    Season 2 Ep 8: Body Grooming

    Body Grooming... Welcome to Season 2 Episode 8, the final episode of the season! Let's be real about body hair, right? Humans are animals, animals have hair.  It's natural and healthy. But our bodies are also like material that can be molded, meaning we can totally change HOW our hair looks. Considering that grooming can often be accompanied by pain - why do we do this?? For some folks it is about perceptions of what beauty is. For some it is about perceptions about hygiene.  For some it could be a combination, or a perception about what is "cool" or "socially acceptable" regardless of their personal feelings.  Mojo, Pixie and Cherry are back to create safe space to chat about all things body hair related. We get candid about why we feel the need to do or not do certain types of grooming: waxing, threading, shaving, trimming. We get into all the happy hairy crevices too: eyebrows, upper lips, beards, underarms, g******s, arms, legs, you name it! So fun to reminisce about how us humans get started on this journey of grooming, and what drives our likes and dislikes, and how that interplays with other humans who have opinions one way or the other.  Question: What's the part of body you don't understand why people groom?

    Season 2 Ep 7: Do You Have A Type?

    Do You Have A Type?... Welcome to Season 2 Episode 7! We've all been this person, right? Picture the scene. You are out with friends where someone will point to a stranger and say, "whoa, that person's hot!" Or good looking. Or sexy. Or cute. Or well-groomed. Or muscular. Or voluptuous.... At that point, another friend might go, "Nope, that's not doing anything for me."  We've been there. These experiences start to come together and we realise, oh wait, I have a type!  In this episode, the Unbuttoned India trio dive right in to this question of what type of factors make humans attractive to us! Join us to hear about our many different "needs". ;-) There are specific physical features that we discuss that may surprise you.  There are behavioural needs that are sometimes just as or more important in getting us to say AWWWWYEAH. We explore the idea of preference, and wonder about prejudice, and things in between.  Question: Do you have any "type" that you are simply not attracted to? Why do you think that is?

    Season 2 Ep 6: Exploring My Sexuality

    Exploring My Sexuality... Welcome to Season 2 Episode 6! When did you know you were sexually attracted to a human? Perhaps a particular set of humans? Some realise they are attracted to the opposite sex, some to the same sex, some to all, and some to none at all! The Unbuttoned India trio of Mojo, Pixie and Cherry revisit their oldest memories and ongoing experiences to piece together a story of how each became aware of their sexuality. We make pit stops at all-girls convent schools, love letters, best friend crushes, 90s indian movies, porn tales....and other anecdotes that made us laugh and sigh.  Swapping tales helps remind us that every single human goes through a similar journey of doubt, exploration and exhilaration! Join us in a quest to question the origins of romantic fantasies and deeply ingrained social conditioning about what is "normal."  This episode's Did-You-Know section gets into some of the terms and descriptive labels used in the episode, with quick introductions by Cherry on Asexuality, Pixie on Bisexuality and Mojo on Pansexuality.  Idea: Sex is not just about reproduction and procreation. Humans engage in sex for pleasure full stop! Go ahead and look up "all animals that have sex for pleasure" - prepare to be pleasantly surprised.  About Unbuttoned India: Three friends meet weekly to talk about sex, sexuality and intimacy in urban India.

    Season 2 Ep 5: Body Image

    Body Image... Welcome to Season 2 Episode 5! This week Pixie, Mojo and Cherry pay a visit to our physical bodies.  We talk about experiences in our childhood and current life that have (literally and figuratively) shaped our bodies. Who and what has had a say in how we perceive ourselves? What shifts and transformations have we undergone over time? Hitch a ride with us as we visit classic body image hot-spots like store changing rooms, weddings, schools, gyms, movies....our own internal minds. We arrive at Memory Lane that is lined with anecdotes about complexion, skin, body shape, body size, smells, and in sharing openly we find understanding in each other about the under confidence, the anger, the shame, the reflections and the liberation.  In Did-You-Know, tune in for some very interesting surveys about male body image and cosmetic surgery. We also tell you about the fabulously body-positive podcast called Fat.So? Go check them out! Idea: Have you tried daily affirmations? Where you look in the mirror and say out loud "I love you. I love all of you. Yes, YOU!" About Unbuttoned India: Three friends meet weekly to talk about sex, sexuality and intimacy in urban India.

    Season 2 Ep 4: Oh for Orgasm

    Oh For Orgasm... Welcome to Season 2 Episode 4! This week we get each other off. And by that we mean, you know, off on orgasm stories! Pixie, Mojo and Cherry traverse the contours of the body and mind to understand each other's oh-yeahhhh and oh-mehhh moments when it comes to sexual excitation and that Big O. What does it take for us to reach an orgasm? Some like it hot, we hear.  Some like it textured with gentle ribbing. Stop - wait a minute (here's my cup, put some liquor in it) .....what IS an orgasm? We unpack the basics for ourselves so that we may ponder the tales of multiple orgasms, faking orgasms, the nature of ejaculation in men and woman, and saying COME ON to "cumming together".  We all have moments of moaning outwardly or inwardly when we orgasm. We all have moments of mourning outwardly or inwardly when they fail to come. Tune in to hear us say O My!  After all, we are in this together. #thatswhathesaid  Question: Have you ever "cum together" with someone? Or come close? :-P About Unbuttoned India: Three friends meet weekly to talk about sex, sexuality and intimacy in urban India.

    Libido and Love - A Lockdown Special. Welcome to Season 2 Episode 2! The nation-wide lockdown here in India has translated to a long spell of home-bound isolation. As a result, we are all experiencing a significant shift in how our body and our minds are being engaged with the outer and inner worlds.  Mojo, Pixie and Cherry decided to get on an impromptu lockdown special episode to chat about how this new normal is affecting sexual desire and our relationships with ourselves and others.  In this episode we unbutton stories on how we navigate the spectrum of sometimes "not feeling it" and "feeling strain and stress" to placing importance on self love and expression. Tune in to hear the trio share their ideas for activities that bring focus to the self ...all in aid of strengthening the connection with others, sexually or otherwise!

    Season 2 Ep 1: Getting Sexy in Public Spaces

    Getting Sexy in Public Spaces. Welcome to Season 2 Episode 1! Are you getting jiggy with the g******s in a general and ginormous jagah? Join us, gentle listener, as we kickstart this brand new season with a jaunt to those public spaces that raise the bar and the heart rate when it comes to getting sexy with another human.  Mojo takes us from Bali to Barcelona, and gets us excited about "cruising" and elevator stories.  Cherry can't contain her wild sounds as she shares her enthusiasm for making our mark in this world - with our bodies. Pixie regales us with tales on getting down and getting busy in natural habitats and urban ubers.   ... and those are just teasers! Tune in for more as we unbutton ourselves and blow open (ahem) our thoughts on the sense of danger, the forbidden, safety, trust, intimacy, and most of all exploring our boundaries. Private and public. S2E1's Did-You-Know segment touches on India laws on PDA, how Indians are becoming bolder, and ideas for spaces that bold indians may want to add to their fucket list.   Again, for those at the back: Getting jiggy with the g******s in a generally ginormous jagah! Say this fast five times - out loud. Get out, get loud. About Unbuttoned India: Three friends meet weekly to talk about sex, sexuality and intimacy in urban India.
