Pleasure People is the series that uncovers the science of pleasure through real research and the people who lived it. A thousand people. Three weeks. One question science rarely asks outright: what does daily pleasure actually do for you? In this 6-part limited audio series, hosted by veteran sex educator Danielle Bezalel, Pleasure People follows eight participants of a first-of-its-kind intervention study that tracked pleasure's impact on sleep, stress, relationship satisfaction, and so much more. You'll hear directly from these participants about what it was like to have pleasure assigned and the lasting impact the study had on their lives. The findings will surprise you. Danielle is joined by Magic Wand study lead researcher Dr. Candice Hargons and legendary sex researcher Emily Nagoski, Ph.D. to unpack the layered effect pleasure has on quality of life, and why self-pleasure has gotten such a bad rap.
In this Best Of episode, we're talking all about how to have sex with confidence, from initiation to maybe even some domination. You'll hear clips from: Initiating Sex with Confidence with Whitni Miller Feminine Domination and Power Play with Midori

Let's break some myths and dive into what your porn-watching habits may or (probably) may not mean about your real-world preferences.
