Ever wondered how to flirt or wished someone would teach your partner? Michelle dives into the question "How do you flirt?" in today's episode. Flirting is all about personal attraction, confidence, playful gestures, and engaging body language.

If you get a green light, go ahead, unleash your inner flirt and potentially make someone's day a little brighter!

Zero gravity does what to erections?! We were fortunate to be joined by the crew of the Sex in Space podcast, which includes Dr. Jane Harrington, Toshiko Frederickson, and Tim Blower, all the way from New Zealand, to take us on an intergalactic sexual adventure through the cosmos and back. We begin with intergalactic astronaut adventures, followed by a descent to Earth to cover the snake clitoris, magical clownfish, kangaroos, aphrodisiacs, and condom tricks. So, if you're ready, let's dive into a fascinating discussion about sex that spans across countless dimensions.

Show Notes:

[00:00:23]  Has anyone had sex in space?

[00:01:15] The majority of people still don't know that the clitoris is an organ. 

[00:00:58] On my sex fact quest, I came across Sex and Space, a group of fellow sex geeks from New Zealand who have made it their mission on earth to create a space for people to talk and learn about sex across all of its dimensions, even in outer space.

[00:02:02] Dr. Jane Harrington, Toshiko Frederickson's, and Tim Blower from the Sex and Space Podcast tell us how they landed on this mission.
