In this last episode before a much needed rest, Jessy and Rebekah talk all about our friend the nipple! We learned a ton about nipples and even found out about the strongest nipples in all the land! It has been awesome talking to you all for the past 2.5 years and…we’ll see ya….sometime down the line. Xxx  03:40: William Featherstone Montgomery looks exactly as I would have imagined. Also, he died in Dublin in 1859 so, unless he was hermetically sealed and then reanimated he is most assuredly dead.  06:15: So this extra booby is actually called an “accessory breast,” sort of like a handbag or a really cool bracelet! I found a reference to it in this journal of plastic surgery.  08:10: Check out this very informative (and maybe a tad bit confusing) article from Scientific American!  11:15: HAVE NO FEAR! The Great Nippulini has his very own website! But it isn’t actually his website, it is a website for his nipples. Contact us! Watch us! Love us!  Support us at glow! Check out our new Medium page!

The Clandestine Nipple

TW: Sexual violence and rape. In this episode, Jessy and Rebekah speak with Annie who was raped when she was in college and who, despite doing all the “right” things after her attack was still unable to achieve justice through our system. Just a note, if you feel you might get triggered by this content, please skip over. It is important to us that you take care of yourself. And if you have been raped or assaulted and need help, please call the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline at (800)-656-HOPE (4673). By calling this number you will be routed to a local RAINN-affiliated organization based off the first six digits of your phone number. Cell phone users have the option to enter their ZIP code so they can be connected with a local sexual assault service provider.  08:45: According to RAINN, 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Among graduate and undergraduate students, 11.2% of all students experience rape or sexual assault through violence, physical force or incapacitation.  09:30: Here is a document created by the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault in April 2014. It explains what a victim advocate is as well as what other services should be offered to students who are victims of sexual violence on campus.  10:00: Here is an article from The Atlantic that talks about how to rape kit backlog has meant that thousands of rapists have gone unfound – some of them serial predators. Women were put through the terror and discomfort of doing a rape kit and oftentimes they are never tested. They just sit in warehouses and rot.  13:00: Here is “an updated definition of rape” from the archives of the Department of Justice, published January 6, 2012. In it, the DOJ makes considerations for incapacitation due to alcohol ingestion when it says, “because many rapes are facilitated by drugs or alcohol, the new definition recognizes that a victim can be incapacitated and thus unable to consent because of ingestion of drugs or alcohol.”  18:10: Here is a one-stop shop for the information about Title IX. There have been a lot of changes since Tr*mp took office and put Betsy DeVos in charge of the education department. Unsurprisingly none of those changes have been good. Contact us! Watch us!

Nobody Would Listen To Me w/ Annie

We are still recording from home! Which looks like us each recording in make-shift studios – in closets, under blankets – and FaceTiming so we get that real in person feel. It was so hot in our at-home studios. But, it’s all good. This is what we do for you. Because we love you. Another thing we do is spend the morning researching the history of vajazzling! So, enjoy! And don’t forget to donate to us at glow.fm/welcometomyvagina!  01:15: “The TikTok thing with the kids” is a clear indication that Rebekah does not use TikTok and is not a kid. She is an old.  06:00: Officially obsessed with the Face To Face NYC website. Here is their complete waxing menu, including the “Marble Sac with Shaft.”  07:00: FYI Jennifer Love Hewitt’s book, The Day I Shot Cupid, was a NYTimes Best Seller. You can buy it here.  07:15: My super sleuth skills tell me that this book was written after her split from Jamie Kennedy, a stand-up comic who I personally had not heard of until right this moment.  08:00: Here is Jennifer Love Hewitt talking about vajazzling on Lopez Tonight. It is….really something.  09:00: So, real quick, Urban Dictionary has a definition of the term “vagina buffet” which is as follows: “A time at which one eats as much vagina as humanly possible and finished it off with a big, hearty mug of ‘gina juice.” Also, you can buy Vagina Buffet: Bite Size Tales of a Brazilian Waxer here.   12:46: Here is the article from The Cut where a lot of our vajazzle intel came from. And a link to Frances Goodman’s “Vajazzling Series.”  18:30: Here is a link to an article all about vagina stencils! Because you can’t look sad when your pubes look happy.  19:15: Betty Beauty: It’s Color for the Hair Down There! Contact us! Watch us! Love us!  Support us at glow! Check out our new Medium page!

Vajazzle Your Vajunk

Gladys Bentley

Kirtsa Scruggs

In this weeks podcast, we talked about some pretty amazing women! Jessy will tell you all about the badass gender-bending blues singer Gladys Bentley, and Rebekah will introduce you to Kirsta Scruggs, a serious taste maker in the natural wine world! In lieu of all the usual notes, we are going to share with you some resources for things to read, places to donate and things to watch. We are living through a revolution, friends. Here is an AMAZING reading list by Victoria Alexander (you can find her on Twitter @victoriaalxndr): Anti-Racist Lit: Starter Kit: Stamped From the Beginning, Ibram X. Kendi A People’s History of the United States, Howard Zinn White Fragility: Why it’s so Hard for White People to Talk About Racism, Robin DiAngelo So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo Anti-Racist Lit: Intermediate Kit The Burning House: Jim Crow and the Making of Modern America, Anders Walker The New Jim Crow: Mass Incareration in the Age of Color Blindness, Michelle Alexander The Condemnation of Blackness, Khalil Gibran Muhammad Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland, Jonathan M. Metzl A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America, Ronald Takaki How to be an Anti Racist, Ibram X. Kendi Anti-Racist Lit: Topic Specifics Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, Matthew Desmond Nobody: Casualties of America’s War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond: Everything Your American History Textbook got Wrong, Marc Lamont Hill Lies My Teachers Told Me, James W Loewen Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? And Other Conversation about Race, Beverley Daniel Tatum, PhD The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, Richard Rothstein Blackballed: The Black Vote and US Democracy, Darryl Pinckney Anti-Racist Lit: Biographies, Non- Fiction, Personal Narratives The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration, Isabel Wilkerson The Fire Next Time, James Baldwin The Autobiography of Malcolm X, as told to Alex Haley Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates Killing Rage, bell hooks Becoming, Michelle Obama The Black Lives Matters movement has put this amazing site together that has been shared pretty widely. But, sometimes we miss things! So, here it is! There are protest maps, petitions, places to donate (both with money and with time), a missing people thread, extra resources and more. Honestly, Black Lives Matters has been at this for A MINUTE and has used that time to put together a bunch of resources to make us as useful as we can possibly be. So, check it out, explore the site. As we said: there are so many different roles to be played here and they do not all involve being out on the streets protesting. So find out where you can be most useful. The only mistake you can make is not getting involved, whether that be through conversations with friends, donating money, whatever. Black lives matter. Stay safe. Love,Jessy and Rebekah

Is Our Love Podcast with The Reluctant Sexpert and Lola Jean

In this episode Jessy and Rebekah went LIVE….virtually. We did an Instagram Live sesh where we talked about body hair during the pandemic. No waxing? No shaving? No problem! This is a time where we can get back to our roots – no pun intended – and figure out what feels right to us without the input from society. Also, check us out on glow.fm/welcometomyvagina where you can purchase our AMAZING merchandise. We will be posting images this week on our Instagram so make sure to stay tuned for that! And without further adieu…  02:50: Yup, looks like our body odor DOES change during quarantine! According to this Vice article, our body odor is determined by the microbes that live on our skin. Those microbes are influenced by whoever we spend time around. When we engage in skin-to-skin contact with other people, we share our microbial community and therefore our odors are changed. Currently, the people we come in contact with has been severely diminished and therefore our personal microbial community, and therefore our body odor, has changed!   03:30: If you all want to support us currently and going forward – and score some amazing merchandise! – make sure to become a monthly subscriber on glow.fm/welcometomyvagina. We will be dropping a bonus episode every month for people who donate monthly at $5 or more!  06:45: Maybe Rebekah was thinking about this article by Dave Barry? Which we think is satire?  11:00: Here is the Amanda Mull article from The Atlantic that Jessy was referring to.  24:30:  At this point Jessy actually cut a bit of her hair. So, this is what you are missing by not coming to our live recordings. Credit to Hilla The Killa for the Body Hair song!Contact us! Watch us! Love us!  Support us at glow!

Lindsey Boylan

Before we get started, don’t forget to donate to us at glow.fm/welcometomyvagina. We have all sorts of rewards available (totes, t-shirts, tanks, underwear) AND all monthly subscribers will get access to extra exclusive content! What are you waiting for?! And now to get to the nitty gritty. Jessy started off with a VERY convincing presentation as to why hard boiled eggs are the best snacks and then we spent some time speaking with Lindsey Boylan who is running for the House of Representatives! WOW! Make sure to stick around to the end where we talk about where we would be if we could be anywhere in the world during this pandemic so make sure to stay tuned!  04:30: Meet Lindsey Boylan! She is running against Gerry Nadler for his seat representing the 10th Congressional District for the State of New York in the House of Representatives!  07:45: One issue that wasn’t addressed directly here that we want to highlight is the dangers facing the victims of domestic violence when stay-at-home orders are coupled with economic stressors. In the US, some precincts are reporting a 35% increase in DV calls, and that does not include those that go unreported, which is said to be at about 50% of total cases. You can read more about it in this article from The Intercept.  09:15: It appears as though people in the Nadler camp are very worried about Lindsey Boylan. Read about it in The Washington Post, Business Insider and Teen Vogue.  15:00: Ron Desantis is actually the governor of Florida and he is totally fucking this entire thing up. But the person Rebekah was thinking of is the Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick who said that there are a lot of old people who would sacrifice themselves to open the economy up earlier and, essentially, that getting business rolling is more important than the loves of potentially hundreds of thousands of people. And he can say that because he himself is old. Read about it in this article from Vanity Fair.  20:45: We are, in fact, around the same age!   24:15: It is true, the yearly salary for members of Congress is $174,000. A number that has been unchanged since 2009, the same year as minimum wage was raised from $6.55 to $7.25 per hour. Just saying.  30:00: As of March 13th, the government was planning on kicking 700,000 people off SNAP benefits as per this Vox article. But, due to the coronavirus, a federal judge blocked Trump’s plan. That being said, people can’t use their SNAP benefits to purchase groceries online, which means that some of the most vulnerable in society are forced to go to a grocery store if they want to eat.  32:30: Important note: the Virginia legislature has flipped blue – Democratic governor, as well as a majority in the state House and Senate – which means it is something of a testing ground for how a lot of these progressive policy proposals will play out over time.  36:30: This is fun. The Washington Post has decided to label all women in Congress who have children under 18 as “working moms.” Anyway, the group has nearly doubled its number to 23. There are 21 serving in the House and 2 in the Senate. So, with 535 members between the House and the Senate, 4.5% of them are women with children under 18. Contact us! Watch us! Love us!

Lady Killers: True Crime Isn't Just Men

Welcome To My Vagina, hosted by Jessy Caron and Rebekah Frank is about sexuality, gender rights, and sex education. Destroying the taboo of sex and shutting down misogyny via the black hole of the vagina. A laugh til you queef adventure in sex education made up on the spot, but probably (definitely) researched.

As a feminist I find the title of this show TERFy and embarrassing.

Not all women have vaginas

Currently in love with my work commute, because it gives me the time to listen to these funny, informative, and beautifully shameless ladies. Great pod!

Absolutely hysterical...

Welcome To My Vagina

In this episode of Welcome To My Vagina, Jessy and Rebekah get into it to get you clitorate! That’s right, we talk all about the clitoris! We also introduce you to Nicole, badass lady behind Vagina Party, an Instagram account that helps you find all kinds of motivation to host your own Vagina Parties at home! But before we get into all that, if you listen to this episode on its release day, November 5th, 2019, DON’T FORGET TO VOTE! And, almost as importantly, go on over to glow.fm/welcometomyvagina to sponsor your favorite podcast! We need your money!  01:00: WE PLAYED VAGINA TABOO AND IT WAS AMAZING! To find Nicole, head on over to her Instagram account, @vaginaparty, and check out her great Etsy Store to find all kinds of (vagina) party games! Seriously, next time we throw a party we are buying some of this stuff. It’s rad.  09:30: Check out our awesome episode with Dr. Laurie Betito where she talks all about orgasming post-menopause. She even wrote a book called The Sex Bible for People Over 50: The Complete Guide to Sexual Love for Mature Couples that you can buy on the internet!  11:00: Because everything is related, we talked about hysteria way back when. Give that episode a listen and catch up on some patriarchal nonsense.  14:30: This was not random, it’s real! Alligators (and some turtles) exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination, which means that the temperature of the developing eggs determines the sex of the offspring. So in American alligators, for example, incubation at 33 degrees centigrade and above yields mostly males, while incubation at 30 degrees Celsius and below yields mostly females! Wow! This, however, is not true for people. Sorry, Galen.  16:00: Couldn’t really find any connection between the clitoris and demonic possessions BUT here is a really interesting article from Bitch Media about demonic possessions in movies and how women are oftentimes used as vessels rather than actual characters.  22:00: Here is a really interesting piece from The Conversation that discusses how society’s (intentional) lack of knowledge about the clitoris is very dangerous. Authors Jane Chalmers and Cat Jones discuss how “women are at risk of sexual dysfunction (lack of desire or arousal etc.) from operations on their urinary and reproductive organs.”   29:00: Head on over to mylola.com and get 30% off your first purchase of tampons, lube, pads and condoms with the code WELCOME30 and to simplehealth.com for your first month of birth control FREE and delivered to your door with discount code WELCOME.   36:15: Check out this 3-d clit!

Throughout the 19th century the Vulgar Tongue was recognized as the English slang dictionary and it strongly impacted all future dictionaries of its kind. So, Grose and Cocking, partners in slang.26:00 Need to know more words for pussy? We got you covered. It’s a pussy war up in here!Want to ask a question??

Mariah Freya

Support us and More Banana Podcasts! In this episode, Jessy and Rebekah get to chat with Mariah Freya, co-founder of beducated.com, all that way from her home in Germany! We learned about tantric sex, her journey through the world of sexual awakening and made a new friend! We also learned a little about where the term “G-spot” came from, how small the world of birth control is AND how mattresses are a total scam. This episode has it all, so get ready!!01:10: Check out this article from The Independent all about Ernst Grafenberg!05:30: Want to know more about this lunchtime procedure, this “G-shot for your G-spot?” You can read this article from HuffPo about the procedure and the MAN WHO INVENTED IT. Excuse us while we roll our eyes so hard we give ourselves headaches.07:30: In case you haven’t traveled back in time recently, you can do it right now! And listen to our inaugural episode, Vulva Shame!09:00: Curious about what Beducated is all about? Check out the website here!21:43: You can see some of Betty Dodson’s art here. She also puts out paper and art supplies during some of her classes to have women draw their own vulvas. Pretty rad!26:00: In case this bit is a little confusing, you can get some background information on it by listening to our episode FOSTA/SESTA: Change or Disappear.28:30: Doubtful about orgasmic birth?

Unless the mattresses include some sort of medical device at which time they are overseen by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Vaginismus is Not a Vagina Holiday with Molly Brenner

In this week’s episode, Jessy and Rebekah discuss virginity testing and why it is so incredibly stupid. There are SO MANY STUPID VIRGINITY TESTS and we will tell you about them. But first, don’t forget to support us by leaving rating us and leaving reviews, by telling your friends about your FAVORITE podcast and by donating at glow.fm/welcometomyvagina.   00:40: There are A TON of articles about this debacle, but here is one from Vulture. The podcast where he originally made his comments, Ladies Like Us with Nazanin and Nadia, has been taken down and the hosts have issues an apology. We have feelings about cancel culture (listen to our episode on the topic here) but we also have feelings about how TI’s daughter has been cast into the spotlight here. Not only did she not ask for her dad to behave this way, she also did not consent to him talking about it publicly and she does not deserve to have her sensitive information slapped all over the internet. So in doing your research, please keep all of this in mind. There is an innocent person involved here and she deserves privacy and respect.  06:30: If you don’t already follow us on Instagram, now’s the time to start. Check out our new virginity testing videos! Apparently we are not virgins. And neither is our producer, Cait. Who knew.  08:25: It’s true. The Indonesian army still carries out virginity tests on their female applicants.  12:30: If you want to hear more about how women’s bodies are actually just jungle gyms for all sorts of things – sperm, uterus – listen to our episode all about the word hysteria!   16:50: For those of you needing more information about Helkiah Crooke, have at it.   20:00: Her name was Elizabeth Bathory, she was a Slovakian Countess and also a vicious, vicious murderer.   25:00: Clearly neither of us are scientists because there are actually 7 states of matter!   27:00: Big thanks to JR Thorpe of Bustle for making this episode so fun.  33:30: We really did an entire episode on things not to put in your vagina and we would like to build a time machine and send this episode back to let everyone know that, no, do not put cinnamon up there.  Contact us!

Virginity Is A Myth!

In this two year anniversary special, Jessy and Rebekah revisit Vulva Shame, the topic of our very first ever episode! We do a bit of a deeper dive into labiaplasty and go into why (mostly young) women get it and how the patriarchy is pedaling bullshit insecurities in order to control women’s sexual empowerment and enjoyment. We also talk about a bunch of other nonsensical things such as vaginal steaming and shooting ozone up your hoo-ha. Give us a listen and don’t forget to rate and review us! It makes a HUGE difference.  00:34: Want to listen to our original Vulva Shame episode? Find it here!   01:00: GIVE US YOUR MONEY! Head on over to glow.fm/welcometomyvagina and help us keep making this podcast! We will use every dime to bring you educational and hilarious episodes.   04:30: Check out this study done in Britain that says that there is no such thing as a “normal” vagina.   06:30: Here is an abstract of Jessica Malone’s publication, “Women and genital cosmetic surgery” from the journal Women’s Health Issues Paper and another (free!) article that uses Malone’s work as a reference. It is called “In their own words: a qualitative content analysis of women’s and men’s preferences for women’s genitals,” which is, you know, telling.   07:30: As promised, here is the epic Camel Toe video! Make sure to subscribe to see all of Jessy’s awesome videos the second they are released!   15:00: Check out our episode with Diana all about her double mastectomy without reconstruction following her battle with reoccurring breast cancer.   16:00: Here is the FDA release advising people not to use “energy-based devices” in order to perform rejuvenation. You can also read more about it in The Daily Beast, which quoted past president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Scot Glasberg, as saying, “without long term studies, it’s hard to know what the risks will be.”   23:00: Here is an article from Vice all about the effects of piping ozone into your vagina and a response to that piece from Dr. Jen Gunter.  26:40: Yes, wormwood contains thujone which is a hallucinogen. You would actually need quite a bit of it to do harm by orally ingesting it but vaginally? Seems risky.  31:15: Here is an article that debunks a lot of myths and also talks a bit about perineoplasty – the surgery that reconstructs the vaginal opening which, according to Dr. Jen, helps with childbirth scars heal poorly.  40:15: The gallbladder stores bile that is produced by the liver!

Body Hair Don't Care

Support us and More Banana Podcasts! In this episode, Jessy tells a story about how some lady grabbed her ass and then gaslit her and in doing so reminds us all that it isn’t only men who don’t understand consent! We relearn the ever important lesson to keep your hands to your damn self. And then you favorite guides through the Vagina Dynasty talk all about the word hysteria, its history and why it still plagues women to this day.06:30: Do you like etymology? And where words come from? Well you’re in luck because we did a whole entire episode on the etymology of the word pussy! We weren’t able to come to any real conclusions but hot damn did we have a good time doing it.09:25: Jessy has dated a lot of bros and that’s why she knows what icing is. Rebekah knows because she is friends with Jessy. Don’t know what it is? Check out this handy article all about12:45: Yo this Galen dude has a school of nursing named after him and we are kind of thinking that maybe…he shouldn’t? Well, he did normalize dissections which we guess is pretty important but wouldn’t you think that in the process he would discover that there aren’t septic eggs floating around women’s bodies? Just sayin’13:20: No one is more disappointed about this turn of events than us (and probably Rachel Maines) but here is an article from The Atlantic asserts that there was scant evidence that orgasm was used to treat hysteria and that Maines’ book was not properly peer reviewed before publication. And, if you really want to nerd out, is the scientific paper by Hallie Lieberman and Eric Schatzberg called “A Failure of Academic Quality Control: The Technology of Orgasm.”13:30: Even though now maybe some of what we said isn’t true, you should still listen to Menage a Moi and also our interview with Sarah Quinn. There is a lot of good stuff in both of them.24:30: Check out one of our very favorite episodes, “Don’t Put That in Your Vagina: A Love Letter to Dr. Gunter.”25:30: No but really, check this shit out it is gnarly.

TAMPON TAX!

Support us and More Banana Podcasts! In this episode Jessy and Rebekah recount all about how this week was shit and then get into the wild world of masturbation. There are gods, there are doctors, there are doctors who think they are gods, there is a giant vibrator called “The Manipulator” that is coal powered and oh, so much more. Sit back, enjoy, and probably don’t consume liquids while listening because you might spit it out. Special shout out to Dr. Jenn and Dr. Erica, the two gynecologists behind the awesome podcast The V Word!!01:20: Seriously. A restaurant is actually banning women from dining solo at the bar because they might be escorts. So solo women that come in have to move to a table. Give us a BREAK.04:00: God forbid anyone try to help save people in this fucking country, you know?! Like, we get it that people shouldn’t be trespassing on federal land and whatnot, but we live in a country run by a man who is trying to strip a lot of national park land of its protected status so he can open it up to development so this seems a little out of step. Seems to us like maybe the problem is that these women were trying to help immigrants. What do you think?05:30: Here is our episode with Kicy Motly about how borders are actually just a bunch of bullshit. And some other things.07:15: The Global Advisory Board for Sexual Health and Wellbeing is pretty fucking amazing. It was established in 2016 to “advocate for a positive and inclusive approach to sexuality” and has since made it its mission to establish sexual pleasure as a human right!13:00: Also from Psychology Today, but this time by Michael Castleman, M.A., is this article on the history of vibrators. Check it out. It is totally wild.13:15: Here is a link to the first chapter of The Technology of Orgasm by Rachel P. Maines.19:00: Here is a link to our episode about things not to put in your vagina! It’s a hoot!19:30: Omg gall wasps are back. And we have discovered that the creepy Etsy guy selling wasp shit for your vagina is actually just Alfred Kinsey reincarnate. Anyway, here is an article about him. Kinsey. Not the Etsy guy. Or is it….?

Ménage à Moi

Support us and More Banana Podcasts! In this episode, Jessy and Rebekah read a review, Rebekah talks about her hairy, hairy vulvic region and then your favorite hosts sit down and have a chat with their producer Cait Moldenhauer about her experience having an abobo. Or an abortion. Whatever you want to call it. As always, we try to tackle it with a good dash of humor, but in the end, it’s a well-researched and serious conversation about abortion access, care and the experience of one woman who believes that talking openly about her abortion will help undo some of the shame put on women who choose to have one.01:16: If you haven’t checked out our body hair episode, what are you waiting for?! Find the link here.06:15: Here is the Science Vs episode Cait references. Give it a listen! It’s super informative.06:46: Here is the trailer for Reversing Roe10:25: Women and low income people found getting a divorce easier starting in the 1960s and it was in the 1970s that no-fault divorces started becoming more popular. But it wasn’t until 2010 that New York state became the last of the 50 states to allow a no-fault divorce even when there was no mutual consent for the divorce. Wow! Who knew?!15:30: Here is the New York Times article about the assassination of George Tiller in his church in Kansas.31:00: Here is some information from NARAL about forced ultrasound laws. They are horrible.41:00: Here is an article from Planned Parenthood all about the abortion pilland how it works. Here is something from the Mayo Clinic. And another one from Smithsonian Magazinethat talks about the reasons people use the abortion pill and how some women buy them online because they do not have access nearby. And finally, one from Glamour magazine. 42:45: Just as an aside, here is a blog about how women suffering from chronic pain wait longer to receive pain medication. This reflects the disparity in care given to men and women. When viewed through this lens, it is not surprising that women do not receive pain medication when undergoing an incredibly painful experience.43:30: There are abortion doulas! Here is an article written by one. And if you are an abortion doula, we want to talk to you!
