The Art (and Science) of Sex Prep

The Art (and Science) of Sex Prep

Featured Cocktail: Whiskey Sunrise 🥃
Recipe: 2 oz whiskey, 4 oz orange juice, ½ oz grenadine. Garnish with an orange slice and cherry.


Welcome back to Sippin On Love! Season 3 kicks off with the theme “My Body, My Choice”—and we’re starting where honesty meets intimacy: sex preparation.

From bottom prep rituals (fiber, timing, and tools) to top responsibilities like condoms, lube, and safety, we’re keeping it real, raw, and respectful. We also break down the stigma around STIs, dig into current sexual health research, and explore how choice, communication, and self-awareness transform intimacy.

Because preparation isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, intentional, and yes… a love language too.

So pour yourself a Whiskey Sunrise, press play, and join us as we sip through the science, the stigma, and the stories that keep love honest.
