Today we're talking about lady parts with Dr. Sherry Ross. She is an award winning OBGYN, health expert, author of She-ology and has a segment on Ellentube called "Lady Parts" with Sarah Hyland. Her goal is to give women the means to take charge of their health at every stage of their lives. Today we're asking all of your vagina questions - yes, especially the ones you're too embarrassed to ask yourself (like what condoms to buy, red flag smells, BV, labido, all of the above!). This is the episode you want to share with your friends so we all have access to this important information about our bodies and how we can protect and care for them.
"KNOW WHAT'S NORMAL SO THEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT'S ABNORMAL, BECAUSE THERE'S MANY THINGS THAT AFFECT THE PH BALANCE, ODOR AND TASTE OF THE VAGINA." - DR. SHERRY
What we talk about:
What happened when Raeann made the first move to approach guys in Denver
Do you still feel like you need your parent's approval even as an adult?
Which foods influence the smell of your vagina
The best/safest products for cleaning and moisturizing down there
Shaving vs waxing vs laser: does it matter?
Why some women have more UTIs than others
The 411 on IUDs (and how to make insertion less painful)
How often you should get a pap smear
When to start freezing your eggs
Factors that affect labido and how to increase yours
Why you should use condoms for oral sex and every time
Why a "clean" STD test still isn't enough to avoid condoms
Ask away: how do I get over someone who just broke my heart?
"MEN TEND TO HAVE AN ORGASM WITHIN 3-5 MINUTES. WOMEN, WE'RE 13-20, SO IF THE AVERAGE FOREPLAY IS WITHIN 13 MINUTES, WHICH IT USUALLY IS, THEN WE'RE OUT OF LUCK. IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE MOST COMMON REASON WOMEN ARE DRY, IT'S BECAUSE WE AREN'T GIVEN THE TIME WE NEED TO GET OUR ENGINES REVVED." - DR. SHERRY
