Why an entire generation is having less sex: the isolation epidemic where teens sit next to each other scrolling instead of connecting—and why even being in the same room doesn't mean being together anymore. The porn conversation most parents get wrong: instead of saying "this isn't good for you" (which teens reject), try "watching this is a vote for exploitation"—because teenagers care more about justice than their own wellbeing. The five principles that work for every parenting crisis—from catching your kid watching porn to finding your vibrator: relationship, reflection, regulation, rules, and repair. Why your reaction when your nine-year-old feels aroused by porn determines whether they carry shame for years—and the exact words to say instead. The pronoun and gender panic parents are feeling: why we don't have the data yet, the pendulum always swings back, and why being curious beats being certain. The magic wand incident: what to text your mortified teenager after she's caught with your vibrator—and why "I'm here with any questions" is enough. The truth about love that Dr. Pressman wishes she'd known younger: love is not anxiety.

0:00.0	Okay, so let's talk about one of my favorite ways to upgrade your solo or part of play.
0:04.8	It is the Hera by Jeju.
0:06.9	It's a sleek, powerful rabbit vibrator that's basically the best of both worlds.
0:11.6	It's incredible for internal stimulation and those rumbly, mind-blowing clitter vibes Jeju is known for.
0:17.8	Here's what I love.
0:18.6	The external ears are powered by the same motor as the
0:22.3	Mimi, which you've heard me rave about before. I love the Mimi. And the internal arm delivers

1:34.0	Eliza Pressman, and before you skip this, because you're not a parent, hear me out. This conversation
