Sex is meant to be noisy, messy, and most of all, FUN!   People use sex toys and lubes to help enhance their pleasure yet have no idea that what they’re using could completely destroy their sexual health and make sex anything BUT fun.    From toys made of jelly to lubes with propylene glycol, most people don’t have a clue that what they’re putting in and around their most sensitive body parts (and even taking orally) could be contributing to things like:   Thrush Itching  Bacterial infections Painful sex Irritation Dryness    Even reaching orgasm can become downright impossible!   Sam Evans, co-founder of Jo Divine, a skin-safe and irritant-free sex toy company, is on the podcast today, giving us the juicy lowdown on sex toys, lubes, and how to have more pleasurable sex (especially after menopause).   A sexual health & pleasure expert, Sam has been featured all over radio, TV, and the press. With a professional background in nursing, Sam also advises women going through natural menopause, or due to medical or surgical treatment and post-cancer treatment, about ways to enjoy better sexual intimacy and pleasure.   She shares how she and her husband started Jo Divine and why it’s crucial for us to pay close attention to what our sex toys and lubes are made of!   She also talks about common ingredients to avoid (including one found in antifreeze that is in MANY popular lubricants), why you should be moisturizing your vagina, and so much more!   She’s even graciously extended a 10% discount for my followers, good for anything in her sex toy shop!   CODE: SCULPTEDVEGAN  (Expires Mar 16, 2022.
