#483 How to Get Bigger Bits with Susan Bratton

In this re-released episode of Shameless Sex, hosts Amy and April welcome back their longtime favorite guest, sex educator Susan Bratton, to dive into the topic of 'bigger bits'—not as a pursuit of vanity, but as a tool for enhanced pleasure, health, and longevity. Susan breaks down the science and practice behind using pumps and other devices to reverse age-related atrophy in both male and female genitalia, emphasizing that increased blood flow leads to better arousal, more intense orgasms, and improved tissue health. She shares her personal journey of transforming her own sexual vitality through techniques like clitoral and penile pumps, O shots (PRP), red light therapy, and vibratory cross-training. The conversation challenges societal stigma around male enhancement and highlights the parallels between cosmetic procedures and sexual wellness, arguing that self-care through these methods is both valid and empowering. The hosts also offer practical advice for couples on maintaining connection during long-term intimacy, including using the app Attuned, creating themed road trips, and embracing silent moments together. The episode is packed with actionable insights: for women, using vulva pumps and vaginal rejuvenation devices to restore tissue plumpness and lubrication; for men, using FDA-cleared vacuum erection devices to increase girth and length, with protocols to avoid injury. Susan stresses that these tools are not for everyone—especially those with severe circulatory issues—but are safe, effective, and far more affordable than surgery. The hosts emphasize that body autonomy is key: whether you want a bigger clit, a bigger dick, or simply better function, the choice is yours. They close with a heartfelt reminder that pleasure is a lifelong journey, and shameless exploration—supported by science and self-love—is the ultimate goal.
