PERIODS & PLEASURE PODCAST
IS NOW LIVE!
VULVA ART & BODY DIVERSITY
WITH LYDIA REEVES
This episode is a conversation with Lydia Reeves and is one that I have been unbelievably excited about because the work that I did with her as a body casting artist is what led to setting up Periods and Pleasure...
Lydia has worked as a body casting artist for almost seven years now and has seen hundreds of bums, boobs and body parts. Her work started with vulva casting and she is currently working on an incredible new book and exhibition to celebrate body diversity in its entirety. I can't wait for you to hear this one!
THE ELUSIVE CLITORIS
Content Warning:
This episode discusses themes of female genital mutilation (FGM).
This episode explores the elusive clitoris from the myths and legends to a brief history and the more scientific anatomy. After a brief mention in some of the previous episodes, it is time for the clitoris to sing its own song.
MEN & THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE
This is a super special episode where I invited my partner, Garry, to come for a chat about how understanding my menstrual cycle has not only improved my life but has also massively improved our relationship. We speak about the education for people who don't have a menstrual cycle and what Garry has learned through my understanding of my own cycle and body. This is one to pass on to all of the men, and people who don't menstruate, in your life.
LAURA’S STORY
Laura is the founder of Periods & Pleasure and this is her story.
HER NAME IS VULVA
Content Warning:
This episode discusses themes of sexual abuse.
This episode explores the names we give to the vulva and the misinterpretation of the word vagina. It explores anatomy and the importance of using the correct terminology as well as labia and vulva diversity.
WHY AREN’T WE TAUGHT THIS?
This episode delves into sex education, or lack of, in England and Scotland and why Periods & Pleasure came to be created. 'Why aren't we taught this?' is a question I hear myself asking again and again... and again. I speak about everything I didn't get taught, and everything I wish I had been, as well as my hopes for the improvement of sex education in the future.
