Prostate Pleasure and Penile Anatomy

Solo anal play might be the most misunderstood sex act out there, and I’m done letting shame, myths, and bad porn narratives keep you from one of the most pleasurable things you can do for yourself. Whether you're completely new to anal or just looking for a place to finally start, this episode is your no-judgment, fully practical guide to exploring on your own terms.

From the anatomy behind why it actually feels so good (yes, for all genitals) to the exact tools, lube, and prep you need to get started safely, I break it all down with zero shame and a lot of science. Plus, I answer real listener questions about positioning, bringing it up with a partner, and the mess concerns that are quietly keeping most people from ever trying.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why anal stimulation can unlock full-body orgasms for every anatomy — and the nerve science that explains it

• The three biggest anal myths (and why they're completely wrong)

• Exactly how to prep, what to buy, and how to start — so your first experience is actually pleasurable
