Episode notes

I've definitely had some masturbation sessions where it's been really fun. And I know that I could probably get there, but it would just take a bit of extra work and I wasn't in the mood to put in that extra effort. Those orgasms are often much better than the ones that just have for the sake of it. If I have already turned on and then I start wanking, I'm gone. How's it? You're done. Just try again tomorrow if you want. This has been a big thing for me in terms of letting go of orgasm as the goal.

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.
