Recorded live at TopatoCon 2015, Emily and an all-star panel of guests discuss a wide variety of topics: finding pleasure rather than accepting what you're stuck with, body image, vulva puppetry, feeling trapped by lack of education, and the miraculous powers of a legendary...Magic Wand.

Her podcasting schedule completely wrecked by Book Tour (which is going great, by the way!), Emily "phones in" a micro-episode where she answers listener mail. How do we deal with the way our partner relationships change over time? "Very carefully" is the short answer.

April 01, 2015 00:00 - 1 hour - 46 Bytes

"Penny Hall" in New Zealand has spent her life at war with a phantom self that has informed who she thinks she's supposed to be sexually. She talks about her lifelong discovery process of determining whether she is, in fact, Super-Sexy Lady, or if her authentic Sexual Identity is really "just" Penny Hall. "Penny Hall" will return.

3: Moral Foundation

March 14, 2015 20:28 - 33 minutes - 20 Bytes

Amelia Nagoski is a choral conductor and Emily's twin sister. They start with lube and go from there, eventually talking about Stephen Fry and how prejudices appear in strange places when it regards what we define as "abnormal".

They also discuss the male-centric definitions of sex (especially as it pertains to orgasm), as well as how Big Pharma is trying to medicalize women's sexual dysfunction with "Female Viagra".
