08/29/19 • 28 min

🤙BRING ON THE GOOD VIBRATIONS 🤙 Have you ever masturbated? We know men do it.... We know women do it too, except we don’t talk openly about it. Why? Are we ashamed to admit that we have sexual desires? On this second episode of Something Private, Dr Angela Tan, a certified sexpert joins me to talk about why some women feel ashamed for masturbating and why that needs to change! Beyond just achieving simple orgasmic pleasure, we discuss how masturbating can have mental and physical benefits too.

Shoutout to my sisters who are lying in bed, crouched in a fetal position - menstrual cramps are the worst and if you feel like death whenever it's 'that time of the month’, I feel you and I want you to know that there are ways to remedy it besides eating painkillers. Let me and my co-host Hanli Hoefer share our bloody personal stories of menstruation with you. We’ll also sprinkle some ~ SCIENCE ~ behind why we have cramps, ways to relieve it and when it’s necessary to visit the doctor. Grab some wine and cheese, and tune in.
