Blame It On the Vag Jennie and Abby

Sex and dating in your 60s and 70s? You better believe it! This week, we talk to our Vagina Bestie, Deb. She shares all about her journey navigating sex and dating in her 60s. There's something for everyone in this episode - regardless of age or gender. From dancing in the kitchen to not wasting a good erection, this hour is full of humor and sage advice. You won't want to miss this one!

Did you know a stork isn't the only way to get a baby?! (And that babies are probably the only thing you can't get from Amazon). In this week's episode, Abby's real life bestie, Jennie Mae, shares her journey with us. From serving a date notice she was embarking on the path to parenthood (spoiler alert: he jumped on board and they're still together!) through a myriad of fertility treatments, she takes us through each painstaking step with honesty and humor. Thanks to an egg donor, Jennie Mae will be delivering her bundle in a few short weeks. Abby can hardly wait to hold her (and to slap a MOIST sticker on her minivan window in celebration...what? You'll just have to listen!)

And why can't Jennie pronounce it? This week, we’re talking pain with intercourse (that's what Dyspareunia means, besties). Like everything else involving our uterus, the causes are varied. Most of the time, the solution is usually the same and an easy fix (hint: it’s Abby’s favorite word). Other times, we have to get our OBGYN involved. Join us as we explore the many causes of Dyspareunia. And remember these wise words: Stay moist, besties!

This week, we're joined by our Vagina Bestie, Flo. She started her menopause journey last year. Flo takes us through hot flashes, advice from other sage besties who have been there/done that, and talks about your relationship on menopause. Let's hear it for HRT! Which may not be on your path, bestie. Each of us has a different journey through it, but the most important thing is Abby's favorite word: COMMUNICATION! (You thought we were going to say moist, didn't you?) Communication with your significant other, communication with your female relatives, communication with your besties. This isn't a journey we take alone. We follow the women before us, we walk with women beside us, and we leave our trails behind us to guide others. We've totally got this, besties! Stronger together!

Your Vagina Besties are back! We're kicking off Season Three with Phonying (totally a word) It In. This episode, we cover faking orgasms. Have you ever? You aren't alone! Fish fake it too. (We're Librarians so we're full of weird facts like fake fish orgasms). When it comes to humans, as many as 67% of women fake orgasms occasionally (while only 20% of their partners felt their wives/girlfriends might have faked it...awkward). Even 28% of men faked it themselves (okay, but how?)! We've got your statistics, the whys, and whether or not it's okay to phony it in, like ever. Abby and Jennie may fake their own orgasms every so often, but they'll never fake it with you, besties!

This week we are joined by Megan-Marie Pearson, Founder and Executive Director of PCOS Awareness Association. One of the biggest reasons we started this podcast was to get people talking about our vaginas and vagina related issues. Is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome vagina related? Megan-Marie Pearson has all your answers including the struggle to get diagnosis, to acquire funding for research, and to spread awareness about this disease with it's wide ranging symptoms. Whether you've been diagnosed with it, suspect you have, or know someone who does, this podcast episode is for you! And, because it's us, we find a few laughs along the way.
