Today on the show, I answer questions about how to talk to a potential partner when you're sexually inexperienced, how menopause affects your sex drive, and how Covid-19 might just help us talk more openly about STIs. I also chat with the lovely hosts of The Rag Podcast, Jenny and Krystal, about menstruation, menstrual equity, and making things that seem spooky just a little less spooky (yeah, we're talking about sex).
