In this special clip-show episode of The Open Bedroom Doors Show, licensed sex therapist Angela Skurtu takes intimacy advice to a whole new level—by stepping into her superhero alter-ego: "Action Angela".

Through highlights from the past five episodes, Angela and her guests tackle some of the most important conversations around sex, intimacy, and connection: 💬 Talking to kids about bodies, boundaries, and puberty 💬 Reducing shame around sex education 💬 Building trust and friendship in long-term relationships 💬 How to keep intimacy alive after having kids 💬 Exploring playful tools like the Wheel of Consent & the Three-Minute Game

But this isn’t just education—it’s an epic battle for love and intimacy. Watch as Action Angela takes on the sinister villain Lord LockJaw, who uses shame, silence, and stress to slam bedroom doors shut. Can courage, communication, and curiosity break his grip?

The fight for love continues—one bedroom at a time. 💕

Welcome to Open Bedroom Doors Show – Real Talk for Real Relationships with Angela Skurtu, M.Ed., LMFT-S, CST-S. In Episode 12, we’re diving into some of the most important conversations couples face after becoming parents.

💋 Segment 1: Sex Positions & Intimacy After Baby Bringing a baby into the world changes everything—including your sex life. I’ll share insights on how intimacy shifts after childbirth and what couples can do to stay connected while navigating recovery, exhaustion, and new parenthood.

🩺 Segment 2: Interview with Brooke Kalisiak (Legacy Physical Therapy) Pain after birth is more common than people realize, and for many women, it makes sex difficult—or even impossible. I sit down with pelvic floor physical therapist Brooke Kalisiak to discuss how pelvic floor therapy can help restore pleasure, intimacy, and confidence in your body again. If pain is keeping you from enjoying sex, this is a must-watch conversation!

✨ Segment 3: Happy Endings Q&A A viewer asks: What is the viability of couples who try swinging or non-monogamy? I share my perspective as a certified sex therapist on what makes these arrangements work—or not—and how couples can decide if it’s right for them.

👉 Don’t miss this episode—it’s packed with practical advice, expert insights, and honest conversations to help you build a stronger, healthier relationship.

Welcome to Open Bedroom Doors: Real Talk for Real Relationships — Episode 11! 💕

In this episode, we dive into three powerful conversations around intimacy, consent, and sexual health:

🔹 Sex Positions Segment: Pregnancy changes everything—including intimacy. I share practical ways couples can adjust during pregnancy and why teamwork is the key to staying connected, both emotionally and physically.

🔹 Interview with Dr. Betty Martin – Creator of the Wheel of Consent: I sit down with world-renowned author and educator Betty Martin to explore the Wheel of Consent. We discuss what it truly means to give touch and receive touch with full consent—and how understanding this framework can transform your sex life, relationships, and personal boundaries.

🔹 Happy Endings Segment: May is Masturbation Month? I answer the question: Why is this celebrated, and what’s the significance? We break down how solo pleasure supports healthy sexuality and reduces shame around self-touch.

✨ Whether you’re navigating pregnancy intimacy, curious about the Wheel of Consent, or just wondering why Masturbation Month matters—this episode has something for you. 

👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share if you find these conversations valuable.

In this heartwarming and grounded episode of the Open Bedroom Doors Show, we explore the foundational power of friendship, touch, and emotional safety in lasting relationships. My guests this week are Byron and Margaret McKie of the Beyond I Do podcast, and they share invaluable advice on what it takes to make a relationship last.

🔹 Segment 1: Sex Positions We begin with an intimate conversation about the often-overlooked power of cuddling and skin-to-skin contact—especially for couples navigating pregnancy. Discover how non-sexual touch helps build connection, reduce stress, and keep intimacy alive during times of physical and emotional transition.

🔹 Segment 2: Interview with Margaret & Byron McKie Next, we welcome long-time partners and real-life relationship role models, Margaret and Byron McKie, to talk about the art of friendship in marriage. How do you keep liking the person you love—decades in? We get into laughter, conflict, teamwork, and the little things that build long-term emotional intimacy.

🔹 Segment 3: Happy Endings (Listener Q&A) We close the episode with a bold and timely listener question: “How important are gender roles in a relationship, and how can I avoid toxic masculinity?” Angela breaks down how rigid roles can harm intimacy and what it really means to show up as an emotionally available and respectful partner.

This episode is all about real love with depth, play, and honesty. Whether you're pregnant, partnered for decades, or questioning gender dynamics—there’s something here for everyone.

🎧 Tune in, touch in, and keep those bedroom doors open.

In this eye-opening episode of the Open Bedroom Doors Show: Real Talk for Real Relationships, we cover sex from the bedroom... all the way to the courtroom.

🔹 Segment 1: Sex Positions We kick things off right on the bed (shoutout to our sponsor — use promo code SEXYTIME at Mattress Dogzzz for tax-free comfort!) with practical tips for keeping intimacy alive during the third trimester of pregnancy. Learn ways to get creative and stay connected when your body — and your relationship — are evolving.

  🔹 Segment 2: Interview with Dr. David Ley Next, we welcome renowned psychologist and forensic sex therapist Dr. David Ley to unpack the rapidly growing field of forensic sexology. Why are more and more sex-related cases ending up in court? What does the legal system get wrong about human sexuality? From false assumptions to expert testimony, Dr. Ley breaks down how science (and sometimes pseudoscience) is being used in the courtroom — and what that means for real people.

🔹 Segment 3: Happy Endings (Listener Q&A) Finally, we close with a heartfelt listener question: “When will I know my marriage intimacy has hit its peak — when every answer to sex becomes 'no'?" We explore signs of sexual stagnation, how to reignite desire, and why “no” doesn’t always mean it’s over.

This episode blends science, sex, and soul with the honesty you've come to expect from "Open Bedroom Doors Show" - Real talk for real relationships — no shame, no fluff.

Sex doesn't pause when your body changes—it just asks new questions.  In this episode of the "Open Bedroom Doors Show" - Real talk for Real Relationships, Angela Skurtu, Licensed Marriage Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist interviews Diane McClain, a cervical cancer survivor. 

This episode explores how cancer, pregnancy, and pain can shift our sexual experiences and redefine intimacy. From the physical realities of pregnancy, to the emotional toll of cancer treatment, to the realities of body image, desire, and discomfort, we hold honest space for what happens when the bedroom becomes unfamiliar territory. 

Whether you're navigating these changes yourself or supporting a partner who is, this conversation is about reclaiming connection, compassion, and sexual agency—even when everything feels different.

In this episode of Open Bedroom Doors, we kick things off with our "Sex Positions" segment—this time, showing real-life ways to spice up intimacy during the third trimester. (Yes, we demonstrate them in an actual bed, courtesy of Mattress Dogzzz—use promo code SEXYTIME to get your next mattress tax free!) Next up, I sit down with the incredible Diane McClain, a cervical cancer survivor, to talk about how sex and intimacy shift after cancer—raw, real, and full of wisdom.  We wrap it all up with our "Happy Ending" segment, answering a heartfelt audience question about keeping intimacy alive. Don’t miss it!

Thanks for watching!

Better s3x doesn’t start in the bedroom. It starts in your head. I will help you break free from shame, outdated beliefs, and unspoken frustrations that have been keeping you stuck, When you change the way you think about s3x, you change the way you show up for sex, and that is where the magic happens!

I always say sex therapy is life therapy. I am invested in helping you develop a whole quality of life. That means, I invest in you, your relationship, and your journey. I help you develop healthier communication skills, improve the way you spend time together, and live the life you want with your partner.

My Mission: Help people of all ages develop a healthier relationship with sex and change the sexual landscape for future generations by normalizing conversations about sex. Many of today’s sexual problems could have been prevented with healthy sex education. I create content that focuses on consent, boundaries, pleasure, and honest, direct conversations. I have a whole lot of fun doing it!

My Vision: To create free, medically accurate sex education through playful and wholesome sexual health content provided by a Licensed Marriage Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist. To have a great time and have a laugh. I'm creating content that is playful, fun and educational where people can learn and enjoy themselves. Sex is supposed to be fun!

Values: My company seeks to work with collaborators and sponsors with the following values in mind. 1) Lead with love, not hate. No put downs or abusing people. We’re dismantling abuse. 2) Must have a positive attitude.  3) You don’t have to have a perfect relationship with sex, but you do need to be open minded and willing to grow. 4) Respect people’s values. 5) Must have an excellent sense of humor (I have a big imagination!).

S3x is not a dirty word. It's an important part of a healthy relationship. Your whole body is capable of giving and receiving pleasure. Yet, so many of my clients are having mediocre s3x and mediocre life experiences. There's more to life than work and kids. There's way more to experience in this world. Don't you want more?

I'm Angela Skurtu and I open Bedroom doors!

To have a great time and have a laugh. I'm creating content that is playful, fun and educational where people can learn and enjoy themselves. Sex is supposed to be fun!

Values: My company seeks to work with collaborators and sponsors with the following values in mind. 1) Lead with love, not hate. No put downs or abusing people. We’re dismantling abuse. 2) Must have a positive attitude.  3) You don’t have to have a perfect relationship with sex, but you do need to be open minded and willing to grow. 4) Respect people’s values. 5) Must have an excellent sense of humor (I have a big imagination!).

Sex is not a dirty word. It's an important part of a healthy relationship. Your whole body is capable of giving and receiving pleasure. Yet, so many of my clients are having mediocre sex and mediocre life experiences. There's more to life than work and kids. There's way more to experience in this world. Don't you want more?

I'm Angela Skurtu and I open Bedroom doors!

Better s3x doesn’t start in the bedroom. It starts in your head. I will help you break free from shame, outdated beliefs, and unspoken frustrations that have been keeping you stuck, When you change the way you think about s3x, you change the way you show up for s3x, and that is where the magic happens!

I always say s3x therapy is life therapy. I am invested in helping you develop a whole quality of life. That means, I invest in you, your relationship, and your journey. I help you develop healthier communication skills, improve the way you spend time together, and live the life you want with your partner.

My Mission: Help people of all ages develop a healthier relationship with sex and change the sexual landscape for future generations by normalizing conversations about sex. Many of today’s sexual problems could have been prevented with healthy sex education. I create content that focuses on consent, boundaries, pleasure, and honest, direct conversations. I have a whole lot of fun doing it!

I work with couples that are best friends who have "friend zoned" each other. We've all been guilty of putting work and kids first. You lose track of each other and forget to go on dates or spend time alone. After a while, you realize you haven't been on a date since the pandemic or longer! 

Tired of routine s3x? Feeling more like roommates than lovers? Wondering where the passion went - or if it was ever really there? You are not alone and you don’t have to settle for a s3x life that is just meh. I help couples reignite passion for each other and for life and normalize conversation about s3x. I am invested in your whole relationship  - body, mind, and spirit. In order to want to have s3x, you have to create that emotional connection again. You have to learn to play and have fun together. You have to learn to live a fuller life!

S3x is not a dirty word. It's an important part of a healthy relationship. Your whole body is capable of giving and receiving pleasure. Yet, so many of my clients are having mediocre s3x and mediocre life experiences. There's more to life than work and kids. There's way more to experience in this world. Don't you want more?

Introducing the debut of my new weekly web show, The Open Bedroom Doors Show! 

Tune in every Thursday night at 9 PM CST for a fun look into the world of sex and sexual health presented by me, Angela Skurtu, a Licensed Marriage and Certified Sex Therapist.

This week, we have Diane McCain, a sex enthusiast, and Graduate of Orgasm University.

We're not sure if that's an actual University. 

On this week's episode, we talk about keeping sex fun as you age. Everyone ages. It's true. But when you can stay open minded about sex, you can still enjoy sex. The problem is that people don't always know how to slow down, get creative, and work with the bodies they have. We dive into creative sexuality and keeping sex fun even with aging bodies.

In this episode we also dive into 'Sex Positions' a weekly segment where Angela judges things happening in the media.  Each week, we end the show with a listener question. If you have questions you would like her to answer on a future show, please post your questions in the comments below.

Today I talk with Kristin Casey.

She says, "I work in the field of sexuality counseling as a dating & intimacy coach and surrogate partner. What sets my work apart from standard counseling and talk therapy is that my methods are highly experiential—meaning 'hands-on'—which for some clients is the only way they’re going to overcome their issues or develop the necessary skills & awareness to get where they need to go—meaning capable of genuine emotional intimacy and a fulfilling, satisfying sex life."

Tom LaPonti spent the earlier part of his life walking the fence between a creative career and a professional one as a project manager in technology. As a creative he was recognized for various accolades in film, television and stage as a writer, director, producer. As a project manager he won praise for developing people into successful, productive units that completed projects on time and under budget. Everything came to a halt in 2013 with the sudden death of his father to Stage 4 lung cancer. He re-evaluated where he was and what was important to him and decided to pivot toward a more fulfilling life interviewing people on their sleep disorders and documenting his journey as he explores the world of sleep.

Joining me all the way from South Korea is Elliott Davis,  a relationship coach who says, "My stories, failures, and triumphs in love—along with my passion for listening and learning—make me a an excellent partner in relationship conversations! I genuinely enjoy helping improve their relationships, inside and outside the bedroom, with humor, tough love and understanding." After a brief discussion about how his experience of living with Coronavirus in South Korea differs from the experience in the USA, we move on to topics around love and relationships, communicating with your partner about sex, finding your rhythm, getting through sexual blocks, marriage sex, and more.

My interview today with Daphne Walker-Thoth is another in a series of conversations I've recorded with people of color about their experiences. You'll notice that during this conversation I sometimes have difficulty even knowing how to ask some questions. I've chosen to leave the interview unedited so that my listeners can hear what it sounds like to have raw - and sometimes messy - conversations.

Daphne is a retired substance abuse counselor emeritus. Before recently retiring, she devoted more than 20 years to helping awaken faith organizations to the anguish and despair of social injustice. Twelve years ago, she spoke at the White House as a panelist on the role of faith organizations in addressing social service issues.
