Sex Ed with DB: smart, science-backed sex education

Ready to Actually Make Money as a Sex Educator? Introducing the Sex Educator Business Lab. Business education for sex educators — finally. APPLY HERE BY 2/1/26!
If you've been building content, supporting people, and showing up as a sex educator — but still feel unsure how to turn that work into reliable income — you're not behind. You're just missing information no one ever taught you.
Most of us were trained in education and care, not brand strategy, sponsorships, or monetization. The result? Guessing, undercharging, burnout, and the belief that financial instability is just "part of the work." It's not.
That's why DB and Emily Zawadzki created the Sex Educator Business Lab — a 3-month group cohort for sex educators who are ready to take their brand seriously and build sustainable income through brand partnerships. DON'T WAIT! APPLY NOW BY 2/1/26!

So, what even is testosterone -- and why do so many menopausal women swear by it? DB and her mom Dr. Rebecca Levy-Gantt dive into a recent New York Times article "I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive — and Then Some" by Susan Dominus. What does testosterone actually do? Who could benefit from taking it? What are the risks? And why are the only people who can easily access it cis men? (You know why.)
GUEST DETAILS
Dr. Rebecca Levy-Gantt is an obstetrician and gynecologist who has been taking care of women of all ages for more than thirty years. She is on LinkedIn, and her practice website is Premierobgynnapa.com.

Today, we bring you an episode from one of our favorite pods, The Longest Shortest Time — featuring DB as a guest!
 
As the daughter of an OBGYN, Danielle Bezalel learned all about vaginas — but pleasure wasn't part of the conversation. Now she's on a mission to help people prioritize pleasure. Tune in as she shares the incident that motivated her to become a sex educator, her own struggles with birth control, the orgasm experiment she did on herself, and tips for getting in the mood as a busy parent.
About The Longest Shortest Time
The Longest Shortest Time is an award-winning show hosted by Hillary Frank about the surprises and absurdities of parenthood and reproductive health. But you don't have to be a parent to listen!

In this very different -- and very difficult -- episode, DB sits down with Mia Schachter of Consent Wizardry to talk all about consent. But what DB gets is not what she expected.
Please note that this episode contains difficult and potentially triggering conversations around consent. This episode touches on discussions and experiences of consent violations, as well as a perspective that might trigger feelings or memories of victim blaming for some listeners.
Be sure to listen through the Pleasure Preview and Afterglow of this episode, where DB talks about her perspectives on consent and this conversation, as well as giving some vital resources.
Please do not seek out our guest from this episode for any form of harassment or criticism based on this episode or on behalf of Sex Ed with DB. Online or not, harassment, bullying, and dogpiling are never okay, and we don't condone it. This episode is an invitation for discussion and internalization -- not an invitation to discredit, disparage, or defame anyone involved.
