Let’s get down to the nitty gritty about periods and the menstrual cycle!

I promised you that this episode would be about periods and the menstrual cycle, but something urgent came up that I had to make an episode about. The Amy and Johnny storyline in Love is Blind season 6 where they decide not to have sex because Amy is not on birth control.

What the heck is the Coolidge Effect? Sex research nerds will be familiar with this term, but others might not. It is a specific sexual phenomenon named after an urban legend about U.S. President Calvin Coolidge. Sound odd? It is! And the researcher who named it that did it as a hoax.

Part 2 of my 2 month road trip. I visit the Kinsey Institute, attend a kink convention, and contemplate the many abortion-related billboards on my journey through the U.S.A.

Do We Know Things is back, baby! Join me on a road trip as I share sex info and insights.

On episode 53, I made the questionable choice to delve into the debates around circumcision.

On this episode, I am joined again by resident man, Matt Tunnacliffe and we will dig into some of the responses we got after the last episode. As expected, the responses were divided! We talk bias, science, and how many things we still don’t know.

Stories are fundamental part of the human existence and have existed since we have had language. We form our cultures and belief systems around stories. Writers of fiction have the gift of being able to create entire worlds through the stories they tell. I partnered with the Frye Festival to interview authors who do just that.

I am joined by authors and translators Aimee Wall, Clémentine Beauvais, and Sonya Malaborza. We discuss sex, sexual assault, and abortion in fiction, as well as the nuances and tensions of translating works into different languages.

Penile circumcision. It’s a big deal! People have very strong feelings about it. On this episode, I will explore the controversies around penile circumcision: does it affect penile sensitivity? Does it offer any health benefits? Is it ethical? And why do we see penile genital surgery as different than other kinds of genital surgery.

Endometriosis is a debilitating chronic pain disease that affects millions of people in North America, but many people have never even heard of it. People suffering from endometriosis are misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and ignored by many in the medical community. This episode follows the story of three women who have endometriosis: from initial symptoms, the epic journey to diagnosis, and the limited treatments available. Andrée-Anne, Léonore, and Maggie share their pain, the medical gaslighting, and the frustration of having a disease with no cure.
