Time for an all-new episode of Undressed, guys!

Thanks for your patience as the podcast went on accidental hiatus. To make it up to you, we’ve got a real doozy today: Polly Rodriguez, founder and CEO of Unbound, and our first female guest! Unbound is a subscription service like Birchbox…but for sex toys. And yes, if you listen closely, you will actually be able to hear me blush through your headphones at more than a few points.

If reading the above makes you think, This episode isn’t for me, then this episode is definitely for you. As Polly puts it, “The more we can lean into that awkward, icky feeling of ‘This is embarrassing and I’m vulnerable and I hate it,’ the better off we all are.” And when it comes to discussing sexuality – your own, your partner’s, your parents.. – I feel confident that we all know that feeling she’s talking about.
