Sex History 101: We Once Worshiped Sex, Now We Hide It

Season 1 · Episode 3

mercredi 27 novembre 2024Duration 20:43

Did you know sex history can be traced back 50,000 years?

Yup. In episode 3 of the Pleasure Science Podcast Nadège gives you a yummy crash course in history!

She explains why today’s society thinks sex is taboo, and how differently we viewed sex for most of human history.

Honestly, this scholarship is fascinating. Especially if you've ever found yourself wondering: where did sexual shame come from and what can we do to heal this?

Nadège answers this question, plus she shares some scholarship on trans gods throughout history.

Yes, you read that right, too! There are gods who were worshiped because they transitioned to a different gender.

God Loves Sex? All Things Pleasure, Mindfulness & Religion

Season 1 · Episode 4

mercredi 4 décembre 2024Duration 56:47

How do you reconcile spirituality with sexuality?  For so many of us, religion was a tool used to make us feel shame or fear for our erotic desires.

That's why Nadège sits down with Dr. Tara, a tenured professor of sexual communication and a practicing Buddhist. Dr. Tara opens up about her journey with sexual empowerment and how she maintains integrity with her religious practice while also honoring her desires.

Nadège and Dr. Tara discuss different elements of mindfulness, from meditation to plant-based medicine, and give tips on how you can start having mindful sex right now!

If you have ever struggled to reconcile your relationship with spirituality and sex, this one is for you.

Dr. Tara is a tenured professor of sexual communication and the founder of LUV. When she's not teaching, she creates sex education content for her millions of social media followers, writes her column 'Sexplore' for Women's Health, hosts her podcast LuvBites, co-hosts the UK's hit TV show Celebs Go Dating, and co-hosts the popular radio show Loveline.

Monogamy Isn't Natural, It Was Created

Season 1 · Episode 5

mercredi 11 décembre 2024Duration 29:24

Relationships are beautiful, and they come in many forms. Today, we are taught that love should look a certain way: two people in a monogamous relationship with the goal of a life-long marriage.

Enjoying a monogamous marriage is a beautiful way to be in love - but I would be lying if I told you that this relationship style is the natural way human connection evolves.

The truth is monogamy was created for a specific purpose, and that purpose might surprise you (it also might piss you off).

In the name of love, I share this scholarship about history, power, and relationships with you. This episode is not meant to tell you how to love, but to open your heart to the diverse ways humans fall in love and the many styles of relationships we can have.

Discover the history of monogamy and why it was created. I hope this episode makes you more open-minded to different relationship styles and helps you be the best partner to the person (or people) you are in love with.

Episode 3 - Sex History 101

Rethink How You F*ck with Queer Sex Tips

Season 1 · Episode 12

mercredi 12 février 2025Duration 48:54

What if everything you thought you knew about sex was just one version of the story?

In this episode, Nadège is joined by author and activist Lucie Fielding, whose groundbreaking work on trans sex is reshaping how we think about pleasure, bodies, and desire. Together, these two scholars explore how queering sex (i.e. breaking free from ideas of what sex should be) can make intimacy more exciting, fulfilling, and inclusive for everyone.

In this eye-opening conversation, Nadège and Lucie talk about:

  • The real reason why the traditional sex script limits your pleasure
  • How renaming body parts can transform intimacy
  • What “muffing” is and why you might want to try it

If you’ve ever felt like sex was supposed to look a certain way, this episode will give you permission to rewrite the rules.

What's the Heterosexual Timeline? (How I realized I'm gay!)

Season 1 · Episode 11

mercredi 5 février 2025Duration 22:27

Have you ever questioned the romantic milestones society tells us we should follow?

The "Heterosexual Timeline"—also known as the Relationship Escalator—is something you’ve probably never heard of, and yet it is the thing telling you what it means to be successful in love.

This unspoken timeline is the reason why most of us date the way we do, it’s why we assume that if you’re in love you should get married, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

At one point we have to ask ourselves, what if the ways we’ve learned how to love has nothing to do with our desires, needs, or our identity?

In this week’s episode, Nadège shares her personal coming-out story and explores how queer people have felt freer to make their own rules in relationships (and why this is a mentality EVERYONE should have!)

This episode will change the way you think about sex, love, and relationships.

Listen now and start creating your own timeline for love!
