The Greatest SEXpedition

The Sexplanations community has been so amazing to me. You've afforded me a fun and consistent way to share my passion with the world and eat and have a warm, dry, shelter. I wanted to pay forward so I asked you to partner with me on a service project called the Sexplanations Road Tour. Over five months (now 6) thousands of people across 39 states and 5 countries. We gave sex education away and rallied for those who joined us to reach out even further and continue the effort. It was incredible -- more than words and pictures can explain. That being said, it was important to me that we share some of the experiences we had with you to show my heart-exploding gratitude for all of your generosity and curiosity.
Thank you!

There are lots of comments about missing us on the tour. We tried very hard to reach people -- Patreon, Facebook, Sexplanations.com, Twitter, email. I know that it is frustrating we missed each other. It may be so frustrating that cognitive dissonance kicks in and you start to think that Sexplanations isn't really that important or you don't care as much as you thought. I understand this but I don't want this to be the case. Instead can you trust that I did my very best to let people know I was coming and I too am really sad I didn't get to meet you? I would have loved to have packed houses of all of you. I care so much about you! Please be gentle with me and the tour and yourselves. It didn't work out the way we'd hoped but it was still really positive and you'll always have me here.

[@peachxtaehyung]

Dont worry about it. People shouldnt be accusing you of not caring or whatever... I guess people shouldve had social media lol

[@Fluteperson01]

I am sad but I understand that it takes so much to do this! I wish I paid a little more attention when you announced you where going on a road tour. I would have come to some Houston or San Antonio meet ups... maybe you can do it again at some point in a couple of years, as everyone needs as much sex education as possible! I’ve been watching you for years, introducing my mother, and brother to you... thank you for this I hope you had a blast... maybe you can do a reproductive rights tour where you go the the states that have the most restrictive policies! I know Texas is top ten :(

[@davidmuller4924]

How does one get ahold of you if we have a question we would like to ask?

[@johnnycu]

did you say Hudson, Ohio ?

[@shaynannigans]

So sorry I missed you in Denver. Next time!!!

[@gabycook9943]

Dr Doe is ADORABLE! She gets so excited! It's a amazing!

[@Hey_its_nathan89]

She's IRL Goals for sure

[@gabycook9943]

Oh my sweet heaven, sexpai noticed me! 😂

[@Bananeisafree]

Thank you for existing. you and all the fine people you work with...

[@sexplanations]

Thank YOU for existing!

[@RainingSaturn]

@@sexplanations you are breathtaking!!

[@bobwilliams8933]

Ok I'm in too

[@osse1n]

*Kudos for packing in so much adventure in such a short format*

[@sexplanations]

*sigh* Thank you! The production crew (3 of us) have been working for weeks on this one.

[@cowticket]

I can tell. Lots of editing. You did a great job recalling dates and locations. I was impressed by your video. I love your channel. Thanks Rick.

[@WattsTheSafeword]

Thank you for having us as part of your journey. Truly a pleasure to get to meet and chat Lindsey ❤️

[@hailithinksyourcute]

Your work is so important! I got overwhelmed and cried happy tears because so many people need this information and the fact that you gave all this energy and the team of amazing, wonderful, crazy dedicated and kind people is so heart-warming. The world can be cool sometimes.

[@adrianaavila8853]

😂 “the world can be cool sometimes” i really like that. thank you for sharing and saying that.

[@danieltomas9489]

*Baby you're such a sweet woman*

[@mauragrace4556]

So glad you came to Absinthe! So happy you enjoyed it. And even more happy that I could meet you in person and thank you for all your hard work!

[@soap_flowers552]

There's so much to say but I can't find the words...you all did a lot, showed your passion for sex ed and why it's important...basically what I'm trying to say is congratulations on this achievement you and everyone who contributed deserve 1.) A break and 2.) Some really good quality sex

[@drewlytle2281]

I currently don't make enough (unless I get promoted at work), but next year the minimum wage goes to $13.50. Whether it happens then or sooner, once I make enough I want to fund a trip to Sheri's ranch in Nevada. I could build a bond with someone that'll lead to something that could allow me to explore the sexual desires I wish to, but if not then I want to go somewhere where I can do that for certain. As an autistic, maintaining a normal friendship is hard enough, let alone something far more intimate. If I manage to finance that trip, visit Sheri's and have the experiences I've been hopeful for, I'll remember to thank you Dr. Doe for introducing that location to me.

[@kripvorlund7849]

I wish Dr. Doe had been around when I was young and confused; I figured things out in the end, but it would have been a lot more fun with information like this! Rock On Dr. D!

[@thevagilantes4072]

Dr. Doe, thank you so much not only for supporting our channel but for everything you do to make sex education more accessible. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. It is a privilege to work with you and other wonderful educators to erase the stigma surrounding sexual health. Have a lovely and restful time at home, and we hope to see you again. -The Vagilantes (Katie, Maggie, and Vaishnavi)

[@marvinrobinson1333]

Thank you Dr. Doe, sometimes Alabama can be pretty old fashioned which is a little off putting but glad yoi where able to reach and educate people. 🤗

[@maggiestout3298]

I love what you do, your work is incredibly inspiring. Keep at it for as long as it makes you happy and always stay curious!

[@LynnCindy]

That was absolutely amazing... wish I could have met you in person, but it sounds like you had the adventure of a lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us... even if it was almost at the speed of sound. LOL!

[@PhoenixBorealis]

I'm so glad that you had fun, made memories and shared an important education! I look forward to seeing what you're going to do next! :) And I'm so, so, SO glad you're all safe!

[@danieltomas9489]

*Baby you're such a sweet woman*

[@26tp]

Lindsey, it wasn't until this video that I was able to put into words why I like you and your videos so much. It's your enthusiasm for a super important subject. Thank you so much for all your work that has helped me and I'm sure millions of people.

[@oldestnerd]

Where were you 50 years ago when I needed this? Very impressive trip and sex education. Thank you for everything.

[@TheYoghurt42]

It would be awesome to hear you talk about how you tailor your talk to your audience. I'm guessing it's a bit of a different talk that you give in a university vs a high school vs a church! :)

[@LordLOC]

Not to mention where the talk is vs. all of the above. I would imagine a church in say a more liberal leaning state vs. a church in the bible belt might be a different talk :D

[@adrianaavila8853]

I would love to know that too! Great question. Audience tailoring is important. I wonder if she was prepped a bit about the folks she would be speaking to beforehand.

[@Pyroific]

your enthusiasm is infectious! I've loved every video you've made and been a subscriber ever since the first one I saw :) keep up the awesomeness!

[@margaretbrown7486]

Can you talk about how medication effects sexuality? Or how to talk to a doctor about how medication affects and individuals sexuality? I tried to use various birth control methods and I found that I struggled to talk to doctors and nurse practitioners about the severity of my side effects on birth control. When I was on depo, I had consistent bleeding longer than normal and they kept telling me it was a normal side effect on the birth control. It wasn't until I started tracking my cycle and showing my results that my side effects were not within healthy range. It was not normal to be bleeding for a month straight after the 4th shot, and it was not normal to constantly feel tired and drained. I had to physically showed them on an app (clue) to prove that what I was experiencing was not normal side effects. Thank you!

[@siggitiggi]

Again, your enthusiasm makes your work stand so much taller than it would by itself. Thank you!

[@josephsener420]

Wow, great video. I am one of the 1:9 and I think it is closer to 20% who get prostate cancer. Not only that, MINE CAME BACK, as it does for almost 50% of the surgery patients. Also, while the surgeons call 5 years cancer free a success rate, the return sequence is outside that 5 years. It is closer to 7-10 years so it isn’t counted (much to the frustration of my Chief of Surgery brother.) Also, the follow up treatment is 6800 rads of beam radiation shot through your bladder! My brother says there is a reasonable possible I will need colon reconstruction later as a result of the radiation. Keep up the great work. Your channel answers questions that people don’t even know to ask!

[@maddoglang9159]

Yasssssss! I love this channel it has given me so much confidence in my body. I love you Dr.Doe!

[@TeaTime97]

It was so wonderful to have you at SU!! Thanks again!!

[@LordLOC]

This was so great to watch. As someone fairly aged, there isn't much these days that makes me smile or even tear up. But Dr. Doe you are so energetic an enthusiastic I don't know how you do it. I know everyone says this, but you are adorable :D As a straight white male who is a big supporter of equality for everyone no matter WHAT - its sometimes hard to discuss things (especially sexuality) with other people who seem to be so closed minded. But as you've shown, just talking and showing people facts (you know, FACTS aka TRUTH) can do wonders. Keep up the amazing work you and everyone working with you do. And I'm still so glad Hank and his brother brought you on years ago to do this. :)

[@victorlozano4210]

So bummed that I missed you in Macon, GA Dr. Doe. If I had known I would have took the day off work just to meet you and Sexplanations. Love the work you do and your enthusiasm for it even more. Thank you Lindsey.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Jammed a lot on the trip and video ! Looks like you had fun

[@sexplanations]

we had SO much fun!

[@captainskyhawk4826]

Have you ever watch hentai (aka animated cartoon porn) before ?

[@ASTROTZUR]

Dear Lindsey, you're just so overwhelmingly amazing! Your vast knowledge, hope inducing open-mindedness, childlike curiosity and positivity and of course your explosive enthusiasm, these things make it look as if you have superpowers! I wish there was someone like you here in Israel, our sex-ed is horrible...

[@kujmous]

Thank you for being incredible, Dr. Doe.

[@Erratic.Eclipse]

We needed this in Alabama. There's more things that need to be explained and people's baised minds need to be educated. As a transgender ftm that identifies as bisexual, people here in the south are a lot more closed off and hateful. I'm so grateful someone like you could come and educate here!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@Thessalin]

Thank you for coming to the southeast. Everyone here needs this. You are truly going God's work.

[@PatrickPoet]

I forget sometimes that there are people who find what you do wrong. That's even though I have to meet the prejudices of my youth springing out of my forehead from time to time. Luckily - Buddhist - I know that I am not my thoughts - not just not the wacky ones, not any of them. That helps so much.

[@danieltomas9489]

*Baby you're such a sweet woman*

[@tiffanymarie2219]

You are such an inspiration, and the reason I am in school to become a sexual health educator

[@crazykev6491]

Wow!! I tried to catch you in the DC area (I’m an hour outside the city) but was couldn’t make it happen. Don’t worry Arlington bridge is always under construction and traffic sucks. But I’m glad you and crew made the trip work. I’ve been a subscriber for at least 2 years and watch every video. I love your quirky and real personally, specially the ad-libs at the end of videos. Thanks for all you do. #staycurious

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Is that why Bethesda decided to wreck it in fallout3? ;)

[@crazykev6491]

SonsOfLorgar 😂 😂

[@MyLifebyJuliaIRL]

that is amazing and beautiful keep it up everyone needs the right sex ed, blessings to you all;

[@sexplanations]

awwww, ;o)

[@Georgeilocks]

Glad to see everything that went on the sexpediton, might become a sexplanaut I love your work! I’ll definitely be sure to meet up if another trip is planned!

[@socialenigma4476]

Your energy and enthusiasm is contagious! I love it!!!

[@MomOfBoysNOLA]

Wow! That was quite a tour. Loved meeting you and the other attendees. As a mother I am encouraged that sex is becoming less taboo to speak about. I think it's important for our youth to feel comfortable talking about it and making sure their education is correct. The less taboo sex is and the more comfortable we are talking about it, I feel the less it can be used to shame others, especially victims.

[@danieltomas9489]

*Baby you're such a sweet woman*

[@abigail5441]

Oh my gosh I missed you in VA so sad 😭 but I’m also thrilled that you were able to spread knowledge I’m glad someone on the planet is so dedicated to spreading it around 🙂

[@JDDaniel19]

This is so awesome! If you do decide to do a tour again, we'd love to have you here in Missouri! In Kansas City, where I'm based, there isn't really a generalized sex-positive culture, especially in the rural areas just outside of KC (I'm originally from one of those small towns). There are a few spaces and organizations where one can find a haven of sex-positivity--we have queer-focused music and arts organizations, a Center for Inclusion, the HIMM Project devoted to HIV and PrEP education and access, and a popular drag bar! Of course we also have great barbecue! haha Thank you for all you do 💜

[@TLNineSeven]

You came by my home town this past March and I had no idea. :o That would have been a bad time for me though as I was dealing with a lot of health concerns at the time. ^^; Looks like it was an interesting and eventful journey though, thank you for sharing. :)

[@remydejohnnthemustardking4000]

Dr Doe really loves her work ,and i think its really awesome how shes out there helping others learn effectively. You didnt make it to StLouis but theres always next time. Thank you for making me aware .

[@modernmarvel]

You focused on what you love....Individuals like you are a rarity and I thank you for it. Please keep up the good work!

[@AlthenaLuna]

Bummed that I missed you coming to Maine, but it's still good that you got to talk to some folks here.

[@danieltomas9489]

*Baby you're such a sweet woman*

[@DTavona]

I hope your next outing is twice as successful. Thank you for bringing the light of knowledge to the masses.

[@johnoneil9188]

Sexpedition successful! It is such a wonderful thing you do, going out into the world to help and enlighten people, meet supporters and see the world and its people. I am sure it was not easy but it really sounds like it was worth it. Thank you, Dr. Doe!

[@jazzbob7]

A great overview of the Grand Tour. Wish you had been close to Central Illinois. I would have liked to hook up with you and seen the Trip Mobile all decorated. Have enjoyed your reports.

[@sexplanations]

Illinois is at the top of my list for the next bout. Stay curious and watch out for us on the website and twitter.

[@philipclapper268]

You went to Charlotte?!?!? I go to college in Rock Hill, can't believe I missed you! If you ever do this again and come through Charleston, South Carolina, or Charlotte during the school year, I'll definitely be there!

[@elicather8168]

I think the day I was visiting SF from San Diego was the same day you were there! And I also went to Wicked Grounds and Mr. S!!! How did I miss you?!? I wish I could have seen you guys, but I’m so glad you’re doing awesome stuff like this for those without access to information. 👍🏻🏳️‍🌈❤️

[@fredbennett9849]

Hey Dr. Doe if you ever want an overdose of wildlife Y'all come to Crystal River,FL!! Particularly in the winter. Manatees. Lots of them. You are doing great stuff that the world needs. There are too many people that are undereducated about sexuality. Keep on Truckin!!

[@ShallieDragon]

I do hope you do another road tour someday. Though I do think you should take some well-deserved time off from it before attempting round two. Like, maybe a couple years from now. Hopefully the second time will be better. =)

[@robertf3479]

Wow! You got a lot of traveling in in a very short time, got a lot done and had tons of adventure. If you ever make it back to Virginia Beach try to do it during the summer, you'll probably be more fortunate in spotting wildlife, many times wife and I have watched porpoises playing in the surf near the pier, the brief glimpse I had during this video told me the weather was overcast and cold, not really attractive for warm blooded mammals, even sea life because the sea close in to shore gets bloody cold.

[@hannahwitton]

INCREDIBLE

*Baby you're such a sweet woman*

[@KarolaTea]

Omg, the first time I heard of fiddleheads (on Japanology) I just thought... hehe... fiddleheads. I'm glad they made their way on this appropriate channel :D

[@largniew1]

Bravo! The video was absolutely wonderful and brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for you, and love what you do. Thank you for making a difference. You have a beautiful heart.

[@rjr1227]

Looks like it was a fun trip. Do you plan on another to the midwest (Nebraska)? Is this your RV....or rented...and if rented...were they cool about the wrap and putting on 16,000 miles on it? I myself would love to tour the US like you did.

[@jules6037]

Thank you so much for coming to Buffalo! You're so amazing!

[@Dayglodaydreams]

You are a lot more relatable here than you were previously. A person can grow up in a red state, in a religious family...but not in the buckle of the Bible Belt. I grew up (and still live) there. It is a city in OK,USA. I guess my autism, and religious upbringing will always make me less sex-phyllic than most sex educators (the ones I've run into in College seem to be very pro-sex). I might always have more to do with the traditional yet pragmatic moderate-conservative Temple Grandin (even though I am kind of moderate left) than most sex educators. In the Bible Belt, people do not want to see explicit sex organs even depicted (sometimes even implied) in commercial, residential, or school districts.Doe encountered that (sadly). I like what Dr. Doe does, but....I also appreciate and respect great Sex Ethics educators, and great Sex Ethicists (not Jeremy Bentham, ha ha). Sex and Sex Ethics are separate things. There are some okay Sex Ethicists out there.

[@CharlineLikesC]

I unexpectedly got to say hello during VidCon London. It was lovely, we hugged and took a picture. :) Hope to welcome you some other time.

You look fantastic in that outfit at 7:26! Great job on this tour, and feel free to do it again in 2020!

[@doulacandice]

I was SOO sad I didnt get to meet you!! I live close to Adam and Eve in Hillsborough NC! I wish I had known!! I hope you do this again and I can meet you some day.. What you do is SO VERY important!! Keep it up!

[@sexplanations]

I'm sad I didn't get to meet you too. There were lots of challenges getting the word out and finding venues. Thank you for being understanding. I hope we get to meet someday in the future.

[@Kibaoftheleaves]

YOU WERE IN PENSACOLA AND I MISSED IT!! I had a mini heart attack when you showed the picture of the writing on the Bluffs boardwalk and I recognized. Whoever wrote that stuff you took a picture of also went around responding to every other bit of graffiti there and was a little... uh.... unbalanced. I had a field day going around with my brother and a friend reading all of it once.

[@tylervile2578]

Wait, did you have an event in Baltimore around my birthday (late April) that I missed? I would've loved to see you speak as part of my birthday festivities! Next time!
