  • 1. Masturbation and Sex Toys

    33:59
    Despite being a safe and fun way to learn about your body and what feels good, only one in four people with vulvas masturbate regularly, which is only half the rate of people with penises. C’mon. Let’s be frank about masturbation and sex toys. For this first episode, Rowdie is joined by Lucy Wark, the founder of sex toy company NORMAL. Lucy advocates for normalising sex toys and masturbation, addressing the fears and concerns of Rosie from this week’s DM submission.  For more information, visit frank.org.au or call the Family Planning Australia Talkline at 1300 658 886. Articles:5 Benefits of Masturbation you never knew aboutSex Toys – the low down

  • 3. Consent

    33:25
    Almost 2 million Australian adults have experienced sexual assault since the age of 15. Yet, with sexual assault figures so high, especially among women, consent is only now being included in school curriculums. C’mon. Let’s be frank about consent. Rowdie is joined by Chanel Contos, founder of the online petition demanding consent education reform in Australian schools. Chanel empowers us to recognise when consent is necessary and how to ensure it happens, addressing the uncertainty of Grace from this week’s DM submission. For more information, visit frank.org.au or call the Family Planning Australia Talkline at 1300 658 886. Support services:1800 RESPECT National helpline 1800 737 732Lifeline - 13 1114Mensline Australia - Men and Boys support For info on the consent laws in your state:ConsentSex and dating
