The Purple Pawedcast

This week's episode features advice on having great sex by Dr. Stacy Friedman.  Dr. Stacy is a clinical sexologist, podcaster, and Certified Sex Coach.  We discuss topics as weighty as why we only learn about the negative aspects of sex, how teaching your partner what makes you happy is your gift to them, and why alliteration with P is the best there is.

What is The Purple Pawedcast?

Welcome to The Purple Pawedcast, where we unpack the complexities of gender, identity, and what it truly means to be human—without the academic jargon (okay, maybe just a little, but only the fun kind).

Curated by Amethysta Herrick. Ph.D., this pod is where science, philosophy, and lived experience collide to challenge assumptions and spark new perspectives. Whether you’re here to explore your own identity, stay informed on the latest research, or just enjoy a deep dive into the human experience, we deliver thoughtful, engaging, and refreshingly honest discussions. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just real conversations about who we are and how we navigate the world. Dive in, stay curious, and let’s rethink identity together.
