, why some people are more susceptible to infections, and promising new treatments on the horizon. Key Topics Covered: HPV: Why it's unavoidable and how to think about it differently Herpes disclosure and reducing transmission risk The truth about oral sex and STI transmission Pubic hair, Brazilian waxes, and infection risk Vaginal health and the microbiome Why knowing your status makes you a safer partner Breaking down STI stigma and shame Dr. Park's refreshing approach reminds us that STIs are simply part of being sexually active humans, and that knowledge, communication, and compassion are our best tools for sexual wellness. Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Dr. Park's journey from condom costume to STI expert 07:00:00 - HPV: The common cold of the genitals 14:00:00 - Herpes myths, realities, and disclosure strategies 22:00:00 - Oral sex and STI transmission risks 26:00:00 - Pubic hair grooming and infection risk 31:00:00 - Vaginal microbiome and bacterial balance 36:00:00 - Listener Q&A: Real STI concerns answered 42:00:00 - Breaking stigma and having better conversations This episode emphasizes that sexual health is part of overall wellness, and that honest, shame-free conversations about STIs can transform how we approach intimate relationships.

Nina Hartley: Porn Star, Activist, and Hand Job Expert

Nina Hartley: Porn Star, Activist, and Hand Job Expert

The iconic Porn Star Nina Hartley talks about making porn, feminism, non-monogamy, and how to give a woman the perfect hand job (there is some light pulling and pinching involved). Nina Hartley also talks boldly about the butt. Nina says, “Butts are like cats. They have to be coaxed and seduced every time. They are moody and you can’t fool a butt into liking you, or feeling relaxed. Butts know when the thing touching them is paying attention, or being a jerk.” In other words, if you want to get down and dirty with anal sex, you must have open communication with your partner and feel genuinely comfortable with your butt (and what’s going on inside of it). While drunken anal sex might seem like the greatest thing in the world, it’s better to be fully aware of what is happening and be cognizant of hygiene rules. Before you even get to anal sex or intercourse for that matter, you need to find out what kind of relationships you’re looking for. Are you monogamous and looking for one mate, or are you non-monogamous and ready to land in more than one place? Nina talks about her sexual identity and how she embraced a non-monogamous lifestyle. When we're younger, we often make the same mistakes over and over again. Sleeping with people who don’t care about us, and getting in relationships with people who don’t want the same things as we do, and feeling guilty for having a love life that falls short of a romantic comedy. You have to figure out what works for you, and not anyone else. Some people enjoy random sex, other people don’t. Nina enjoys doing porn because she likes having sex with people without having to date them. Other people find that having sex with strangers makes them feel empty. Find out what kind of relationships makes you happy, and don’t look back. Finally, Nina Hartley gives descriptive directions on how to pleasure a woman with your hands. You’ll learn how to lightly pinch and pull her clitoris and make it move. Nina gives great foreplay tips, because unless she says, “do me right now you sexy beast,” you’re going to have to get her warmed up for sex.

SWE: Cheaters, Selfish Lovers & Fake Orgasms

SWE: Cheaters, Selfish Lovers & Fake Orgasms

Things that I don’t tolerate and you shouldn’t either: cheaters, selfish lovers, and fake orgasms. Don’t fake orgasms! Don’t try to put on a sexy face and give a porn star moan when you don’t mean it. Instead of faking orgasms, find out how you can really enjoy sex. It helps if you have a tall, dark, and handsome companion, but you need to do the work on yourself to find out what feels good. Show him what you like, instead of putting on a show to satisfy his ego.How do you know if your boyfriend is cheating? If you have to ask whether your boyfriend is a cheater or not, then he’s probably a cheater. I’ll show you how to know whether he’s a cheater or not, without going through his cell phone in the middle of the night.How much should you talk about sex on a date? As a sex expert, I probably talk about sex more than the average person. I can’t help bring up sex when I’m out on a date, but should you talk about sex on the first date? Also, what do you do about a selfish lover? If he’s not going down on you, what is the best plan of attack? Withhold oral sex from him? Steal his video game controls? Or maybe you should just communicate with your partner that you want oral sex? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SWE: Real Men Give Oral Sex- Loveline Host Mike Catherwood

SWE: Real Men Give Oral Sex- Loveline Host Mike Catherwood

According to Loveline Host Mike Catherwood, real men give oral sex (if only all men shared Mike Catherwood's definition of a real men *sigh*). If you don't genuinely want to please women and you don't want to give them multiple orgasms, listen to another podcast! Real men: Don't become irrationally angry about their girlfriend's sexual history. Instead of obsessing about your partner's past sexual experiences, focus on making your present relationship pleasurable. Just like you've desired other women, they've desired other men. What matters now is that you desire and enjoy each other. Real men don't pound away like a jack hammer during sex. Real men follow Mike Catherwood's three amazing oral sex tips on women (they're good ladies!). Real men understand that sex isn't just about technique or how long you last, it's about having confidence and a good attitude (even if you orgasm in 15 seconds). Real men use vibrators during sex! Real men try to make sex interesting in long-term relationships. And finally, real men don't call women sluts.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SWE: Female Ejaculation

SWE: Female Ejaculation

Female Ejaculation- it is intense and it is real. With your finger on her G-spot and your thumb on her clitoris, give her a crazy, squirting orgasm. I’ll tell you how to warm her up, find her G-spot, massage her G-spot, and pleasure her clitoris until she gets to the point of female ejaculation. Before I bequeath you with the secrets of female ejaculation, I give listeners advice on how to have the sex and relationships they want. I help: The guy who needs a new sex position. The husband who won’t stop inappropriately poking his wife. The woman who needs to dye her hair a crazy color and have more confidence. The guy who needs to get pegged with a strap-on.

SWE: Living Sexy: Swingers Holli & Michael Tell All

SWE: Living Sexy: Swingers Holli & Michael Tell All

Swingers Holli and Michael from Playboy Radio’s SWING share everything about living sexy— The swingers parties, dealing with jealousy, and of course the sex. Almost everyday someone asks me, "so what's the deal with swingers?" No, they don't all have ponytails, and they aren't all "crazy." Unless your definition of crazy is having open communication with your partner, and admitting that monogamy doesn't always work for you. Swingers put everything out in the open— they share their fantasies with their partner, ask for consent before trying to have with someone, and tell their partner everything. Swingers have so much trust in their relationships because there is nothing to hide. There is no cheating and lying. Although swingers are largely perceived as "crazy," they have some of the most realistic and unrepressed relationships I've ever seen. Even if you don't want partake in the Swingers lifestyle, there are a lot things people can learn from Swingers and people in open relationships. The great part about open relationships is that you get to create your own rules. You decide on things like, are you allowed to kiss another person? If you go sleep with someone, does that mean you spend the night? Setting up rules forces the couple to communicate about what they expect from the relationship. Enough about relationships, let's get to the sex. Holli and Michael give their best sex tips. Holli, a bisexual swinger, and Michael, who has gone down on A LOT of women, give advice on giving women oral sex. Michael even shares how he gives women multiple orgasms, because why limit yourself to only one orgasm? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SWE: Chasing vs. Waiting for Sex

SWE: Chasing vs. Waiting for Sex

I'm answering Sex With Emily listener's relationship questions, with a few sex questions sprinkled in for good measure. In this show, Menace and I debate the male and female perspective on people's most common relationship issues. We tell you when to move on from an unhealthy relationship and when to stop licking your wounds in a bad breakup. We also teach how to have courage to change, and have better relationships. Sex with Emily listener's Relationship Questions: When should you let down your guard and commit to someone? How many times do you try to make a relationship work before calling it quits? How do I get over the girl I'm still in love with? What do you do when you and lover can't agree on places to meet? Is is worth it to wait to have sex? When is the right time to lose your virginity? How many dates should you go on before having sex with someone? Why do women like giving double blow jobs so much? (someone has been watching a lot of porn.) Why does eating certain things make semen taste differently? Girls like the chase, right? But when is it an exciting pursuit and when is it stalking? When should the guy give up ? When is his pursuit cute and when is it creepy ? When should he fear a restraining order? (FYI. Throwing rocks at her window in the middle of the night isn't cute, unless you're a character in a teenage Romantic Comedy.) What do I do if I queef? (Hint: Do not run away screaming or hide under a rock) Sex isn't neat and tidy. It's messy, just like relationships. You can't run away the second you start feeling vulnerable or exposed. On the other hand, you shouldn't stay in a relationship because you think you'll be lost without it. Great change requires some personal struggle. The key to relationships is finding the right person to let yourself be vulnerable with, and having the courage to leave when things no longer fit. Oh, and try not to stalk anyone. As much as women like the idea of "the chase," we usually make time for people we are interested in.

SWE: Porn Star Sex (It's Not What You Think)

SWE: Porn Star Sex (It's Not What You Think)

How does a porn star have sex when he's not on a porn set? Does he pump away for hours with his chiseled abs glistening with sweat? According to porn star Joey Ray, porn star sex isn't all it's cracked up to be. No one wants it to last that long, that hard. Porn focuses on performance, not pleasure. You might learn some fancy moves from porn, but you're not going to learn how to truly pleasure a woman. So, how do you please a woman? Ray is all about female pleasure. He talks about how to last the right amount of time during sex. Hint: It's about how long it takes her to orgasm. He also talks about how to find out what turns on different women. The same techniques don't work with every partner. You have to pay attention and really get to know her body, instead of obsessing about your own performance. The more you make sex about her, and the less you try to act like a porn star, the better the sex will be. The take home message: Have sex like a porn star, but only when they aren't having sex for the camera. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
