In Bed With Alexa: Have Better Sex10 Jul 2025

Douching, Pulling Out & Other Myths That Need to Go (ft. Birna Gustafsson)

Sexologist Alexa Andre (@sexwithalexa) is joined by Birna Gustafsson, sex educator with a master's in public health and host of Explicit Studies, to talk about the sea of sexual misinformation we’re constantly swimming in—and how to get better at spotting it.

Together, they bust myths that still circulate widely online (even in sex-positive spaces) and explore how shame, purity culture, and bad science shape our sexual health beliefs.

Expect to learn:

The actual failure rate of pulling out and why it’s riskier than you think

Why douching is unnecessary—and can be harmful

Whether you can get pregnant on your period (hint: you can)

The truth about HPV, oral sex, and throat cancer

Why orgasms aren’t the only marker of “good sex”

The dangers of black-and-white sex advice on social media

How kids are absorbing harmful beliefs from TikTok, porn & uninformed adults

Why pegging can turn men into better lovers 👀

Why we must improve sex ed for healthcare professionals

How to know if your sex advice source is trustworthy

Birna also shares how she's helping train nurses and midwives to better support patients with inclusive, evidence-based sex education. Plus: her favorite sex ed resources, books, and where to go if you're ready to learn the truth.
