They break down why the movie still resonates, where it falls short on representation, and whether Elle Woods is actually challenging the system — or just learning to play by its rules.

Banter ends at 3:30 It's Back to School time. But is your kids' school undermining your pro-life, Christian values? Some educators are teaching a lot more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we look at 7 red flags to look out for this school year, and tips for parents on how to address these red flags.
Sex education is highly controversial. Last year alone, 27 US states introduced bills aimed at restricting sex ed! However, this fight over what sex ed should cover (and whether it should even be taught at all) is nothing new. We’ve been having the same fights about sex ed for over a century, and that’s a big part of the reason why modern sex education still sucks. I'm joined today by Margaret Grace Myers, a writer, researcher, educator, and former bookseller based in Maine. She is the author of the new book The Fight For Sex Ed: The Century Long Battle Between Truth and Doctrine. Some of the specific topics we explore include: Why do we keep having the same arguments about sex ed? What really holding sex education back? How did abstinence become such a dominant part of sex education in the US? Does abstinence education actually work as intended? Why is it so hard to access comprehensive sex education when it’s what most parents say they want? You can check out Margaret’s website to learn more about her work. Got a sex question?

On this episode of The Partnership Podcast, Trey asks Lauren about the career-focused women she works with—are they struggling to find partners, and why? Lauren's answer may surprise you (and you'll have to listen to see if she chose the unfiltered or the compassionate version).Together, Trey and Lauren explore the dating challenges ambitious women face, why many men resist accountability, and how women and men often enter coaching from very different motivations. Lauren shares a tearful reflection on what Trey provides her—calling him her “soft place to land”—and why deep support, joy, and emotional presence matter just as much as great sex.She also celebrates the men she does get to work with—those hungry for tools to love women better—and why this feels deeply restorative and healing. To close, Lauren offers a trauma-informed perspective: that many men's avoidant behaviors are safety-seeking strategies learned in childhood.This conversation reframes what some call “high-value women” and clarifies what truly matters in creating the kind of partnership career-focused women are longing for.If you're a man ready to step into the kind of relationship women deeply desire, request a free consult today: www.sexedforyou.com/freeconsultAbout Us: Lauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia where Lauren owns and operates, SEX ED FOR YOU.

In this episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey break down two of the most unhelpful questions partners ask: “Are you OK?” and “What's wrong?”Right before recording, Lauren asked Trey, “Are you OK?”—and it sparked a powerful conversation. These questions often come from hypervigilance in our own nervous systems, not from genuine curiosity about our partner's well-being.Trey shares the stress response he felt in his body and why he'd prefer to hear:“Is there any way I can support you?”Or even, “My body can sense some discomfort in yours. Would you like to share about that?”From there, the two dive into:

We're picking up right where we left off in last week's episode! Trey kicks things off with a scene where Lauren asks him not to masturbate because she's craving his pursuit. What follows is a hilarious and eye‑opening exchange about dating each other inside a long‑term relationship.From there, Lauren dives deep into spontaneous vs. responsive desire—and she doesn't hold back about how frustrating it is that so many men want women to “just want them more,” without doing the work to actually understand responsive desire!We break down the scene step‑by‑step and show how having the right tools (and the courage to use them!) helps us get the sex we both want. Then we open the door to one of our favorite parts of our week—our Sunday Morning Ritual.We talk about:What our ritual actually looks like (and why it's never locked in stone)How those slow, connected hours keep us craving each otherWhy this practice feels like both an investment in our sexual connection and a trip to our “favorite restaurant”Don't forget to listen to last week's episode first for the full story—then join us here for the deep dive!Want to learn how to craft rituals like this in your own relationship—and talk about the sex you actually want?

Culture matters. We see it in the response to the new American Eagle ads featuring actress Sydney Sweeney and the Dunkin' Donuts commercial starring Gavin Casalegno. And we see it in the way Americans think and talk about abortion and having children. On this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” March for Life President Jennie Bradley Lichter joins the show to discuss where American sentiment on abortion stands, and how the pro-life movement is effectively working to save the unborn even as chemical abortions have become the most popular form of abortion in the U.S. Lichter also discusses her work during the first Trump administration and answers the question: can women have it all? Plus, former Vice President Kamala Harris is coming out with a book on her 107 day presidential campaign. Should be a fun read! We react to the news.

This episode of #mensexpleasure is a compilation of shorter videos I've posted on my social media over the last year about sex education. I delve into this contentious issue, addressing and debunking the talking points propagated by conservative commentators such as Candace Owens, Matt Walsh, and Ben Shapiro. I summarise the historical context of sex education, clarify misconceptions, and provide evidence against claims that sex education sexualises students, leads to increased sexual activity, or contributes to a rise in STIs. I also critique the rationale behind abstinence-only education and highlight the benefits of comprehensive sexuality education, including its role in reducing teen pregnancies and preventing sexual violence. Finally, this episode emphasises the importance of understanding the political and ethical motives driving opposition to sex ed and advocates for informed, reality-based discussions on the topic.Key Points:00:51 Historical Context of Sex Education in Schools04:51 Conservative Critiques and Counterarguments18:42 The Role of Parents in Sex Education20:34 Conservative Push to Abolish Sex Education24:55 Conservative Views on Teenage Pregnancy26:45 Debunking Pornographic Sex Ed Allegations30:45 Condom Relay Races and Misinformation32:56 Sexuality Education in Europe and Misconceptions38:10 Consent Education and Its Challenges43:40 Choking During Sex: A Dangerous Trend51:02 Conservative Rhetoric and the Value of Pleasure in Sex

In this short but powerful episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey pick up right where they left off.Lauren invites Trey to share what he's been exploring around his source wound, and he opens up about a childhood memory from 1994 — sitting in a car, hearing Adam Sandler's “The Chanukah Song,” and feeling an intense response in his 10-year-old body.With the help of a meditative practice inspired by Dr. Joe Dispenza, and guided by Lauren, Trey revisits this memory using active imagination — and discovers how much healing can happen when a partner helps you repattern what once felt too big to hold alone.Together, they talk through what it's like to do this kind of inner child work in relationship, how safety can be renegotiated when met with presence, and why they'd like to apply the same toolset to old wounds from their recent NYC rupture.Timestamps:00:00 Why Trey wanted to share this memory02:55 The 1994 car memory & The Chanukah Song06:45 Active imagination as a relational repair tool10:30 Trey's nervous system response & what helped12:50 Can we use this process for NYC too?✨ Want to learn how to use tools like the ones we shared today?Request a free consult at: www.sexedforyou.com/freeconsultAbout Us: Lauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia where Lauren owns and operates, SEX ED FOR YOU.

In this deeply honest episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey revisit the rupture they first discussed after their NYC trip — but now, they're speaking from the other side of a powerful coaching session with their person, Dr. Joli Hamilton.They explore how separating roles in their partnership has transformed the way they handle feedback, support, and stress. Lauren introduces the term “Vision Carrier,” a phrase that finally captures the role Trey has long played in her life. At 10:42, Lauren shares the moment she felt real validation — when their coach and Trey both affirmed that her critique of Trey's self-awareness wasn't too much, it was spot-on.They discuss how denial of her feelings touched on old wounds of gaslighting from her first marriage, and how they are both working to repattern their safety-seeking behaviors in real time.And even though the work is hard (Lauren shares she felt physically sick before the session), they're recommitting to a partnership where love is prioritized over comfort.Timestamps:00:00 NYC rupture recap & coaching session reflection04:51 “Vision Carrier” and role separation10:42 The moment Lauren felt less “crazy”14:45 The difference between critique and cruelty20:30 Trey's repatterning work26:00 Love vs. comfort in partnership✨ Want to learn relationship tools like the ones we shared today?Request a free 15-minute consult at: www.sexedforyou.com/freeconsultAbout Us: Lauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia where Lauren owns and operates, SEX ED FOR YOU.

Can you play The 3-Minute Game without it leading to arousal?In this powerful episode, Trey and Lauren demonstrate how to play a completely platonic version of the 3-Minute Game - a core practice from Dr. Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent®. They explain how this version builds self-awareness, trust, and clear boundaries without courting arousal or triggering old patterns.At minute 18:23, tune in to watch them play live, bringing real-time curiosity, discomfort, and delight to the table. They show how clear requests and responses can strengthen relational dynamics - even when it's not about sex.They also unpack a vulnerable moment from a recent Sunday morning where the game went sideways. When Trey said “do whatever you want,” it sparked confusion and disconnection. Lauren shares how this moment felt like desire smuggling - and what helped them find clarity and repair.Stay through the end as they offer creative ideas for body-based requests, explore their most challenging quadrants from the Wheel of Consent, and reflect on why this practice is one of the most transformational tools in their relationship.Want to learn more about the 3-Minute Game?

After Lauren's standing-room-only Soho House event, she and Trey pull back the curtain on what happened behind the scenes—and why big wins can sometimes bring up big shadows.Lauren introduces her inner "Sissy," the part of her that believes she's only lovable if she's working hard, never celebrating. She opens up about the shame spiral that followed her success and how it led to a painful rupture with Trey. Trey shares his raw truth about feeling like “the help” while everyone else gets the best version of Lauren—and the resentment that can build in silence.They explore their shadow stories, like “I'm never enough” and “I don't get to want,” and how irrational beliefs can hijack real connection. They break down the missteps and miscommunications, the tender repair, and the nervous system reset they found on a long walk (and a 5-minute oral sex session that helped them stop over-talking).Lauren reflects on the power of being surrounded by people who help her level up—and cries as she thanks Trey for being her dream man, the one who keeps showing up.Don't miss the emotional moment at minute 42 where Lauren names, with full heart, the partnership they've built—and the gratitude she feels for the man who keeps cheering her on.
Natalie is joined by sex educator Erica Smith to talk about how our obsession with purity culture affects the quality of sex education we are given. Sex education should be something that is delivered to people without bias and without the idea that virginity and religion should be at the center of your sexual identity. Erica is the creator of the Purity Culture Dropout program that aims to provide support to people who are wanting to de-program from purity culture and take part in sex education that is queer inclusive, safe, and informative. The episode will center around how we became so purity driven when it came to sexuality, the consequences we face when sex is only viewed from the lens of religious morality, and what steps we can be taking to make sure we are talking about sex in ways that everyone has the knowledge to make decisions based in how they actually feel.Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram!https://www.patreon.com/menivetoleratedpod on Patreon for bonus content!

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!

How many times do dolphins have sex? And do manatees masturbate? This week, we somehow dove into the sex habits of mammals—starting with dolphins and then wandering into even stranger waters with manatees and whether or not they enjoy a little “solo” time. Which oddly led us straight to dinosaurs. Did they actually have sex? Or did they just lay eggs and call it a day? We have zero science degrees but so many questions.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?
