Ash Lemonade invites her friends Qiana, fitness instructor, and Portia, sex educator, to talk about the controversial comments from rapper Boosie BadAzz about his minor son receiving oral sex. 

The conversation later explored how they were educated on sex growing up in old school black households, black girls being labeled "fast," their relationship towards sex now, and how they address the taboos.
