ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this season two opener of the PolySoCal Podcast, Alonzo Banx sits down with Carolyn Eagle, founder of Betty’s Toy Box and a certified sex educator, for a conversation about adult pleasure, sex education, body knowledge, and how the sex toy industry has changed. Carolyn shares how her background in publishing, sexual politics, women’s history, and feminism led her to build an online shop that felt more approachable, less tacky, and less shame-based than the adult stores she saw around her. The conversation moves through toy safety, silicone, aging bodies, menopause, male toys, AI-driven sex tech, censorship, and how couples can bring toys into the bedroom without fear or insecurity. More than a product conversation, this episode is about how little most adults were taught about their bodies, and how shame-free education can make pleasure, communication, and exploration feel normal.
