Another bonus episode coming at cha (because you guys keep asking for more PB 💕). This week we’re tackling all the juicy, messy, and real questions you sent in. From situationships who body shame but keep you hooked, to PCOS and the struggle of balancing hormones, stress and infertility —we’re covering it all. We get into dating older men (and big age gaps 👀), emotionally unavailable guys with mixed signals, divorced single moms, and whether that summer fling is worth your time.

Plus: advice for someone who’s never had a boyfriend and navigating body insecurities when you feel like you’re just being used. We’ll also talk about the pressure of timelines, staying open to what’s coming into your life, and even give some bride-to-be advice for a listener planning her August 2026 wedding.

This week on Pretty Basic we’re getting real about sex with special guests Dr. Cory Pedersen (founder of Orgasm Lab) and Amanda Champion (lead researcher).

From the psychology behind dick pics (including the recent one Alisha got 👀), to the orgasm gap, to the myths and taboos we all grew up with—nothing is off-limits. We talk about why men send them in the first place, how sexting plays into relationships, and what it really means for intimacy. The conversation also dives into the under-education of anatomy, where female nerve endings actually are, the truth about “size,” and how penis-centric masculinity ties into sexism and narcissism.

And yes, we’re covering it all—from frequency of sex, to toys in the bedroom, to nipple-gasms and the many different ways women can orgasm.

This week’s Pretty Basic is giving exclusive tea and a little bit of therapy. 👀 Alisha may or may not have been the whistleblower on Taylor Swift’s engagement (oops). She’s also in the middle of a real-life love triangle (yes, really), questioning long-distance relationships, and wondering if she’s… a f**boy? We’re exposing her avoidant attachment style, the signs from God she may or may not have received, and why not knowing hurts more than heartbreak itself.

Meanwhile, Remi spills on her big Nickelodeon animated debut (!!), and the girls recap their wild weekend in Miami—think drag brunch, yacht days, and plenty of chaos. Oh, and BTW… a major rebrand is happening. Say goodbye to “Alisha Marie” and hello to just “Alisha.” (Sooo sophisticated.)
