In this candid and humorously insightful episode, sisters Cindy and Carly share personal anecdotes and listener stories about their experiences with sex education, or lack thereof, while growing up in a conservative, religious environment.

As they navigate these sensitive topics, Cindy and Carly emphasize the importance of open communication, enthusiastic consent, and self-education in creating a healthier and more open approach towards sex and relationships.
