Join V.&Me in conversation with the wonderful Emily Sauer, who is a spreader of joy and the inventor of Ohnut*. 
After years of experiencing pain with deep penetration, her world changed with one crazy (brilliant) idea: What if you put a pink frosted donut on a penis to make it shorter?

This is an episode full of heart, honesty and openness where Emily shares her journey of how years of blame brought her to creating change and awareness for so many others like herself who suffer from painful sex. She started with the creation of Ohnut.

So make yourself  comfortable and join Emily and I for another amazing chat about our V's and more.

*What is Ohnut you ask? Ohnut is a soft compressible buffer made from 4 rings, that can be used together or individually to adjust when penetration feels too deep, without sacrificing sensation.  Please find link below  for more information.
