Disordered eating, which includes things like having lots of rules about food, obsessions with eating patterns, and eating disorders, can seriously affect your sexuality and relationships. This episode is not about how to cure disordered eating (though we recommend reaching out to (800) 931-2237, by voice or text, for help). We talk about strategies to help you enjoy your sex and relationships when you aren't feeling 100 in your body... and how to help people you love who may need the support.

We are back from the biggest break we've ever taken--Spring's grief kept us from a few weeks of podcasting. But today we jump back in with a question sent to us by a young sex ed professional in Australia. They wanted us to talk about all the emotions that come up before, during, and after sex. So here we are! A lot can come up, and identifying what emotions are coming from where can be a tricky puzzle to figure out. Today's episode helps you navigate it all.

Today we go DEEP with vaginas! We tackle three vagina questions: one from a female about her own body's looks and smells, and two from heterosexual men. One of them is interested in learning more and one is only interested in vaginas as sexual objects. And shoutout to Awkwafina for our favorite vag song!  *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.
