EP381 - No Question Off Limits: A Sex Educator Tells All

Welcome to episode 381 of Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to welcome Danielle Bezalel, MPH. Dainelle is a sex educator and podcaster, and in this conversation, she highlights the importance of medically accurate sex education, the challenges and rewards of teaching sex ed to different age groups, addressing myths and misinformation, and the role of consent and pleasure in education.  

 

Danielle Bezalel wears many hats as the brains behind the Sex Ed with DB Podcast. This intersectional, feminist podcast is a platform where Bay Area voices share their real stories, aiming to revolutionize the way we discuss sex.  

 

In 2014, she proudly graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Film and Media Studies. Later, she pursued her Masters of Public Health from Columbia University, specializing in sexuality and reproductive health, which she successfully completed in May 2023. 

 

When she's not busy with her podcast, Danielle enjoys showcasing her singing talents as part of her folk band, Happnstance, based in San Fransisco. Her passions extend to documentaries that drive social change, empowering young women through sex education, exploring the world through travel, and indulging in all kinds of chocolate.
