Welcome back to another episode of Mindfully Drifting!
In today's episode, I am joined again with my good friend Lindsie to talk about sex, contraception, STI's, menstrual cycles and losing my virginity.
We discuss how most school systems fail to educate students on sex and why these conversations are vital.
Lindsie speaks about her PhD studies, and I tell 101 stories about all my sexual experiences!
Please know that all opinions are our own. We are aware that we have only touched such a small part of this subject, and there will be so many more conversations stemming from this one, it is hard to speak in depth in such a small amount of time.
As there is so much sadness happening in the world today, I wanted to bring you a light-hearted topic. However, I still want to share some charities where you can send money to help those in Afghanistan and Haiti. If you can think of any more reliable sources, please let me know, and I will add them below.
