A podcast about navigating sexuality as a young adult. From figuring out answers to the questions we've had since middle and high school to exploring the narratives that have shaped American beliefs and values about how we experience our bodies, relationships, gender and pleasure.
Episode 8
February 24th, 2022
In this episode, Courtney and Mallory pick up where they left off in episode 2. Mallory shares a brief update of her life (and body) sans birth control and what it’s like to be experiencing pimples as an adult when she thought she had her skin care routine down. Due to potential job changes and location of her current job, Mallory has been doing a DIY approach (aka research heavy, book focused) to getting her body back on track. Courtney shares her experience coming off birth control, conversations she had with her doctor and a visit to the ER. She also shares her experience with a potential PCOS diagnosis and wanting to stay off birth control. Listen as Mallory and Courtney discuss two very different experiences.

No Guilt Just Pleasure
Listen as Courtney and Mallory discuss all things “guilty” pleasure. They go over “guilty” pleasures and why calling them guilty is BS. This episode is more of a go with the flow and sharing what makes them feel good. Courtney shares how she felt guilt with her “guilty” pleasure and why it is simply just a pleasure—a great one for her. They discuss a bit more about Courtney’s pleasure and why people feel a type of way about it. Mallory shares some nonsexual “guilty” pleasures and then shares a lot of the similar feelings as Courtney. They laugh, they giggle, they talk about smutty smut and share some of their favorite books and authors as well as other ways to feel, explore, and find pleasures. It’s short, it’s sweet, it’s fun and it’s us.
Correction: the 9th Bridgerton book is a collection of second epilogues, NOT all about Violet. This book also includes a short (like 100 pages) story of Violet meeting Edmund Bridgerton.
