Faking orgasms, pornstar-style moans, pretending to like things you're really not into... Performative sex shows up in a whole range of ways. There are some truly valid reasons why women are faking their pleasure during sex, but what lives on the other side of performative sex is a drool-worthy world of authenticity and bliss.  Melissa Vranjes is an internationally certified Holistic Sex Coach based in New Zealand and she joins me for this episode to talk all about the impacts of performing...

Uh huh, you read that right! This episode is all about an experience that my partner and I had recently where we booked two sensual masseuses for an hour and had a BLAST together.  It was hot, it was sensual, it was a little bit nerve-wracking.

27. Sending SEXY PHOTOS + seeing VULNERABILITY in a new light

August 16, 2022 21:59 - 41 minutes - 42.7 MB

Vulnerability consistently shows up within sex. But is it vulnerability that adds to the intimacy and depth of the experience, or does your vulnerability become overwhelming and stop you from making your desires come true?  Having sex with the lights on, sending naked pictures, making the first move... vulnerability can be present in all of these things. And this episode is here to show you how you can view vulnerability is a positive light, rather than doing your best to repress it and avo...

August 02, 2022 22:23 - 42 minutes - 34.5 MB

The naked body does not need to be stigmatized and sexualized and surrounded by shame.

July 27, 2022 00:16 - 41 minutes - 28.8 MB

Having sex without foreplay is like trying to fly a plane without a runway, or light a fire without any kindling. It is essential. And in this episode, I'm not just talking about the fun and fiery foreplay that happens in the bedroom (though this is a key aspect of the episode), but also the mindset shifts that need to happen for sex to be bloody amazing, like loving your body and building up your capacity to feel pleasure.  If you want to have deeply pleasurable, orgasmic sex, you've got t...

24. Normalizing KINK & BDSM (with Dominatrix Olivia Merwood)

July 19, 2022 23:35 - 44 minutes - 41 MB

Kink and BDSM are forms of sexual exploration that, unfortunately, often come seeped in shame. This shame can stop us from trying new things and it can also rob us of our pleasure.  In this week's episode, Olivia Merwood (professional dominatrix, emotional alchemist and pleasure priestess) and I sit down with the intention of normalizing these topics. Because there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to get kinky!  We chat about what it means to be a dominatrix, how you can communicate...

21. Tips to ACTUALLY enjoy sex

June 28, 2022 21:00 - 41 minutes - 26.5 MB

For so many women, sex feels like a chore. It's not all that enjoyable, it doesn't feel particularly good, it's not something that you get excited about. Perhaps you're having sex because you know your partner wants to, or because you feel like you should.  This episode is going to completely transform that. Before you know it, you'll be having sex because you actually, genuinely want to. You'll be having sex because it is a drool-worthy experience full of more pleasure than you've ever exp...

20. EMOTIONAL Intelligence and The Body (with Susie Tagarro)

June 21, 2022 21:00 - 56 minutes - 49 MB

Emotional intelligence is not something that we're taught. As a result, we often go around thinking that our emotions are here to be controlled, or repressed, or fought against. Susie Tagarro and I sit down in this episode to break down these beliefs and to share with you why emotions (even ones like grief or anger or fear) get to be so bloody delicious. We talk about how they can be a source of so much pleasure, information and motivation, and how you can bring the skill of emotional regu...

June 14, 2022 21:00 - 25 minutes - 24 MB

Sex, at it's core, is a delicious dance between giving and receiving pleasure... But often it can feel uncomfortable to fully lean into either of these dynamics.  Do you find it hard to fully relax and surrender while you're receiving pleasure?  Do you struggle to enjoy giving to others as much as you enjoy receiving?  Do you perhaps give from a place that holds an expectation that you'll receive the same back in return?  Then listen up, because this episode is for you.  This episode co...
