In this episode, we unpack some of the most common myths you’ve probably heard—and maybe even believed—about sex and sexual health. From not being able to get pregnant on your period, to sperm surviving in hot tubs, we unzip many of these ideas to get to the truth of the matter.

We talk about misconceptions around condoms, withdrawal, lubrication, oral sex, and STI testing, and explore how myths can lead to confusion, awkward conversations, and risky assumptions.

We also challenge familiar narratives about gendered sex drives, virginity and hymens, and the idea that having an STI makes someone undesirable. No scare tactics, no shame—just candid conversation, shared responsibility, and the space and permission to ask better questions.

If you’ve ever wondered whether what you were taught about sex is myth or fact, this episode invites you to laugh, rethink a few things, and keep unzipping those taboos.
