Episode notes

Masturbation is a really important part of the conversation that we miss out on. We are partnering with Lustery, which has real couples who film sex from their homes. They have filmed special videos where they talk about masturbation up front. And then they're showing each other how they get themselves off. It's this celebration of like masturbation and also also mutual masturbation. Which is a part of sex, which I don't think gets talked about enough because it's bloody wonderful. But when you're trying to describe like we ranked each other off or mutual masturbation or like fingering hand job, there isn't a nice succinct word for it. So yes, it's quite confusing really,

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.
