Sex Talk with Erika Miley

About Sex Talk with Erika Miley

I’m Dr. Erika Miley (Dr. E) — licensed therapist, clinical sexologist, professor, and your favorite neurodivergent bisexual MILF with a brain full of research and a mouth that doesn’t know when to stop. This show is for the curious, the kinky, the overstimulated, and the over-it. We’ll talk about sex without purity politics, trauma without turning it into your whole personality, and desire without apology. Because here’s the thing: so many of us — especially women — are living in bodies that were never taught to rest, feel, or want. We’re raising kids, running businesses, surviving late-stage capitalism, and trying to remember what turns us on besides iced coffee and fictional fae warriors. So we’re going to talk about it all — Why Romantasy is the cultural Prozac we didn’t know we needed. Why erotica can feel like therapy when porn just… doesn’t. What porn women actually watch. And what we know now about perimenopause, hormones, and pleasure that our mothers were never told. This isn’t therapy. This isn’t porn. This is The Soft Science Show. And yes — you can stim while you listen. I do.

   Your Pain Is Not Up for Debate

   Medical trauma isn’t always a procedure. Sometimes it’s disbelief. In this episode, we talk about what happens when women are cast as unreliable narrators of their own bodies—and how to reclaim the story. From birth injury dismissal to neurodivergent ableism, this is about power, authorship, and refusing to let someone else define your pain. You are not a faulty narrator.

In this crossover episode of TwoX Labs x The Soft Science, Dr. Erika Miley breaks down:🧠 What AI actually is (and isn’t) — and why it can sound empathetic without ever understanding you.💬 How clients are turning to AI for emotional support — and what needs that really meets.⚠️ Why therapists must start asking about AI use the same way we ask about coping skills.🛑 What harm reduction looks like when AI becomes part of the therapy process.🧩 How professional associations need to protect the field — before insurance companies decide AI can replace human care. This episode is for therapists, clients, and anyone trying to navigate the messy new frontier where care meets code.

[…] Women who have been told that they're dramatic. It's all in our heads, right? I'm working with quite a few clients right now who are deeply competent individuals, and super intelligent, who are repeatedly dismissed. And what they're experiencing is not incompetence. It's not overreaction. It is the erasure of their narratives. This narrative to been around for millennia, the unreliable female narrator. There's a long cultural history of women being cast as unreliable narrators of their own bodies. It's been called hysteria. It's been called somatatization. It's been called it's probably stress.
