Sex. You've probably had it recently, but when's the last time you actually talked about it? Yeah, exactly. That's because most of us got terrible sex ed, and now it feels weird to talk about with the people we care about most.
But it doesn't have to be. I'm DB, seasoned sex educator and host of Sex Ed with DB, bringing you science-backed, medically accurate sex ed that's actually fun to listen to. We're talking orgasms, anal, confidence, kink, testosterone myths, blowjobs, smut, sex research, all of it.

So if you haven't done so, make like critically acclaimed French filmmaker, Michel Gondry and be kind, rewind.
In our last episode of Deadheads, we donned headlamps to explore the dark caves of cognitive dissonance percolating through the hearts and minds of our generation.
It was the way life was, and we thought it was always going to be like that.
As each passing year of adulthood seems to confirm that the dreams of our forebears are not only unrealistic. What we call the college wage premium started to take off around 1980. But likely impossible. What kind of time to be born is this? We met Rachel's family in a place so remote that people tend to mispronounce the name.
They go, Spokane. Spokane. Every time.
Finally, we learned that Rachel was a workaholic. You had two serious jobs in high school? Yeah. I barely went to high school. Then she landed her dream job at PBS. But she also said it was the last full-time job she ever had. And I'm sure the question on everyone's mind is... Why? Because, Jamie, I was bigger than one job. I wanted to do all the jobs. What made you think you could do all the jobs? I don't know. Probably had something to do with this hype song from my youth.
So I found this Barbie commercial online that was the sort of thing you'd hear on a Saturday morning cartoon in the 1980s. Mm-hmm. And listening to it now is like stepping straight into my fourth grade brain.
We can dream dreams and make them come true.
Your mom's know it too. Can you feel the energy of this song? Like, who wouldn't get psyched up from that? Yeah, I know. I mean, I love a hype song. I love a hype song. Like, my Desert Island CD collection would have to include at least one Jock Jams compilation. So this was my first Jock Jam.
Anything is possible as long as we try.
So aspirational. Oh, all the girls in this commercial are doing so many cool things. One is trying to become a professional gymnast. Oh, a baseball player. A fly girl. Then there's the nerd who's like sitting in her room looking into a microscope. I actually had a microscope. Of course you did. It was supposed to get me into science. So fun. Yeah. There was literally nothing but time in the 1980s and I was an only child. So, you know, I was bored. Oh, so is that why you started working at such a young age? Absolutely. First of all, work didn't cost money. It's quite the opposite. But also back then, like, work was fun. You know, I could be social without having to be... social. Do you know what I mean? Like I was kind of an introvert, so I was like, oh, this gives me an in to hang out with people.
Yeah, you're like automatically have to be there, but you don't have to like prove yourself as to why you're there.
