YNOT Health Podcast: Recent Episodes
YNOT Health
YNOT Health is an organization dedicated to raising awareness surrounding health issues in Southeast Asia. On our podcast, we'll be exploring various health topics each week through open and honest discussions with members of our team and Southeast Asian youth.
We've got another long episode for you this week! YNOT COO Ryan talks with three college students from Singapore and Myanmar: Joash, Kaung, and Bhone. They discuss everything from the male body standards dictated by Kpop idols to the relationship between outward appearances in men and the way they're received on dating apps and in society.
Join us for a deep late night chat about social media and its influence on our body image and self esteem. We discuss Instagram culture, dating apps, Asian parents and colorism, and learning to love your body despite all of this. As a group of South and Southeast Asian women growing up in the age of Instagram and influencers, we hope that you can resonate with parts of our conversation and know that you're not alone.
In our last episode as part of the Sexual Health module, we talk about discussions with friends regarding sex, female pleasure and orgasms, and the difference between sex in real life vs. the media. Check out sexologist Shannon Boodram (https://www.youtube.com/c/shannontboodram) for more information on female orgasms.
Today we discuss our first times, resources for finding out more about sex, and ways to gauge the comfort level of your sexual partner. Check out Shannon Boodram’s Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/shannontboodram) where she shares advice on everything sex and intimacy related!
This week we discuss establishing boundaries with both partners and strangers, contraceptive options, and the pressure surrounding losing your virginity.
In YNOT Health's very first podcast in the Sexual & Reproductive Health series, we invite a group of South East Asian university students to speak about their experiences with the importance of speaking about sex openly, the stigma surrounding sex, and how to explore sex safely.
