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.

Social media, dating apps, and DMs
Thursday Aug 16, 2018
Thursday Aug 16, 2018
I wanted to do this episode for several reasons:
I think knowledge is power. Yes, very School House Rock, but I think if you know better you can do better.
My own experiences have weirded me out, and my friends and family who I have talk to about this express similar sentiments.
My experience with working with people around difficult sexual problems including sexual entitlements.
What is sexual entitlement and how does it fit into this conversation?
Friends descriptions of their experiences.
How this actually feels vs. the intended message.
So... what's the conclusion of this? If you need help figuring out how to begin a relationship or social interactions with others, reach out for help!!!
For instance, rather than saying in a DM, "Hey beautiful", then sending them a dick pic, you could say "Hey, I saw your profile and I saw you like ___. I like ___ too.
What is your favorite thing about ___. This type of communication will typically get you farther than commenting on our bodies. Just like with catcalling, it does not make us feel flattered, it makes us feel afraid.
