DeepSummary
Dr. Emily Morse kicks off the episode by introducing Masturbation May, a celebration of self-love and pleasure. She provides a brief history of how the event started in 1995 after former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders was fired for suggesting masturbation be taught in schools to reduce STIs and teen pregnancy. Emily then delves into the numerous health benefits of masturbation, including stress relief, improved sleep, reduced menstrual cramps, and increased self-esteem.
Emily answers several listener questions, such as how to have orgasms during sex when relying too much on vibrators, overcoming religious shame surrounding masturbation, and determining if one is masturbating too frequently. She emphasizes the importance of exploring one's body through masturbation to understand personal pleasure and communicate desires to partners.
The episode concludes with Emily recommending various sex toys and lubes to enhance masturbation, including external vibrators like the Jeju Mimi, G-spot toys, masturbation sleeves for penises, and cock rings like the Mio by Jeju. She encourages listeners to experiment with different sensations and move beyond just using hands to discover new paths to orgasm.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “I realized once again to myself that I hadn't masturbated a few days, even though I'm surrounded by sex toys and, you know, all things. So then I decided last night I wasn't feeling great. Had one. I'm telling you, I had an orgasm on my own. Wasn't a whole to do. Didn't take a lot of time, didn't have to. I just was like, I'm going to knock this out. And I forget even myself. It allowed me to relieve stress. I slept better. And it just boosts your mood, and you're feeling pleasure.“ by Doctor Emily Morse

That if we are not sexually healthy, that we have negative conditioning around sex, we're not going to be able to show up in a healthy way in our relationships.“ by Doctor Emily Morse
