Are you a happy slut? An interview with Samia Mounts
04 Nov 2026
00:57:42
What does it really mean to be a slut? And why is sexual freedom celebrated in men but so often condemned in women?
In this episode of Sex Is Good, Robert sits down with Samia Mounts, host of The Happy Slut Podcast, for an honest, provocative, and sex-positive conversation about sexual freedom, shame, relationships, and society’s expectations of women.
We explore the idea of reclaiming the word “slut,” the double standards surrounding promiscuity, and whether having more sexual partners actually makes people happier. We also tackle a more complicated question: Where is the line between healthy sexual exploration and potentially self-destructive behavior?
From sexual confidence and personal responsibility to relationships, social judgment, and living authentically, this conversation challenges conventional thinking about sex without pretending that every sexual decision is automatically a good one.
Can you be sexually adventurous, responsible, and genuinely happy? Absolutely. But what does that actually look like?
Join us for a candid conversation about sex, freedom, and the right to define your own happiness.
Halloween Is the Sexiest Holiday: Here’s Why, Scientifically Speaking
28 Oct 2026
00:49:39
Halloween might just be the sexiest holiday of the year. But why?
Is it the costumes? The anonymity? The opportunity to dress a little sluttier than usual? Or is there something happening in our brains that makes Halloween the perfect excuse to let loose?
In this episode of Sex Is Good, we explore the surprisingly sexual history of Halloween, the psychology behind sexy costumes, and the science of why disguises, excitement, fear, and fantasy can influence sexual attraction and behavior.
We’ll also talk about Halloween hookups, sexy party games, and why people who would never dream of wearing something revealing in July suddenly feel comfortable showing plenty of skin in October.
And before we get into the Halloween fun, we’re tackling a serious sexual health question: Why is Gilead promoting a new HIV prevention injection to women that carries a list price of approximately $29,000 per year? We’ll discuss PrEP, the actual risk of HIV transmission through heterosexual sex, and whether expensive new medications are always the best public health solution when inexpensive alternatives already exist.
From ancient traditions to modern neuroscience, we’re exploring what makes Halloween so wonderfully naughty, while taking a critical look at one of the biggest developments in HIV prevention.
Because Halloween isn’t just about pretending to be someone else. Sometimes it’s about giving yourself permission to be exactly who you want to be.
Why do people have sex in public? Who does it, what makes it exciting, and how does it actually feel? In this episode of Sex Is Good, we explore the psychology of public sex, the thrill of getting caught, exhibitionism, voyeurism, and the line between sexual fantasy and reality.

Sex can be fun, fascinating, and sometimes downright disgusting.
In this episode of Sex Is Good, Robert and Anna explore seven wild sexual health facts that might surprise you.
Can getting semen in your eye give you an STI? How many bacteria do you exchange during a 10-second kiss? And what are some of the worst penis injuries that can happen during sex?
From bizarre biology to surprising sexual health risks, we’re diving into the science behind things you probably never thought to ask about.
It’s funny, educational, occasionally gross, and definitely not boring.
Sex is good. Knowing more about it is even better.
Do I Make You Horny, Baby? Actually, How Do You Get Horny Anyway? Scientifically Speaking.
It sounds like a simple question, but sexual desire is a lot more complicated than just hormones. In this episode, we break down what actually happens in your brain and body when you get turned on, including the roles of testosterone, dopamine, stress, sleep, attraction, fantasy, novelty, anticipation, and feeling desired.
We also talk about why the same person can drive you crazy one day and do absolutely nothing for you the next, why your body can be aroused when your brain isn’t, and why wanting sex and physically responding to sex are not always the same thing.
Basically, horniness is not one chemical, one hormone, or one switch.
It’s your brain deciding that sex sounds rewarding right now.
Worried About Your Body, Dick, Boobs, or Performance? Science Says: Chill.
Are you worried about your body, your penis, your breasts, how long you last, whether your partner orgasmed, or whether you’re actually “good” at sex?
There’s a good chance you’re judging yourself much more harshly than your partner is.
In this episode, Robert and Anna dig into the research behind some of the most common sexual insecurities and compare what people worry about with what their partners actually report caring about.
We talk about body image, breast size and shape, penis size, genital appearance, how long sex “should” last, orgasm, sexual performance, desire, and even pubic hair.
The research paints a surprisingly reassuring picture: our insecurities often cause us to imagine criticism that may not actually exist.
Your insecurity is not evidence.
And the person you imagine holding the scorecard during sex may actually be having a fantastic time.
Tie Me Up: Rope Play with The Duchy
23 Sep 2026
00:46:28
This week, we’re getting tied up.
We’re joined by the rope-play experts from The Duchy to talk bondage, rope, trust, technique, and why getting tied up can be so damn fun.
Whether you’ve been playing with rope for years or you’ve never tied anything more complicated than your shoes, this episode is a fun, judgment-free introduction to the world of rope play.
We talk about what makes rope sexy, common beginner mistakes, communication and consent, safety, and how to start exploring without having any idea what the hell you’re doing.
Come for the education. Stay for the knots.

Who Craves Sexual Variety First — Men or Women? And then what? Cheating? Swinging?
Who gets bored with monogamous sex first—men or women?
Most people think they know the answer. But sexual boredom, desire for novelty, and long-term attraction don’t always work the way we assume.
In this episode, we dig into what the research says about men, women, monogamy, sexual boredom, and what people actually do when the excitement starts to fade. Does it lead to less sex? Fantasies? Cheating? Swinging? Opening the relationship? Or something much less dramatic?
And more importantly: what keeps sex interesting when you’ve been with the same person for years?
Become a Horny Sex God or Goddess — Without Medications
In this episode of Sex Is Good, we dig into published research on ways people may be able to increase sexual desire, arousal, and interest without medication.
We look at studies involving things like scheduled sexual activity, masturbation, vibrator use, erotic material, and other behavioral approaches researchers have actually tested.
The question is simple:
Can doing sexual things more often make you want sexual things more often?
We break down what the science says, what seems promising, what is probably overhyped, and how desire can sometimes behave less like a fixed trait and more like something that can be influenced by habits, attention, stimulation, and experience.
No miracle supplements. No fake “libido hacks.” Just the research.
Become a Horny Sex God or Goddess — Without Medications.
The Science of Fellatio (or Blowjobs, If You Prefer)
26 Aug 2026
00:30:17
What does science actually say about fellatio?
In this episode, we dig into the research behind oral sex, including who does it, how often people do it, what people actually enjoy, and some of the surprising things researchers have studied about giving and receiving oral sex.
We also talk about the difference between what people say they want, what they actually do, and how much of our sexual behavior is shaped by culture, relationships, and expectations.
As always, this is a candid, judgment-free conversation about sex, relationships, and the science behind both.
Stop subscribing for medication. That's silly. Find real sexual healthcare here. https://shamelesscare.com/
Does semen actually affect mood? Do women care how much a man ejaculates? Where do men prefer to finish, and where do women actually want them to? Can you increase semen volume? Does pineapple really change the taste? And what actually improves semen health and fertility?
In this episode of Sex Is Good, Robert and Anna take on six surprisingly common questions about semen and separate the science from the myths.
We look at the controversial “semen improves mood” theory, the mismatch between male and female preferences around ejaculation, what really affects volume and taste, and the lifestyle changes that can measurably improve sperm health and fertility.
Hotwives, Swinging & Insatiable Wives with Dr. David Ley
05 Aug 2026
00:50:20
Dr. David Ley is a clinical psychologist, sex therapist, and the author of Insatiable Wives, one of the most well-known books ever written about the hotwife lifestyle and female sexual desire.
In this episode, we discuss why some women have stronger sexual desire than their partners, the psychology behind hotwifing, jealousy, open relationships, and the myths that surround nontraditional relationships. We also explore how research has changed our understanding of female sexuality and what couples should know before considering ethical non-monogamy.
Whether you’re simply curious or actively exploring these topics, this conversation is thoughtful, evidence-based, and surprisingly nuanced.
Guest: Dr. David Ley, clinical psychologist and author of Insatiable Wives.
Naughty in N'Awlins: The world's largest swinger party
Naughty in N'Awlins is the world’s largest swinger event, recently featured in the New York Post. This is our third year attending, and we’re pulling back the curtain on everything you actually want to know.
How much sex really happens? Are the people attractive? Are they welcoming? Is it fun if you’re monogamous? Does it make for a great vacation? What about STIs, consent, and safety?
No hype. No judgment. Just an honest look at the pros, the cons, and everything in between.
Does Body Count Matter? The Science Behind the Debate
22 Jul 2026
00:38:19
Does a person’s “body count” actually matter?
In this episode, we discuss one of the most controversial topics in dating and relationships. Does having more sexual partners predict divorce? Does it affect long-term relationship satisfaction? Should it matter at all?
We also explore whether a higher number of partners changes your risk of sexually transmitted infections and what the research actually says.
Along the way, we discuss morality, sexual compatibility, honesty, and why these conversations so often become emotional instead of evidence-based.
Whether you think body count is important or completely irrelevant, this episode aims to separate the science from the opinion.
Are glory holes actually safer than face-to-face anonymous sex, or is that just an internet myth? In this episode, we take an honest, judgment-free look at the history of glory holes, why people use them, and what the science actually says about STI transmission. We cover the infections that matter, the ones people worry about unnecessarily, and practical ways to reduce risk without ruining the fun. If you’ve ever been curious about the public health side of glory holes, this episode is for you.
Your Doctor Is Biased. All Humans Are. Here’s Why It Matters for Sexual Health
Doctors are human. And like all humans, they have biases.
That does not mean most doctors are bad at their jobs. It means medicine is practiced by human beings, and human beings are influenced by assumptions, past experiences, social norms, and personal beliefs.
In sexual health, that matters more than many people realize.
Bias can affect which questions get asked, which tests get ordered, which symptoms get taken seriously, and even what treatment options are offered. It can shape how doctors think about age, gender, sexual behavior, relationship status, and risk.
DoxyPEP ED Meds PreP STI testing HPV Vaccine over 45
Bias plays into each of those health care decisions.
In this episode, we discuss how bias shows up in real clinical settings, why it happens, and how it can directly impact patient care. We also talk about ways patients can advocate for themselves and ask better questions.
This is not an attack on doctors. It is a conversation about human nature, medicine, and why awareness matters.
Everyone talks about cunnilingus. Very few people talk about what science actually says.
In this episode, Robert and Anna break down five research-backed facts about cunnilingus that might genuinely change how you think about pleasure, communication, and sexual satisfaction.
Some of what we found was surprising. Some confirmed what many people already suspect. And some explains why so many people overcomplicate something that often comes down to attention, communication, and enthusiasm.
Why do so many people call their partner “Daddy”? Where did the phrase come from, and how did a word that once simply meant “father” become one of the most common terms in modern sex and dating culture?
In this episode, we explore the history of the word Daddy, from its origins as a childhood nickname to its use in literature, LGBTQ+ culture, BDSM, pornography, and mainstream relationships. We look at the psychology, history, and cultural evolution behind one of the most misunderstood words in the English language.
Topics include:
* The origin of the word “Daddy” * When “Daddy” became sexual * The history of Daddy in gay culture * BDSM and dominance dynamics * Why people call their partners Daddy * The psychology of age-gap relationships * How the term entered mainstream dating culture
If you’re interested in the history of sex, relationships, language, kink, and human behavior, this episode is for you.
I’ve Sold Over 1 Million ED Pills. Here’s What Men Need to Know.
10 Jun 2026
00:34:02
Robert has spent years inside the world of erectile dysfunction medications through Shameless Care and has now helped facilitate more than one million ED medication doses. In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna break down what they’ve learned about Viagra, Cialis, sildenafil, tadalafil, performance anxiety, psychogenic ED, condom-related ED, aging, relationships, and the surprisingly emotional side of male sexuality.
They discuss why most men who use ED medications are not who people think they are, why younger men increasingly struggle with anxiety-related ED, why many men only need medication temporarily, and how unrealistic internet expectations have distorted conversations around erections and masculinity.
The episode also covers: • Why sildenafil remains the most popular ED medication • Why “subscriptions” and “prescriptions” are not the same thing • Common reasons doctors refuse ED medication requests • The real risks, side effects, and safety concerns men should understand • Why telehealth pricing for the same medication can range from pennies to hundreds of dollars • How shame and embarrassment prevent men from getting help
As always, this episode mixes science, humor, personal experience, and blunt honesty about modern sexual healthcare.
The Science of Three Kinks! Cuckolding, Consensual Non-Consent and Pony Play
What is cuckolding? What is consensual non consent (CNC)? Why do some people enjoy pony play? And what does science actually say about these controversial sexual interests?
In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert Johnson and Anna explore three of the most misunderstood kinks in modern sexuality: cuckolding, consensual non consent, and pony play.
Rather than focusing on shock value, they examine the psychology, neuroscience, relationship dynamics, and sexual health research behind each kink. Why do some people find these experiences arousing? Are they signs of underlying psychological issues? How common are they? And what do researchers know about the people who enjoy them?
Topics discussed include:
• What cuckolding is and why some couples enjoy it • The psychology of consensual non consent (CNC) • Why fantasy and reality are often very different things • Pony play, role play, and identity exploration • Sexual novelty, arousal, and the human brain • What the scientific literature says about kink and mental health • Common myths about BDSM and alternative sexual interests
Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or actively involved in the kink community, this episode takes a science based look at three sexual interests that are often misunderstood.

Can women really experience multiple types of orgasms? Yes, at least nine different types!
In this episode of the Shameless Care Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna dive deep into the anatomy, neuroscience, psychology, and cultural myths surrounding orgasms. From clitoral and cervical orgasms to prostate stimulation, blended orgasms, mental arousal, and the strange realities of male pleasure, this is a funny, science driven conversation about what actually happens inside the human body during sex.
Topics include: • The 9 commonly described types of female orgasms • The difference between orgasm and ejaculation • Why some orgasms feel emotionally intense • The role of dopamine, oxytocin, and the nervous system • Why stress and anxiety can completely shut down pleasure • Multiple orgasms in women and men • The truth about “mind blowing” orgasms online • The anatomy most people never learned in sex ed • Why communication and foreplay matter more than people think
As always, the conversation blends humor, real world experience, and peer reviewed science without the awkward clinical lecture vibe.
Sex and the City Killed Pubic Lice. Or Did It?
20 May 2026
00:29:14
Pubic lice are a sexually transmitted infection that, strangely enough, predates humans. Millions of years ago, our ancestors were covered in far more body hair, giving lice plenty of territory to live on. But as humans evolved and lost most of that hair, pubic lice got pushed into one of the last dense patches remaining: the pubic region.
Now, some researchers think humans may be shrinking their habitat even further.
Since the rise of Brazilian waxing and aggressive grooming trends, especially after shows like Sex and the City helped popularize them, rates of pubic lice appear to have declined dramatically in some parts of the world. There is even speculation that if grooming trends continue long enough, pubic lice could someday become genuinely rare or potentially disappear altogether.
Which is a sentence I never thought I’d say into a microphone.
Viagra and Cialis for Women? The Science Is Wild.
13 May 2026
00:43:22
Most people assume medications like Viagra and Cialis are “for men.” But women take them too, and the science behind what happens is far more interesting than most people realize.
In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna break down what medications like sildenafil, tadalafil, and apomorphine actually do in women, why researchers became interested in them in the first place, and why the results have been both promising and controversial.
They discuss: • Blood flow and female sexual arousal • Why “desire” and “arousal” are not the same thing • The strange history of “female Viagra” • Why some women report dramatic benefits while studies remain mixed • The role dopamine may play in sexual response • The real science behind tadalafil, sildenafil, and apomorphine in women • The difference between internet hype and actual clinical evidence
As always, this episode is funny, honest, deeply researched, and very NSFW in places.

The Herpes Vaccine Disaster Nobody Talks About
06 May 2026
00:30:31
Herpes is one of the most common human infections on Earth. Hundreds of millions of people carry it. It can cause physical symptoms, emotional distress, stigma, relationship anxiety, and endless confusion online.
So why is there still no vaccine?
In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna break down the strange and frustrating history of herpes vaccine research, why developing one has proven so difficult, and why some scientists believe we may still be much farther away than the public realizes.
They discuss: • Why herpes behaves differently than many other viruses • Why some vaccines looked promising and then failed • The biology of latency and immune evasion • Whether mRNA technology could finally change things • Why stigma affects funding and public attention • What current treatments actually do and do not accomplish • The emotional reality of living with HSV
As always, this episode blends science, public health, history, and honest conversation without fearmongering or moral panic.
Because if herpes is this common, the real question is not why people get it.
The real question is why we still have not solved it.
Am I ugly? Are you? The science of how we judge each other’s looks.
29 Apr 2026
00:41:45
Shameless Care and Robert were featured in the Daily Mail. Some of the comments called Robert ugly. Ouch.
So naturally, we’re making chicken salad out of chicken poop and turning internet cruelty into a science episode.
Are we more or less attractive than we think? Is there any objective way to measure beauty? Why can one person find you hot while another thinks you look like a haunted thumb? And what do studies actually say about faces, symmetry, confidence, familiarity, sexiness, and the toxic sewer known as online comments?
In this episode, Anna and Robert discuss the science of attraction, why beauty is partly shared and partly personal, why static photos are terrible data, and why strangers on the internet are not qualified to grade your face.
The STI Testing Insurance Maze: What’s Actually Covered (And What Isn’t)
22 Apr 2026
00:45:23
Why does STI testing feel like a coin flip on whether you’ll get a surprise bill? In this episode, we untangle the American health insurance system piece by piece — from the eight different coverage categories you might fall into, to the ACA preventive services mandate that makes HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and hepatitis screening legally free on most plans.
But “free” comes with asterisks. We dig into the single most important distinction almost no one talks about: screening versus diagnostic testing. Same test, same lab, different billing code, wildly different price. You’ll learn the two ICD-10 codes that determine whether you pay nothing or hundreds — and the exact phrase to say to your doctor before they order the test.
We also cover: •Why your Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO might pay differently than your neighbor’s •How state laws in California, New York, Illinois, Florida, and Texas change what’s covered and who gets told •The Explanation of Benefits privacy trap for anyone on a family plan — and how to fix it •Why herpes blood tests, HPV testing in men, and expanded panels often aren’t covered •When cash-pay actually beats using insurance If you’ve ever gotten a surprise medical bill for something you thought was free, this episode is for you.
Teasing Non-Monogamy: How to Spice Up Your Relationship Without Sex With Others
16 Apr 2026
00:53:25
Most people don’t actually want to be non-monogamous.
What they want is what non-monogamy represents: novelty, attention, validation, and a break from routine.
In this episode, we talk about how to tap into that energy without having sex with other people or blowing up your relationship.
We walk through a handful of ways to “tease” non-monogamy:
Strip clubs
Sex clubs
Porn
Cam sites and digital flirting
And a few gray-area behaviors that people don’t talk about honestl
For each one, we break down:
What it gives you psychologically
Where it can go wrong
And how to approach it without creating real damage
This is not about pushing boundaries for the sake of it.
It’s about understanding why those boundaries feel tempting in the first place.
Because most people don’t want a different partner.
They want to feel desired, interesting, and a little dangerous again.
What’s Inside Gas Station Dick Pills? We Sent Them to a Lab
01 Apr 2026
00:41:25
What’s actually inside gas station “male enhancement” pills?
In this episode, we bought over-the-counter sexual enhancement pills from a gas station and sent them to a lab for analysis. The results revealed the presence of sildenafil, which is illegal. That's right, hundreds of thousands of gas stations sell illegal drugs every, single day.
We break down: • What’s really in gas station sex pills • How unregulated ED supplements end up containing prescription drugs • FDA warnings about “male enhancement” products • The risks of taking undeclared sildenafil and similar compounds • Why these products are still widely sold in gas stations and convenience stores
Many of these products are marketed as “natural” or herbal supplements, but multiple investigations and FDA alerts have found hidden pharmaceutical ingredients, including sildenafil and tadalafil, in over-the-counter sexual enhancement pills.
If you’ve ever searched: •Are gas station sex pills safe •Do male enhancement pills contain Viagra •What’s in Rhino pills or over-the-counter ED pills •Are sexual enhancement supplements regulated
This episode gives you a clear, evidence-based answer.
Why ED Meds Don’t Work (And What No One Tells You)
25 Mar 2026
00:45:08
ED meds not working? We explain why erectile dysfunction medications like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) sometimes fail. Learn how food, dosing, timing, performance anxiety, and condom use can impact effectiveness. We also cover common mistakes men make with ED medication and what to do when ED treatment doesn’t work. This is a practical guide to understanding and fixing ED medication failure.
GLP-1 Drugs: How They Actually Work and the Pharma Drama Behind Them
18 Mar 2026
00:39:02
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are some of the most talked-about drugs in the world right now. But how do they actually work, and what’s really going on behind the scenes?
In this episode, we break down the science of GLP-1 receptor agonists in plain English, including how they affect appetite, insulin, gastric emptying, and long-term weight loss. We also review clinical trial data, real-world outcomes, and what happens when people stop taking these medications.
Then we go deeper into the part most people aren’t talking about: drug shortages, compounded GLP-1 alternatives, and the rapidly growing gray market. We explain how compounding pharmacies operate during FDA-declared shortages, what “copycat” or “bootleg” versions really are, and where the legal lines start to blur.
We also discuss recent FDA actions, enforcement trends, and the broader pharmaceutical landscape, including pricing, patents, and why these drugs have become such a massive financial battleground. From stock volatility to regulatory pressure, there’s more going on here than just weight loss.
If you’ve been hearing about GLP-1 drugs everywhere and want a clear, honest explanation of both the science and the controversy, this episode gives you the full picture.
Pickup Artists: Should You Learn From Them?
11 Mar 2026
00:48:56
Pickup artists are one of the most controversial subcultures in modern dating advice. Some people see them as manipulative. Others believe they uncovered real insights about confidence, attraction, and human psychology.
In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, we break down the pickup artist playbook and ask a simple question: is there anything normal, sex positive people can actually learn from it?
Topics we explore include:
• Confidence and approach anxiety
• Why initiating conversations is so hard for many
• What pickup artists actually teach about attraction
• The difference between confidence and manipulation
• What healthy, sex positive dating advice should look like
Rather than mocking the community or blindly defending it, we take a thoughtful look at the pickup artist playbook and ask what lessons, if any, belong in the real world.
Because understanding how attraction works does not have to come at the expense of honesty, respect, or good sex.
Your Prescription Was Probably Made in China. Why That Matters
04 Mar 2026
00:38:59
Nearly 90% of all medications taken in the United States are generic drugs, and roughly 80% of those are manufactured overseas in countries like China, India, and Turkey.
But it was not always this way.
Before 1984, only about 10% of prescriptions were generic, and most medications were manufactured in the United States.
So what changed?
In this episode, we break down the history of generic drugs, the 1984 Hatch Waxman Act, and how global pharmaceutical manufacturing shifted from American factories to an international supply chain.
Understanding where your medications come from, how generics are approved, and how the global drug supply works matters more than most people realize.
Because whether you know it or not, almost everyone relies on this system.
We Keep Getting Grabbed at Sex-Positive Events
25 Feb 2026
00:50:15
If you want a mature telehealth (no subscription scams, 100% of providers are physicians, transparent pricing), we are ready for you at www.shamelesscare.com
Even when we are attending adult events professionally to discuss STI testing, sexual health, and public health policy, something surprising still happens.
Sometimes in subtle ways. Sometimes in ways that are not subtle at all.
Why does this still happen in sex positive spaces where everyone claims to understand consent?
Today we unpack explicit verbal consent and examine whether popular frameworks like the F.R.I.E.S. model are actually practical in real world social settings.
FRIES stands for Freely given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, and Specific. It is widely taught in college campuses, kink communities, and sex education programs. But is it simple enough for people who believe they are already “good at consent”?
Here is the uncomfortable truth.
Most people believe they are masters at reading body language. Most people believe they are respectful. Most people believe they would never cross a line.
And yet lines keep getting crossed.
In this episode we discuss:
• Why consent violations still happen in sex positive communities • The limits of enthusiastic consent in fast moving social environments • The difference between explicit verbal consent and contextual consent • Why being “experienced” does not mean being careful • Whether frameworks like FRIES, RACK, and SSC actually translate to casual adult events • Why professional environments do not magically create safer spaces
This is not an anti consent episode.
It is a realistic discussion about human behavior, ego, overconfidence, and the gap between theory and practice.
If you have ever thought, “I would never do that,” this episode is for you.
Because here is the kicker.
Everyone thinks they are good at consent.
Including you.
Your HIV Risk Is Probably Lower Than You Think
18 Feb 2026
00:39:05
Sex is good. Fear-based sex education is not.
In this episode, we take an honest, evidence-based look at HIV transmission — what your real risk actually is, how it’s measured, and why it’s often dramatically misunderstood.
We break down:
• Per-act HIV transmission rates (vaginal, anal, oral) • Why receptive anal sex carries higher risk — and what that actually means numerically • What U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable) truly means • How viral load changes risk • How PrEP reduces transmission • Where DoxyPEP fits — and where it doesn’t • Why panic often spreads faster than the virus
HIV is serious. It is also manageable, preventable, and in many contexts, far less transmissible than most people assume.
Understanding risk doesn’t encourage recklessness. It reduces stigma. It reduces fear. And it allows adults to make informed decisions about their bodies and relationships.
Sex is good. Let’s talk about it like adults.
The Spicy and Naughty History of Valentine's Day
10 Feb 2026
00:26:50
The more things change, the more they stay the same — and Valentine’s Day has always been about sex.
Long before heart-shaped chocolates and prix-fixe dinners, Valentine’s Day involved nearly naked young Roman men running through the streets and whipping women with goat skins to promote fertility. And yes — women lined up for it.
In this episode, the Sex Is Good podcast team dives into the sexy, strange, and unapologetically spicy history of Valentine’s Day, separating romantic myth from biological reality and cultural truth.
If you’re smart enough to listen to a science-based podcast about sex, you’re also smart enough to avoid subscription traps, poor customer service, and incomplete STI testing.
The ED Drug That Works in Your Brain, Not Your Penis
03 Feb 2026
00:31:52
Erections aren’t always a blood flow problem.
In this episode, we break down apomorphine, an ED medication that works in the brain, not the penis. Unlike sildenafil or tadalafil, apomorphine targets dopamine pathways involved in sexual arousal, motivation, and performance anxiety.
Rugiet has been advertised apomorphine a lot, but is it safe? Is it effective?
Wasn't it used to induce vomiting? Can it really be used for erectile dysfunction?
We explain how and why apomorphine works, who it’s actually for, how it differs from traditional ED medications, and why combining central and peripheral treatments can make a real difference for some men.
Your Brain on BDSM: The Psychology Behind Power, Trust, and Desire with Dr. Stephanie Sigler PhD
30 Jan 2026
00:50:32
BDSM is one of the most misunderstood areas of human sexuality. For many people, it’s assumed to be dangerous, pathological, or a sign that something is “wrong.” The psychology tells a very different story.
In this episode, we’re joined by certified sex therapist Dr. Stephanie Sigler to unpack what actually happens in the brain during consensual power exchange, why trust and communication are central to BDSM, and how these dynamics can be psychologically healthy for many people.
Bremelanotide (PT-141): The Desire Drug That Works on Your Brain, Not Your Blood Flow
27 Jan 2026
00:35:27
Bremelanotide, also known as PT-141, is one of the most misunderstood sexual health medications available today, and it has one of the strangest origin stories in modern medicine. It was originally studied as a tanning drug, but researchers noticed an unexpected side effect—spontaneous erections. That discovery led scientists to remove the skin-darkening component, resulting in bremelanotide as we know it today.
In this episode, we explain how PT-141 works on the brain rather than blood flow, why it’s considered an option for psychogenic erectile dysfunction in men, and why the same medication is used to increase sexual arousal in women. We break down what it does, what it doesn’t do, common misconceptions, and how it fits into a more honest conversation about desire, arousal, and sexual health.
That’s the short version. The full story is more nuanced, more interesting, and challenges a lot of what people think they know about ED meds and libido. To understand why bremelanotide works so differently—and who it may actually be appropriate for—you’ll have to listen to the episode.
What Is Hedonism II Resort? Interview With a Couple Who Has Visited Over 70 Times
23 Jan 2026
01:01:56
Hedonism II is a resort in Jamaica that’s split between two worlds: half clothing-optional, half nude-mandatory. It’s a place intentionally designed for adults who want freedom, curiosity, and connection without judgment.
Yes, people can have sex under the moon and stars. But they can also spend the day by the pool, dance all night long, and end up talking to a stranger in a hot tub at 4 a.m. who somehow feels like an old friend. The energy moves easily between playful, intimate, social, and surprisingly normal.
To separate myth from reality, we’re joined by the hosts of the Casual Swingers podcast, a couple who have been to Hedonism II more than 70 times. They aren’t marketers or first-timers chasing shock value. They’re regular people who keep coming back and have seen just about every version of the resort there is.
They explain what “casual” actually means in this context, how consent and boundaries work in real life, what newcomers tend to misunderstand, and why Hedonism II is far less about pressure or performance than outsiders assume. For some guests it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For others, it becomes a place of community, freedom, and familiarity that’s hard to find anywhere else.
Addyi: What Happens When Medicine Tries to Treat Desire
20 Jan 2026
00:46:50
Addyi was marketed as a breakthrough. But is one additional satisfying sexual experience per month, on average, worth abstaining from alcohol and accepting the risk of meaningful side effects? That question sits at the center of a drug that genuinely helps some people, while confusing and disappointing many others.
In this episode, we break down what Addyi actually is, what the clinical trials showed, why FDA approval was so controversial, and who this medication may or may not make sense for in real world practice. We also explore why treating desire pharmacologically is far more complicated than treating erections, and why comparisons to Viagra have always fallen short.
If you have ever wondered why Addyi inspires both hope and skepticism, this episode explains why.

Chlamydia has been around far longer than most people realize, long before antibiotics, modern testing, or even a clear understanding of what it was. In this episode, we walk through the surprisingly fascinating history of chlamydia, how it was misunderstood for centuries, how it was finally identified, and why those early blind spots still affect STI testing and diagnosis today.
This isn’t a scare tactic and it’s not a moral lecture. It’s a look at how medicine actually evolves, how “common and treatable” doesn’t always mean “harmless,” and why chlamydia continues to be one of the most frequently missed and misunderstood infections in sexual health.
If you’ve ever wondered why chlamydia is so common, why so many people have no symptoms, or why testing still fails people in very predictable ways, this episode will connect some dots.
Yes, really. It’s fascinating.
Encore! HPV-16 and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma
13 Jan 2026
00:41:23
Everyone knows that oral sex can cause cancer, but what kind? And is there a test for it?
Trigger warning: Cancer
Robert got a bit emotional at the beginning of this one. Cancer is a scary word.
HPV is one of the most common viruses on earth—and the leading cause of oropharyngeal cancer.
In this episode, we break down the link between HPV-16 and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). We’ll explain how many people carry oral HPV, how many carry HPV-16 specifically, and why there’s no screening test for OPSCC. More importantly, we’ll explain why there’s no screening: not because the system doesn’t care, but because science hasn’t shown it helps.
We also tackle the question everyone asks: is there a test? And if not, why not? The short answer: no, there’s no screening test for oral HPV that’s been shown to prevent cancer or save lives. Nor is there a screening test for OPSCC. And it’s not because the healthcare system is asleep at the wheel.
At Shameless Care, our job is simple: we find credible information and share it with you. Nothing in this episode is our personal opinion. Everything we discuss is based on published guidance and data from trusted sources like the National Cancer Institute, Oral Cancer Foundation, ASCCP, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the United States Preventive Services Task Force, the CDC, and others.
This is what we mean when we say “evidence-based education” and “evidence-based care.” So if this episode sparks strong feelings, please understand—we didn’t create these positions. We’re simply walking you through what the science currently says.
She Had Sex in a Car, Got an STI, and Filed an Auto Insurance Claim
09 Jan 2026
00:41:41
She had sex in a car, got an STI, and filed an auto insurance claim. And unbelievably, it worked.
In this episode, we unpack one of the strangest legal cases in recent memory. A woman contracts an STI after having sex in a parked car, files a claim under the driver’s auto insurance policy, and a court agrees that the infection counts as a covered bodily injury.
Yes. Really.
We walk through the full backstory. Who the people involved were. Why the claim was filed in the first place. How auto insurance bodily injury coverage works. Why the insurer declined to defend the case. How a default judgment happened. And how a Missouri appeals court initially upheld the verdict before the case was ultimately undone.
Along the way, we talk about why proving STI transmission is far more complicated than the lawsuit suggests, why the science matters, and why this case has absolutely nothing to do with personal responsibility or morality and everything to do with contract law, bad legal strategy, and procedural mistakes.
This is not an episode about whether someone deserved money. It is about how bizarre outcomes happen when biology, insurance language, and the legal system collide.
If you have ever wondered how far insurance coverage can be stretched, this episode answers that question in the most unhinged way possible.
You are not the man your grandfather was - the shocking decline of sperm and testosterone
06 Jan 2026
00:45:01
You are not the man your grandfather was. And that is not an insult. It is data.
Over the past several decades, sperm counts have fallen dramatically and average testosterone levels in men have declined across generations. This episode looks at what the research actually shows, what is still debated, and what is often exaggerated or misunderstood online.
This is not an episode about shaming modern masculinity. It is about understanding how bodies respond to modern life, why the data matters, and how to think clearly about male reproductive health without fear, politics, or pseudoscience.
Vaginal lubrication. You love it. You want it. But do you actually understand it?

Vaginal lubrication. You love it. You want it. But do you actually understand it?
In this episode, we break down what getting wet really means and why it is one of the most misunderstood parts of sex. We talk about how lubrication actually works, what arousal does and does not control, and why dryness is not a failure, a flaw, or a lack of desire.
We cover natural lubrication, hormone driven changes, medications, stress, menopause, postpartum bodies, and why relying on wetness as proof of attraction is bad science and bad sex education.
If you have ever wondered why commercial companies haven't yet replicated human lubrication, or why your body did not behave the way you expected, felt pressure to perform wetness, or assumed lubrication should be automatic, this episode is for you.
The Unsexy Side of Sex: BV, UTIs, Yeast — and How to Fix Them
30 Dec 2025
00:43:59
Sex is supposed to be fun — but for a lot of people, it comes with some unsexy side effects.
In this episode, we talk honestly about bacterial vaginosis (BV), urinary tract infections (UTIs), and yeast infections — why they’re common, why they often show up after sex, and why they’re not a sign that anything is “wrong” with you or your partner.
Most importantly, we walk through how these conditions are treated — when telehealth is appropriate, when you should see an in-person physician, and how to recognize red flags that mean you shouldn’t wait. We
This isn’t about shame, fear, or abstinence. It’s about understanding your body, knowing your options, and getting care that actually makes sense — whether that’s through telehealth or a traditional doctor’s visit.
If sex has ever come with discomfort, confusion, or frustration, this episode is for you.
Before the Little Blue Pill, ED Treatment Was Wild
26 Dec 2025
00:33:40
Before Viagra, erectile dysfunction was not treated with a discreet pill and a glass of water. It was treated with injections straight into the penis, vacuum pumps that looked like medical torture devices, hormone experiments, surgery, psychotherapy, and a truly impressive amount of bad science and outright nonsense. In this episode, we walk through what ED treatment actually looked like before the late 1990s and why some of those approaches were abandoned while others quietly remain more effective than people realize. We break down what worked, what failed, what was dangerous, and what modern medicine borrowed from those early attempts. Along the way, we explain how Viagra changed not just treatment, but culture, expectations, masculinity, and the business of sexual health itself. If you think ED treatment started with a little blue pill, this episode will completely reset your understanding.
Christmas Used to Be a Week Long Orgy
23 Dec 2025
00:35:02
Christmas is supposed to be wholesome. Family friendly. Safe. Historically, that could not be further from the truth.
Long before Christmas trees, carols, and Santa Claus, winter celebrations were loud, chaotic, and openly sexual. Ancient Romans celebrated Saturnalia with role reversals, heavy drinking, and public debauchery. Pagan solstice festivals across Europe centered fertility, sex, and rebirth. Medieval Christmas often looked more like a sanctioned carnival than a holy day. Even traditions we consider innocent today, like mistletoe, have roots in fertility rites and sexual symbolism.
In this episode, we explore the surprisingly sexy history of Christmas. How a once wild, pleasure filled season was gradually sanitized by religious and cultural forces. Why the Puritans tried to ban Christmas altogether. How the Victorians rebranded it into a respectable family holiday while quietly preserving just enough romance to keep things interesting. And why, even today, Christmas remains one of the most sexually active times of the year.
We also talk about modern parallels. Office holiday parties, lowered inhibitions, December baby booms, and why the end of the year has always been a time when people seek connection, intimacy, and release.
This is not a titillating episode and it is not shock for shock’s sake. It’s a thoughtful, evidence based look at how sex, culture, religion, and human nature have always intersected around the darkest days of the year.
If you have ever wondered why Christmas feels a little charged beneath the tinsel and traditions, this episode explains exactly why.
HIV The Unbelievable History From Tragedy to Triumph
19 Dec 2025
00:38:19
For decades, HIV was a diagnosis defined by fear, stigma, and loss. In this episode, we trace the true history of HIV from its earliest recognition through the AIDS crisis and into the modern era of treatment and prevention. We explore how science, activism, politics, and public misunderstanding shaped the epidemic, and how HIV became one of the most studied and treatable viral diseases in human history.
