Choking was once the kinda thing you’d only come across in the world of BDSM, but now thanks to our easy access to porn it’s well and truly hit the mainstream.
A recent study discovered almost 60 per cent of female college students have been choked during sex, with a quarter having been choked by the time they’re 17.
The woman behind that study is Dr Debby Herbenick, Professor at the Indiana University School of Public Health and author of Yes, Your Kid: What Parents Need to Know About Today's Teens and Sex. Yumi Stynes caught up with Debby for the episode Choking During Sex – can it ever be safe?

Whether we like it or not our minge can sometimes be stinky as. But those smells can sometimes veer from a delicate musk to a full on fishy vag.
What causes our moot to have an odour at all though?
Entering from stage left is vaginal health expert Professor Deborah Bateson who is from the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. The professor gives Yumi and you the unabashed truth of what’s going on down there when smells turn a little sour.

Having sex can be truly daunting, it’s vulnerable and all your nooks and crannies are exposed for your partner to see. It’s no wonder we can end up reaching for that extra glass of wine to calm our anxious minds.
Would you ever consider having sex completely stone cold sober? Tawny Lara, author of Dry Humping is one woman who is doing just that. She joined Yumi Stynes to give us all the low down on how to start having great sex without the Dutch courage for the episode Sober Sex.

It’s no secret as women we’ve got a hell of a lot to be furious about. From the mental load to workplace bullying; sexism, just the patriarchy in general plus our damn hormones!
But when it comes to hormones, just how much of a part do they have to play in the extent of our rage?
Dr Jayashri Kulkarni is a Professor of Psychiatry, Director of the Health Education Research Centre at Monash University as well as a bona fide expert on hormones and women's mental health. Yumi spoke with her for the Ladies We Need To Talk episode called Female Rage – Why are we so damn angry?

Uh oh, what’s that you smell... a funky odour down below? The thought of having a stinky crotch is nightmare fuel for some women, but do we even need to worry about our musky bouquet?
The delicate aroma of our lady-garden can be affected by things like our menstrual cycle and our lifestyle but how do we tell when the stank goes from normal to full on malodorous pudenda territory and what can be done about it?
It’s time to take off those undies and confront the smelly minge in the room with your bestie Yumi by your side for support.

What happens when you want a divorce but the cost of leaving your marriage would cripple you financially?
