Title How to Buy a Sex Toy Without the Overwhelm, with Cara Anders of Party with Cara

A suitcase full of sex toys, four hours of teasing texts on the drive home, and by the end of the night they never touched a single one. The anticipation did all the work. That story is exactly why tonight’s conversation matters. I’m joined by Cara Anders, self-love advocate, intimacy educator, and founder of Party with Cara, a pleasure positive brand built to help women feel confident, connected, and fully expressed. Cara has been in the intimacy space for over 12 years, and she walks me through how to actually buy a sex toy when the market is this noisy, from what quality really means, to the real history of the vibrator (it starts with doctors treating “hysteria” by hand), to why the porn industry going digital accidentally triggered a sex toy boom. We get into crystal wands, de-armoring, prostate play and why it’s still so taboo for men even though the health benefits are massive, and we go down a full rabbit hole on the etymology of words like masturbation, G-spot, P-spot, and vagina, plus thirteen historical nicknames for the vulva going back to the 1200s. This is a full, honest, explicit conversation about pleasure, confidence, and buying your first toy without the anxiety spiral. Listener discretion advised, 18+.
