Happy Monday, lovers, and welcome to sex at work, a podcast that is about work that is sex-related,

or in some episodes, sex that is work-related.

All in an effort to think about the sexual culture that we live in.

I am your host, Wyo Lee, and today is another wonderful interview with a woman who is making the world a sexier, more loving place, basically by broadening

if you're on your period or if your partner has a scratchy beard and you're feeling like physically sensitive, or, you know, if somebody's interested in rimming, but they're concerned about sort of the downsides of that. Or, you know, if people have faced things in their past that makes it really uncomfortable to have somebody up close and personal like that.

Laurels are a really

simple way to just slip on a silky little panty and be able to experience all of those wonderful

sensations of oral and Fortby. So I would say my sex at work origin story is back when I was in

college, I was a peer sex educator. And I taught about the dental dam. I

actually have one sitting right here. So dental dams, I imagine that most of your listeners know,
