From Dirty Talk to the A to Z of Sex Toys, Poppy and Rubina confess all the funny and intimate details of their sex lives. A South Asian woman still can’t talk openly about her sex life, but Poppy and Rubina are determined to change that, beginning with their own experiences. 
 
In this new series of Brown Girls Do It Too, Poppy is experiencing online dating for the first time ever after ending a decade long relationship and Rubina is navigating her relationship with sex after having her first child. 

They continue to break taboos and ask difficult questions such as “Has BDSM become passé?” “Are younger men better in bed?”, or “Is the baby monitor the ultimate mood killer?”. 

Brown Girls Do it Too is a raucous celebration of sex, love, heartbreak and friendship.

Brown Girls Do It Too

After six incredible seasons of sex chat (and so much more!), Poppy and Rubina bring the curtain down on Brown Girls Do It Too. They share their highlights, what the podcast has meant to them and read emotional letters to each other – expect a few tears. 

Thank you for listening to the podcast and sharing your dilemmas with the Shagony Aunties.

Keeping it Fluid with Bishi

Kate Moss once said 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. She was wrong. So why do Poppy and Rubina even care about their weight? And are they the only ones?

Why are we like this even when we know it's wrong? Poppy and Rubina chew the fat on why skinny is such a preoccupation for them both.
