Listen To Your Elders May 10, 2016

Show notes

Why is masturbation still considered taboo or less-than-sex more than 20 years after Dr. Joycelyn Elders was forced to step down as Bill Clinton's Surgeon General after suggesting we should tell young people that solo sex was a great way to be sexual without getting or giving HIV? Jaclyn asks the legendary woman herself that very question, and lots more. Dr. Elders' answers will surprise you, make you laugh, and make you angry, in all the right ways. Plus there's watermelon.
