Pleasure is not a luxury. It’s part of health care.

What if pleasure wasn’t mysterious, shameful, or something women were expected to “figure out on their own”?

In this episode of You Are Not Broken, Dr. Kelly Casperson is joined by Lara Pack to talk about the launch of their new vibrator, Explorer—and more importantly, the science, safety, and education behind it.

It’s a grounded, evidence-based conversation about female arousal, blood flow, anatomy, consent, and why most women were never taught how their bodies actually work. Kelly and Lara walk listeners through why Explorer was designed the way it was, what makes a vibrator safe (and unsafe), and how pleasure tools can support—not replace—intimacy, connection, and sexual health.

They also tackle common myths around vibrators, including fears about dependency, partner insecurity, and “doing it wrong,” while reframing pleasure as a learnable, normal, and empowering part of healthcare.

If you’ve ever felt confused, embarrassed, or under-educated about pleasure—or wondered how to talk about it with a partner—this episode is for you.

What We Cover

  • Why Explorer was designed for external pleasure—no penetration required

  • The role of blood flow and arousal in sexual comfort, desire, and response

  • Why consent matters in every relationship, no matter how long you’ve been together

  • How vibrators can support sexual health, healing, and confidence

  • The importance of anatomical accuracy and comfort in vibrator design

  • How to talk with a partner about using pleasure tools without shame or defensiveness

  • Why vibrators are not a “replacement” for partners—but a supplement to connection

  • Safety, materials, and why quality matters when it comes to intimate products

  • How sex education gaps leave women blaming themselves instead of the system

  • Why sexual wellness is a lifelong learning process—not something you’re born knowing

    Key Takeaway

    Pleasure isn’t frivolous.

    It’s physiological.
    It’s learnable.
    And it belongs to you.
