🎙️ High Tea with Lady V – Fun Fanny Fact Friday: Molluscum Contagiosum 🎙️

This week’s Fun Fanny Fact Friday takes on a tongue-twister: Molluscum Contagiosum (say it with me: muh-LUSK-um con-TAY-juh-sum). It might sound like a Harry Potter spell, but it’s actually a harmless viral skin infection that can cause small, round, dimpled bumps — sometimes even on your lady garden.

In this bite-sized episode, I break down:
✨ What Molluscum Contagiosum is (and why it’s more annoying than dangerous)
✨ How it spreads (spoiler: skin-to-skin, often during sexy time)
✨ What the bumps look like and where they show up
✨ How it’s diagnosed and treated (yes, your doctor can zap, freeze, or cream them away)
✨ The do’s and don’ts to stop it spreading — including why you should put down the razor!

Molluscum might be contagious, but it’s not scary — and by the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to spot it, say it, and stop it.

Episode Title: Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder: When Your Bits Don’t Get the Memo

Episode Overview
This week on High Tea with Lady V, we’re diving into one of the rarest and most misunderstood conditions in women’s health: Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD). And no — it’s not as fun as it sounds. Imagine your genitals deciding to have a rave without your consent, complete with throbbing, pulsing, and even spontaneous orgasms… but without any desire or relief. Brutal.

We’ll break down what PGAD really is, how it’s different from hypersexuality, what it feels like, and why awareness is so important.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• 🔹 PGAD 101 — what it is, when it was discovered, and why it’s so rare
• 🔹 PGAD vs. Hypersexuality — the crucial difference between unwanted arousal and excessive desire
• 🔹 Who it affects — why it’s mostly studied in women (but men aren’t excluded)
• 🔹 Symptoms & sensations — from throbbing and tingling to relentless, unrelieved orgasms
• 🔹 Possible causes — pelvic blood vessel issues, cysts, nerve dysfunction, meds, and mental health links
• 🔹 Treatment options — medications, pelvic floor therapy, psychotherapy, distraction techniques, and more
• 🔹 The impact — how PGAD interferes with relationships, self-esteem, and daily life

Why This Episode Matters
PGAD may only affect around 1% of women (that we know of), but the impact is huge. It’s debilitating, isolating, and rarely spoken about because of shame and stigma. By shining a light on it, we’re opening the door for more conversations, more awareness, and hopefully more research and treatment options.

Resources & Links Mentioned in the Episode:

• Cleveland Clinic overview of PGAD
• Research by Leiblum & Nathan (2001), the first to identify PGAD (originally called PSAS)
• Pelvic health and sexual health specialists who are working to raise awareness

💌 Let’s keep the conversation going!

Episode 3, Season 2 – High Tea with Lady V
"Perimenopause, Menopause & What the Actual F it’s Doing to Your Skin"

Hello my beautiful Lady Gardens,

Pour yourself a cuppa (or something stronger) - this week we’re diving face-first into one of the biggest head-f*cks of midlife: what perimenopause and menopause are doing to our skin, and why it feels like it’s happening overnight.

From dehydrated prune vibes to jowls that seem to appear out of nowhere, I’m breaking down exactly why your face hasn’t betrayed you - your hormones have.

In this episode:

• The five key processes behind skin aging during perimenopause & menopause
• Why inflammation is your skin’s hormonal drama queen
• How estrogen loss affects hydration, collagen, elastin, bone & fat pads
• The truth about skincare, injectables, and treatments that actually help
• My go-to products, ingredients & in-clinic favourites
• Skincare marketing BS you can stop falling for
• The one thing you must do for your skin no matter what: sunscreen

We’ll talk real talk — no anti-aging fluff, no miracle-cream lies — just evidence-based strategies mixed with my signature no-bullshit humour (and the occasional George Clooney reference).

Whether you’re in the middle of hot flushes or just want to get ahead of the hormonal storm, this episode will arm you with the knowledge to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and as fabulous as possible in Acts 2 and 3 of life.

Links & resources mentioned:

• My full skincare product list (Instagram & website)
• Images of bone loss & fat pad changes
• My Tretinoin/Retinol starter protocol
• HRT & skin health info

Remember ladies: Knowledge is power. Power is wisdom. And a wise vagina is an informed vagina.

But seriously… trust me on the sunscreen.
