CumQueens

We learn some very surprising information about our sexy mouths. We talk about first kisses, weird kisses, wet kisses, and after-oral kisses. We learn about what partners share after swapping their mouth fluids. We find out how to work that tongue out for maximum pleasure. We give some updates from our previous episode on tear gas and discuss how the pandemic has increased the need for mouth-safety.

See the strange Desus and Mero wolf-mouth video here:

The CumQueens discuss various instances of police brutality against protesters during the Black Lives Matter protests that have gripped the world. The local police forces around the nation are using military weapons against civilians during peaceful protests. Charlotte and Grace discuss the dangerous conditions the police have created for protestors and how white allies can show up and support the BLM movement without centering themselves.

Thema

Racism and white supremacy are a huge part of our culture. The situation is no different within the women's movement, which has struggled with White Feminism, which is when white women choose to only pay attention to issues that impact them personally and suppress the voices of women of color. We look at the disparities between black women, women of color and white women in everything from wages to wealth to health outcomes. We talk about common tactics white women use and how we can change our behavior. We learn about ways we can uplift women who experience harm under our white supremacist culture and how we can stand up and start being anti-racist, because not being racist isn't enough. We take a hard look at ourselves and how our show can be more inclusive and representative. We acknowlege that we still have a lot to learn and there is so much more on this topic that we intend to continue to include in our future episodes.

Grace and Charlotte discuss alternative birth control methods that do not involve synthetic hormones. They explore the benefits and downsides of Fertility Awareness Methods.

Disclaimer* We are in no way medical professionals and we have no idea how effective these natural methods are at preventing pregnancies. Please consult with your doctor or someone who is knowledgeable about birth control methods if you are thinking of alternative options for contraceptives.

Grace and Charlotte talk about a subject that has been puzzling them for a long time...dental dams. They learn that this product is used as a barrier method for STI protection during oral sex. So why aren't they widely used or talked about? They go further down the dental dam rabbit hole to find out. Not surprisingly they find that lack of awareness is most likely a result of cisgender and heterosexual norms that encompass mainstream sex-education.

They discuss why Women leaders are doing a better job than their male counterparts.

Charlotte and Grace talk Joe Biden, Legal Sex Work, and Sex Toys.

Sex workers are being discriminated against yet again. They are excluded from obtaining small business loans in the 2 trillion dollar U.S bailout in response to the Global Pandemic. Legal sex work falls under the "prurient" clause that exempts them from benefiting from the bail out.

They end with the booming sex toy indistry and how people are coping with social distancing i.e. orgasms!
