Girl Boner Radio Reviews:

“August Mclaughlin combines reporting with first-person storytelling dedicated to sexual health and positivity… The podcast is what you’d hope talking about sex with a close group of female friends would be like — if everyone was completely open and honest about their experiences.” – Romper

“Girl Boner is a personal fav. August, who is also a former international model and eating disorder survivor, places the podcast’s emphasis on pleasure, self-embracement and leading full, aroused lives.” – Bellesa

“The information given on this podcast is invaluable! I have learned so much… The tips are super useful, the guests are great, and August is amazing. I’ve shared episodes with my boyfriend and he also finds the content useful and relevant to our sex life.” – Apple Podcasts listener 

“August is a gentle, compassionate and inquisitive journalist. She chooses engaging topics and invites knowledgeable guests. Her advice is based in science and empathy… ‘Girl Boner’ is the the ‘Fresh Air’ of sex and August is our Terry Gross.” – Apple Podcasts listener 

 

Girl Boner Book Reviews:

“Equally fun, risqué, and informative, this is a welcome addition to sexual health literature.” – Publishers Weekly

“…touches on topics that sex ed classes skip… You’re bound to find it inspiring and, er, stimulating.” Bustle

“…terrifically encouraging…a thorough primer on everything from sex toys to bondage to ‘no means no…’” New York Times

With Pleasure Book Reviews

“August McLaughlin and Jamila Dawson’s ‘With Pleasure’ is an inspiring guide to feeling good in one’s body…a graceful self-help book about working through trauma to feel good again.” – Foreword Reviews

“With Pleasure is a welcome gift to all. It is not hyperbole to say that—given the state of the world—this book is needed now more than ever.” – New York Journal of Books
