Episode notes

Amy is working on a zine all about masturbation. It's just like a very raw and real look at something that a lot of people don't normally get to see. Because it's all shot in film, it's realistic. There's really not that many places where I have been able to access that kind of content. And my favorite thing is the fact that when you're really aroused, you're like threshold for disgust goes up. When you're aroused, you find less things gross. Like bodily fluids. That's one of my favoriteThings about sex is that it's like you've got this spectrum from like really sexy and arousing to disgust. And it just like moving somewhere

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Poppy Lepora, who is the founder of the independent sex toy boutique Self & More and a masturbation enthusiast. Poppy discusses discovering self-pleasure and we talk about lockdown masturbation habits (with data!). She and Hannah talk about the stigma around masturbation if you're in a relationship and really get into the theme of "messy masturbation" - the real, dirty, horny reality of wanking. Finally, Hannah and Poppy discuss what it's like running a sex-positive business using Instagram as a main platform and the difficulties with their sex-negative policies, AND, of course, Poppy gives us a whole bunch of sex toy recommendations.

MORE ABOUT POPPY LEPORA
Poppy Scarlett Lepora is the owner of Self & More sex toy boutique, a pleasure educator and female masturbation activist (aka a proud wanker). She launched Self & More because she was frustrated by the way that many sex toy retailers viewed female pleasure through the male gaze. She believes that shopping for sex toys should be as simple and shame-free as shopping for any other kind of self care items.

Poppy is a polyamorous, bisexual woman who’s dedicated to helping people to speak
more honestly about their sexual desires and dismantling the stigma that still surrounds masturbation in the UK.
