EP 48: Are you impure during period? 24.08.2022 50:49
One half of our duo, Meri, grew up in a family with strong hindu religious beliefs. This meant she had to follow specific rules when she first got her first period and subsequently every time of the month. Without proper education of the rituals, she never understood why she and the females of her family had to go through an experience that made them feel isolated and ashamed of their natural cycl...

EP 46: The "Guilt" Of An Immigrant's Child 01.08.2022 1:10:52
As children of an immigrant, we have all heard of the struggles our parents went through to give us a better life. May be a bit too much sometimes. The gap in the communication is such that not all parents may understand our struggles too; not the literal "I climbed mountains and crossed rivers to go to school" type of struggle but a mental version of climbing mountains and crossing rivers.
EP 45: Passive aggressive Nepali parents & Sex toys pt.2 | Sinerji Studio 24.07.2022 47:57
As we are expressive queens we tend to go off topic a lot. This is another one of those.

STAY TUNED!!!!!
EP 44: Female Orgasms FT. our sex toys 12.07.2022 59:14
It took us years to understand our body and then some more experimenting to know ways to achieve orgasms. In a community where sex education at home is rare or even non existent, we got thrusted into the adult world with unrealistic tips and knowledge taught by good old mainstream porn. This episode is about our orgasms and how it differs from men's. It just had to be way more complicated for us....
EP 43: YOUR Body But NOT YOUR CHOICE 01.07.2022 59:06
As the biggest economy in the world is about to take a step backwards in women's rights, we worry about what are they going after next? Same sex intercourse? Same sex marriage? Right to contraception? Being women, we have always had to fight for rights and equal seat at the table. Years of protest, campaigning and fight was reversed just like that. How can they justify putting one life over anothe...
EP 42: Failing at Adulthood? 24.06.2022 54:48

Ep 40: Should we do only fans? | Sinerji Studio 01.06.2022 54:14

This episode is all about our personal realities and struggles of making content and even jokingly discussing making content on ONLY FANS! But seriously though, are M...
EP 39: Sexual Heath ft. Dr. Supriya Rai 24.05.2022 57:16
Coming from a conservative community where sex is not a subject of discussion, we had to learn everything we know about sex through trial and error. That self learning process has the potential to be quite detrimental, for example if certain STDs are left untreated. So here we are, tackling sexual health and hoping to shine a little light of awareness on this important part of our ad...

EP 33: Being A Mother 24.03.2022 1:07:18
Mother's day is just around the corner, so we thought we would invite Merisha's mum and talk about her journey as a mother. In her generation, there was no sex or pregnancy education.
