Summary

We are joined by the sex positive Dr. Tanaya who talks to us about common mistakes/ misconceptions that vagina-owners often have in regards to their reproductive health. Here are the topics/ questions we dive into: 1. What causes your uterus and cervix to change over time 2. Do menstrual cups cause prolapse? 3. Do vaginas stretch or get loose if you have a lot of sex? 4. Tips for calming medical anxiety 5. What are common misconceptions about orgasms, specifically for vulva owners? 6. Does penis size matter? 7. Is hair removal dangerous? What’s better: Shaving? Waxing? Laser 8. Does not wearing a bra really make your boobs saggy? 9. Do vibrators de-sensitize your clitoris? 10. Tips for prime sexual health!! Remember: learning about and understanding your body is a form of SELF-LOVE. Dr. Tanaya is a medic who is passionate about sexual and reproductive health, and likes to put the ‘fun’ in fundamental sex ed! Having amassed almost a million followers, she focuses on busting sexual health myths, and creating candid, engaging, & informative conversations around these “shushed” topics. After studying medicine in India, Dr. Tanaya then got a masters in assisted reproductive technologies at the University of Oxford, where she was surprised to see the many many medical myths amongst her highly educated peers! This inspired her to start her Instagram channel, @Dr_Cuterus, where she uses fairytales, mannequins, fun GIFs, and hilariously relatable examples to talk about complex medical & sexual education topics, all wrapped up with an inclusive and gender-neutral bow — a safe place where no topic is too taboo to discuss!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast. I'm your host, Mary Jilkovsky. I'm an author,
0:07.7	speaker, and all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:17.7	Hey, self-lovers, before we dive into today's podcast episode, I want to make sure you know about my two books on self-love.
0:25.3	If you're struggling with body image or self-acceptance, then I highly recommend you check out my first book, The Gift of Self-Love.
0:32.5	It's a comprehensive workbook to help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to love who you are.
0:38.4	You can get it wherever books are sold by searching for The Gift of Self-Love, or go to my website,
0:43.8	maryscup of tea.com slash book. Thousands of you have read and dove in into The Gift of Self-Love.
0:50.6	The reviews are just incredible, so many five-star reviews and I'm so forever grateful that it
0:56.8	has touched your lives in such a big way. After publishing the gift of self-love and reading all
1:02.2	your positive feedback, I noticed that many of you asked me for a tool that would help you
1:06.9	build a daily practice of self-love into your life, which is why I decided to create a new
1:13.4	self-love journal, 100 days of self-love. It's got 100 journaling prompts that cover all areas of life,
1:20.8	body, identity, purpose, relationships, emotions, and more. So you can think of this as a metaphorical multivitamin for self-love.
1:29.9	You can get the journal wherever books are sold as well by searching for 100 days of self-love
1:35.1	or go to maryscup of tea.com slash journal. These two books, the gift of self-love, the workbook,
1:42.3	and 100 days of self-love, the journal, are complementary to one another, so the content does not overlap.
1:48.5	It just depends on what you want or need at this point in your life.
1:52.6	It's my mission to share all the self-love tools with you, so I hope that both my books and this podcast can help you do just that.
2:06.2	Oh. both my books and this podcast can help you do just that. Hello, Dr. Tenea, welcome to the podcast.
2:10.3	Hello, hello.
2:10.9	I'm so excited to be here.
2:12.7	Thank you so much for making it work.
