A woman’s vagina is a very magical place. It has the ability to bring life into this earth,  form inexplicable intimate bonds, communicate in ways words never could, and it even has the ability to form art.   Sadly, in most countries vagina art is considered obscene and can even land an artist in jail for showcasing or distributing their work! On this week’s episode I am joined by a very talented artist who specializes in painting the vagina, Shawn G.  Shawn G creates original art pieces showcasing the beauty of the vagina in unconventional ways. One of my favorite pieces has been a clit shaped money clip. Yeah... you read that correctly…A CLIT SHAPED MONEY CLIP.   Tune in to hear us talk about: - The normalization of men genitals and masturbation as opposed to women - The shaming that accompanies women masturbating  - The obstacles that Shawn G faces because of the content of her art - The concept behind her famous pieces of art  - Instagram shadowbanning Shawn G’s content even when her work is animated   Links mentioned: ShawnGoriginals.com  Use promo code BOXOWNER for 25% off 1st order  Vice Article:  https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkd47z/drawings-of-vaginas-could-land-an-artist-with-a-six-year-jail-sentence   ————————————— Connect with me:  @officialboxowner @fullcourtpumps info@officialboxowner.com www.officialboxowner.com  Connect with our guest:  @mrsoriginalsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/period-sis-podcast--6133990/support.

Amber was just like any other college student, grappling with midterm exams and the usual stress. Being athletic, she had been using tampons since she was twelve, fitting them into her active lifestyle seamlessly. It never crossed her mind that this little piece of cotton could put her life in jeopardy. Amber walked us through the days leading up to her diagnosis—feeling more tired than usual, losing her appetite, and dealing with what seemed like eternal dehydration. It all seemed like stress, right? Wrong.Amber recounted her initial visit to urgent care where her symptoms were brushed off as nothing more than stress and tiredness by a doctor. It was eye-opening to hear how her symptoms weren’t taken seriously until she landed in the gynecologist's office, undergoing a painful examination that finally pointed to TSS. It's a stark reminder of how easily women's health issues are often overlooked but also how we have to slow down and listen to our bodies.
