#156 The Point Is F*ckin feat. j'naii
We face our fears and talk about sex on the podcast with our friend j’naii. Nobody had any fun and we totally didn’t laugh at inappropriate moments. Topics include purity culture, masturbation, sex and eating disorders, shame, projection, and more that Christina can’t remember.
CONTENT WARNING: This episode mentions sexual assault, including assault on a child. We don’t dwell on it long and avoid details.

Customer Reviews
Great pod!
Really love this pod. Always thoughtful and funny and totally relatable!
Love it!
New to this pod and loving listening to the backlog, such a good listen!
Keeping it real!
Pickles and Vodka podcast is genuine and helps everyday people dive into mental health issues, some surface- some not-so obvious. The host, Christina, is such an excellent podcaster and asks her guests (and followers) fantastic questions that deal with stuff we might otherwise not know or ignore. This is one of the best podcasts out there!
