Sex Ed with DB: smart, science-backed sex education

by Danielle Bezalel, MPH: Sex Educator | Pleasure Expert

How do I stay in the moment and truly enjoy sex? What's stopping me from orgasming with my partner? I'm ready to explore my kinks and fantasies in the bedroom; where do I start? You and your fantasies aren't broken -- but your sex ed probably was. I'm DB, sex educator with a Masters of Public Health and host of Sex Ed with DB -- your go-to podcast for smart, science-backed sex education, featuring trusted insights from conversations with top experts about everything you've been too scared to ask about sex. And this season? We're going ALL IN ON PLEASURE. Solo pleasure. Partnered pleasure. Orgasms. Porn. Queer joy. Kinks, sex toys, fantasies—you name it. We're here to help you feel more informed, more empowered, and a whole lot more turned on to help YOU have the best sex. -- Sex Ed with DB is your go-to podcast for smart, science-backed sex education—delivering trusted insights from top experts on sex, sexuality, and pleasure. Empowering, inclusive, and grounded in real science, it's the sex ed you've always wanted. ABOUT SEX ED WITH DB: Take a second and think back to the sex education you had in school. Did it prepare you to have a healthy and happy relationship with sex and identity? If it was anything like DB's, it was stigmatizing, judgmental, and totally unhelpful. But not to worry, the experts are here to offer the sex ed you wish you had. We cover an array of sex education topics like orgasms, abortion, pornography, fetishes and kinks, pleasure, consent and boundaries, healthy relationships, LGBTQIA+ mental health and sexual health, LGBTQIA+ relationships, coming out, sexual dysfunction and pain during sex, birth control, sex in the media, Queer stories, and so much more. We believe that everyone deserves comprehensive, inclusive, pleasure-centered, feminist, medically-accurate sex education. On the show, DB and sexual health expert guests break down your most curious sex questions like "Am I pregnant?" or "How can I have a stronger orgasm?" or "How do I keep the spark alive in a long-term relationship?" or "How often should I be having sex?" or "What are common sexual fetishes?" or "What are the benefits of masturbation?" Tune in for expert insights and candid conversations redefining sexual health and empowerment! -- ABOUT DB: Danielle Bezalel (she/her), aka DB, has a Master of Public Health from Columbia University with expertise in sexuality, sexual, and reproductive health. DB is a leading voice in inclusive and medically accurate sex education. She tackles taboo topics with humor and expertise because no question is TMI when it comes to learning more about your body and pleasure. With 10 years of sex ed experience and features in Netflix, Mashable, Bustle, SELF, and more, DB empowers listeners to challenge taboos, rethink outdated narratives, and embrace sexual health and pleasure with confidence.
