Sex with August McLaughlin

from Don't Make It Worse · host Makenzie Mizell

Episode 1: August McLaughlin turns “What is sex?” into the episode’s most complicated question. Makenzie sits down with August to unpack pleasure, purity culture, and the masturbation experience that made her realize her sexuality didn’t depend on anyone else. From Mormon loopholes to porn moves nobody actually wanted, the conversation ends with a simple challenge: look at what you learned about sex, and what nobody ever taught you.RESOURCES:Planned Parenthood: https://weareplannedparenthoodaction.orgScarleteen: https://scarleteen.comAUGUST:IG: https://instagram.com/augustmclaughlinWebsite: https://augustmclaughlin.comGirl Boner Radio: https://augustmclaughlin.com/podcastMAK:TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@makenziemizellIG: https://instagram.com/makenziemizellPatreon: https://patreon.com/makenziemizellWebsite: https://makenziemizell.comCHAPTERS:00:00 - Intro00:43 - What is sex?03:40 - Sexual Pleasure05:22 - Performance Culture08:05 - August’s Story 09:53 - Personal Discovery13:43 - Sexual Shame15:50 - Religious Messages19:50 - Purity Culture23:50 - Ethical Porn26:34 - How to Make It Better28:37 - Where to Find August
