In this episode Jessy and Rebekah talk all about MERKINS! To be honest, there really isn’t all that much information out there on merkins which is not terribly shocking. But! We did find an interesting connection between merkins and Jared Leto! But you’ll have to listen to find out!! 03:00: Donate to us on glow.fm/welcometomyvagina so we can continue to bring you the content you love! Seriously, it really helps. 05:00: Want to know more about crabs (and other STIs)? Check out our most recent episode, STI 101! 07:45: Actually, Rebekah was talking about Gossamer from the Looney Tunes. This information was gathered via Google search terms “big orange guy covered in hair” and voila!  08:00: OMG speaking of The Lorax, did you know that The Lorax was actually banned from at least one school in California because it was seen as an effort by craaaaazy environmentalists to brainwash children against the logging industry.  08:30: Get all caught up on body hair and the devilish razer industry in this old school episode.  10:00: According to this 2011 article from phys.org, multiple organizations such as the EPA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology worked to phase mercury thermometers out due to the environmental impacts as well as the effect of the metal on human health if the thermometer is broken and the mercury is accidentally ingested.  11:13: Here is the article we found that talks about the coining of the term “beaver” to mean vagina. There isn’t too much evidence of the term actually appearing before a little diddy was written about it in 1927. 12:12: You can buy us the domain name merkinworld.com! Seriously, such a steal! 15:30: Check out this article from the website Cinema Blend all about the ridiculous rules about full frontal nudity in film. It is hilarious. And also really, really dumb. 17:20: Just like merkins for real folk, the pubic hair attached to sex dolls really varies in quality depending on how much the doll retails for. In the more higher end dolls, real hair is used to make the experience more authentic. Contact us! Watch us! Love us! Support us at glow! Check out our new Medium page!
