How can we learn to be at ease in our bodies so that we can be fully “in the moment” during sex? Anxiety about body image is one of the biggest obstacles to a happy, fulfilled sex life. Many people seek therapy to help them relax and enjoy sex with their partner, others struggle on in low-sex or no-sex relationships.  In this classic episode, Andrew talks to KATE MOYLE, a psychosexual and relationship therapist, about the knots we tie ourselves up in over how we look. Our culture's esteem for youth and beauty, (expressed in social media images of physical perfection) can make it very hard to inhabit our normal, imperfect bodies. Yet the self-confidence we need to enjoy sex is grounded in how we feel, not how we look.  As well as her work as a therapist, Kate Moyle is host of The Sexual Wellness Sessions Podcast, and also appeared on BBC Three's Sex on the Couch. Kate helps people to work through challenges in their sex lives and relationships; moving towards a place of sexual health, happiness and wellbeing. Her podcast hosts discussions that focus on normalising sex and relationships talk, and tackling the topics that are often left out of mainstream conversation; and she is a regular media contributor on the topic of sex and relationships.

Episode 100!! We've made it!!I truly cannot believe that we've made it to 100 episodes, but at the same time it still feels like the beginning. I've said it in pretty much every episode so far, but my aim for this was always to have interesting, advice-filled conversations, with fascinating people. When I started 100 episodes ago, I was frustrated that “life improvement” podcasts were either just positioned as health, or productivity, and how in fact it really stretches so much further than that. Whether you've listened to one episode, or one hundred, I can't thank you enough for being part of the journey - this podcast has always been guided by what you want to learn & improve on, so never stop sending ideas and making this podcast alongside me!

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7794IL FILM CHALLENGER APPLICA LA TEORIA DEL GENDER PER DIFFONDERE IL POLIAMOREAltre notizie dal mondo gay (sempre meno gaio): Biden forza la costituzione, i figli confusi delle star, autocertificazione per cambio di sessoda Gender Watch NewsChallenger è un recente film di Luca Guadagnino in cui si narra la storia di tre tennisti professionisti: due uomini, Patrick Zweig e Art Donaldson, e una donna, Tashi Duncan. La vicenda è imperniata sullo scontro agonistico tra i due tennisti e sulla rivalità tra Patrick ed Art per conquistare il cuore di Tashi. Nel film c'è anche un bacio omosessuale tra i due uomini e altre scene che rimandano a suggestioni gay. La pellicola però è anche un inno al cosiddetto poliamore: infatti Tashi, negli anni, ha rapporti sia con Patrick che con Art, il quale tra l'altro sposerà.L'azienda Lelo, produttrice di sex toys, ha condotto una indagine: dopo la visione di Challenger il 25% degli inglesi ha preso in considerazione di intraprendere una relazione poliamorosa. In particolare il 38% dei giovani crede che una relazione poliamorosa potrebbe soddisfare i suoi più intimi bisogni.Kate Moyle, che ha condotto l'indagine, ha spiegato: «le statistiche mostrano che le persone sono più esplorative e aperte a provare modelli di relazione etici non monogamici». Ci domandiamo: chissà da dove deriva l'eticità di tali relazioni? «Il movimento per il benessere sessuale [esiste anche questo] sta incoraggiando le persone a trovare ciò che è giusto per loro, che potrebbe trovarsi al di fuori del modello di relazione a cui in precedenza sentivano di dover aderire. Mentre leggiamo, impariamo qualcosa, ascoltiamo, parliamo ed educhiamo, accade sempre più che integriamo e normalizziamo idee sul sesso e sulle relazioni che assumono forme diverse nelle nostre vite. Allora ci muoviamo gradualmente verso un luogo di maggiore accettazione».La gender theory si salda, necessariamente, con il "poliamore", ossia, per uscire dal linguaggio assolutorio del politicamente corretto, con il nomadismo sessuale e l'adulterio. Questo perché la fluidità insegnata dal pensiero arcobaleno deve diventare bisessualismo e promiscuità sessuale, anche vissute contemporaneamente. La teoria del gender, si sa, predica la liquefazione delle presunte forme rigide dell'amore. Il poliamore dunque non è altro che una delle possibili declinazioni di questo principio dissolutore.Nota di BastaBugie: ecco altre notizie sul "gaio" mondo gay... sempre meno gaio.BIDEN FORZA LA COSTITUZIONE«Il fatto che la Costituzione enumeri determinati diritti non potrà intendersi nel senso di negare o di deprezzare altri diritti che il popolo si sia riservato». Questo è il Titolo IX della Costituzione americana, titolo che il presidente Biden vuole applicare agli studenti transessuali al fine di permettere loro di accedere a servizi igienici e a spogliatoi non secondo il loro sesso biologico ma secondo il sesso percepito. Inoltre vuole permettere che i ragazzi trans possano gareggiare in competizioni femminili.Contro questa deriva ideologica si sono opposti Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana e Idaho. Ad esempio il governatore della Florida, Ron DeSantis, ha dichiarato: «La Florida rigetta il tentativo di riscrivere il Titolo IX. Non ci adegueremo e contrattaccheremo». Sulla stessa frequenza d'onda il commissario all'Istruzione della Florida, Manny Diaz Jr: «Anziché attuare le chiare direttive del Congresso tese a prevenire la discriminazione sulla base del sesso biologico, l'amministrazione Biden fa a pezzi gli statuti rendendoli irriconoscibili e tenta di spingere il Paese a credere che il sesso biologico non abbia più alcun significato».Analoghe critiche da parte del governatore dello stato del Texas, Greg Abbott, critiche espresse in una lettera inviata a Biden. Abbott parla di un «maldestro tentativo di imporre convinzioni della sinistra tramite il Titolo IX. [Biden] ha riscritto il Titolo IX per costringere le scuole a trattare i ragazzi come fossero ragazze, e ad accettare qualsiasi identità di genere autodichiarata dagli studenti».(Gender Watch News, 2 maggio 2024)I FIGLI CONFUSI DELLE STARIl transessualismo impazza ad Hollywood tra i figli degli attori. Ad esempio La figlia della star di Sex and the City, Cynthia Nixon, ora si identifica come maschio. Jackson, figlio di Charlize Theron, le ha detto che dall'età di tre anni si sente femmina e così l'attrice lo tratta come una ragazza. L'All-Star dell'NBA Dwayne Wade insieme alla moglie sta crescendo il figlio Zaion come femmina, avendole cambiato pure il nome in Zaya. L'attore Khary Payton ha fatto sapere che sua figlia ora si chiama Karter. Seraphina Rose Affleck (nella foto), figlia dell'attore Ben Affleck, ora si presenta come un maschio e si fa chiamare Fin. Jennifer Lopez si riferisce alla figlia Emme con il pronome "loro", escamotage ormai usato da tempo per neutralizzare qualsiasi riferimento al sesso.Come mai questa esplosione di casi di confusione sulla propria identità sessuale nei figli delle star? Potrebbero essere due le motivazioni. La prima si riferisce al fatto che la maggior parte dei Vip sono di impronta liberal, ossia progressisti e, tenuto conto della loro visibilità, devono per forza sposare le cause woke e nel modo più estremo possibile. Questa adesione ideologica non può che riverberarsi anche nella educazione dei figli.In secondo luogo le relazioni familiari di queste star sono spesso segnate da divorzi, amanti multipli, pressioni dei media, esposizione dei social, etc. tutti fattori che incidono nella educazione dei figli in senso negativo.(Gender Watch News, 17 aprile 2024)AUTOCERTIFICAZIONE PER "CAMBIO" DI SESSOIn Germania venerdì scorso è stata varata una legge che permette alle persone transessuali di cambiare identità anagrafica tramite autocertificazione. Nel luglio del 2023 un tentativo di far passare questa legge era stato sventato dal Parlamento tedesco.E dunque dal primo di novembre non servirà che prima la persona si sia sottoposta a trattamento chirurgico o psicologico, né una sentenza di un tribunale. Come fosse la residenza di casa.Per i minori di 14 anni la richiesta dovrà essere fatta dai genitori. Per i ragazzi tra i 15 e i 18, la richiesta potrà essere presentata dai minori stessi, ma occorre il consenso dei genitori. Se questo manca il ragazzo potrà rivolgersi ad un tribunale. In Germania a 15 anni non sei abbastanza grande per guidare un'auto, né per acquistarla, ma lo sei per "cambiare" sesso.E così grazie a questa legge un uomo, che anche di aspetto risulti essere mascolino, potrà presentarsi come donna. È uno dei vertici più significativi raggiunti dall'ideologia LGBT: il pensiero - voglio essere donna - diventa subito realtà. Io sono tutto quello che voglio, nel momento stesso in cui lo voglio. Basta il pensiero. In questa prospettiva la medicina e la burocrazia sono ostacoli da eliminare per non compromettere il delirio di onnipotenza.(Gender Watch News, 16 aprile 2024)

Sex is something that evolves with us over the course of our lives. Your level of desire, the connection you have with your partner(s), and what feels good during sex can all shift quite a lot. However, despite all of these ways that sex tends to change, most of us are expecting that it will stay the same, and that's where problems arise. In today's show, we're going to talk about how to adapt to and embrace sexual change so that you can have hot and healthy sex for your entire life. I am joined once again by Kate Moyle, a psychosexual and relationship therapist based in the United Kingdom. She runs the Sexual Wellness Sessions Podcast, and is author of the new book The Science of Sex: Every Question About Your Sex Life Answered. Some of the topics we cover in this episode include: How can we maintain a sense of sexual curiosity over time? What is sexual currency? Why is this concept important for understanding how to maintain a lasting sexual connection? How can taking a pause from sex provide an opportunity to reboot and reset your sex life? How do you build up sexual self-confidence following a breakup? How can we prioritize and maintain lifelong sexual well-being? You can learn more about Kate’s work by visiting her website here.

Most sexual problems don't require intensive therapy to solve because, more often than not, the root cause is a lack of sex education. Most of us never really learned what we need to know about sex or about our own bodies, which makes it all to easy for us to think that there might be something wrong with us when there really isn't. So in today's episode, we're going to be answering some of the most common questions people have about sex. My guest is Kate Moyle, a psychosexual and relationship therapist based in the United Kingdom. She runs the Sexual Wellness Sessions Podcast, and is author of the new book The Science of Sex: Every Question About Your Sex Life Answered. Some of the specific questions we dive into include: What are the most common questions that come up in sex therapy? How do I know if I’m having “enough” sex? What’s the best time of the day to have sex? Do aphrodisiacs really work? You can learn more about Kate’s work by visiting her website here. Got a sex question?

After 15 years of treating clients as a psychotherapist, Emma Reed Turrell has observed one recurring factor that plagues her patients: blind spots. These are gaps in our awareness that, if we let them go unchallenged, can calcify over time, cloud our judgement and affect our relationships by creating misconceptions like: ‘my needs aren't important' or ‘I can't trust anyone but myself'. In this podcast episode, in conversation with Kate Moyle, Emma shows us how to break these cycles in our minds, re-write our own stories and take back control. She reveals the four blind spots profiles – The Hustler, Gladiator, Bridge or Rock – and shows how these can show up in every day life, alongside practical tools for navigating our relationships with clarity.

Am I normal? That is the question sex therapist, Kate Moyle, says she gets asked most frequently in the therapy room. That and, ‘am I broken?'. In her debut book, “The Science Of Sex” Kate sets out to answer all of our most pressing sex and relationship questions and to reassure us that yes we are normal and no we are not broken. By reframing commonly held assumptions about sex and confronting the many myths and taboos that still surround it, Kate is determined to move us away from a shame-based approach to sex, to one focused instead on pleasure. I, for one, am here for it. To celebrate the launch of this much-needed piece of sex re-education, Kate joined me on the Sex Talks stage, alongside sex therapists Dr Karen Gurney and Dr Amani Zarroug, for a discussion all about, well, sex.

This week I'm speaking with UKCP Registered Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist and EFS & ESSM Certified Psycho-Sexologist, Kate Moyle.For a little while now, grief and sex has been a highly demanded episode and I'm so happy to share this episode with you. I went into this episode really completely blind and came out learning so much about how grief and sex might be interlinked, how it can be affected and how we can start understanding our relationship with the pair a bit better. Sex and death are possibly one of the two most difficult conversations to have within our society and I truly believe this episode with Kate will help break down some of those stigmas we have with sex and grief.You can find Kate via her Instagram, website and incredible podcast: The Sexual Wellness Sessions.

How does sex show up in your life with chronic illness, whether you're in a relationship or not?Is it something that's changed over the time you've lived with chronic illness and if so, have you ever made that connection?Is it something you'd like to improve your relationship with, your feelings about… would you like to know how to talk about it more openly and honestly, but don't know where to start?If we want it to, sex gets to feel fun, loving, pleasurable and enjoyable. We get to have it in our lives as something we do to connect with our bodies and desire, and with that of others, if we choose to. It gets to be really positive thing, not only in our lives, but for our health, too. But to do that, we need to start thinking differently about it; about how we approach it, how we talk about it and how we understand it.Today, I'm discussing all of that and more with Kate Moyle, a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, Psycho-sexologist and host of The Sexual Wellness Sessions Podcast. She works in talking therapy to help people to address the challenges they are facing in their sex lives and relationships, and to help people to get to a place of sexual health, wellbeing and happiness whatever that looks like for them.Kate has also just worked on The Women's Collection with the meditation app Headspace, so defo go and check that out.You can find Kate on her own podcast, The Sexual Wellness Sessions, and on Instagram @katemoyletherapy She also brilliantly recommended a whole host of sexual wellness brands who have created products, tools and resources to add to our sex lives, from apps to stackable buffer rings.

When we start to explore the collaboration between sex and mental health, there are so many factors at play. An enjoyable, healthy sex life supports positive mental and emotional wellbeing. But on the flip side unenjoyable, or painful sex, can hinder our mental and emotional health increasing stress, depression and anxiety. There is still a lot of stigma surrounding sex, which is why so many of us struggle in certain areas and do not feel comfortable enough to address it. Kate Moyle, is a psychosexual and relationship therapist who specialises in working with those that are struggling with difficulties within their sex lives and sexuality. Alongside her busy therapy practice, Kate hosts The Sexual Wellness Sessions Podcast and is a regular media contributor on the topic of sex, relationships and sexual wellbeing. Kate joins host Gabby to uncover some of the myths and taboo about having, and talking about, sex. They explore why there is still so much shame, fear and embarrassment surrounding the act, and why 'performance anxiety' is so common. Gabby asks for Kate's views on suppression and why many women find it harder to be open about their sexuality, and sex with your ex or 'friends with benefits' what that can do for our headspace, if both parties are not on the same page. Kate explains how a healthy sex life, including self pleasure, supports good mental health. Whilst breaking down some of the ways a dissatisfactory or unpleasant sex life, can take its toll of our emotions and mental health. Kate also shares her thoughts on why we need to loose the term 'clean' when it comes to getting checked and how openly communicating with our partner is crucial to experiencing a happier, healthier and more fulfilling sex life.

Managing menopause after a cancer diagnosis brings with it a heap of physical and psychological symptoms, many of which can be discussed much more openly than others. Our sexual desires, loss of libido, difficulty becoming aroused, painful sex and so much more are often not spoken about. What is normal and what can I do if I don't like that ‘new normal'? In this episode, we will focus less on all the things we can do to support our vaginal health, but we will explore sexual health and what desire means to us. What does sexuality mean to you? And how we can all bring a little more sex into our lives, without actually having any!My guest for this episode is a registered Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist and a Certified Psycho-Sexologist. Kate specialises in working with those that are struggling with difficulties with their sex lives and sexuality, including many in their twenties and thirties. Kate recognises that our understanding of our sexuality and sexual health is personal to each of us. Helping us to open our view of what sexuality and desire are for us. Ultimately her aim is to help people get to a place of sexual health, happiness and wellbeing.

There is lots of information out there about the menopause but hardly any if you have had a cancer diagnosis as well. Many people say to me they have no idea what their options are, who to ask for help, and that they feel really isolated in their experiences. I started this podcast because there was nothing out there when I was thrown into surgical menopause at the age of 39, which followed on from my cancer diagnosis aged 33.Through the episodes, I want to create more awareness, share information from our fabulous guest experts, doctors and other specialists in the cancer and menopause field. And of course, I will share stories from the people in our community.So that together we can work towards a better menopause experience. For all of us.More educated, better informed and less alone.

The practice of manifesting has gained a lot of attention over the last few years, and so for this final episode of series three I wanted to understand how manifesting can show up in our dating lives, relationships and sex lives. Defined as the practice of thinking aspirational thoughts with the purpose of making them real, I see a lot of cross over with my work as a therapist. Both practices are about helping people to remove barriers and self-doubt, build confidence and helping people to get to where they want to be, whatever that looks like for them.   Not knowing much about manifesting apart from what I have learnt through Roxie Nafousi and her book MANIFEST: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life, made her the perfect guest for this conversation. Roxie has been named "The Manifesting Queen" by Forbes, and "The A-Lists favourite manifestor" by The Sunday Times Style Magazine.   •••   Roxie Nafousi is a self-development coach, the author of Sunday Times Bestseller, MANIFEST: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life, and Manifest: Dive Deeper which is now available for pre-order for release in January 2023. Roxie is also an ambassador for the Mental Health Foundation, hosts the popular podcast series called "The Moments That Made Me", and is the creator of "The Journal" a powerful 12 week self-love and empowerment programme in collaboration with The Head Plan.    Roxie's commitment to transforming the lives of people who suffer with emotional and mental health issues and helping them to fulfil their potential has seen her become a renowned and respected figure in the wellness world.    Instagram @roxienafousi     https://www.roxienafousi.com/   Pre-Order Manifest : Dive Deeper here    •••   Today's conversation was brought to you by Hanx, who offer trusted contraception and intimate health treatments - without the stigma.

Despite being a condition which impacts one in five hundred women Vaginismus is a rarely discussed and often misunderstood sexual dysfunction. It's characterised by the involuntary contraction of the muscles around the vagina which can make penetration painful, difficult and often impossible. There are unlimited reasons for why someone might be struggling with this condition, and equally many ways that it may show up for them in terms of challenges with sex, relationships, dating, body confidence and self-esteem. Even though it's so common there are very few resources available which makes it difficult for people to know where to turn for information and advice.   •••   This is where my guests for today come in as The Vaginismus Network is one of the only platforms with advice from both peers and experts. Kat is one of the co-founders, and Rosie is a volunteer who both feel really passionately about this topic as they have Vaginismus themselves. Connecting over their shared experience and feelings, co-founders Kat and Lisa decided to give others what they both felt that they were missing - a way to connect, talk and get advice on a condition that was missing from the mainstream. The Vaginismus Network hosts online and in-person events, offers a matching service to connect people, and has blogs and advice on everything from smear tests,  to vaginismus and pregnancy, dilator training and personal accounts of Vaginismus.   Instagram @thevagnetwork    Rosie @vaginismuswho    https://www.thevaginismusnetwork.com/   ••• In this conversation the topic of pleasure is central to both Kat and Rosie's stories about them managing their vaginismus and building a more positive relationship with their bodies.

Love is a huge part of our humanity, and for many of us it plays a big part in how we engage with the world whether it's the love we have for a romantic or sexual partner, familial or friendship love, or the love that we have for ourselves. Our social context has changed so much across the centuries which has impacted how we love and how we think about love. So with all these changes to the world and how we live, has the role of love in our lives changed? Have we adapted love to fit our new environments or are we at a crossroads between the two? ••• There couldn't be a better guest for me to ask these questions of than Evolutionary Anthropologist and author of Why We Love: The New Science Behind our Closest Relationships, Dr Anna Machin. Anna in her own words studies the very nature of being human. Her research, the majority of which has been carried out at the University of Oxford, focuses on the science and anthropology behind our closest relationships, with lovers, friends and family, pets, gods and celebrities.  She is a broadcaster and author of two books: The Life of Dad: The Making of the Modern Father (2018) and Why We Love: The New Science Behind our Closest Relationships (2022)  •••   The Sexual Wellness Sessions is hosted by Kate Moyle, a Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist and Certified Psycho-Sexologist.

Anxiety can show up in every area of our lives, and sometimes with what feels like no logical explanation or reason. One of the hardest things can also be not knowing how to communicate or explain to a partner about how we are feeling, particularly if from the outside it looks like nothing has changed. Performance anxiety can show up for us in situations both old and new, and anxiety in other areas of our life can leak into our intimate lives. This has the potential to disrupt the relationship status quo and our ability to be intimate, vulnerable or sexual with one another; or if we are single can get in the way of us meeting someone or dating. So we can see that this is a bidirectional relationship where sex and relationships may cause anxiety, and anxiety may impact our sex lives and relationships.    One of our most natural ways to deal with anxiety is avoidance, but this is polarised with our desire for closeness or intimacy in relationships which can create both inner and outer conflict as we battle between the two. This can present as a wide variety of thoughts, feelings and behaviour which can feel really confusing for both us as individuals, and any partners that we may have.   •••   My guest for this episode is one of my favourite authors, therapists and podcasters who like me is really passionate about taking therapy out of the therapy room.

Sexual experiences involve the participation of both our bodies and our minds; and so the relationship that we have with our bodies and how we think and feel about them can hugely influence our experience of sex. Body confidence is something that comes up a huge amount in the therapy room for both men and women. Whilst it may not be explicitly obvious that it's why we are struggling with sex and intimacy; challenges with body confidence and negative thoughts about our bodies can distract and disconnect us from these experiences. This can then further inhibit desire, arousal and someone's experience of pleasure.   My guest for this episode is someone who has been through real highs and lows with the relationship with her body, and speaks honestly about how that's had a ripple effect into different areas of her life and wellbeing. Lauren Black is a body confidence and fashion influencer and founder of a new brand called Love Glow Heal. I wanted to have this conversation with Lauren as she has been very public about the fact that she has been in anorexia recovery since June 2020, and she has documented her whole recovery journey online.

Break ups are one of the inevitable risks of starting a relationship, and something that most of us will go through in one shape or another during our lifetimes. Break ups are also regularly the theme of stories on our screens, stages, books and in our music and in many ways we are obsessed with love stories and their endings. There are also so many questions around break ups that we don't have the answers to.    Is there a 'good' way to break up? Can we ever be friends with an ex? Can it ever be a good idea to go back?  And how do we get over someone?   So for this conversation I invited my friend and colleague relational psychotherapist Charlotte Fox Weber to talk all about break ups, what happens to us psychologically, how we cope and what it teaches us about life and love.   •••   Charlotte Fox Weber is a relational psychotherapist and writer with a particular interest in desire and our hidden wants.

Whenever I discuss what I do as a job there is much curiosity about what happens behind the door of the therapy room. This is why I really wanted to host a conversation with someone who knows what that's like from the other perspective, as the client. This is because as much as I can talk about therapy from the position of the therapist, it will never give a full view of what the experience of psychosexual therapy is really like.  So my guest for this episode is author of the column Conversations With My Sex Therapist Emma-Louise Boynton. Since going through the experience of psychosexual therapy, and immersing herself in the sexual wellness world, she now hosts the brilliant monthly event series and podcast called Sex Talks at the The London Edition Hotel focused on opening up more honest conversations around sex, desire and the female pleasure taboo. She recently launched female healthcare company Daye's first podcast - Talking Taboos with Daye and is a founding editor at The Stack World. https://www.emmalouiseboynton.com/ Instagram @emmalouiseboynton  •••       This episode is sponsored by iPlaySafe, the new app that is removing the 'ick' from sharing STI test results with potential partners.  Download the free medically-approved app to order your home STI testing kit.

Good day, Due to an unknown problem the first 79 episodes have all been removed from Itunes, Spotify, and other services. It is important to note, that they have not been removed from Captivate, and are still accessible there as with all of our episodes. These shows are being reuploaded in addition to our regular content.

The idea of 'the talk' is something that fills many parents and caregivers with anxiety. The worry about what to say, how to answer questions and getting it right can feel pretty daunting. Paired with the fact that many of us didn't have a perfect version of 'the birds and the bees' chat ourselves means that we don't feel set up to know how to talk to our kids about sex and relationships.    This is why my guest today is the brilliant sex educator Sarah Sproule, who makes it her mission to ensure every parent and caring adult knows how to build deeper connection with their growing kid(s). Sarah has two decades experience as a therapist and a masters in sexuality studies, and is a mother of three teens.   Instagram @Iamsarahsproule   www.sarahsproule.com     •••   This important episode with Sarah was supported by my friends at Lelo who have sponsored this episode.

Shame is a feeling that often comes paired with sex, and is an emotion that as a therapist I regularly hear people describe that sex makes them feel. This is why I really wanted to host a conversation around the relationship between sex and shame, where we think it comes from and what we think is maintaining it. Sex is so much more than just the act of what we are doing, and it holds meaning for us which is why when we view what we are doing sexually as shameful, or feel shame around our sexual lives, that it can start to impact us in other ways such as self confidence, self-esteem and relationships. My guest for this conversation is the brilliant Natalie Lee aka StyleMeSunday who has just authored her memoir and manifesto on sexual shame Feeling Myself  https://www.waterstones.com/book/feeling-myself/natalie-lee/9781785043864 . The book is incredibly honest, something that Natalie and I discuss as going up against shame and challenging the feeling that it should keep us silent. Natalie digs deep into her relationship with sex and shame, and talks about how when she realised how much it was holding her back, that she then started to get curious and explore the process of freeing herself from some of that shame. Natalie began her career as a midwife before starting her blog, Style Me Sunday, in July 2012. Over nearly a decade, she has grown her platform from a blog to a brand, and now reaches women across various different mediums.

Our sex lives are subject to many gendered messages and narratives which shape how we think that our sex lives 'should' look. Engrained messages about masculinity, manhood and how men should act in sexual situations can influence sex lives both consciously and unconsciously, in what today's guest Cam Fraser describes as the idea of 'Man Box Culture'.   Cam and I unpack some of the myths of masculinity and sex that are impacting men.  We also talk about how the language that we use can be influential and how opening up our definitions of sex and sexuality can be helpful for everyone.   •••   Cam Fraser is a Certified Professional Sex Coach, Certified Sexologist, Registered Counselor, and Registered Tantric Yoga Teacher.

Induced menopause refers to when menopause happens after surgical removal of the ovaries, radiation or chemotherapy damage to the ovaries, or from the use of other medications to intentionally induce menopause as part of the treatment of certain diseases. The main difference to the process of natural menopause is that there is a rapid onset of symptoms rather than the gradual onset that occurs with natural menopause. It's also often happening at the same time as diagnosis, treatment or management of certain health conditions or diseases which can't be ignored as a part of someone's experience.   My guests for this episode are the brilliant and incredible knowledgable Dr Hannah Short & Dr Liz O'Riordan; both who not only have extensive professional experience in this area but have personally experienced induced menopause.   ••   Liz O'Riordan is an international speaker, broadcaster and award-winning co-author of 'The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer: How to Feel Empowered and Take Control'. In 2015 (aged 40) she was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer whilst working as a Consultant Breast Surgeon. In 2018 she had a locoregional recurrence on her chest wall. The side effects of treatment for this meant she had to retire as a surgeon in 2019.   During chemotherapy she started an award-winning blog about her experiences (www.liz.oriordan.co.uk) and now talks all over the world about how to improve patient care. In 2020 she launched her podcast – Don't Ignore The Elephant – that talks about the things no-one else does, like sex, death and body image.   Instagram - @oriordanliz    Dr Hannah Short is a GP and an accredited specialist in Menopause and Premenstrual Disorders, recognised by the British Menopause Society (BMS), The International Association for Premenstrual Disorders (IAPMD) and The National Association for Premenstrual Syndromes (NAPS).  Hannah has a particular interest in induced (medical and surgical) menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and hormone sensitivity disorders. She is a member of the IAPMD Clinical Advisory Board and the Surgical Menopause Advisory Committee, and has previously worked as a volunteer doctor for The Daisy Network (a charity dedicated to girls and women diagnosed with POI). Hannah also has personal experience of premature surgical menopause, having undergone a hysterectomy and ovary removal at the age of 35. This drives her passion and informs her work.

Kicking off series three is a conversation with the absolutely brilliant Eleanor Tattersfield @marbyandelm who has been collecting the UK's sex secrets. Anonymously sent to her on postcards this collection of cards are absolutely stunning, and they really do have a story to tell in terms of what's going on in our sex lives and how we think and feel about sex.   I talk to Eleanor about how I think the postcards are a form of sex education; and are opening up our narratives about what we find erotic, desirable, pleasurable and what turns us on. The series also breaks down the idea that there are limited ways that we can express ourselves sexually, and encourages us to think about our definitions and ideas about sex.    •••     Marby & Elm is a little stationery shop on Exmouth Market in Clerkenwell.

I've been so excited to launch Season 10 - we've got some incredible guests lined up and it's going to be bigger and better than ever! And what a better way to start than with one of the UK's leading psychosexual and relationship therapists, Kate Moyle.Sexual wellness is a topic that is slowly becoming more spoken about and with this new liberation spreading over the globe, I thought that there is no one better than Kate to talk to about this topic. A recent study found that nearly half of 25-34 year old woman complained of a lack of sexual enjoyment and another found that people in Britain were having less sex than they once did. These numbers do sound bleak but behind any problem there are always solutions and steps forward!The wonderful Kate works with anyone that is struggling with difficulties in their sex lives, particularly with people whose sexuality is impacted by the stresses of modern life. Kate helps thousands of people recognise their personal understanding of sexuality and sexual health and takes the view that all issues including sexual wellness have roots in psychology, emotion and a person's history and culture. Ultimately Kate's work is about helping people get to a place of sexual health, happiness and wellbeing.

This is a subject that a year ago, or maybe even 6 months ago, I would have never publicly spoke about? But why not! Sex is a huge part of our lives and relationships and is so important to feel comfortable enough to discuss! So on this episode, we have an amazing sex therapist called Kate Moyle to give us the lowdown on having great sex, pleasuring ourselves, self love & sex toys!

In these ‘Moment' episodes of my podcast, I'll be selecting my favourite moments from previous episodes of The Diary Of A CEO. Talking about sex can often be an uncomfortable conversation for most of us, especially if it includes discussing our issues in the bedroom. This is why I decided to fire all of the taboo questions we all want to know the answers to at Kate Moyle, a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist and host of The Sexual Wellness Sessions Podcast. Episode 73 - https://g2ul0.app.link/zstxzWwVOib Kate: https://www.instagram.com/katemoyletherapy/ https://www.katemoyle.co.uk/

How can we learn to be at ease in our bodies so that we can be fully “in the moment” during sex? Anxiety about body image is one of the biggest obstacles to a happy, fulfilled sex life. Many people seek therapy to help them relax and enjoy sex with their partner, others struggle on in low-sex or no-sex relationships.  This week Andrew talks to Kate Moyle, Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, about the knots we tie ourselves up in over how we look. Our culture's esteem for youth and beauty, (expressed in social media images of physical perfection) can make it very hard to inhabit our normal, imperfect bodies. Yet the self-confidence we need to enjoy sex is grounded in how we feel, not how we look.  As well as her work as a therapist, Kate Moyle is host of The Sexual Wellness Sessions Podcast, and also appeared on BBC Three's Sex on the Couch. Kate helps people to work through challenges in their sex lives and relationships; moving towards a place of sexual health, happiness and wellbeing.

In this episode of The Sexual Wellness Sessions hosted by Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist Kate Moyle, we're talking all about the sex that we see on stage and screen. My guest for this episode is the brilliant Intimacy Coordinator and Movement Director Ita O'Brien; who has worked on many hit shows, including Sex Education, Normal People, I May Destroy You and It's A Sin.   The ideas and narratives that we pick up about sex and relationships come from multiple sources; but one of the big influential factors in our lives is what we see on screen. TV series and films make up a lot of our downtime, and are a common topic of conversation, and Netflix is now a well-used word in our everyday vocabulary; but what goes into the process and thinking of the sex that we see on screen and how can that impact how we think and feel about sex?   Comparison culture is at an all time high, and many of us feel that what we see when it comes to sex on screen, doesn't ring true when it comes to our own sex lives. On the flipside we have seen the huge success of shows like Normal People, which Ita was the intimacy co-ordinator on. The much-praised intimacy scenes demonstrated communication, fumbling, uncertainty and the 'working-it-out-as-you-go-on' type of sex that many of us experience in their daily lives, and therefore felt was represented.  Ita O'Brien is the UK's leading Intimacy Coordinator and founder of Intimacy on Set. O'Brien pioneered the role of the Intimacy Coordinator and since 2014 has been developing best practice Intimacy on Set Guidelines, which have been widely adopted in the industry and championed by the TIME'S UP movement and others, advocating for safe, fair and dignified work for everyone. O'Brien has worked on numerous high-profile productions including Normal People (BBC3/Hulu), Sex Education 1&2 (Netflix), Gangs of London (Sky Atlantic), The Great (Hulu), I May Destroy You (BBC/HBO), Brave New World (Peacock/Sky One), It's A Sin (Channel 4) and has been widely covered in the national and international media as the leading spokesperson in this space. https://www.itaobrien.com/ This episode was sponsored by iPlaysafe App. Download the free app and order your iPlaySafe Box - a home STI testing kit.

In this episode I speak with Kate Moyle on sexual wellness. Kate is a certified Psycho-Sexologist and specialises in working with those that are struggling with difficulties with their sex lives and sexuality, including many in their twenties and thirties who are impacted by the stresses of modern life. Kate examines sexual dysfunction in terms of the personal context and meaning and the role it holds for them as an individual. She works empathetically with people to recognise their personal understanding of their sexuality and sexual health; with the view that predominantly sexual issues have roots in psychology, emotion, the physical body, and a person's history and culture. In the conversation we discuss Equanimity in sex Reframing the expectation issue – pornography Assumptions Vs Reality Fantasy and reality Sexual dysfunctions – ED, Phobias, pain, fear, loss of desire Baselines - mindful sex, feeling Vs obligation The outcome – new baselines and experiences More can be found from Kate here: https://www.katemoyle.co.uk/qualifications-and-experience Kate also recommends some fantastic TED talks and information that can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neH09fTkNB4 https://www.ted.com/talks/professor_helen_o_connell_get_cliterate https://www.ted.com/talks/esther_perel_the_secret_to_desire_in_a_long_term_relationship?language=en And books here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52243236-mind-the-gap I hope you enjoy the conversation.

  To kick off the second series of The Sexual Wellness Sessions, we are tackling the topic of stress with the brilliant author of Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle, Emily Nagoski.     When it comes to our sex lives, we see that stress can impact sex, and sex can both cause and relieve stress. It's both a simple and a complicated relationship that is full of many contradictions.      As a Psychosexual Therapist stress and anxiety are in some way woven into all the conversations that I have; and as humans one of the simultaneous wonders and challenges that we have is metacognition - thinking about thinking. So we don't only deal with the stress response and the stress cycle, but also our thinking about what it means to us and the role it's playing in our lives, which when it comes to sex can become really problematic for some people. Emily and I talk about the stress response cycle, how we can manage stress, the impact of medical interventions, the impact of society and cultural messages, and how we can understand the relationship between stress and sex better.      Emily Nagoski is the award-winning author of the New York Times bestselling Come As You Are and The Come As You Are Workbook, and coauthor, with her sister, Amelia, of New York Times bestseller Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle.    https://www.emilynagoski.com/ Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle     This episode was sponsored by This Works – makers of clean, targeted skincare and wellness solutions - rooted in science and proven to work.

Hey #TheJoshCast, I want us to talk about something that's hard and controversial. Sometimes it can feel like cheating is built into the fabric of the male psyche, but none of the reasons men (and women) try to excuse their behaviour aren't worth interrogation. Men hear the old adage “boys will be boys” so often that sometimes we believe the hype and treat it like a manifesto. Cheating, for example, isn't exclusive to men but it's definitely looked upon as something we're much more prone to doing. But why do we do it? Is it “just because”? Psycho-sexologist and psychosexual and relationship therapist Kate Moyle says, “The reasons for infidelity are varied and often unique to the situation, individual or couple; however, there may be other factors at play that influence the decision to act on the desire to cheat or motivate the person to take the step to stray.” How many times have we heard of a guy who is part of a supposedly perfect couple going ahead and cheating anyway? It's just very us, isn't it? Take Jay-Z, for example: if three albums' worth of material is to be believed – Beyoncé's Lemonade, Jay's 4:44 and the pair's collaboration Everything Is Love – then the megastar rapper himself played away from home, and he, it would seem, had everything to lose. Kate Moyle reckons no man is immune to wondering whether their needs might be better served elsewhere, no matter how cushy their current setup might be: “The culture that we currently live in promotes the idea of more, more, more and that the grass is always greener,” she says. “It can feel that we are metaphorically constantly looking through the looking glass into other people's lives and relationships, and although we know it's often a curated reality, we can't help but compare ourselves and this can create expectations and disappointment.” Maybe our wandering eye comes from a reluctance to be tied down, a problem with committing or a relationship going too fast. Rather than confront the situation head-on, some men act out – the sexual equivalent of a toddler defacing a wall with crayons while you're not looking. It's like we want to be found out. While all infidelity can leave a scar, this is a pretty destructive reason for cheating. Saying it's over will hurt, yes, but letting your partner discover your infidelity and do the dirty work for you is not the most grown-up of solutions. Perhaps it's easier to deal with the shame of what you've done than try to explain why a relationship isn't working for you, but the fewer landmines you leave in your wake, the better. Is this the kind of behaviour people expect from us? As men, we have a lot to live up to when it comes to sex. We're pressured to be always-on, perma-aroused sex machines – think of the dubious scientific fact that a man thinks about sex every seven seconds, or the differences between talking about a man who has a lot of sex and a woman who does the same. Divorcee Marsha, who was married for eight years until her husband's incessant infidelity broke them up, tells me, “Boys are taught they should go and see the world before they settle down – sow their wild oats – while women are supposed to dream of being a bride who'll be there waiting when they're done.” There's a level of immaturity that seems to be accepted in men and a bogus assertion that we can't control ourselves. Having a variety of sexual partners is seen as a badge of honour among some men and Marsha is not here for it. “It's only when they get caught that they understand the real consequences of what they've done,” she says. “Most men wouldn't care about anyone else if they weren't caught.” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/joshua-sherron/support

Q is for Q & A on Sexless Relationships   Welcome to the A to Z of Sex. I'm Dr Lori Beth and I am your host.  We are working our way through the erotic alphabet one letter at a time.  Just a reminder this podcast deals with adult content, so if you don't have total privacy, you might want to put on your headphones.  Today the letter is Q and Q is for Q&A – on Sexless Relationships.   Sexless relationships are often defined as when a couple has sex 6 or less times per year.  This is an area people find really difficult to approach and manage. There are many reasons that people stop having sex in their intimate relationships.  Sometimes it isn't a problem and the couple is happy with the sex they are having or without having sex at all.  Other times, this becomes the elephant in the room that no on will talk about.   Joining me today Kate Moyle is an Accredited Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist in Central London. She specialises in working with those that are struggling with difficulties with their sex lives and sexuality, including many in their twenties and thirties who are impacted by the stresses of modern life. She considers a client's problem or sexual dysfunction in terms of their personal context and meaning and the role it holds for them as an individual. Kate often works with people to recognise their personal understanding of their sexuality and sexual health; with the view that issues have roots in psychology, emotion, the physical body, and a person's history and culture. Ultimately her aim is to help people get to a place of sexual health, happiness and wellbeing. Alongside her work as a therapist she is also Co-Founded and is Partner at Pillow App for Couples (www.pillow.io) which helps busy couples to fit intimacy into their lives in a convenient and connecting way, by providing audio-guided intimacy episodes that focus on sensual touch, communication, eye-contact and other basic forms of intimacy. Kate is passionate about having open, honest and realistic conversations about sex; that help people to feel educated and aware in order that they can make the informed decisions that are best for them and feel comfortable in their sexuality.     We talked about shame as the basis for most of the messages that we get about sex growing up and the reason that talking about sex and working out problems around sex can be so difficult.  Kate pointed out that many people think they ‘should' have sex at a certain frequency and that really it is what feels good to each individual and the couple as a whole that is important.  She spoke of banning the word ‘should' from her practice.    We spoke about the fact that young people also find they have difficulties with their sexual lives and that often this is because there is so much pressure via every day life. We spoke about the wide variety of people who find the whole topic anxiety provoking.   The big take aways from this discussion: There is no set amount of sex that is right for every relationship.  If you are happy with the amount of sex you are having, then that is the right amount. If you aren't happy with the amount of sex you are having, things can be done to help resolve the issues. Sex and intimacy are not the same thing and that you can have a relationship where the sex is non-existent but there is still a lot of touching and emotional intimacy. Shame has no place in sex and relationships. If we talk about these things and end the silence, relationships improve.  Silence feeds shame.  Talking demolishes shame.

Welcome to my virtual therapy room!  I am Dr Lori Beth Bisbey and this is Sex Spoken Here. Today we are talking about Sex and Technology! It’s the 21st century and many of us don’t go anywhere without our phones, our pads and myriad wearables to connect to the internet. What used to be confined to behind closed doors, sex has now entered a new open world or sort of open – on the internet. We no longer rely on dating services that make introductions face to face. We choose partners on the internet – often because we discover them in special interest groups that cater to our individual sexualities. When people have sexual difficulties, they also turn to the internet as the first place for information. But what are the ethics in this brave new world? How can we encourage people to connect intimately by using technology? Today I am joined by Kate Moyle and Marta Plaza. Kate Moyle is a Qualified Psychosexual Therapist working with couples and individuals to help get them to a place of sexual health, happiness and wellbeing. She believes in offering her clients a confidential and taboo free space, where they can address their sexual issues and concerns and create a path to change that is right for them as individuals. After completing a BSc degree in Psychology Kate went onto complete her Post Graduate Diploma in Psychosexual Therapy and a three year MA in Relationship Therapy. Kate is also the co-developer of the Pillow Play ap. This ap helps couples to get creative with intimacy.  Marta has been involved with tech since she left college and a couple of years ago joined to build Desire, a game for couples. Desire game can be as romantic as you want or as spicy as you want, depending on your mood and on what you like in that moment. The game uses gamification to spice up the relationship and bring couples closer creating great memories between them. Desire has currently half million downloads thru iPhone and Android and couples enjoy daring each other.  We talked about how technology can facilitate closer relationships. We discussed the need for adults to remember how to play and that both of these games facilitate play and more playful communication which deepens intimacy. We also talked about the need for novelty in relationships to keep things fresh, increase the intimate bond and help break routines. Marta’s game, Desire involves having the couples dare each other to do things and there is a point system and scoring takes place online. She described a comment on line when the game was released where a woman said her husband was shy in the bedroom but the game appealed to his ego with the points and this meant that she was having more fun too. Kate spoke about her app creating more communication between couples.   We all agreed that technology can be extremely helpful to increase communication between couples and that it can also act as a distraction. We spoke about couples needing to set boundaries in their relationships as to how and when technology is used. I brought up a desire to see technology in the future used to help couples with sexual dysfunction and we made brief mention of virtual reality.   To find pillow play, go to the app store or download from the website http://www.pillow.io/ To find Desire – download from googleplay and the app store or the website http://www.desire.games/  Thanks for joining me this week for Sex Spoken Here with Dr Lori Beth Bisbey.  Write to me with suggestions for the show, questions you want answered at drbisbey@the-intimacy-coach.com, follow me on twitter @drbisbey.

Aired Thursday, 12 January 2017, 4:00 PM ET Have you ever wondered about the impact that technology has on your relationship? Do you often find yourself looking at your screen rather than at your partner? Many couples report that technology interrupts couple time and intimacy, and that they rarely feel they truly get time alone. Today I am talking to Kate Moyle who is one of the Founding Partners of Pillow Play, the app which is trying to tackle this problem by using technology to help couples get creative and playful with intimacy, bringing them together rather than driving them apart.
