Sexplanations

Dr. Lindsey Takara Doe (born: 1981/1982), is an American sexologist and sex educator who ran the Sexplanations YouTube channel. 
== Education ==
Dr. Doe attended the University of Montana and graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's in psychology and a master's in health and human performance. Her thesis was about phenomenological studies about first sexual intercourse among individuals with varied levels of sexual self-disclosure (i.e. how different amounts of masturbation affects a person's first time having sex). She then attended the then-accredited Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco where she received her doctorate in sexology.

In 2008, Dr. Doe opened the first medical office for sexology in Missoula, Montana. In 2015, she expanded her sexual health services into Birds and Bees LLC. 
She is also a professor of sexology. She first taught at the University of Montana from 2006-2014, but she was let off due to budget cuts. After being let off, she started doing sex ed. tours across the United States where she would give one hour lectures at different colleges.
=== YouTube ===
Inspired by the lack of proper sex education in the US, Dr. Doe launched Sexplanations with Hank Green, who observed the virtual non-representation of sex education in the educational YouTube scene of the time. Hank Green was originally a co-host, however over time he stopped appearing in most videos. 
Sexplanations cover a variety of topics relating to human sexuality. Such as protected and unprotected sex, different forms of sex like anal; oral; etc., masturbation, how to recognize injuries and infections of sexual organs, sexually transmitted diseases and how to prevent and treat them, different types of contraceptions, abortions, consent and more. 
== Retirement and Return ==
In November of 2021, Dr. Doe announced that she will be retiring from YouTube in December. She gave two reasons for retirement: one was that she was finding her content repetitive, and two was the years of sexual harassment she received in both emails and phone calls from strangers who thought that her running a sex ed. channel equates to consent. She uploaded her last video on December 29, 2021. 
On February 1, 2023, almost two years after retirement. Dr. Doe uploaded her first video breaking her hiatus. She talked about why she left and what she did during her two year retirement. She also announced that she has been using her Patreon funds to help build water resources in high need communities. While she did not confirm if she plans to return to YouTube full time, she did announce that she still plans to sporadically upload.
