May is Mental Health Awareness month, we want to kick things off by discussing mental health and sexuality, specifically, OCD. Current estimates say that approximately 1 in 40 adults (roughly 2.3% of the population) have OCD, and very little research has been done about how the disorder and the medication often used to treat it affects sexuality. This week, we dove into some research about OCD, the SSRIs often prescribed to treat them, and Katy shares her own personal story.
Two self-described Bottoms discussing sex, relationships, pop culture, current events and everything in between.

*TRIGGER WARNING* This episode contains discussion around the topics of consent and sexual assault.
For the purpose of this week's episode we stick more to the Fart Facts about Sexsomnia along with some personal stories from our past and present sleepy time sex lives. This is a real sleep disorder without much research behind it (yet) and while we want to dive in, we want to be respectful of anyone who might be sensitive to the issue.

Warning: SPOILERS! (If you haven't watched the series and still plan to, we recommend checking out a different BB episode until you've had a chance to catch up!)
We were eager to watch Netflix's "Bonding" as soon as the series premiered on the streaming service. Since the show centers around so many parallel themes to our Podcast, we smelled a recap & review right off the bat! It's precious, progressive and hysterical. If you're comfortable with sexual themes, cum shots and sexually liberated characters - you should carve out some time to watch this series.
