Have a Horny New Year!
Here are past favorites to catch you up
Hi Readers! Wishing you a wonderful New Year. This is a quick recap email of my favorite posts from this year before we ring in 2024!
Thank you so, so much for reading the ADULT SEX ED newsletter! If you’re enjoying it, please share with friends, so they can be hilariously informed.
If you’re new here: This is a weekly newsletter from me, Dani Faith Leonard , a comedy writer, film producer, and performer. It’s an extension of the live comedy show ADULT SEX ED that I’ve hosted since 2018. The show is about plugging the holes in our education as adults, so I’ll be doing just that (if you want to know more about this newsletter, here’s a description on substack). Ready to get a little smarter? Okay, let’s go!
There are a bunch of new subscribers, so I didn’t want to leave you hanging even though I’m on holiday break! So, here are some of my favorite newsletters from 2023:
CURRENT EVENTS:
No Fap, anti 🌽 and very online // Back in August, I wrote about a various sectors of the anti-p*rn movement. This one has history, conspiracy theories, and I even signed up to receive a “No Fap” handbook that promises to help you “get a new grip on life.”

The Myth of the Wandering Womb // In September, I wrote about all of the funny and awful diagnoses that women received in years past, like Hysteria. My all-time favorite fake condition—Bicycle Face. Related: The History of the Vibrator
Ancient Religions and Genders // In June, I wrote about how Ancient Judaism recognized eight genders (I got hate mail for this one, but it’s history).
WORD PLAY:
The History of Slang // In May, I wrote about historical euphemisms for vaginas and what it can tell us about the perception of women and sexuality over time.
History of Slang: Part 2 // In July, the second edition of the history of slang focused on all of the euphemisms for masturbation.
