Podcasts about sexual wellness

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!

The answer is...it can't be.Enjoy this story of about complicated taboo relationships, sexuality, seeking one's needs, the search for feeling alive again, and the forbidden love of a secret lover. Entertainment arts can come in the form of an erotic romance short story, providing tales that stretch our minds, help us process life, and give us different perspectives to consider, all through the art of storytelling.
