    Ep. 117 | Is it Normal to Cry After Sex?

    Happy Valentine’s Day, MSE Friends! On this week’s episode, we are talking about if it is normal to cry after sex! If everyone is having fun, and maybe you’ve had an orgasm or two, why do you want to cry? Well, Lulu and Laura discuss how different kinds of sex may play a role, how sex can be a healing activity, and why crying after sex is a common and normal experience for many people. We suggest communicating with your partner about why you’re crying and how to provide reassurance that you are actually having a good time! *** Reddit Story: https://www.reddit.com/r/sexadvice/s/vsgARVmazF Interested in sharing your experiences?

    Ep. 116 | Where do you finish after sex?

    On this week’s episode, we are talking about where to finish after sex! This can be a bit of an awkward conversation to have with your partner(s) and Lulu and Laura are here to help. We suggest making sure to talk about your boundaries before you hit the big finish! Conversations like this can feel weird, but the more you talk about these issues with your partner, the less chance there is for miscommunication, violated boundaries, and just plain bad sex. *** Interested in sharing your experiences?
