Periods in Partnerships! The Messy Truth

This episode begins with a silly little confession from Trey and leads into a deeper dive of the many health benefits of masturbation when used as a purposeful tool. Lauren believes that it's time to let go of the misinformation that continues to leave people feeling guilt and shame about a normal expression of the sexual self.

The REAL content of this episode revolves around the taboo of menstruation and period sex! As a menstruating person, Lauren has experienced GREAT period sex and hilarious period sex and she gets down and dirty with Trey as they talk about it all! What was intended to be a silly and lighthearted discussion on how to incorporate an intimacy blanket like The Layer (https://getthelayer.com/products/the-layer - use sexedforyou at checkout for 10% off!) into your love-making became a much deeper discussion on the taboos that continue to surround menstruating people.

Lauren and Trey brainstorm workplace emergencies and deconstruct chauvinistic slurs aimed at people who menstruate, and how as humans we can all do better. You'll watch as Lauren breaks down as she and Trey discuss this topic for VERY FIRST TIME! Trey explains his perspective on those who fail to use empathy for those in their lives who menstruate.

We hope you'll send this podcast to all who need it. Trey and Lauren both believe that until we can openly and honestly discuss menstruation and the role it plays in our relationships, we cannot fully embrace partnership. This podcast is for those who have sex with people who bleed, have children who bleed, and work with those who bleed.
