Saison 1 · Épisode 14
jeudi 4 juin 2026 • Durée 39:25
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Shannon Chavez, a licensed clinical psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist who blends evidence-based psychology, attachment theory, sexual medicine, and holistic wellness practices to help people create healthier relationships with themselves and their partners.

Why We Get Jealous: Dr. Justin Mogilski on Pair Bonding, Competition, and Communication | Episode 13
Saison 1 · Épisode 13
jeudi 28 mai 2026 • Durée 36:17
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Justin Mogilski, an evolutionary psychologist and associate professor leading an international research team studying consensually non-monogamous (CNM) relationships.

Dr. Mogilski breaks down common myths about CNM, including the idea that only exceptionally intelligent or emotionally detached people can successfully navigate these relationships.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Communication about jealousy and attraction is one of the strongest predictors of relationship satisfaction in CNM relationships

Why Couples Struggle with Desire, Intimacy and Communication | Vanessa Marin | Episode 4
Saison 1 · Épisode 4
jeudi 16 avril 2026 • Durée 29:50
What do you mean it’s normal to not want sex with your partner all the time? We talked with Vanessa Marin, licensed psychotherapist, sex therapist, and globally recognized intimacy educator, to explore what really creates lasting intimacy in modern relationships. From sharing her own relationship publicly to reaching millions through digital education, Vanessa brings an honest and practical perspective to conversations about sex.
We talk through some of the most common challenges couples face, including desire discrepancy, communication struggles, and the pressure to feel spontaneous desire. Vanessa reframes these experiences and explains why great s//x is not about waiting to feel in the mood, but about creating experiences that are actually worth wanting and learning how to communicate clearly with your partner.
Key takeaways:
- Desire discrepancy is normal in every relationship and not something to fix, but to understand.
- Specific communication tools and scripts are far more effective than generic advice.
- Focusing on the experience of sex and why it is "worth wanting" is more important than waiting for desire to strike.

00:00 – Introduction to Vanessa Marin
01:31 – Sharing intimacy publicly and vulnerability in relationships
03:48 – Vanessa’s origin story and early experiences with sexual shame
04:52 – Why professionals must do their own internal work first 06:07 – Moving beyond vague advice in sex therapy toward specificity
08:22 – Deep dive into understanding desire discrepancy in couples 11:11– Why focusing on sexual experience and sex worth wanting matters more than desire
12:53 – Transitioning from private practice to digital education 15:43 – The Sexology Practice Guide: Scaling impact
18:00 – Working with her husband and teaching as a couple 22:47 – The number one factor for long term intimacy is communication

Saison 1 · Épisode 3
vendredi 10 avril 2026 • Durée 30:28

Dr. Goldstein discusses his mission to destigmatize anal health and education, sharing insights from his book, Butt Seriously: The Definitive Guide to Anal Health, Pleasure, and Everything in Between. He explains how his own journey from cardiac surgery to specializing in queer-friendly intimate health was driven by a need for better standards of care and education in the community.

The Missing Science Behind Women's Health and Chronic Pain | Dr Maria Uloko | Episode 2
Saison 1 · Épisode 2
vendredi 10 avril 2026 • Durée 52:29
In this powerful conversation, Dr. Maria Uloko, an internationally acclaimed urologist and sexual medicine specialist, discusses the critical gaps in medical education regarding vulvar and sexual health. She shares her journey from a Nigerian immigrant to a leading surgeon and researcher, emphasizing why so many patients are currently suffering from misdiagnosed chronic conditions.
Dr. Uloko highlights the urgent need for both clinicians and patients to understand the intricacies of vulvar physiology to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment. She advocates for a shift in the medical paradigm toward curiosity and rigorous science to transform outcomes for patients experiencing pelvic pain, menopause, and sexual dysfunction.
Key Takeaways
- Medical Misdiagnosis: Many conditions labeled as "chronic" are actually misdiagnosed cases resulting from a lack of clinical training in vulvar physiology and the impact of hormones.
- The Power of Advocacy: Patients must be educated on their own anatomy to become effective self-advocates, especially as the current healthcare system is often not incentivized to provide this specialized education.
- Hormonal Health: Vulvar health is deeply dependent on both estrogen and testosterone; replacing these hormones can often reverse "chronic" conditions like recurrent UTIs and inflammation.
Show Summary
- 00:00 - Empowering patients through anatomical education and self-advocacy.
- 01:31 - Critiquing medical education and the lack of research in vulvar healthcare.

- 09:52 - The rise of grassroots patient advocacy groups like Tight Lipped.
- 11:34 - Insights into vulvar regeneration and the link between vulvar and bladder health.
- 13:58 - Breaking the cycle of generational trauma and body shame.
- 17:13 - Redefining "chronic" conditions as misdiagnoses in sexual health.
- 20:13 - Educating patients to drive change within the healthcare system.
- 21:27 - Addressing medical misogyny and the importance of clinical curiosity.
- 24:30 - Why rigorous research is the foundation of effective advocacy.
- 30:29 - Shifting the diagnostic mindset: Becoming a "Sexual Health Sherlock".
- 32:21 - The impact of testosterone on vulvar health and the side effects of birth control.
- 38:59 - Reframing menopause as a transition rather than a decline.
- 41:13 - Debunking HRT myths and providing true informed consent.

The Myth of 'Normal' in Intimacy and Relationships | Dr Chris Donaghue | Episode 1
Saison 1 · Épisode 1
vendredi 10 avril 2026 • Durée 45:15
This episode features Dr. Chris Donaghue, an internationally recognized expert in human sexuality and the Director of Clinical Education at Sexual Health Alliance. The discussion explores Dr. Donaghue's professional journey from the rigid structures of sex addiction clinics to a transformative, sexual health-focused model. He shares deep insights into the pitfalls of pop culture, which he argues often reinforces problematic norms and misuses therapeutic language.
A major focus of the conversation is the concept of "sexual bypassing," a term Dr. Donaghue uses to describe how individuals often use rigid labels and habits to manage sexual anxiety rather than embracing true intimacy and eroticism. He encourages both clinicians and the public to move away from medicalized "correction" models and instead focus on pleasure, authenticity, and confidence in one's unique expression of sexuality.
Key Takeaways
- Challenge Conventional Labels: Move beyond rigid sexual identities and "hard lines" (like top/bottom or specific performance expectations) that are often just habits used to manage anxiety rather than reflect true desire.
- Individualization Over Conformity: True sexual health involves stepping outside cultural norms and "pop culture" expectations to find what is authentically pleasurable for you.
- Focus on Pleasure, Not Performance: Shift the perspective from "fixing" sexual dysfunction to understanding it as "disappointment" driven by unrealistic standards; prioritize how sex feels over how it is performed.
Show Summary

- 01:30 Fun Fact: From Pet Critic to Dog Lover
- 02:26 Origin Story: Reacting Against Traditional Sex Addiction Models
