Sex, Love & Science with Lauren Muratore – Details, episodes & analysis

This episode kicks off Season 3 with sexual fantasy guru Artemisia de Vine.  First she explains what sexual fantasies are. Artemisia then discusses that it is typical for an ego to resist states of consciousness. That the ego wants to protect us from being vulnerable.  Yet the best sex is when we loose ourself and our ego in the moment.  Artemisia’s method explains a radical way to look at taking the shame out of fantasies, and that paradoxically a fantasy is providing us a poison and an antidote to help this.  “You can trust your desire, it will lead you to your higher self”, says Artemisia, so buckle up and unpack how to loose yourself for better sex.

Believe it or not, women pay for sex- and it’s on the rise.  Let’s flip the perception of sex work and abolish stigma. Join me talking with Melbourne based straight male sex worker Mason Hunter to get a sneak peak into what his job actually entails.  Mason shares what a client is usually looking for, how he works with couples, and even shares some secrets on how couples can maintain a healthy sex life.  He also gives men valuable tips and divulges what women really are looking for (which corroborates with my clinical experience).  “Women want hugs, to be heard, the truth, and some good hard f*cking.”  Prepare for some laughter, stunt c0ck discussions, and some valuable sexual insight from the fervent and charming Mason Hunter.

Are you single and dating? How do you date the right people? What are the red flags to look out for? What are the green flags to seek? Tips from two couples therapists and sex therapists on how to date well. This episode is all about the highs, lows and in-betweens of dating. 

Are you struggling to feel sexual because you're exhausted? Have you lost your libido, but you still want to connect with your partner sexually? What do we do when one person has capacity for sex, and the other doesn't? It's absolutely possible to be sexual when you're low on energy/spoons/capacity. We explore how you can discuss your capacity for sex with your partner/s and how to find sexual and sensual activities that meet you where you are at. 

As many as 75% of vulva owners and 1-5% of penis owners experience sexual pain. While pain during sex is a common experience, it isn’t something you should accept and just live with. In this episode we demystify the main causes for sexual pain, including readiness for penetration, vaginismus and vulvodynia. We discuss modern approaches for treatment and how to reconnect with pleasure following sexual pain.  

Are you constantly dating people that aren't right for you? Do you sabotage your relationship in repeated ways? Attachment refers to the bonds we formed with our primary caregivers, that translate into templates for our future romantic partners. We explore how our attachment styles impact romantic and sexual relationships. Learn how to become securely attached and form long-lasting relationships. 

Around 70% of all marriages experience an affair of some kind, be it physical, emotional, or breaking the shared relationship rules. Infidelity related issues are approximately a third of clinical cases we see. We explore why people cheat, how to recover from infidelity, and how to re-establish trust and intimacy. Infidelity doesn’t have to be the end of your relationship, we discuss how your relationship can be even stronger.

Is sex the last thing on your mind but also something you really want to want? Do you know how to manage your turn offs? Or maybe you’re wondering how to turn your partner on? In this episode we explore the Dual Control Model by Eric Janseen & John Bancroft; aka brakes and accelerators – how to manage your turn ons and turn offs to maximise opportunities for sexual connection with yourself/partner/s.

How do you initiate sex? Do you constantly feel rejected by your partner? Have you lost the impulse to instigate sexual intimacy? Many sexual challenges start before the sex even begins, with failed attempts to initiate sex. This episode covers sexual initiation styles, verbal and non verbal cues, and how to speak with your partner/s about sexual initiation. Learn how to best initiate sex with your partner with the support of two sex therapists, Lauren Muratore and Lauren Bradley.
