    Self-Pleasure: with Ruby Rare and Nelly London

    This episode is all about self-pleasure as a form of self-love. With help from sexpert Ruby Rare and and body acceptance influencer Nelly London we cover everything from the new “smart” sex toys (that can measure sexual pleasure and/or be operated remotely) to classic vibrators (both as masturbation tools and relationship toys), as well as empowering you to feel free to love yourself with no judgement or shame with help from. Please do remember to clean your sex toys properly both before and after using them, and that STIs can be transmitted via shared sex toys. You can avoid STIs by covering penetrative sex toys, such as vibrators, with a new condom each time they’re used, not sharing sex toys and having a different set of sex toys for each partner. *Report mentioned in intro from Flo Health.  Use code SWB10 to save 10% across selected sexual wellbeing* *Online only.

Together we dismantle the barriers that keep us from understanding and supporting one another through love's tumultuous journey.
