About this episode

New research released today from women’s Health Victoria is showing a sad state of affairs for how people see their genitalia in 2024.

The research, which includes a nationally representative YouGov survey of more than 1000 Australians with a labia, found that porn and the 'online world' are having a significant impact on young people's anxiety and shame around their vulva and labia.

In this episode, we speak with the longest serving Dolly Doctor and Labia Library ambassador, Dr Melissa Kang.
