In Episode 2 of Quickie with a Vibe, Dr. Danielle Armour and Dr. Ashley Sweet dive deep into the many ways we fake it — in the bedroom and beyond. From faking orgasms to performing for partners, the hosts unpack why so many people abandon their own pleasure to protect someone else's feelings.

The conversation covers the challenges of "spectating" during sex instead of staying embodied, how society conditions women to perform at the expense of authenticity, and why the 20-30% orgasm gap in heterosexual relationships is really a communication gap. They also introduce the concept of "before play" — because foreplay starts long before the bedroom.

This week's Clit Note: Get to know your own clit first. Each person is fundamentally responsible for their own orgasm, and owning your pleasure starts with knowing what actually feels good.

Expect honesty, laughter, and the kind of real talk two AASECT-certified sex therapists and self-described "co-alphas" can deliver.

Note: Some of the laughter audio cuts out... fyi, we aren't sitting silent!

Welcome to the very first episode of Quickie with a Vibe! Join your hosts, Dr. Ashley Sweet and Dr. Danielle Armour — both clinical sexologists, AASECT-certified sex therapists, and licensed psychotherapists — as they finally take the mic after a year of "we should make a podcast."

In this debut episode, we're getting back to basics with Vulva 101. We're talking about what a vulva actually is (spoiler: it's not a vagina), the three holes nobody taught us about, and why calling the vulva a "vagina" is like calling your face a nose. We share some hilarious personal stories — from childhood nicknames for genitalia to the first time saying certain words — and dive into why the clitoris is the non-negotiable star of the show.

We also unpack why most people with vulvas can't get off from penetration alone, what we wish we'd learned in sex ed (hint: it's pleasure ed), and why "pleasure is the measure" (shoutout Emily Nagoski).

Expect quick takes, real talk, and plenty of laughs. This is your snapshot-sized pod to pop in during your day and leave with a smile — and maybe a little more knowledge about your own body.

Enjoy your clit. Until next time!
