Does penis size matter? From porn to mass media, we learn from a young age that larger penises lead to a better sexual experience. DB challenges that concept and offers many reasons why penis size isn't the be all end all of good sex (and, spoiler alert, doesn't matter to most people).

Sex Ed with DB is your go-to podcast for smart, science-backed sex education—delivering trusted insights from top experts on sex, sexuality, and pleasure. Empowering, inclusive, and grounded in real science, it's the sex ed you've always wanted.

ABOUT SEX ED WITH DB: Take a second and think back to the sex education you had in school. Did it prepare you to have a healthy and happy relationship with sex and identity? If it was anything like DB's, it was stigmatizing, judgmental, and totally unhelpful. But not to worry, the experts are here to offer the sex ed you wish you had.

We cover an array of sex education topics like orgasms, abortion, pornography, fetishes and kinks, pleasure, consent and boundaries, healthy relationships, LGBTQIA+ mental health and sexual health, LGBTQIA+ relationships, coming out, sexual dysfunction and pain during sex, birth control, sex in the media, Queer stories, and so much more. We believe that everyone deserves comprehensive, inclusive, pleasure-centered, feminist, medically-accurate sex education. On the show, DB and sexual health expert guests break down your most curious sex questions like "Am I pregnant?" or "How can I have a stronger orgasm?" or "How do I keep the spark alive in a long-term relationship?" or "How often should I be having sex?" or "What are common sexual fetishes?" or "What are the benefits of masturbation?" Tune in for expert insights and candid conversations redefining sexual health and empowerment!

Today, I'm sharing a preview of a new podcast I'm enjoying and think you will, too. On Come As You Are, educator and bestselling author Dr. Emily Nagoski answers questions about sex with the latest science. You'll get a modern guide to sexual wellbeing, backed by groundbreaking research about desire, anatomy, orgasm and much more. In conversation with her producer, Emily debunks cultural myths and flips the script on everything you thought you knew about sex and sexuality.
