When it comes to sex, we often think about safety and pleasure as being at odds with one another. But it doesn&#8217;t have to be this way. In this episode, we&#8217;re talking about some new Kinsey Institute research looking at people&#8217;s experiences with <a href="https://mylorals.com/products/lorals-for-protection-all">Lorals for Protection</a>, a product designed to offer both protection and pleasure during oral sex.
I am joined by Dr. Cynthia Graham, a <a href="https://kinseyinstitute.org/about/profiles/cgraham.php">senior scientist at the Kinsey Institute</a>. She is editor-in-chief of the <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/hjsr20?creative=521864638956&keyword=&matchtype=&network=g&device=c&gclid=CjwKCAiA9qKbBhAzEiwAS4yeDdn_m28VAhlGKr3TerL29HIWKm9iJToefjhhKInMsGz0Li2_ZbJnFxoCF30QAvD_BwE">Journal of Sex Research</a> and conducts research on a number of important sexual health topics.
Some of the specific areas we explore in this show include:
<ul>
<li>Why do discussions about safer sex almost always leave oral sex out of the equation?</li>
<li>Oral sex is often thought of as a low- or no-risk activity, but is that really the case?</li>
<li>How come dental dams never really caught on?</li>
<li>How does Lorals offer something different compared to other barrier methods?</li>
<li>How can we help people to maximize both pleasure and safety during sexual activity?</li>
</ul>
