In the United States, only 18 states provide medically accurate sex education, which leaves far too many of us in the dark about how our body works. In IS THIS NORMAL?, Dr. Brighten candidly shares what your sex-ed teacher should have said but didn’t. She answers all those “lady parts” questions you’ve always wondered but might not have felt comfortable asking, including topics as wide-ranging as the menstrual cycle, postpartum health, libido, acne, the orgasm gap, and vaginal discharges, and Jess and Jess ask about them all.

A really informative, educational and entertaining conversation about women's health and the lack of accurate and comprehensive sex education in the US, if you didn't have questions going into this, you just might end up with some.
