    Lesson 011: Chill... It's Just Blood - Understanding the Menstrual Cycle (Pt. 1)

    In this lesson, we break down the menstrual cycle in clear, simple biology. We walk through what the cycle is, why bleeding happens, how hormones shift across each phase, and what cramps actually are. We also talk about what period blood is made of, what different blood colors can mean, and why symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, and cravings show up for so many people. Then we head into our Biology Lab and test a period cramp simulator on Asa. We compare what the simulator feels like at different levels, talk honestly about how disruptive cramps can be in daily life, and reflect on why menstrual pain is so often minimized. If you have ever felt confused, dismissed, or embarrassed about periods, we are here to make it make sense and make it easier to talk about. - Part two continues the lesson with the cultural side of menstruation, plus a true or false quiz that brings it all together.

    Lesson 011: How to Be a Man - Masculinity and the Manosphere (Pt.2)

    In Part 2 of this A Broad Sex Education special, we shift from systems to people. This episode focuses on communication, vulnerability, and community building as real alternatives to the isolation and anger many men are taught to live with. Through an open conversation, we reflect on how masculinity is learned, how emotional expression is discouraged, and what happens when men are never given space to be fully human. We talk about: How masculinity is absorbed through media, family, and early socializationEmotional expression and why it is often punished in boys and menThe negative consequences of rigid masculinity on men and their relationshipsHow loneliness and lack of role models leave men vulnerable to harmful communitiesWhat healthy community building actually looks like in practiceWhy connection, not dominance, is the skill most men are missing This episode is about compassion without excusing harm, accountability without shame, and choosing reflection over blame. Content note: This episode includes discussions of masculinity, loneliness, online radicalization, suicide, homophobia, and violence against women. Please listen with care. This is Part 2, released consecutively following Part 1 as part of our updated release schedule. Want to follow along with this lesson? View the full presentation here.

    Lesson 011: How to Be a Man - Masculinity and the Manosphere (Pt. 1)

    What does it actually mean to be a man, and who taught us that? In Part 1 of this A Broad Sex Education lesson, we explore the social, economic, and psychological systems that shape modern masculinity. From rigid gender scripts and emotional suppression to the rise of the manosphere and online radicalization, this episode examines how many men are taught to navigate the world and how those lessons can quietly work against them. Together, we discuss: The social rules boys are taught about strength, emotion, and worthHow masculinity is enforced through shame, dominance, and isolationThe pressure to be a provider in an increasingly difficult economyHow loneliness and emotional compression make men vulnerable onlineThe rise of incel culture and red pill ideologyHow male pain is monetized and turned into content This conversation is rooted in compassion without excusing harm. Our goal is to understand the systems that produce male disconnection and why so many men are searching for belonging in the wrong places. ⚠️ Content note: This episode discusses masculinity, loneliness, online radicalization, misogyny, suicide, and violence against women. Please listen with care. 📚 Part 2 will be released next week (not two weeks) as part of our new release schedule. Any episode released in parts will now be consecutive. 🤔 Curious about something we covered-or something we haven't yet?

    Lesson 010: Libido, Desire, & Attraction Explained

    Welcome back to the second semester of A Broad Sex Education 🎓 We’re kicking things off with a foundational lesson on libido, desire, and sexual attraction, three words we use interchangeably even though they mean very different things. In this lesson, we’re breaking down: What libido actually is and what it is notWhy desire does not always show up spontaneouslyHow bodies, stress, sleep, and mental health influence wanting sexHow social rules and double standards shape how desire gets judged We look at desire through four lenses: language, psychology, health, and sociology to unpack why so many people feel confused, broken, or “behind” when it comes to wanting sex. Spoiler: it is not your body. It is the stories we were taught. By the end of this lesson, you will have clearer language, less shame, and a better understanding of how desire actually works, plus a quick pop quiz to tie it all together. Class is back in session. - Want to follow along with this lesson? View the full presentation here. Curious about something we covered-or something we haven't yet?

    Lesson 008: Behind Closed Doors - Inappropriate Scandals that Shaped American Politics (Pt. 2)

    Welcome to Part 2 of Behind Closed Doors, where we pick up right where we left off and step into some of the most defining political scandals of the modern era. In this lesson, we explore how public controversies have shaped American politics, shaken institutions, influenced voter behavior, and rewritten the way we talk about power, accountability, and credibility. This episode covers: ⟡ Clinton & Lewinsky — Power, politics, betrayal, and the investigation that reshaped the presidencyChristine Blasey Ford & Brett Kavanaugh — Credibility politics, public testimony, and a Senate that repeated its own historyWhy Scandals Influence Elections — How emotion, bias, and media narratives shape voter perception more than policy ever does“Who Said It?” Pop Quiz — Match the quote to the scandal and test what you learned from both lessons We also include a note on the Current Events section: we skipped the Epstein/Trump files in this lesson because the topic deserves its own full episode in the future. This lesson builds on the themes from Part 1 — power, consent, accountability, gender dynamics, and how public controversy rewrites political history — and brings them into the contemporary landscape. - Curious about something we covered-or something we haven't yet?

    Behind Closed Doors - Inappropriate American Political Scandals (Lesson 8, Pt. 1)

    In Lesson 008: Part 1, we open the door to some of America’s most inappropriate and influential political scandals… and reveal how they shaped history far more than the textbooks ever admitted. From Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings to the Reynolds Pamphlet, from Grover Cleveland’s cover-up to Gary Hart’s “follow me around” challenge, and finally the groundbreaking testimony of Anita Hill, this episode examines the intersections of sex, power, consent, race, media, and political fallout. We examine how these scandals influenced politics and how our institutions protected powerful men for generations while holding women responsible for the fallout.

    Lesson 007: First Times & Family Ties: A Deeper Look at Virginity and Marriage

    Join us as we take a look at how virginity and marriage became two of history’s most powerful myths. In this episode of A Broad Sex Education, we trace the origins of purity culture- from ancient marriage contracts and blood-stained sheets to modern body-count debates and purity pledges. It's part history, part sociology, and all about unlearning the lesson that purity needs to be proven. ✏️ Listener Note:This podcast is a sex education resource intended for an adult audience. This episode mentions sexual violence, purity testing, and gender-based discrimination.
