Episode description

Comprehensive, medically accurate, pleasure-based sex education is something we all need but rarely have access to. Join Dr. Meghna Mahambrey in exploring this topic with Erica Butler, founder of Happ E. Sextalk who has been using her voice to educate her community about sexuality in an open and affirming way. In addition to touching on how sex education can be used to combat health disparities within the black community, Erica sheds light on some of the many things lacking in traditional sex education: accurate portrayals of consent, discussions about self-pleasure, learning how to advocate for your own sexual health, and how outdated standards for sex education persist even in medical school.

Dr. Meghna Mahambrey is the founder of SPARK Relationship + Sexual Wellness, an educational platform with a mission to help singles, couples, and polyamorous partners build happy, healthy love lives.
