Overshare Mamamia

Hey! We're dropping into your feed to share an awesome episode of Lady Startup with you. 

It's about sex toys. Well except they're not called sex toys anymore. They're called pleasure products. 

Today’s guest, Lara Pack, turned her own painful sexual experiences into a business. After completing the Lady Startup Activation in 2019, Lara founded Elixir Play, with the aim of teaching women more about their bodies and ways to improve their sex lives. 

And the result? Lots of happier, more satisfied women.

But it hasn't all been smooth sailing for Lara, and in this episode she tells Lady Startup founder, Mia Freedman, how she deals with criticism and judgement. 

This episode was brought to you by the MYOB & Smiling Mind Small Business Program. Partnering to make mental health everyone’s business.

Have you ever bought a sex toy? Self confessed speed-orgasm-haver Kel finds sex toys distracting, and Lem and Flex have differing opinions.

Recently Lem was talking to a colleague about salary and it got a little.. awkward. So should you talk about how much you earn with your co workers? Would a workplace with salary transparency be a good idea?

Plus, have you set yourself life goals? A high flying career? A fairytale relationship? Getting to the gym twice a week? Lem, Kel and Flex all set life goals they wanted to achieve before turning 30 but how important are they?

Have you ever booty called someone? Maybe you receive booty calls? Kel, Flex and Lem have been on both sides of the phone line and in this episode, they debate the pros and cons of late night dial. 

Also, Kel asked what you wanted to hear on the show and the resounding answer was Lem’s coming out story. Well Lem obliges, but it’s not 100% what you’d think.

Plus, is there a “right” way to shower? And why are there racial prejudices when it comes to thinking some cultures are more “clean” than others.

Mutual orgasm is the HOLY GRAIL of sex but if it’s so important why is it so damn hard to achieve? Is there a secret to it? Is there no hope of it if a lot of women aren’t turned on by penetration?  Lem has some sage wisdom to help you be a better, more reciprocal lover the next time you’re getting freaky.

Plus can sleeping (just sleeping, no funny stuff) in separate bedrooms be beneficial to your relationship? Kel swears by it, not just because it prevents her from kicking her husband awake when he snores like a rail train, and Flex thinks everyone should do it (if only we could afford to).

And Kel has noticed a woman in her workplace dealing with professional conflict in a ‘bitchy’ way. So, is there a way to handle rejection and disappointment at work without taking it personally? And why can’t we all just get along and promote each other until we run the world damn it!

Hey Oversharers, Lem here! I've been working really hard on a new Mamamia project and I think you're going to love it!

It's called Eligible, and it's a dating podcast all about finding love at first sound.

Each week we feature an eligible single who wants to date women and this is the first episode, featuring Nick, a 26-year-old primary school teacher based on the east coast who is looking for someone who doesn't mind that he's a twin, loves adventures, and wants to have a family one day.  

Here's a bit more about him...

Age: 26

Occupation: Primary school teacher

Top three things he wants from a relationship: Intimacy, fun, holidays

How he describes himself:  Genuine, deep thinking, relaxed, empathetic

Best quality: Kind

Worst quality: Stubborn

What he hopes to get out of this experience: I hope to meet people that have a genuine interest in what they’ve heard about me and are open to a meaningful connection.

If you’d like to get to know Nick better, head to www.mamamia.com.au/eligible, enter the code word you heard in the episode and you'll get access to Nick’s details and photo.

HOW DOES THE SHOW WORK?

Every Friday our host, Rachel Corbett, sits down with an eligible single to have the awkward first date for you so you can get a sense of whether this person is worth your time.  She'll also do the reference checks by calling up a few of the women in the eligible single's life to find out what they're really like.

At the end of each episode, if you like what you hear, we'll give you a secret code you can enter at mamamia.com.au/eligible so you can see what your new love interest looks like and how to contact them. 

The rest is up to cupid!

This episode is brought to you by Fantastic Furniture, the perfect place to find the heart of your home.

Guys, people use fruit to spice up their sex lives. Kelly McCarren is one of those people. And her experience wasn’t… fruitful? So that gets us talking about the most awkward sex fails  experienced (endured) in the bedroom and beyond. we're chatting about the dating ritual that we kinda wish wasn't a thing.

Plus does adulthood symbolise the loss of role models? After all, even the most uber of celebrities and public figures are fallible.. So why do we still look up to strangers who excel in their field. Does it doom us to disappointment? 

And pick up lines SUCK. Have you ever used one that worked? Lem and Flex talk about the racist negging masquerading as a pick-up line they’ve experienced, and how sexy honesty worked for Lem the one time she tried to use a non conventional pick up line. Oh and Kel’s form of wing-woman-ship involves falling on people. You’ll need some context for that one. So listen now!
