Happy Masturbation Month! Elite Daily Sex & Dating editor Iman joins us to talk about self-love, the impact that writing about sex has had on her sex life, being basic and loving it, the obsession with chill, getting started with anal play, and so much more. Iman and Lauren also have a very real heart-to-heart about their respective struggles with disordered eating and the role that "detox" teas played in the cycle. You can find Iman's beautiful writing on Elite Daily, Bustle, Teen Vogue, and Man Repeller, and make sure to give her a follow at @imanharirikia.
Iman is involved with legislative efforts to make detox teas and other dangerous diet pills illegal to sell to minors. If you or someone you know is battling an eating disorder, there are so many resources for you. My DMs are always open, and you can call the National Eating Disorder hotline at (800) 931-2237, or visit https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org.
