The widespread acceptance of Christian values as fact has seeped into our laws, doctor's offices, and even our bedrooms. The idea of keeping ourselves "pure" has created many of the unhealthy sexual environments we are faced with today. In this episode of Lemon-Aid, NB talks about how religion has impacted our sex lives and why it might be better to keep Jesus out of our beds. 

Note: The song sampled in the episode is actually called "The Loophole" by Garfunkel and Oates. "God's Backdoor" (or "God's Loophole") is a name for the practice itself. 

*Content Warning: Explicit sexual content. Discussions of abuse, exploitation, and child marriage. Brief mentions of blood and other physical traumas.*

Necessary Behavior is back with another episode of Lemon OG, where we get high and try to tackle human morality. We debate whether people are naturally good or bad and discuss the systems in place that might sway a person one way or the other. 

*Content Warning: Drug use, discussions of poverty and income inequality, brief mentions of violence*

There are somethings that we learn about sex that just seem like common knowledge. We hear them all of the time. Sex is good exercise. Big dicks are better. Losing your virginity hurts. Condoms don't always fit. Too much sex can stretch out your vagina. But how much of what we are told is actually true?

Join NB as we tackle some of the most popular sex myths and talk about why they are still so prevalent today.

*Content Warning: Explicit sexual content. Discussions of sexual violence/abuse, child abuse, and misogyny.*

Necessary Behavior lights up and learns about the history of weed. (Does it still count as learning if we are too high to remember anything?) Smoke a bowl with us as we talk about how marijuana gained popularity throughout the world and why it's suddenly considered taboo.

*Content Warning: Drug use, discussions of racism, and brief sexual content.*

Didn't Mean Girls say it best? "Don’t have sex, because you will get pregnant and die."  

Public education has really dropped the ball when teaching us about sex. Sometimes, the lessons from our parents are even worse. Necessary Behavior gets together to talk about failures in sex ed and why so many people are so afraid to tell their kids about sex!

*Content Warning: Discussions on sexism, racism, ableism, and transphobia; emphasis on issues within the medical field. A few blood mentions and a graphic depiction of a birthing experience.*

Are bad words really bad? Would you rather unlock any door or commit any crime? How does nobody in Tennessee snitch on Hannah Montana? Why do we keep calling things horny?

NB asks the real questions on this episode of Lemon-Aid.

*Content Warning: Brief discussion of slurs including use of the r-slur at 2:12. Mild sexual content.*
