Sex and dating in your 60s and 70s? You better believe it! This week, we talk to our Vagina Bestie, Deb. She shares all about her journey navigating sex and dating in her 60s. There's something for everyone in this episode - regardless of age or gender. From dancing in the kitchen to not wasting a good erection, this hour is full of humor and sage advice. You won't want to miss this one!
And why can't Jennie pronounce it? This week, we’re talking pain with intercourse (that's what Dyspareunia means, besties). Like everything else involving our uterus, the causes are varied. Most of the time, the solution is usually the same and an easy fix (hint: it’s Abby’s favorite word). Other times, we have to get our OBGYN involved. Join us as we explore the many causes of Dyspareunia. And remember these wise words: Stay moist, besties!
This week, we're joined by our Vagina Bestie, Flo. She started her menopause journey last year. Flo takes us through hot flashes, advice from other sage besties who have been there/done that, and talks about your relationship on menopause. Let's hear it for HRT! Which may not be on your path, bestie. Each of us has a different journey through it, but the most important thing is Abby's favorite word: COMMUNICATION! (You thought we were going to say moist, didn't you?) Communication with your significant other, communication with your female relatives, communication with your besties. This isn't a journey we take alone. We follow the women before us, we walk with women beside us, and we leave our trails behind us to guide others. We've totally got this, besties! Stronger together!
Your Vagina Besties are back! We're kicking off Season Three with Phonying (totally a word) It In. This episode, we cover faking orgasms. Have you ever? You aren't alone! Fish fake it too. (We're Librarians so we're full of weird facts like fake fish orgasms). When it comes to humans, as many as 67% of women fake orgasms occasionally (while only 20% of their partners felt their wives/girlfriends might have faked it...awkward). Even 28% of men faked it themselves (okay, but how?)! We've got your statistics, the whys, and whether or not it's okay to phony it in, like ever. Abby and Jennie may fake their own orgasms every so often, but they'll never fake it with you, besties!
This week we are joined by Megan-Marie Pearson, Founder and Executive Director of PCOS Awareness Association. One of the biggest reasons we started this podcast was to get people talking about our vaginas and vagina related issues. Is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome vagina related? Megan-Marie Pearson has all your answers including the struggle to get diagnosis, to acquire funding for research, and to spread awareness about this disease with it's wide ranging symptoms. Whether you've been diagnosed with it, suspect you have, or know someone who does, this podcast episode is for you! And, because it's us, we find a few laughs along the way.
This week, we talk all about the dreaded QUEEF! That embarrassing noise that happens when air that crept into our vag gets expelled. Usually it happens at the worst possible moment - during sexy time! But it can also happen during exercise. Or, according to one listener, when they stood up to give their presentation at the company meeting! Abby tallies hers. Jennie keeps a Queef Journal. Is Queef a medical term? Is Chronic Queefing a diagnosis? Your besties have you covered for all your Queef answers. Moistly, they just want you to know that queefing is normal. We can't control and we don't need to excuse it. Laugh that shit off and keep going!
This week, Jennie shares the things she's come across while researching vaginas for the podcast. Because if she has to read them, you all should have to hear them. We'll talk everything from marijuana tampons to lab grown vagina implants (science WUT?). We'll let you know whether it's better to use mayo, a glitter bomb, or Listerine on your vag. And we'll even answer the age old question, which is worse to fish out of your mouth: a hair, glitter, or a piece of yarn? Come laugh with us (and cringe a little too) as we take through a normal week on Jennie's search engine.
This week, your Vagina Besties cover all things Fibroid. We'll go over symptoms (heavy menstrual bleeding FTW), causes (doctors don't know the causes), risk factors (few known other than being a woman of reproductive age), and prevention (don't have a uterus). Let's face it, we'd know more about these if they grew on the tips of peniseseses (Abby swears that's how you say penis plural).
Using our superior librarian research skills, we've got you covered (not in fibroids, ouch!), Besties. And we even name Jennie's 3 centimeter fibroid. Lumpy Uteruses unite!
Join your Vagina Besties for a game of Would You Rather: Vagina Edition! Abby and Jennie debate hard life questions like: Would you rather text a nude selfie to your boss or your parents? Fart every time you walk or every time you orgasm? Never have sex again or never have the internet again? Come laugh with them and find out which you'd rather. (We promise not to judge your answers!)
Your Vagina Besties take you through some Spooky legends in celebration of Halloween. Why is Jenny screaming? What color does the White Lady of Union Cemetery wear when she haunts? What's the story behind Bloody Mary (and why can't Abby remember that you're supposed to turn in a circle when you summon her)? Jennie also covers the Slit-Mouthed Woman and La Llorona. Abby weaves a few of her own, including The Covid Coochie.
We know this one is a few days late - we wanted it to be like your period!
This week, we Just Ask Abby...some more questions! When does a booty call turn toxic? What do you do when your boyfriend won't stop buying things you can't afford? Should you leave when your love has become merely transactional? How much smutty erotica reading is too much smutty erotica reading? Abby's got your answers and Jennie's got you covered with tips on how to make online dating more awkward. That's not a typo. You know Jennie, she's not going to make anything less anything.
Today, your Vagina Besties are talking with Tom Banter, producer of erotic audio. Phoenix opened the door for us a few weeks ago with her magic wand and Tom is escorting us through the dimly lit hallways of NSFW (Not Safe For Work) audio fantasies. One of the top content providers in his genre, he was kind enough to carve out a little over an hour from his very hectic schedule to answer all of Jennie and Abby's (but mostly Jennie's) questions. How much time does he spend working on an average day? What is his process like? And can he get Abby to do her homework? You won't want to miss this episode.
You can find more of Tom Banter on his website: tombanter.com
You can also find him on YouTube, Siren, and Reddit Gone Wild Audio. See our Facebook page for links.
The Mapuche say "A woman of striking appearance has a biting vagina." For a lot of men, there is nothing scarier than a vagina. Imagine adding teeth to it! Well, several cultures did and your Vagina Besties are here to tell those tales. In some, the woman is the hero (knocking them out with her iron phallus that is still worshipped to this day!). But in far too many others, the men are the heroes for conquering our vaginas and knocking out those teeth. Join us for the Legend of the Toothed Vagina.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Vagina Besties (though it's every month for survivors). Join us as we listen to Sarah's Breast Cancer journey. She takes us through the horrifying beginning when they told her it wasn't cancer to diagnosis of 3B. She'll explain which type of Breast Cancer she had, her treatment and the long road to recovery. Sarah is a bad ass with a voice like sugar spun cotton candy. She's also a sage, full of wisdom and advice for all of us.
This week we pay tribute to the Ultimate Vagina Bestie, the Notorious RBG. Unable to get hired by a New York Law Firm after graduating from Columbia, she ended her career as the 2nd female judge on the Supreme Court. Jennie takes us through her landmark cases leading up to being appointed by President Bill Clinton and confirmed 96-3. This episode is safe for the whole family. An abridged version of what made Ruth Bader Ginsburg so important to equal rights in this country.
This week your Vagina Besties wrap up their series on Birth Control with Male Contraceptives! Who wants to use a condom when you can sit in a tub of boiling water? Okay, it's not actually boiling, but it's 118 degrees so those little swimmers feel like they're boiling. Or they actually boil. We're not really sure on how it works, just that it does. If you don't want to go to that extreme, you're going to have to wait on the pill, the gel, or the shot. Unlike the side effects women put up with, it turns out men can't be expected to suffer through a headache, or mood swings, or weight gain so it's back to the drawing board until we can find something their fragile bodies can withstand. Actually, it's much more complicated than that. Listen, laugh, and learn all about where we're at with Male Contraceptives.
As we head back to school with our kids, whatever school looks like for you this year, Jennie decided to teach her own virtual class. Virtual vagina class. This one is better than a sale at Kohl's. Well, less expensive, less crowded, and no screaming toddlers anyway. We promise you'll laugh.
This week your Vagina Besties bring you a Blame It On the Vag tale. They rocket into the true crime story of Lisa Nowak aka The Sad Astronaut. For those of you needing a bit of a memory jog, she's the woman who became known for wearing space diapers so she didn't have to stop and pee on her way from Houston to Orlando to confront her ex-lover's new girlfriend. Unbeatable protection so you can beat the competition. From her NASA diaper to the magic trench coat that held all her kidnapping supplies, Jennie and Abby take you through the ultimate My Vagina Made Me Do It.
This week, your Vagina Besties talk more about YOUR vaginas than theirs (we know, it's a vagina miracle!). You asked your questions and Abby had your answers. Ever wondered if squirting is peeing? Or whether women can feel when a man ejaculates inside them? How about it circumcised or uncircumcised is better for health and pleasure? Like any best bestie, Abby's got you covered! She also shares what she likes when she's feeling a little "kinky" and claims Jennie will drink a gallon of...well, you should just listen. Unless your name is Linda or Susan. Moms, you're going to want to skip this one.
