ABOUT GIRL BONER

Check out about my podcast, Girl Boner Radio, here!

(I dedicate most of my time and energy to the show.)

 

Okay, so some background info…

Demystifying sexuality and celebrating pleasure!

Girl Boner is a term I trademarked after years of contemplating all it stands for: the recognition and embracement of female sexual pleasure. More than a term for female sexual arousal, for which a universal term has not before existed, Girl Boner is the title of my brand, podcast, nonfiction book series and activism. I also to see it as a movement and my contribution to sex-positivity.

You do not need to have a vulva to experience a Girl Boner.

 

While the Girl Boner book series is geared primarily toward women, femmes and folks reared as girls, Girl Boner Radio, is for everyone.

Years ago, embracing my sexuality helped me heal from a severe eating disorder. Realizing I was far from unique in my struggles, I launched a mission I’ve been on since. Because sexuality is about so much more than sex and the benefits of sexual empowerment reach far beyond the bedroom, you’ll find that my content delves into many topics related to leading full, authentic lives.

All genders are welcome! I’m really grateful to have a diverse audience that includes many guys and non-binary individuals, as well as women and femmes. You’re all so, so welcome here.

Here are a few especially popular Girl Boner blog posts and episodes:

Embracing our sexuality is essential for embracing our full selves.

Listen!

What would it take to arouse your life? To experience more connection? More pleasure? More realness? In and outside of the bedroom?

For my weekly podcast, Girl Boner Radio, I interview sexual health experts, therapists, sex workers, celebrity entertainers, researchers, activists, wonderful “everyday people” and more. In 2020, I revamped the show to feature a narrative style and more extraordinary true stories.

The show frequently ranks in the top 100 sex podcasts charts on major podcast apps and was named one of the best sex podcasts to listen to in 2022 by Romper.
