We dive (almost literally) into our aquarium adventure, Remi’s shockingly unexpected favorite animal, yes, getting kicked out of a restaurant. Plus, Remi spills on her airplane food poisoning saga and we discuss the world of YouTube—kids’ content, family vloggers, and the rise (and fall?) of couples channels.

This week on Pretty Basic we’re getting real about sex with special guests Dr. Cory Pedersen (founder of Orgasm Lab) and Amanda Champion (lead researcher). From the psychology behind dick pics (including the recent one Alisha got 👀), to the orgasm gap, to the myths and taboos we all grew up with—nothing is off-limits. We talk about why men send them in the first place, how sexting plays into relationships, and what it really means for intimacy. The conversation also dives into the under-education of anatomy, where female nerve endings actually are, the truth about “size,” and how penis-centric masculinity ties into sexism and narcissism. And yes, we’re covering it all—from frequency of sex, to toys in the bedroom, to nipple-gasms and the many different ways women can orgasm.Discover the study for yourself: https://www.mnscpd.com/FacePicsInsteadGet 20% off Manscaped products with this link: https://www.manscaped.com/prettybasicpodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week’s Pretty Basic is giving exclusive tea and a little bit of therapy. 👀 Alisha may or may not have been the whistleblower on Taylor Swift’s engagement (oops). She’s also in the middle of a real-life love triangle (yes, really), questioning long-distance relationships, and wondering if she’s… a f**boy? We’re exposing her avoidant attachment style, the signs from God she may or may not have received, and why not knowing hurts more than heartbreak itself.Meanwhile, Remi spills on her big Nickelodeon animated debut (!!), and the girls recap their wild weekend in Miami—think drag brunch, yacht days, and plenty of chaos. Oh, and BTW… a major rebrand is happening. Say goodbye to “Alisha Marie” and hello to just “Alisha.” (Sooo sophisticated.)Preorder Let’s Get Cooking by Remi Cruz Parsons: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Lets-Get-Cooking/Remi-Cruz-Parsons/9781668066836Sponsors: Find your perfect apparel and beauty looks and shop back-to-school essentials by visiting https://g.co/shopping/prettybasicBlissy: Get better sleep, hair and skin with Blissy and use PRETTYBASIC to get an additional 30% off at blissy.com/PRETTYBASICHappy Thursday: To find out more and find a Happy Thursday near you visit drinkhappythursday.com/PRETTYBASIC. Skims: Shop my favorite bras and underwear at SKIMS.comFunction: Learn more and join using our link.
