We often hear "consent is simple" — but we think that's pretty unhelpful. People aren't simple, relationships are complex, and sex looks different every time.

In this episode, we explore what it really means to navigate intimacy and relationships in ways that are respectful, clear, and mutually pleasurable. Host Anthony Stefanos sits down with sex educator Georgia Grace, content creator Meissa Mason, and professional climber Campbell Harrison to unpack what consent and boundary-setting actually look like in practise. Together, the group tackles myths like “consent kills the mood,” breaks down the idea that consent is a contract, and talks openly about why checking in can be sexy, not awkward.

They also explore how gender roles, social pressure, and personal confidence can shape how we set (or fail to set) our own boundaries—and how to change that for the better. Whether you’re in a relationship, dating around, or just figuring this stuff out, this one’s packed with practical insights and the kind of honest chat that makes complicated concepts feel genuinely doable.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the mess around sex, dating, and safe practices - like why talking about STIs, contraception, and boundaries shouldn’t feel awkward but essential. From porn and social media to outdated ideas about flirting and sex, we look at how confusion and pressure can lead people to ignore their comfort or rush into things. We’ll bust common myths, explore how to navigate consent in and out of the moment, and chat about why safe sex is more than just condoms - it’s about respect, communication, and shared responsibility.

From knockoffs and beach cans to late-night hookups, alcohol is so often baked into our social and sexual experiences — whether we ourselves drink or not. But when it comes to consent, the lines can get blurred.In this episode, host Anthony Stefanos is joined by Jack Toohey, Dee Salmin and Tom Forrest for an honest conversation about the role alcohol plays in our sex lives. Together, they explore how alcohol affects judgement, what "capacity to consent" really means, and how to read the room (and yourself) when things escalate.

There’s plenty of practical advice too — like how to check in with a partner, how to know when someone’s too drunk, and why asking for consent is never a mood killer. This episode is for anyone navigating dating, parties, relationships or hookups — whether you drink or not.

Gender expectations shape so much — what we wear, how we're expected to behave, the roles we ‘should’ fill at home, in our careers, and our relationships.

In this episode, Anthony Stefanos is joined by Daniel Principe, Blake Pavey, Gina Martin, and Brodie Grundy for an insightful conversation about how gender roles shape our sense of identity — and the harm they can do. Together, the group dives into how pressure to be a “real man” or “perfect woman” can mess with how we form relationships, express emotions, or feel safe being ourselves.

They talk body counts, footy culture, hyper-masculine role models, social media echo chambers, and the impossible tightrope of femininity. This is an unfiltered and honest conversation about unlearning what we’ve been taught —and the liberation that comes in redefining our gender on our own terms.

The statistics around sexual assault are hard to stomach, but we've all got the power to curb them. In this episode, host Anthony Stefanos is joined by Angie Wan, Gina Martin and Emerson Brophy to explore how sexual violence has become normalised — and what we can do about it.

From locker room talk and rape jokes to disbelief and victim-blaming, they examine how seemingly small moments build a culture where sexual harm is downplayed, denied, or straight-up dismissed. Together, they unpack the “rape culture pyramid” — a concept that explains how normalised disrespect, objectification and entitlement can lay the foundations for more serious harm.

They also tackle common myths: like the idea that sexual assault can't happen in relationships, that false accusations are common, or that men can’t be victims. The group shares personal reflections, hard truths and practical ways to shift the culture — from how we speak to our mates, to how we respond when someone discloses harm, to how we reflect on our own learned behaviours. It’s about being honest, open, and proactive — not perfect.

Whether you’ve been impacted by sexual violence, want to be a better ally, or just feel confused about how to navigate these conversations, this episode offers clarity, insight, and tools for change.
