Episode 130: Change Your Mind, Change Your Sex Life
September 23, 2022 11:00 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MBYour brain truly is your biggest sex organ, which means that if you want to have more–and better–sex, the key is really to make sure that you’re in the right headspace. However, this is something that a lot of us struggle with. We’re just not in the right place mentally in order for desire to set in, or to let go and become fully immersed in pleasure. We’re too distracted. We’re too stressed. We’re constantly thinking about our own insecurities. But this doesn’t have to be the case. So let’s...
Episode 129: When Sexual Thoughts Become Sex Crimes
September 20, 2022 11:00 - 35 minutes - 18 MBMost people have had a sexual fantasy about something that would be illegal to do in reality. That’s normal. But talking about those fantasies sometimes gets people into a lot of trouble because law enforcement may look at fantasy as a sign of criminal intent. But does having a fantasy about doing something illegal and talking about it with others necessarily mean that you’re likely to do it? This is just one of many fascinating and complicated questions that arises in the area where sex, ps...
Episode 128: How To Stop Having Bad Sex
September 16, 2022 10:15 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBA lot of people in long-term relationships lose desire for sex and start thinking there’s something wrong with them. But, in many cases, the problem isn’t that they lack desire per se–it’s that they’ve simply been having bad sex. They lost interest in sex because it just wasn’t worth having, which means that getting desire back isn’t about taking some pill or medication; rather, it’s about making sure that you’ve having sex that’s worth having. So let’s talk about how to make the shift from ...
Episode 127: Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys
September 13, 2022 12:00 - 32 minutes - 17 MBThere are a lot of heterosexual women out there who enjoy watching man-on-man pornography. In fact, some of the most popular tube sites in the world have reported that gay male porn is amongst the most-watched genres by female visitors. So why is that? And why do so many of these women enjoy gay male porn more than heterosexual porn? Let’s explore! I am joined by Lucy Neville, a Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Leicester, a published writer of erotica (under a pen name), and por...
Episode 126: Why Women Lose Desire For Sex Faster Than Men
September 09, 2022 11:00 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBMany sex therapists have argued that women’s sexual desire is relational, meaning that as long as a woman is in a good relationship and she’s connected with her partner, interest in sex should naturally follow. But that doesn’t match up with reality. A lot of women with low sexual desire say that their relationships are otherwise perfect. Why is that? It turns out that the things that make for a very satisfying relationship are sometimes at odds with the things that turn us on. So is it even...
Episode 125: The Path to Sexual Empowerment
September 06, 2022 11:00 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MBWhen it comes to sex, you deserve to get what you want and to be in control of your body, your pleasure, and your sexual health. However, in order to do that, you have to be sexually empowered. You have to know what it is that you want in the first place, and be able to communicate about that. This is something that a lot of us really struggle with, so let’s talk about sexual empowerment. Today’s show is all about building up your sexual self-confidence, learning how to ask for what you want...
Episode 124: How To Have Great Outercourse
September 02, 2022 11:30 - 26 minutes - 12.7 MBThe terms “sex” and “intercourse” are often used interchangeably, but the truth is that sex doesn’t have to include intercourse at all! In fact, outercourse often makes for even more satisfying sex. “Outercourse” is the general term for any sexual activities that aren’t focused on vaginal or anal penetration. By practicing more outercourse, we stand to benefit in a lot of ways, from discovering new sources of pleasure to adding more novelty in the bedroom to closing the orgasm gap. Today’s e...
Episode 123: Sex Ed For Healthcare Professionals
August 30, 2022 11:30 - 22 minutes - 31.3 MBThe state of sex education is poor for American adolescents—but you probably already knew that. However, what you may not realize is that the state of sex ed for adults entering fields like medicine, psychology, and nursing isn’t all that great, either. There’s no universal standard for how sexuality should be taught in most healthcare training programs, nor is there even a requirement that it be taught at all! The sex ed deficit in medical education is hurting all of us, so let’s talk about...
Episode 122: Born This Way? It’s More Complicated Than That
August 26, 2022 11:00 - 50 minutes - 94.4 MBWhen it comes to both sexual identity and gender identity, it’s not uncommon for people to say “I was born this way.” However, while both same-sex attraction and gender non-conformity are indeed linked to various biomarkers, the way people come to adopt specific identities is far more than just a simple function of their biological makeup. Identities are socially and culturally constructed. As a result, sexual and gender identities vary considerably across time and culture. It’s important fo...
Episode 121: Why Dating Sucks, And How To Make It Better
August 23, 2022 12:00 - 41 minutes - 77.4 MBOur dating lives are a mess. Nationally representative US surveys conducted prior to the COVID-19 pandemic found that about two-thirds of single Americans said their dating lives weren’t going well. Today, a majority of them say that the pandemic has only made things worse. So why is modern dating so hard? And how can we make things better? That’s what today’s episode is all about. My guest is Dr. Tara, an associate professor of relational and sexual communication at California State Univer...
Episode 120: Penis Performance Problems
August 19, 2022 12:15 - 34 minutes - 16.3 MBIf you have a penis, then you probably already know that it doesn’t always do what you want it to do. Sometimes you’ll get an erection when you don’t want one–and sometimes you won’t be able to get an erection when you do want one. Relax. That’s normal. But when does it start to cross the line into a sexual difficulty in need of treatment? And what are the best ways to manage erectile difficulties? That’s what today’s show is all about. I am joined by Dr. Amy Pearlman, a men’s sexual health...

Some of the topics we explore in this show include: What does the term kink really mean anyway? And what’s the difference between kink, fetish...
Episode 118: Our Biggest Sex Secrets Revealed
August 12, 2022 10:30 - 30 minutes - 15 MBWe keep a lot of things about our lives secret–but especially sexual things. People may hide their sexual thoughts, behaviors, and even feelings. And, sometimes, these secrets interfere with our pursuit of sexual and relationship happiness. So why do we hide so much about our sex lives in the first place? And if you want to let your partner in on a sexual secret, what do you need to know? Today’s episode is a deep dive into sexual and relationship secrets. Michael Slepian returns to the sho...
Episode 117: The Secret Life of Secrets
August 09, 2022 11:00 - 34 minutes - 17.5 MBThink about a secret you’re keeping right now. Odds are, it shouldn’t take long for something to come to mind. We all keep secrets. In fact, the average person is keeping roughly 13 secrets at any given point in time! So what exactly are we hiding, and why are we hiding so much? Today’s episode offers a deep dive into the psychology of secrets. We’ll explore why secrecy is such a pervasive part of our lives, the psychological effects of secrecy, how to deal with the burdens of secrecy, and m...
Episode 116: Abortion Fact Versus Fiction
August 05, 2022 11:00 - 29 minutes - 41 MBAll too often, political debates about abortion are full of myths and misconceptions. For this reason, a better understanding of abortion is crucial. So that’s what today’s episode is all about. We’re going to discuss common things that people get wrong about abortion, why abortion bans don’t work as intended, and why comprehensive sex education and improved access to contraceptives are the keys to reducing abortion rates. I am joined by Dr. Rachel Needle, a licensed psychologist and certif...
Episode 115: My Trip To The Penis Museum & Why Travel Makes Us Horny
August 02, 2022 12:00 - 23 minutes - 45.1 MBHave you ever noticed yourself feeling hornier than usual when you travel? If so, you’re not alone. Being away from home seems to put a lot of people in the mood for sex. So why is that? The answer is actually surprisingly complex. A whole host of factors change when we go on vacation or take a trip and–together–they have the potential to create far more opportunities for sexual desire and arousal to set in than we typically experience at home. So let’s talk about travel horniness! In this ...
Episode 114: How To Change Your Sexual Mindset
July 29, 2022 11:00 - 29 minutes - 54.1 MBOne of the keys to having truly great sex is approaching it with the right mindset. However, this isn’t something that we’re usually taught in sex education, which tends to focus more on the physiology of sex rather than the psychology behind it. So that’s what today’s episode is all about. It’s a compilation (or “cumpilation”) of some of my favorite tips discussed on the show for changing your sexual mindset. Specifically, we’re going to revisit my interviews with Joan Price (Episode 86), ...
Episode 113: Hot and Unbothered – How To Have the Sex You Really Want
July 26, 2022 11:00 - 43 minutes - 80.3 MBWe’re often our own worst enemies when it comes to having the sex we really want. Shame, secrecy, self-doubt, fear of failure—all of these things have a way of interfering with our ability to pursue pleasure. In order to have great sex, we need to change our entire sexual mindset. So that’s what this episode is all about: how to feel hot, but unbothered. I am joined by Yana Tallon-Hicks, a relationship therapist and sexuality educator. She is author of the new book, Hot and Unbothered: How ...
Episode 112: Uncovering Your Core Erotic Themes
July 22, 2022 08:00 - 47 minutes - 43.4 MBThere are a ton of sources for sex advice out there, which is great. But too many of them suffer from the same problem: they take a one-size-fits-all approach when, in reality, different things are going to work for different people. We each have a unique sexual self, which means that if you don’t have a certain level of self-understanding, it can be difficult to know which advice to take–and which advice to leave. So that’s what we’re going to be talking about today: how to uncover your cor...
Episode 111: What You Don’t Know About Arranged Marriage
July 19, 2022 08:00 - 26 minutes - 49.4 MBAccording to some sources, a majority of all marriages in the world are arranged. Despite how common this practice is, little research has been conducted on the subject—and there are a lot of myths and misconceptions out there regarding what arranged marriages actually look like and how they work (including the idea that arranged marriage necessarily equates to “forced marriage”). So that’s what we’re going to be talking about today. I am joined by Dr. Sharon Flicker, a clinical psychologis...
Episode 110: Jealousy and Compersion
July 15, 2022 07:00 - 30 minutes - 58.4 MBIf your romantic partner were to become sexually or romantically interested in someone else, how would you feel? Jealousy is often presumed to be the default response, especially in monogamous relationships. However, in consensually non-monogamous relationships, people often experience happiness, pleasure, or other positive feelings–a phenomenon known as compersion. So how are jealousy and compersion linked? Can you experience both at the same time? Can you learn to experience compersion if ...
Episode 109: Hurts So Good – Why We Seek Pain On Purpose
July 12, 2022 07:00 - 46 minutes - 87.2 MBA masochist is someone who derives pleasure from the experience of pain. While we often think of masochism as being a purely sexual thing, it’s actually a pervasive part of everyday life. From the long-distance marathon runner to the person who covers their entire body in tattoos to the person who douses all of their food in hot sauce, there are countless examples of people intentionally inflicting pain on themselves—and getting some pleasure out of it at the same time. So why is that? We’re...
Episode 108: Navigating Consensual Non-Monogamy
July 08, 2022 08:30 - 48 minutes - 90.2 MBSurvey studies find that about 1 in 5 people say they’re been in some type of sexually open relationship before. Despite how common consensual non-monogamy is, research, data, and information on it is pretty limited. And, oftentimes, it’s not addressed at all in psychology training programs. So, for today’s episode, we’re going to explore what you need to know about sexually open relationships. I am joined by Dr. Michelle Vaughan, an Associate Professor in the School of Professional Psychol...
Episode 107: Understanding Your Attachment Style
July 05, 2022 11:00 - 37 minutes - 69 MBEveryone has an “attachment style,” which refers to the way that you tend to interact and connect with others in intimate relationships. Psychologists have found that attachment styles are reliable predictors of so many different things in our sex and love lives, from the content of our sexual fantasies to how we respond in conflict situations to our reasons for pursuing sex. A better understanding of your own (and your partner’s) attachment style can potentially help you to cultivate a more...
Episode 106: Top, Bottom, Side – What’s Your Position?
July 01, 2022 11:00 - 40 minutes - 74.4 MBMen who have sex with men often identify themselves in terms of sexual positions, such as top, bottom, or versatile to reference the role they prefer to take during anal sex. But what if none of those terms describe you? Today’s episode is all about the growing number of gay and bisexual men who identify as “sides,” or people who aren’t into penetrative anal sex. I am joined by Dr Joe Kort, the clinical director and founder of The Center for Relationship and Sexual Health in Royal Oak, Mich...
Episode 105: Less Sex, More Kink – The Sex Lives of Today’s College Students
June 28, 2022 11:00 - 48 minutes - 89.4 MBCollege students tend to be stereotyped as a pretty horny bunch who are hooking up every chance they get. But are today’s college students really having more sex than ever? That’s what we’re going to be exploring in this show. Are they as sexually active as popular media depictions suggest? How is the sex that they’re having changing? And what do college students today need to know about navigating and cultivating healthy sexual and romantic relationships? I am joined by Dr. Nicole McNichol...

Episode 103: The Laws of Attraction
June 21, 2022 11:00 - 46 minutes - 47.1 MBWhy are we attracted to some people, but not to others? The answer to this question is surprisingly complex, but research has uncovered a set of scientifically-backed principles that can pretty reliably facilitate sexual and romantic attraction. This episode will help you to better understand those “laws” of attraction, including how you can leverage them to enhance your own appeal to others. Sexuality educator Ashley Weller returns for this show. Ashley is a professor at Chapman University...
Episode 102: The Truth About Fake Orgasms
June 17, 2022 11:00 - 41 minutes - 41.7 MBIn the classic film When Harry Met Sally, Meg Ryan famously said, “Most women at one time or another have faked it.” And she was right. But it turns out that women aren’t the only ones who do this. Fake orgasms are surprisingly common across genders. So why do so many people feign the peak of pleasure? And is pretending to climax a good thing or a bad thing? That’s why we’re going to be talking about today. I am joined by Ashley Weller, a professor at Chapman University in Southern Californ...
Episode 101: Want Better Sex? Get Better Sleep
June 14, 2022 11:00 - 41 minutes - 77.8 MBHuman beings spend about one-third of their lives asleep. We do this because sleep is an essential body function. When we don’t get enough sleep, we suffer in a lot of ways–and that includes our sex lives. That’s why today’s episode is all about the important connection between sex and sleep. As you’ll learn, getting better sleep is one of the keys to having better sex. But it’s also the case that having a great sex life can help you get better sleep.

Some of the things we cover in this episode include: Why b...
Episode 99: Who Should Pay On The First Date?
June 07, 2022 11:30 - 39 minutes - 73.2 MBWhen you go out on a date with someone, who should pay for it? When two people of the same sex or gender go out, they’ll often split the bill—but when it’s a man and a woman, more often than not, the man pays. So there’s still a lot of chivalry present in dating between men and women, despite the fact that we have increasingly moved away from traditional gender roles and norms in many ways. So what’s up with that? How do men and women really feel about this issue? And how can be better navig...
Episode 98: Navigating Sexuality and Religion
June 03, 2022 04:00 - 33 minutes - 62 MBThe impact of religion on our sex lives is complex—it is neither uniformly negative nor positive. The way that religion affects sexuality really depends upon how sexuality is situated within a given religion. But when religiosity and sexuality conflict, how do you navigate this? That’s what we’re going to be talking about today. How do sex therapists balance religious and sexual identity in the therapeutic process when conflicts arise? Is it possible to resolve this in a way that doesn’t req...
Episode 97: Keeping Passion Alive in Long-Term Relationships
May 31, 2022 04:00 - 41 minutes - 77.5 MBWhen you’re feeling that intense passion in the early stages of a relationship, having great sex is usually pretty easy. However, those feelings don’t tend to stick around very long. It’s normal for passion to begin fading after a year or two. But it doesn’t have to disappear entirely. It’s very much possible to get the spark back–and keep it going–with a little bit of effort. So let’s talk about how to do it! For today’s episode, I am joined by Dr. David Frederick, an Associate professor o...

May 27, 2022 04:07 - 39 minutes - 73.2 MBMasturbation is something that most people do, but many of us have a complicated relationship with it. For example, some people are under the impression that masturbation is an unhealthy or even “addictive” activity. Given that we’re in the midst of Masturbation Month, now seems like the perfect time to set the record straight on solo sex and tell you what you really need to know about it. My guest today is Dr. Eric Sprankle, an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology and the co-director...
Episode 95: The Psychology Behind Forced Sex Fantasies
May 24, 2022 11:30 - 32 minutes - 45 MBHave you ever fantasized about being ‘forced’ to have sex? If so, you’re not alone. Fantasies about being taken against one’s will (also known as ‘ravishment fantasies’ and ‘consensual non-consent fantasies’) are actually quite common. But just how many people report having had them? And why? That’s what we’re going to be exploring in today’s episode. I’ll be sharing five examples of forced sex fantasies that have emerged in my research to illustrate what these fantasies tend to look like, ...
Episode 94: Uncommon Sexual Fantasies – Tentacles, Monsters, And Cows, Oh My!
May 20, 2022 04:00 - 24 minutes - 45.2 MBAs someone who studies the science of sexual fantasies, every time I think I’ve heard it all, I discover something new. Human beings are endlessly inventive and flexible when it comes to their sexuality, which means that our fantasies are sometimes truly fantastical and may reflect things that wouldn’t even be physically possible in reality. While these fantasies may strike many people as “strange” or “weird,” however, a deeper analysis of them reveals that they aren’t so unusual after all. ...
Episode 93: Tips For Having The Best Sex Ever
May 17, 2022 04:00 - 38 minutes - 71.8 MBWhen it comes to sex, we could all benefit from a few pointers because great sex is usually something we have to figure out on our own.

We’re going to take it a step further today and talk about some of the finer details. We’re going to explore how you can get even more pleasure from several specific sexual ...
Episode 92: How To Get In The Right Headspace For Sex
May 13, 2022 04:00 - 37 minutes - 69.7 MBOne of the keys to great sex is being in the right headspace and allowing yourself to be totally immersed in the experience. If you’re not fully into it, it’s easy for your mind to start wandering and to get distracted. Divided attention can make it hard to stay aroused and to reach orgasm. So how can you get in the right mental space for great sex? That’s what we’re going to be talking about today. We’re going to be discussing a mental state called flow and share practical tips for getting...
Episode 91: Sex and Love When You Have Anxiety, OCD, or Depression
May 10, 2022 04:00 - 49 minutes - 92 MBRelationships are hard for everyone, but they can be especially hard when you’re living with a mental health issue such as depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Psychological struggles can heighten the anxiety around sex, dating, and intimacy in ways that can make relationships feel inherently unsatisfying, even hopeless. But there is hope! Today, we’re going to explore how mental health issues can pose unique relationship challenges, but also consider practical tips and tools f...
Episode 90: The Rise of Male Full-Frontal Nudity and Prosthetic Penises
May 06, 2022 04:00 - 40 minutes - 75.5 MBUntil very recently, the sight of a penis in film or on television was a rarity. And when it happened, it was a big deal. The promise of even a fleeting glimpse would overshadow everything else. For example, remember when Gone Girl came out? It seemed like all anyone could talk about was Ben Affleck’s member. Today, however, penises seem to be popping up everywhere, and Hollywood keeps upping the ante. Case in point: there’s a scene in Euphoria featuring nearly 30 dongs. So what’s up with th...
Episode 89: Tips From a Sex Therapist
May 03, 2022 04:00 - 32 minutes - 60.3 MBSexual difficulties are common, and they can be highly distressing. They don’t have to mean the end of your sex life, though. Fortunately, most difficulties can be resolved and you can get back to having satisfying sex. However, people often don’t know where to begin when it comes to dealing with sexual difficulties, from telling a partner about it to finding a solution. So, let’s talk about it! I am joined today by Dr. Natalie Rosen, an Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychology ...

April 26, 2022 04:00 - 43 minutes - 81.1 MBRelationships can be a source of tremendous joy. But they can also be a source of tremendous pain, especially when they come to an end that we just weren’t ready for.

When is the right time to start dating or having sex again? What if you haven’t been on the datin...
Episode 86: Tips For Better Sex At Any Age
April 22, 2022 04:00 - 35 minutes - 66 MBWhen people think about what their sex lives will look like as they get older, they usually don’t see much to look forward to. They tend to think about problems that might arise and how sex may become more challenging. However, this line of thinking is all wrong. Sex can actually get better with age. In fact, many seniors report that they’re having the best sex of their lives! And many of the tools and strategies that they’re using can be helpful at any age for reigniting passion, improving ...
Episode 85: Should We Move In Together Before Marriage?
April 19, 2022 04:00 - 36 minutes - 68.6 MBFor decades, social scientists warned that living together before marriage increased the odds of later divorce. However, this runs contrary to conventional wisdom. In fact, most American adults today think that cohabiting first should actually strengthen marriages by serving as a compatibility test. So what’s the deal? Is living together before marriage a good or bad idea? Let’s explore what the science really says and discuss practical tips and considerations for partners looking to move in...
Episode 84: Straight People Who Have Gay Sex
April 15, 2022 04:15 - 24 minutes - 46.2 MBPeople’s sexual identities and behaviors don’t always line up in the way that you might expect. For example, a lot of people who identify as heterosexual or straight report having had partners of the same sex or gender. And there are a lot of different reasons for this! My guest today has identified at least six different types of people who identify as heterosexual, but engage in same-sex behavior. So, we’re going to break it down for you. I am joined by Dr. Arielle Kuperberg, an Associate...

April 12, 2022 04:00 - 53 minutes - 99.9 MBMany of us feel sexually insecure in some way. For example, you might be concerned about your body shape or size, the appearance of your genitals, and/or your sexual skills or performance.

Insecurity can make it difficult to relax during sex, to experience pleasure, and even to experience desire for sex. So how can you overcome sexual insecurity and build up sexual self-confidence? That’s what we’...

April 08, 2022 04:00 - 36 minutes - 69.1 MBHuman beings have been practicing birth control for thousands of years. Today, there are dozens of different contraceptives available, many of which are highly effective and increasingly convenient to access.

Episode 81: Vaginal Health, Explained
April 05, 2022 15:20 - 32 minutes - 61.2 MBThere is a huge industry built around making women feel insecure about their genitals in order to sell them so-called “feminine hygiene products.” They’ve convinced many women that their vaginas and vulvas are “dirty” and in need of constant cleaning. But is it even healthy to use these products? And what do you really need to know when it comes to maintaining vaginal health? I spoke with a gynecologist to find out–and to bust some common myths about vaginas and vulvas. My guest today is Dr...
