Episode 551: Why It's Harder To Talk About Sex Than Have It

Épisode 551

vendredi 6 novembre 2026 • Durée 29:31

For something that so many of us enjoy doing, sex can be surprisingly difficult to talk about. We might feel comfortable getting naked with a partner but struggle to tell them what we want, what we don't enjoy, or how we're really feeling. And when we avoid these conversations, it can lay the basis for misunderstanding and conflict, while also limiting opportunities for mutual pleasure. In this episode, we're exploring why sexual communication can feel so vulnerable, as well as how to become someone your partner feels safe opening up to.

I am joined once again by Shafia Zaloom, a health educator, consultant, and author whose work centers on human development, community building, ethics and social justice. She is the author of Sex, Teens, and Everything in Between as well as the new book Getting Real About Sex Ed: What Today’s Students Need.

Some of the specific topics we cover include:

What makes talking about sex uniquely intimidating?
How can we become more approachable and supportive sexual partners?
Why is it important to go beyond binary, yes/no models of sexual consent?
How can we become more confident sexual communicators?

You can check our Shafia's website to learn more about what she's working on.

Episode 550: Are We Teaching People To Be Bad Lovers?

Épisode 550

mardi 3 novembre 2026 • Durée 35:08

Most of us spend years learning about sex before we ever have it. We absorb messages from our families, friends, schools, pornography, and popular culture about what sex is supposed to look like and how we're supposed to behave. But what if some of those lessons are actually setting us up for disappointment? What if the way we're taught about sex is making it harder to have healthy, pleasurable, and satisfying relationships?

My guest is Shafia Zaloom, a health educator, consultant, and author whose work centers on human development, community building, ethics and social justice. She is the author of Sex, Teens, and Everything in Between as well as the new book Getting Real About Sex Ed: What Today’s Students Need.

Some of the specific topics we cover include:

How do the messages we receive about sex growing up shape our sexual relationships as adults?
What are some of the most influential lessons about sex we learn outside the classroom?
What unrealistic expectations can pornography create about sex?
How can we unlearn harmful sexual messages and develop healthier expectations?

Episode 547: Do Polyamorous Relationships Need Rules?

Épisode 547

vendredi 23 octobre 2026 • Durée 32:48

When couples open their relationships, one of the first things they often do is establish a set of rules. But do those rules actually make non-monogamous relationships healthier and more secure? Or can they create more problems than they solve? In this episode, we’ll explore why polyamorous people create relationship rules, when those rules can become restrictive or controlling, and whether they’re even necessary in the first place.

I am joined once again by Eve Rickert, the co-author of The New More Than Two: A Philosophical Reimagining of the Classic Nonmonogamy Guide. She is also author of Nonmonogamy and Betrayal, curator of the More Than Two Essentials series, the founder and publisher of Thornapple Press, and the mastermind behind the science communications firm Talk Science to Me.

Some of the specific topics we cover include:

What's the difference between relationship rules, agreements, and boundaries?
What are the most common rules in non-monogamous relationships?
How do "don't ask, don't tell" arrangements work in practice?
What is a “one-penis policy,” and why can it be problematic?
When can relationship rules actually be helpful?

Episode 546: When Polyamory Becomes Toxic

Épisode 546

mardi 20 octobre 2026 • Durée 28:55

Polyamory is sometimes described as a more “evolved” approach to relationships, built around radical honesty, open communication, and personal autonomy. This can create the impression that polyamorous relationships are somehow immune to the problems that plague other relationships. But the reality is that non-monogamous relationships can become unhealthy, toxic, and even abusive, just like any other relationship. And that's what we're exploring in today's episode.

My guest is Eve Rickert, the co-author of The New More Than Two: A Philosophical Reimagining of the Classic Nonmonogamy Guide. She is also author of Nonmonogamy and Betrayal, curator of the More Than Two Essentials series, the founder and publisher of Thornapple Press, and the mastermind behind the science communications firm Talk Science to Me.

Some of the specific topics we cover include:

Does abuse look different in consensually non-monogamous relationships compared to monogamous ones?
What's the difference between coercive control and toxic behavior?
Can having multiple partners make it harder to recognize abuse?
What are the warning signs that a relationship has become more harmful than healthy?
What resources are available for people experiencing abuse in a non-monogamous relationship?

Épisode 545

vendredi 16 octobre 2026 • Durée 33:26

Disclosing a fetish to a partner can feel incredibly vulnerable. You might worry about being judged, rejected, or misunderstood. But keeping your desires hidden can create challenges, too. So when and how should you bring up a fetish? And what happens if your partner doesn't share your interests? In this episode, we’ll explore how to navigate fetish disclosure, respond when a partner opens up to you, and manage differences in sexual desires.

I am joined once again by Niki Davis-Fainbloom, a New York- and New Orleans-based sex educator, writer, researcher, and coach. She has facilitated hundreds of sexuality education workshops, and her writing has been featured in several major media outlets. She is the author of the new book Fetish: Smash Taboos and Celebrate What Turns You On.

Some of the specific topics we cover include:

Why is self-acceptance important before disclosing a fetish to a partner?
Is there a right time to disclose a fetish?
How should you respond when a partner reveals a fetish that surprises you?
Should you ever participate in a partner’s fetish if it doesn’t personally turn you on?
How can partners find creative compromises when their desires don’t align?

You can check out Niki's website to learn more about her work.

Fetishes can develop around an astonishing range of objects, body parts, and sensations. In this episode, we’re going to explore the psychology behind fetishes. We’ll talk about what it actually means to have a fetish, clear up some common misconceptions, and look at different theories for how fetishes develop.

Épisode 543

vendredi 9 octobre 2026 • Durée 30:16

What happens after an intense sexual experience can be just as important as what happens during it. In the kink world, this is where “aftercare” comes in. But aftercare is about much more than cuddling, and it isn’t just for submissive partners. In this episode, we’ll explore what good aftercare looks like, how it can make kink even hotter, and how everyone can benefit from it whether they're kinky or not.

I am joined once again by Midori, an internationally recognized sexologist, kink educator, and author with over 30 years of experience in the field. She is the founder of Rope Dojo, and the author of The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage, which was the first English-language book on Shibari. She is also author of Wild Side Sex: The Book of Kink.

Some of the specific topics we cover include:

Why is aftercare important in kink?
What does aftercare look like in practice?
How can you identify your own and your partner’s aftercare needs?
How might aftercare differ for dominant and submissive partners?

Épisode 542

mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 32:36

Talking during sex can be incredibly hot. But for a lot of people, it can also feel awkward, intimidating, or embarrassing. The good news is that sexy talk is a skill you can learn, and it’s about much more than just working up the nerve to say explicit words. In fact, what you say may matter less than how you say it. In this episode, we’re going to explore how to find your own authentic sexy talk style, move past inhibitions, use your voice to build arousal and anticipation, and make conversations about desire feel sexy.

My guest is Midori, an internationally recognized sexologist, kink educator, and author with over 30 years of experience in the field.

How can you practice and get better at sexy talk on your own?
