As many of you know, I’m obsessed with communication so it only makes sense that we look at word choice when talking about sex. In this epsiode, I meet with Amanda Montell, linguist and author of Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language, to explore the greater meaning, power, and historical importance of the words we chose to use. Plus, we delve into the origins of gendered slang like ‘vajayjay’ and offer positive alternatives to the current words in our sexual dictionary. In the second half of the episode, I take a few calls and answer questions on how to examine yourself after several failed relationships, increase enjoyment of oral sex, and have fun and safe sex in a noncommitted relationship.
