Season 12 is all about PLEASURE and we're kicking things off with a juicy one! This week, DB is joined by Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons—licensed psychologist, sex researcher, and pleasure activist—to talk about what happened when 1,000 people with masturbate for science! The Magic Wand Wellness Study is the first study of its kind to look at how daily masturbation impacts things like sleep, stress, focus, confidence, and body image, and the results were amazing. We talk about why solo pleasure is so often ignored in wellness culture, what DB learned from doing the study herself, and why taking time to get yourself off might actually make you feel better in your body, your brain, and your relationships. If you've been feeling disconnected from your pleasure — especially solo pleasure — this is your gentle nudge (or loud, vibrating one) to come back to it! GUEST DETAILS Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons is an award-winning associate professor at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health, where she studies sexual wellness and liberation. She has published over 80 academic articles and has been featured in popular media, including Cosmopolitan, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Essence, Ebony, and the Huffington Post. Her debut book, Good Sex: Stories, Science, and Strategies for Sexual Liberation was published February 2025 by Row House. ABOUT SEASON 12 Season 12 of Sex Ed with DB is ALL ABOUT PLEASURE!

Dr Steve Baguley is a consultant in Sexual Health & HIV and has been Chief Clinical Digital Officer for NHS Grampian since 2010. This episode features a discussion in which he compares Estonia's effective digital health system, which requires providers to submit care summaries to a central repository, enabling seamless data sharing and full transparency for citizens (who can view their records), and Scotland's NHS, which struggles with fragmented IT systems and unfulfilled promises, failing to meet its 2017 pledge for citizen data access by 2020. There have been significant delays in GP IT Re-provisioning, electronic prescribing and other digital transformation efforts. Steve also discusses the role of AI in healthcare. He highlights ambient scribe technology as a major breakthrough for reducing clinician administrative burden while maintaining documentation quality. However, he strongly advises caution regarding AI tools like ChatGPT for direct clinical decision-making. For critical applications, he recommends a dual-AI verification system to enhance safety and reliability. Steve argues for a pragmatic, needs-based deployment strategy for AI tools (such as ambient scribes and Microsoft Copilot), prioritizing specific use cases and user requirements.

It's the final Rom-Com Vom—and we're going out with a true vom. DB is joined by the brilliant Kate from CRAMPED to dissect No Strings Attached, a film so bafflingly bad it makes you double-check that yes, it really did come out in 2011. They unpack the film's deeply weird messages about women, work, and love, from its rare-but-still-weird period scene to its tired idea that ambitious women just need to be “fixed” by emotionally unavailable men.

This week, we are thrilled (wink wink) to review 13 Going on 30! DB and Paul talk about the ethics of age-gap romance when time travel is involved, and why 2000s films were so obsessed with pitting women against each other. Plus: dollhouses, dream jobs, and whether Matty is actually too good for Jenna. GUEST DETAILS Since 2019, Paul has been one-half of the creative team behind That Aged Well, a podcast devoted to movies, nostalgia, friendship, and inappropriate jokes. Paul spends a great deal of time singing along to musicals and reading X-Men comics. There are multiple videos of him performing Proud Mary (Tina Turner version) with the correct choreography, but he can't do it anymore because he'll throw his back out.

When Hitachi launched their ‘personal massager' on 20th May, 1968, they had no idea (or so they claim) that they were about to, um, go down in sex toy history. The Magic Wand was initially developed to relieve tension and relaxing sore muscles - but soon became celebrated as the most powerful vibrator the world had ever seen. In this episode, Rebecca, Olly and Arion discover how its innocent packaging helped boost sales when female masturbation was taboo, reveal the role sex educator Betty Dodson had in introducing it to the chattering classes, and consider how Apple would react today, if it was revealed that ‘rubbing an iPad on your bits felt good'...

DB is here with a critical update on the state of abortion in the U.S.—and it's a mixed bag. From attacks on medication abortion and emergency care to the pardoning of anti-abortion extremists, Trump's agenda is already reshaping access. But there's good news too: Arizona just delivered a major win, and organizing continues to pay off across the country. Also in this ep: the criminalization of providers, why trans rights are reproductive rights, and what you can do to stay informed—and stay loud.

This week, we're sharing a special clip from a recent episode of a podcast we love, rePROs Fight Back, where Madeline Morcelle, Senior Attorney at the National Health Law Program, breaks down why Medicaid is essential to sexual and reproductive healthcare—and what's at stake with proposed funding cuts. Medicaid currently insures over 72 million people, covering critical reproductive health services like family planning, pregnancy-related care, and abortion (within Hyde Amendment exceptions). But with massive budget cuts on the table, millions of low-income individuals—especially Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and young people—could see their access to care drastically reduced.

In Legally Blonde, Elle Woods follows her ex to Harvard Law to win him back—only to realize she's way too good for him. But does the movie actually challenge the system, or just find a way to play by its rules? This week, Brandon Kyle Goodman (Big Mouth, Tell Me Something Messy) joins DB to talk about why this movie still resonates, where it falls short on representation, and whether its brand of feminism is as empowering as we remember. Plus: the camp, the class privilege, and why Hollywood can't let a woman succeed without giving her a love story. GUEST DETAILS Brandon Kyle Goodman is a writer, actor, and host.

In The Wedding Planner, Steve and Mary never technically cross a physical line—but does that mean nothing shady is going on? If you're emotionally invested in someone outside your relationship, is that cheating? This week, DB brings in feminist relationship theory from bell hooks, Esther Perel, and Adrienne Rich to unpack emotional infidelity—what it is, why it happens, and how relationship norms shape who gets away with it. Plus: why women are expected to tolerate emotional neglect, how to set boundaries without controlling your partner, and why emotional closeness doesn't have to be a threat to commitment.

In this bonus episode, Dr. Gretchen Sisson returns to answer more of our biggest questions about adoption, including why adoption isn't the “solution” it's often made out to be, how birth mothers experience relinquishment, and what her research for Relinquished uncovered about the realities of adoption in the U.S. Mentioned in this episode: "Juno": Adoption Politics and Teen Pregnancy Tropes (Rom-Com Vom) CONNECT WITH US Instagram: @sexedwithdbpodcast TikTok: @sexedwithdbTwitter: @sexedwithdbThreads: @sexedwithdbpodcast YouTube: Sex Ed with DB ROM-COM VOM SEASON 11 SPONSORS: Lion's Den, Uberlube, Magic Wand, & Arya.

Juno is arguably the most well-known depiction of adoption in pop culture... but what messages does it really send about relinquishment, teen pregnancy, and reproductive justice? Is adoption truly the “perfect alternative” to abortion as Juno would have us believe, or does this charmingly complicated 2007 film gloss over the realities of birth mothers and family separation? This week, we're joined by Dr. Gretchen Sisson, sociologist and author of Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood, to break down Juno's thorny politics on choice, motherhood, and adoption. GUEST DETAILS Gretchen Sisson, Ph.D., is a qualitative sociologist studying abortion and adoption at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH) in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at University of California, San Francisco. Her research was cited in the Supreme Court's dissent in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. She is the author of Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood.
