Notes From the New World Naughty Art, Navigating Relationships as a Public Figure, and Closing the Orgasm Gap with Jessica Stahl aka Vanilla Cool Dance
254: "I started the account originally as my, indeed, like diary and doodles, and I would turn my situation, which at the time felt quite embarrassing and cringy, if you will, into a more humorous, self-deprecating cartoon." - Jessica Stahl aka vanillacooldance
From creating personal doodles to becoming a sex-positive artist and advocate in Amsterdam - tune in to listen to Jessica Stahl, also known as Vanilla Cool Dance, share her POV on censorship, talking about sexuality online, the orgasm gap and dating while running VCD.
**Snippets** from the episode:
- "My mom got me my first vibrator when she found out that I was having sex and she encouraged me to explore my own pleasure."
- "The orgasm gap is the basically the pleasure gap between let's say cis men and cis women. And it's essentially… there's about a 30% difference in reliably orgasming with a partner."
- "So the artwork was of…a king going down on a queen. And it said, a true king always knows who comes first. And I put this throughout the whole city and I absolutely loved it because to me, it's really that getting that instant feedback and starting those conversations on the street was one of the most amazing things that I've experienced."
- "Now that I've started my newsletter, which is a bit more intimate and personal, I have fears a little bit of how will this affect my dating life because it is a bit more vulnerable when it's not just in cartoon form."
