| Monogamy Isn't Natural, It Was Created | 11 Dec 2024 | 00:29:24 | |
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.

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

| What's the Heterosexual Timeline? (How I realized I'm gay!) | 05 Feb 2025 | 00:22:27 | |
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!

| Everything You Know About Sex & Disability Is Wrong | 11 Feb 2026 | 00:54:05 | |
Disability is not the opposite of sexuality. On this week’s episode of Pleasure Science, sex scholar Nadège sits down with Andrew Gurza, Disability Awareness Consultant, to share crip sex tips and sex wisdom for everyone. What improves disabled sex improves sex overall. Access is erotic. Asking for help, tools, positioning, and care is not a mood killer; it is a doorway. Crip sex is a culture, not a workaround. It’s inventive, proud, and unapologetically hot. Asking for help to have sex is one of the key moments that elevates arousal to intimacy and trust, which softens shame immediately. As we all learn the pleasure science of relationships and intimacy, disability and ableism must be part of the conversation. This episode is one that will get you thinking, and I hope, open your heart as well as your eyes. Let’s build a future where disability stops being thought of as “them” and becomes “us.” Show Notes: Pleasure Science Courses - Use pleasuresciencepod at checkout to receive 10% off!
