Get confident with consent, s*x and relationships – one honest conversation at a time.
From the team behind Teach Us Consent, this podcast breaks down the stuff we wish we’d learnt sooner – what flirting and dating respectfully looks like, how alcohol affects consent, the best ways to respond to rejection, how gender roles can cause harm in everyday life, and the ways p*rn and algorithms shape our views on s*x and one another.
This podcast is here to make those big conversations easier, clearer, and way more human. No shame. No judgement. S*x and relationship education we all deserve.

'...Now What?' Part 3: Consent, accountability, proper apologies with Kath Ebbs, Outback Tom & Louis Phillips
Saison 1 · Épisode 3
jeudi 30 avril 2026 • Durée 53:43
Part 3 | Consent is a word we often hear, and it’s absolutely fundamental to hooking up. It’s a baseline expectation we should all have, both legally and ethically, when it comes to sex. Even still, many people admit to some form of sexual violence, the most common being sexual harassment and coercion. Some people may not even know that they’ve perpetrated sexual violence, and learn that they have many years later. None of it is okay. So why is it happening? Well, there are several factors, but entitlement, inadequate education, and societal pressures are key reasons. What does accountability look like for somebody who has felt entitled to sex and crossed a boundary? What does adequate education look like? Where does accountability stop and punishment start? And how can all of this work together to build healthier and safer relationships for all of us?While we’ve made big strides in raising awareness about sexual harassment and sexual assault, it’s still pretty common.The more we learn about consent and what sexual violence actually looks like, the more we might start to reflect on our past interactions and realise we might have actually caused harm.So, when that happens, what’s next?The Line and Teach Us Consent teamed up to have a conversation with amazing role models @kathebbs@louis.phillips12 and @outbacktom about just that. And just a note, this episode talks about some pretty heavy topics to do with emotions, relationships, s*x and consent. If you need support, help is available.

'... Now What?' Part 2: We all make mistakes. What do you do next? With Kath Ebbs, Outback Tom & Louis Phillips
Saison 1 · Épisode 2
jeudi 23 avril 2026 • Durée 38:18
Part 2 | In all of our relationships, there are some really obvious no-goes - things that if we do them, the consequences are most likely going to be pretty heavy – cheating, violence, that kind of thing.
But most of the mistakes we make, and things we really need to be accountable for are more hidden, and we might even do them every day.
@theline_au and @teachusconsent have teamed up to chat about misogyny, sexism, reinforcing gender stereotypes and everything that fits into that.

'... Now What?' Part 1: What does 'accountability' actually mean? With Kath Ebbs, Outback Tom & Louis Phillips
Saison 1 · Épisode 1
jeudi 16 avril 2026 • Durée 32:22
Part 1 | Learning you’ve made a mistake and hurt someone is a shitty feeling. And honestly, in an era of so-called 'cancel culture' and social media, it can feel like the moment you admit that, you risk opening yourself up to public shaming. So, instead of owning a mistake, a lot of us do the easier thing. We bury it, avoid accountability, and try not to think about it at all.The thing is, though, we've all been there, we’ve all made mistakes, we all have regrets. Nobody is expecting you to get it all right all the time.
So, is there a place where we can make mistakes, have regret, reflect on it, take accountability, and be better because of it?The Line and Teach Us Consent have teamed up to explore that, how we can get to the place, and what we can do when we mess up.

Teach Us About: Performance Anxiety, Body Count & Owning Up To Mistakes
dimanche 12 avril 2026 • Durée 47:11
Our s*x lives and relationships are deeply shaped by the messages we absorb — online, in culture, and in the way we talk about each other.
In this episode, we unpack the rise of “body count” culture, from AI tools that claim to estimate it, to the gendered double standards and myths that sit underneath it - exploring how these narratives play out in real life, the pressure they place on both men and women, and how they can fuel shame, entitlement, and an impossible set of expectations around being both “experienced” and “pure.” From there, we dig into performance anxiety: how sex becomes something to get right rather than something to experience, the impact of porn scripts and spectatorship, and why being stuck in your head can disconnect you from your body and your partner. Then we chat about accountability, and what it actually means to take responsibility for harm, why it can feel so difficult, and how repair, communication, and behaviour change are central to respectful relationships.

Teach Us About: AI Girlfriends, The Science of Rejection & The Ban on P*rn
dimanche 29 mars 2026 • Durée 45:16
The way we learn about sex, relationships, and connection is changing, and is for the better?
In this episode, we unpack new online safety changes aimed at limiting young people’s exposure to harmful content, and explore how p*rn, social media, and algorithms are shaping expectations around s*x, consent, and bodies. We talk through the “scripts” people absorb from p*rn — from coercion and aggression to unrealistic ideas of pleasure and performance — and how these can make it harder to understand what we actually want, communicate or respect boundaries, and experience safe, mutual intimacy. We dig into the science of rejection — why it can feel so intense, how it shows up across friendships, dating, and everyday life, and how to respond in ways that support both accountability and self-worth. Then we're joined by Callum from The Man Cave to chat about AI companions. We discuss why people are turning to them for emotional connection, and what they can and can’t offer when it comes to building real relationships.

Will Gibb On: Adult Circumcision, Dating & What Masculinity Really Is
dimanche 15 mars 2026 • Durée 37:54
Sex, dating, and confidence can feel like a minefield — especially when the messages we grow up with about masculinity, relationships, and bodies don’t leave much room for honesty or vulnerability.
In this episode, we are joined by comedian, content creator & podcaster Will Gibb for a candid conversation about growing up gay in an all-boys school, the lessons (and misconceptions) we absorb about sex and masculinity, and how those early messages shape our confidence in dating and relationships. Together, they unpack modern dating culture, the humour and absurdity that makes it so parody-able.
Will also shares his personal experience choosing to get circumcised as an adult after experiencing pain during sex, opening up a wider discussion about sexual health, communication, and why so many people feel unable to speak up when something doesn’t feel right.
From painful sex and taboo conversations among men to the myth that discomfort is something partners should simply endure, this episode explores how silence can undermine both pleasure and consent, and why honest communication is essential for respectful, healthy relationships.

Teach Us About: New Sex Trends, The Male Hormonal Cycle & Affection in Sport
dimanche 1 mars 2026 • Durée 42:55
Sport culture shapes so much of how we understand masculinity — strength, stoicism, triumph, and the pressure to “play on” no matter what.
In this episode, we chat about moments that push back against that script, from athletes using big stages to speak about mental health, to teammates openly showing affection for one another. We unpack why it’s not as simple as telling men to “just open up,” and why healthy expressions of masculinity can still attract backlash. The conversation then widens to the male hormonal cycle, before diving into emerging sex and relationship trends like scrolling social media during intimacy and declining condom use in young people.

Teach Us About: Red Pilling, That ‘Time of the Month’ & Pressure To Have Kids
dimanche 15 février 2026 • Durée 47:39
When online ideologies spill into real life, they shape how we date, relate to each other, and how we see ourselves.In this episode, we unpack the rise of “red-pill” thinking and the mainstreaming of beliefs about “high-value” men and women, the irony around “body count”, and challenge the double standards and rape myths embedded in these narratives – to refocus the conversation on accountability and respect. Then we zoom out to the broader gender expectations many of us grew up with — around sex, bodies, parenthood, and who is meant to provide or nurture — and how silence and shame around women’s health is still prevalent today.

Teach Us About: False Accusations, Penis Filler & Social Media Health Advice
dimanche 8 février 2026 • Durée 45:25
Shame, fear, and misinformation shape far more of our lives than we’re taught to notice.
In this episode, we unpack the fear of false accusations and the real harm they can cause, while separating that fear from the reality that sexual violence is widespread and vastly under-reported. We explore why so few victim-survivors go to police, including disbelief, community backlash, cultural stigma, re-traumatisation, and the long, punishing nature of the legal process, as well as why many people only recognise or report harm years later.
From there, the conversation widens to how insecurity is manufactured more broadly — from porn and social media distorting what bodies “should” look like, to growing pressure around genital appearance, cosmetic procedures, and intimate hygiene products that create shame to sell solutions.

Teach Us About: How Much S*x Is Normal, Mismatched Desires & Unfollowing Women On Social Media
lundi 2 février 2026 • Durée 37:54
Online rhetoric spreads quickly, and we're seeing young men increasingly being told that women are a distraction to be eliminated rather than voices to be heard.
In this episode, we unpack the rise of male influencers encouraging boys and men to unfollow women who post photos of their bodies so they can “lock in,” and what this reveals about objectification, control, and the idea that women are responsible for men’s focus and behaviour. The conversation then turns to sex and desire, examining different desire styles, why constant sexual wanting is treated as the ideal, and how pressure around “normal” amounts of sex can push people into intimacy they don’t actually want. We challenge the belief that 'everyone is having more sex than you', and centre the importance of consent in all relationships – by reframing the questions that matter most: is sex pleasurable, is communication working, and can everyone freely say yes or no.
