139: pregnancy sex, reconnecting with friends, lesbian domestic violence stat

this week: no sex during pregnancy, a viral lesbian domestic violence statistic gets fact-checked against the actual CDC study, and advice on reconnecting with an old friend after years of silence.

cam and tar catch up on tiktok shop hauls, FTM fertility acronyms, wedding invite etiquette, and cam's maiden voyage into titanic + magicians lore. then we dig into a tiktok claim about domestic violence rates in lesbian relationships — what the CDC's 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey actually found, why the popular stat is misread, and what it actually says about IPV across bi, lesbian, gay, and straight couples. we close with a PP letter from a 21 y/o autistic listener navigating reconnecting with a childhood friend after a family health scare.

topics: pregnancy sex, sexless pregnancy, lesbian domestic violence statistics, CDC intimate partner violence study, queer relationship stats, reconnecting with old friends, friendship after autism, tiktok shop, FTM fertility
