Episode 210: Erections, Orgasms & More! Advice from a Pelvic Floor Specialist

 (00:02):

You're listening to the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast. Sex and relationship advice you can use tonight.

Brandon (00:10):

Welcome to the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast I'm your co host Brandon Ware here with my lovely other half Dr. Jess.

Dr. Jess (00:17):

Hey hey.

Brandon (00:18):

Hey, how’re you doing?

Dr. Jess (00:20):

Good good. Today we’re talking about some hot topics. We're talking stronger erections, oral sex, anal sex, and how it changes after childbirth. I don't know about that. But I want to hear about that. Leaking when you laugh. Do you leak when you laugh?

Brandon (00:33):

I do not leak when I laugh.

Dr. Jess (00:36):

Do you laugh?

Brandon (00:37):

I mean I'm hilarious, so I laugh all the time.

Dr. Jess (00:39):

You laugh at your own jokes.

Brandon (00:40):

I do. You know I woke up last night laughing to a dream.

Dr. Jess (00:44):

Do you not remember that I actually thought you were crying? So I was like, “baby it's okay” and you're like laughing.

Brandon (00:50):

I was laughing for real. I woke up. It was something, somebody farted in my dream. And I thought it was funny.

Dr. Jess (00:54):

Is that true?

Brandon (00:55):

Yeah that's the truth. I don't know who farted. But it was real funny. That's all it takes. That's all it takes to make me laugh. So if you ever see me chuckling, I'm probably thinking of somebody farting okay?

Dr. Jess (01:05):

So you don't leak when you laugh but you laugh in your sleep when someone farts?

Brandon (01:09):

Yes.

Dr. Jess (01:10):

Well that's funny because we're also going to be talking about bowel movements and constipation. We're going to be talking about bumper sex, the pussy pocket.

Brandon (01:19):

I'm thinking of bumper cars now.

Dr. Jess (01:21):

I just pictured people walking around with erections bumping each other.

Brandon (01:25):

I feel like that could be so painful so quickly.

Dr. Jess (01:27):

That's probably why it's so funny to me.

Brandon (01:30):

Maybe to you yeah.

Dr. Jess (01:31):
