Episode 32: The Big Sister Chat — What We Wish We Knew Back Then About Sex, Bodies & Relationships

A listener asked Dr. Rebecca and Dr. Alex to do a "big sister chat" — the kind of honest, no-filter conversation that most of us never got growing up. They cover a lot of ground: tampon embarrassment, the myth of mutual orgasm, see-through yoga pants etiquette, and what not to do when you’ve been ghosted. Plenty of it is funny. All of it would have saved them a lot of confusion and heartache if they'd heard it earlier. This conversation is for your younger self…or for the younger people in your life who could use it now.What you'll learn:What mainstream porn consistently gets wrong about bodies, orgasms, and what sex is supposed to look likeWhy so many people think their genitals look “weird” (even though there’s such a wide range of normal and healthy)Why it's harder to receive than to give, and what that has to do with asking for what you want in bedThe difference between really liking someone and liking that they like you (...this lesson took us longer to learn than we'd care to admit)Tune in if you've ever thought:"I genuinely thought something was wrong with my body.""I've always just gone along with things, even when I didn't really want to.""I learned more about sex from TV than from any actual conversation."Helpful resourcesFind a pelvic floor PT near you: pelvicrehab.com or Pelvic Global DirectoryParents in Love: A Guide to Great Sex After Kids by Dr. Rebecca Howard EudyIf this episode hit home, we'd appreciate it if you left us a rating, shared it with someone who also needs to hear it, and followed us for future episodes.
