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

Poppy is joined by author and founder of Dope Black Dads to talk about fatherhood and the social, economic and emotional impact it has on men. They also discuss the changing role of men in society, the concept of 'fear parenting' and Marvyn flips the script by asking Poppy a question about her own father.

Poppy Revisits... Charithra Chandran

Poppy and Rubina are joined by Brown Girl royalty, Jameela Jamil, to discuss many things: like, how to have good sex, how your body image impacts your libido and the concept of being a “Girl’s Girl”.

What makes someone a “Girl’s Girl”? Who decides who makes the cut? And does Jameela consider herself one?

Jameela first caught Poppy and Rubina's attention while presenting T4, she was the cool and aloof girl everyone wanted to be - and now she's the cool and not-so-aloof Hollywood star everyone wants to be. Why was she, in her own words, a misogynistic slut-shamer? And how did she grow from her mistakes?
