This poddy is full of real chats, with real people, about real shit. So give it a spin if you dare! My intention with The Labia Lounge is to demystify & de-stigmatise; empower & educate; laugh & get vulnerable while helping dismantle the shame around genitals, pleasure, and being a messy human through juicy conversations.

Dr Sarah Ashton is a sexual health psychologist and author with over 18 years’ experience working in trauma-informed sexual health, attachment, and complex sexual issues, so she's the perfect person to break down the topic of this episode with! The topic being PORN. We discuss porn’s potential for both positive self-discovery as well as its more challenging effects, tackling questions around porn addiction, “problematic use,” how it changes our brains, and why it’s so difficult to moderate in the age of smartphones and algorithm-driven content.

Key topics covered: Sarah's PhD research into young women's experiences with porn, including the impact on self-image, pleasure, and consent. Indicators of problematic porn use and why so many people (neurodiverse or not) find it a slippery slope. Porn's unique power due to anonymity, unlimited access, algorithmic escalation, and cultural shame around sexuality. The neurological impact of habitual porn use—how it rewires our arousal blueprint, hijacks pair bonding, and affects dopamine pathways. Hopeful strategies for re-establishing a healthier, more intentional relationship with porn, including embodied self-pleasure, imagination, and practical tools for “detoxing” and recalibrating. How societal norms and gender roles are shaped (and sometimes amplified or warped) by porn, especially for young people just starting to explore their sexuality.
