The Soft Science

I’m Dr. Erika Miley (Dr. E) — licensed therapist, clinical sexologist, professor, and your favorite neurodivergent bisexual MILF with a brain full of research and a mouth that doesn’t know when to stop.
This show is for the curious, the kinky, the overstimulated, and the over-it.
We’ll talk about sex without purity politics, trauma without turning it into your whole personality, and desire without apology.
Because here’s the thing: so many of us — especially women — are living in bodies that were never taught to rest, feel, or want.
We’re raising kids, running businesses, surviving late-stage capitalism, and trying to remember what turns us on besides iced coffee and fictional fae warriors.
So we’re going to talk about it all —
Why Romantasy is the cultural Prozac we didn’t know we needed.
Why erotica can feel like therapy when porn just… doesn’t.
What porn women actually watch.
And what we know now about perimenopause, hormones, and pleasure that our mothers were never told.
This isn’t therapy.
This isn’t porn.
This is The Soft Science Show.
And yes — you can stim while you listen.
I do.

Welcome to The Soft Science
Wednesday Oct 29, 2025
Wednesday Oct 29, 2025
Where pleasure is data, shame gets dissected, and your executive dysfunction is just another reason to question everything you've been told.
I'm Dr. Erika Miley—licensed therapist, clinical sexologist, professor, and your favorite neurodivergent bisexual MILF with a brain that won't shut up and a mouth that refuses to cooperate (ask any teacher I've ever had).
This space is for:
The curious and the kinky
The overstimulated and the over it
Women over 35 who are done playing small
We're talking about sex without purity politics, trauma without making it your whole identity, and desire without a single apology.
Because here's what I know: So many of us are living in bodies that were never taught to rest, feel, or want. We're out here raising kids, running businesses, surviving late-stage capitalism, and trying to remember what turns us on besides iced coffee and morally grey book boyfriends.
The Soft Science is where we unpack all of it—your mental health, your sexual health, and everything in between. No shame, no bullshit, just research-backed real talk for women who are ready to reclaim their pleasure.
Previously known as Sex Talk with Erika Miley—now evolved, expanded, and even less filtered.
Let's get into it. 💋
