This week we’ve pulled in Dr. DeShawn Taylor, MD, MSc, FACOG, to help us separate fact from fiction as we dive headfirst into the current phenomena known as “WAP” The hit song from Cardi B and Meg Thee Stallion has inspired thousands of TicToks, fueled an avalanche of misogyny & vagina hate online, and sparked a ton of discussions about what a “healthy” vagina is, and just about wetness overall, and we’re going to talk about all of it.

Dr. Taylor is a board-certified OB/GYN, clinical professor, women’s health and reproductive rights advocate, and owner of Desert Star Family Planning in Phoenix, Arizona. Desert Star Family Planning offers fully integrated women’s health and sexual health services, including abortion.
