Cynthia and Josie's Unmentionables

SUMMER SERIES: Best Sex Ever
What makes for the best sex ever? Chemistry? Communication? Confidence? Or maybe a very active imagination?
In this summer edition of Cynthia & Josie’s Unmentionables, we dig into what makes sex satisfying, then revisit “What’s Your Sexual Fantasy?” with guest Lucas De Man, exploring research into common fantasies from around the world.
Consider it a little summer vacation for your imagination.

In 2023, our lives changed with an unmistakable, stomach-turning pop. In this episode, we are looking back at the raw, hilarious, and deeply honest podcast episode we recorded right after my husband broke his penis.We revisit the immediate trauma, the emergency room panic, and the intense recovery process. Then, we fast-forward to today to give you the ultimate update. We share exactly how he is doing now, how our intimacy survived, and what life looks like years after the ultimate bedroom nightmare.

This week, we're looking back... and looking up. After Cynthia’s recent colonoscopy, we're revisiting our very first Unmentionables episode on hemorrhoids, sharing what we’ve learned from our own butt-based adventures, and proving once again that the most awkward conversations are often the most important, and the funniest.
