Would be easier if we didn’t have to be naked when we do! Sexual health experts Martha Kempner and Logan Levkoff help you learn how to “own your awkwardness” and get the care you need.
If you’re a sexually active person— or even if you’re not right now—you probably have questions about your sexual health. Like, should I be tested for STIs? Which ones? Or what are my options for preventing pregnancy? You also might have questions about your libido and why it’s so low…or so high, and whether that’s normal. Or why sex is painful, or getting an erection is so difficult. It’s not always easy to bring these topics up, and it may not be clear exactly what questions you should be asking about your sexual health.
So how do you overcome your own hesitancy or embarrassment and start that conversation with your healthcare provider? That’s what we’re talking about today on this episode of ASHA’s Sex+Health podcast. To help us out with this conversation we have two sexual health experts—Martha Kempner and Logan Levkoff.
You can watch the conversation above or you can listen below. This episode is part of ASHA’s Sex+Health podcast, which features interviews with medical professionals and experts in the field of sexuality with the goal of helping people take charge of their sexual health and understand its importance to overall well being.

Sue Johanson, perhaps Canada’s most famous sex educator of all time, died in June at the age of 92. Johanson was known for her clear advice and her sense of humor.
A new paper suggests that there are biological and evolutionary reasons that we masturbate and looks to our ape ancestors for evidence. There is evidence starting around 40 million years ago that the ancestors of all monkeys and apes did indeed masturbate.
Whether we’re attracted to the opposite gender, the same gender or both, the truth is: We learn how to experience sexual pleasure for pleasure’s sake by understanding our own sexual desires and responses.
ASHA believes that all people have the right to the information and services that will help them to have optimum sexual health. We envision a time when stigma is no longer associated with sexual health and our nation is united in its belief that sexuality is a normal, healthy, and positive aspect of human life.
