Sarah Shahi is back on the pod! This time in the wake of her new book Life Is Lifey.

Boring is a signal and it's a sign that something needs to change! A complaint about monogamy is that the line between responsibility and desire often gets blurred and it is responsibility and safety that win out. Long-term couples come to therapy with a complaint that sex is predictable and had become boring. Join our hosts in this episode as they explore what might be lying under the surface. Are you simply disengaged from life? Or is there a relational dynamic that has caused a couple to disengage from desire and their ability to express desire to each other. Our hosts remind us that sex is an exciting adventure and the safety of a long-term partnership invites us to take even more risks.

From first dates to long-married couples who've forgotten how to talk, they reflect on what they've learned about human connection from a lifetime in the dining room.The ConversationAuthor and food historian Bunny Crumpacker talks about The Sex Life of Food: When Body and Soul Meet to Eat, a wide-ranging exploration of how food symbolism, cultural taboos, and dining rituals intersect with sexuality and identity. The discussion moves from aphrodisiac myths and gendered foods to class signals, fast food culture, and the emotional meaning behind what and how we eat.

Perimenopause libido dropping after 40? If sex feels different—lower desire, more dryness, shorter fuse, less connection—your hormones (not your relationship) may be the missing piece. In this episode of Ask a Sex Therapist, Heather Shannon talks with board-certified OB-GYN + functional/integrative hormone expert Dr. Tara Scott about the most common hormone shifts that impact women's sex drive across postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause—and why women's desire is often more “Goldilocks” than linear (too little or too much estrogen can cause problems).You'll learn how hormone testing can be interpreted when timing is right, why blood levels don't always match what's happening in your tissues, and how chronic stress can quietly deplete DHEA and testosterone (even in your 30s and 40s). Dr. Scott also breaks down practical, realistic ways to support hormone health—movement, food quality, sleep, stress tools, and reducing endocrine disruptors—without trying to overhaul your entire life overnight. If you're dealing with low libido, vaginal dryness, painful sex, fatigue, sleep changes, or irritability, this conversation will help you understand what's normal, what's treatable, and how to advocate for better care.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Hormonal Health01:22 Understanding Hormonal Shifts Throughout Life03:41 Differences in Male and Female Libido14:00 Personalizing Hormonal Treatment28:46 The Impact of Lifestyle on Hormonal BalanceWant to address the emotional and psychological factors blocking your sex life?

We cover everything from Valentine's Day ideas to improving sexual intimacy in long-term relationships, and yes… we talk about foreplay, scheduling sex, and why grabbing your butt is not always the move.

He had at least 14 known mistresses and a hoard of illegitimate children; Charles II's private life was as politically charged as it was scandalous. He presided over the Restoration court, a world of excess, intrigue, gambling, gossip and a lot of sex.

Do you ever struggle with shame, pain, numbness, or disconnection in your sex life?So many of us have done inner child work, attachment work, and therapy for our mental health — but we've never applied that same lens to our sexuality. Cultural conditioning, religious messaging, porn, performance pressure, trauma, and body shame all shape how safe (or unsafe) we feel in intimacy. And often, it's our sexual selves that become fragmented.In this episode, I'm joined by trauma-informed somatic sex educator and Erotic Wholeness coach Darshana Avila (featured on Goop's podcast and TV show) to explore how to heal sexual shame, navigating painful sex, ways to deepen intimacy, and confidently asking for the pleasure you actually want. Darshana has dedicated her career to helping people tune in to their truth, desires, and authentic relationships. Her work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop, and she's spent over a decade guiding people out of the cultural patterns that keep them stuck.This conversation explores sex and the erotic not as performance, but as attunement, embodiment, and healing.Tune in to hear:What Erotic Wholeness actually meansHow trauma and upbringing impact desire and shutdownWhy so many women experience painful sex — and what might be happening physiologically and emotionallyWhy orgasms can feel difficult or inconsistentHow to feel more confident and comfortable in your bodyHow to give feedback in bed without shame or conflictWhat to do when you “don't even know what you like”How to slow down, build anticipation, and deepen attunementWhy presence and nervous system regulation are key to better sexFollow Darshana on her website and Instagram.For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

She also shares why she's going for a slow-burn love now, whether she'd date someone without kids again, and why she's done rushing anything—except her own joy.A word from my sponsors:ADT - Visit ADT.com to learn more.Armra - Go to armra.com/HONEST or enter HONEST to get 30% off your first subscription order.Skims - Shop my favorite bras and underwear at http://www.skims.com/honest #skimspartnerHiya - Receive 50% off your first order.

What if your sex life could tell you something important about your health? In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Elliot Justin, an ER doctor of 25 years who pivoted into sexual health innovation to change the way we talk about bodies, pleasure, and well-being. We explore how erections, cardiovascular health, data-driven tools, and honest conversations can give us earlier insight into what's happening in the body and why sexual health should never be treated as separate from overall health. We cover: Why sexual health is a health issue, not a vanity issue. Dr. Justin explains why pleasure, performance, and function are often early indicators of deeper health patterns. What erections can reveal about cardiovascular health. How nighttime erections are connected to blood flow and heart health long before other symptoms appear. Why men's sexual health is often ignored until there's a crisis. How stigma and silence delay diagnosis and meaningful conversations. The science behind nocturnal erections. What's normal, what's not, and why the body's nighttime patterns matter. How data can change the way couples talk about sex. Why shared, objective information can reduce shame, blame, and guesswork in the bedroom. The role of technology in modern sexual wellness. How tools like FirmTech are bringing measurable insights into intimacy and performance. Why early awareness matters more than quick fixes. How prevention and understanding beat waiting for symptoms or relying on temporary solutions. Use code "DEWME" for a discount at FirmTech! Looking to apply these tips to your REAL life?

We hear from a couple who have long been happy in their marriage, except for one thing: their sex life. In moments of intimacy, one freezes, the other hesitates, and they end up locked in a cycle of uncertainty and distress. On the precipice of becoming parents, they come to Esther worried about how their sex life might further deteriorate in this next stage of life. Is it possible to restore the magical physical connection that they once felt? Esther guides them through somatic exercises to re-establish trust, discover pleasure, and help them move together from their minds into their bodies. Producer's Note: When our anonymous guests do a session with Esther for the podcast, it is an act of generosity for everyone who listens. These sessions are meant not only to support the people in the room with Esther, but all of us who learn from their stories.

Today on The Rizzuto Show, we learn an important lesson: never ask the internet to pick sides, because everyone involved will somehow look worse. A viral TikTok story about a restaurant server cutting a grown man's burger in half launches the crew into an unhinged debate about food etiquette, masculinity, sandwiches, and whether adults should ever need help with a knife.Is it classy? Is it lazy? Is it deeply un-American? Opinions fly, fingers get metaphorically greasy, and nobody backs down. Then, just when you think we've settled the burger debate (we absolutely did not), the show swerves into Sexy Time Fun Facts — because obviously that's the next logical step.We break down new survey data on how often couples are actually having sex, how long it lasts, and why everyone thinks everyone else is doing it more than they are. The crew reacts to stats about age, hormones, kids, stress, and why your sex drive changing doesn't necessarily mean your relationship is broken — it might just mean you're tired and full.There's honest talk about resentment, self-esteem, doctor visits, hormone chaos, and the terrifying realization that adulthood is mostly math you didn't sign up for. Somehow, this episode manages to be equal parts ridiculous and relatable, which is basically the mission statement of this funny podcast.If you like daily chaos, sarcastic humor, arguments about things that don't matter, and accidentally learning something along the way, The Rizzuto Show delivers once again. This is a funny podcast for people who laugh first and reflect later — if at all. Yes, we're calling it a funny podcast again, because SEO waits for no one.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Arizona Man Asks Server To Cut His Burger In Half.

We're talking about desire — where it started and where it went. Has our definition of sexual desire changed over time… or did life just get in the way? Nat used to be a full-on walking horndog but the mental load of motherhood kind of got in the way.

Or does empty nesting just put a giant spotlight on your relationship with zero excuses left?Tune in for new Cat & Nat Unfiltered episodes every Monday, Tuesday and Friday!Follow @catandnatunfiltered on Instagram: https://instagram.com/catandnatunfilteredCome see us LIVE on tour!!

Gerianne DiPiano (FemmePharma Founder & CEO) is joined by Board-certified OBGYN and women's health advocate Dr. Maria Sophocles to redefine sexual wellness in midlife. Dr. Sophocles provides a masterclass on female anatomy, using the "iceberg" metaphor to explain the complex structure of the clitoris and how its thousands of nerve endings are impacted by aging, estrogen loss, and cardiovascular health. We explore the biological and psychological roadblocks to orgasm—including the surprising link between heart health and orgasmic potential—and the vital role of the pelvic floor in sexual response. Whether you're navigating menopause or looking to learn how to orgasm for women, this episode offers a preview of the upcoming book Pausitively Sexy from FemmePharma, providing listeners with a toolkit for physical and mental intimacy. If you are experiencing pelvic pain or "vaginismus," Dr. Sophocles recommends seeking a specialist; you can locate a certified professional in your area by visiting the Herman & Wallace pelvic rehab directory. https://pelvicrehab.com/?utm_source=hermanwallace.com&utm_medium=referrral&utm_content=findapractitioner Tune in to learn how to reclaim your pleasure through mindfulness, medical insight, and radical self-acceptance.

Welcome to our Summer Series where we're replaying some of our most popular episodes over the last 3 years so you can discover episodes you haven't heard before or re-listen to some fan favourites. In this episode, Nicola and Di chat with the entertaining and multi-talented Tottie Goldsmith. Tottie has been part of the Australian performing arts industry for 4 decades, with an incredible career that spans music, film, television, radio and theatre. In the 80s, Tottie became known as Melbourne’s IT girl, and was part of the pop group, The Chantoozies. Over the next few decades she appeared on so many iconic Australian TV shows including Young Doctors, Prisoner, Neighbours, and The Sex/Life series to name just a few. Tottie is also a proud mum, a marriage celebrant and the niece of our beloved Olivia Newton-John. In 2020 Tottie was awarded an OAM for her contribution to charity and the performing arts. We hear all about Tottie’s unconventional upbringing and some of the incredible stories from her childhood. She was born in the 60s to a legend of the Australian nightclub industry, Brian Goldsmith and the model and actress Rona Newton-John. We hear the heartbreaking story of how Tottie’s mum left her and her 2 siblings, when Tottie was only 2.5, to pursue a career overseas and the huge impact that had on Tottie’s life. Tottie opens up about the absolutely beautiful relationship that she had with her aunt Olivia, who was always looking out for her and loving her in ways that her mother wasn’t able to. Olivia was a true angel in Tottie’s life. Not only that, but we hear some fun stories from Tottie’s love life and the lessons she’s learned along the way through the relationships she’s had. Tottie is someone who really has done a lot of work on herself, and is committed to continuing to learn and grow. It’s inspiring to listen to. We had so much fun in this chat with Tottie - it was absolutely like having another girlfriend with us over the back fence. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

We often think good sex mostly comes down to physical technique. But many people feel disconnected from their bodies, stuck in their heads, or unable to access desire and pleasure. And that's something technique alone can't fix. Today, we'll explore how attending to unconscious factors like shame, anxiety, and trauma can open the door to deeper pleasure. I am joined once again by Juliane Maxwald, a licensed psychoanalyst, couples therapist, and AASECT-certified sex therapist based in New York City. She has over fifteen years of experience working with individuals and couples. She is the author of the new book Psychoanalytic Sex Therapy: Exploring the Unconscious Life of Sexuality. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: Why orgasm is more than a physical response How shame and trauma quietly shape your sex life Why “spectatoring” kills pleasure When trying to fix your partner backfires How to reconnect with your body during sex To learn more about Juliane’s work, visit her website and find her on Instagram @julianemaxwald.

There is no shortcut to heal from a toxic world that has tricked us into thinking sex is just a series of acts designed to physically stimulate us. The only way through is to slow down, unlearn and heal- not just for your marriage but for your well-being. It's understanding safety, not just physically, but emotionally.It's questioning the model of sex you were handed, instead of trying to perform it better.It's rebuilding trust with your own body.And, when you're doing this together, it's learning how to create a sexual environment that doesn't require forcing, convincing, or enduring.This is exactly what I talk about in the podcast episode today- why trying harder is often the very thing that makes sex feel worse, not better.Registration is open for the Doing It Together program.

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I'm 32 and should be at my prime sexually, but feel like I'm an intensely boring lover. I want to be wild and uninhibited, and the sort of lover men think about for the rest of their lives. But I'm so vanilla, I don't even know how to be wildly sexy, or what sort of things that would include.2) I'm happily married, but, like anyone in a monogamous relationship, a bit bored. I have never had a threesome, but would love to have one. My fear is that even asking my wife to have one will lead to her never talking to me ever again. How can I suss her out without causing issues?3) Our last ever question on SexTok isn't a question—it's a round-up of what Kelsey and Tracey think are the most important things to do if you want to be a happy couple.

Send us a textTuesday Talks: When the Camera's Off — What Our Sex Life Really Looks Like | Episode 92In this episode of The Swing Nation Podcast, the top-rated podcast about non-monogamy and swinging, Dan and Lacy dive into another candid Tuesday Talks listener question.This week, they hear from Nikki and Randy from Missouri, a couple who have been in the lifestyle for over 22 years and have successfully balanced their home life with their lifestyle journey. They're curious how Dan and Lacy manage the attention that comes with hosting events, creating OnlyFans content, and being openly sexual in public spaces—while still maintaining a healthy, grounded relationship and personal sex life at home.Dan and Lacy share an honest perspective that might surprise many listeners: despite the visibility, parties, and content creation, they don't swing or hook up with strangers nearly as much as people assume. They explain how the lifestyle is actually just a small part of their overall sex life—not the center of it—and why protecting intimacy, connection, and boundaries at home matters more than chasing every opportunity. It's a refreshing reminder that there's no “right way” to live the lifestyle, and that balance looks different for every couple.Get Tickets to Electric Pleasures- The Swing Nation - Main Website Quick Navigation Website: -- (Find all our social media links & more!)- Swinger Society - Our Website to meet, connect & events Swinger Society Discord Our Facebook Group- Swinger Websites -Kasadie 90 day free trialUsername: TheSwingNation SDC 14 day free trial Username: TheSwingNation** Use code 36313 for 14 days free! ** SLSUsername: NorthernGuynSouthernGirl- Merch & More -Order Your Merch Here!- Lacy's Fun Links -VIP OnlyFansPREMIUM OnlyFans-- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS --Wisp : Making sexual healthcare inclusive, cost-effective, and accessible—for everyoneUse Code SWING at checkout for 15% off your oder!Shameless Care: ED Medication and at home STD testingUse Code TSN at checkout for $30 off your order!Promescent® Make Love Longer, It's Time for Great SexUse Code SwingNation for 5% off!Sling it Bikinis: adjustable one-size styles, thoughtfully crafted to flatter every body type.Support the show- Thank you for the support! -

Thinking about asking ChatGPT about your desire gap at 2am? You're not alone—lots of people are turning to AI for relationship help. And I get it. It's free, private, and you don't have to admit to another human that you're struggling.But here's what you need to know: AI can be genuinely helpful for some things—like understanding new concepts, normalizing your experience, or organizing your thoughts before talking to your partner. But it also has serious limitations that can actually make your problems worse.In this episode, I break down what AI does well (psychoeducation, reducing shame) and what it fundamentally can't do (anything embodied or somatic). We'll talk about the "sycophancy problem"—why AI tells you what you want to hear instead of what you need to hear—and when it's time to get actual human support.For anyone considering on turning to AI for relationship advice, but wanting to be informed about that choice, this one's for you.Get my free guide: 5 Steps to Start Solving Desire Differences (Without Blame or Shame), A Practical Starting Point for Individuals and Couples, at https://laurajurgens.com/libido Find out more about me at https://laurajurgens.com/

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I have just found out my wife fakes her orgasms sometimes. We've been together for seven years. She recently asked me if we could use her vibrator during intercourse so she doesn't need to fake it. I am shocked. I had no idea, and feel hurt and angry that she didn't tell me this before. Sh explained that she finds it difficult to climax during intercourse, which is interesting because none of my other partners have had this issue.2) With my consent, my boyfriend films us every single time we have sex—which is a lot. We've been together 18 months and his libido is still as high as it was at the start. He says he watches the videos and uses them to masturbate. Is this normal, or could it be an indication that he is a sex addict or up to no good? We're both in our 30s.3) I have a very average sex life. My libido is low and I'm unadventurous in bed. I have a good relationship with my mother and asked her if this was the case with her. She said it was. Does this mean you can blame your parents if you have a rubbish sex life?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

We're wrapping up the year by replaying the episodes you loved most in 2025 while we spend time with our friends and family over the holidays! AKA the episodes you guys streamed the most! Thank you so much for your support of the podcast in 2025. We hope you have an amazing holiday surrounded by loved ones, peaceful moments, and memories in the making. Cheers! Let's talk about what everyone's thinking but not always saying: is my sex life normal? In today's innuendo-filled episode, we're diving into five key areas to check in on with your partner: communication, desire, pleasure, connection, and exploration. Coming from the unique perspective of being previously married to men and now in a relationship with each other, we share our insights on how deep intimacy can truly go in these five categories. We'll also discuss why women fake orgasms (and the impact on both partners) and explore possibilities of why younger generations are having less sex overall. Get ready for an open, honest, and insightful conversation that just might change the way you approach intimacy! Podcasts mentioned: Pillow Talks | Vanessa + Xander Marin Sex with Emily | Dr. Emily Morse Some key takeaways from this episode include: Desire doesn't diminish, it evolves. Long-term relationships don't always mean your passion will fade. Instead, your desire can shift and deepen in ways you may not have expected, but you have to be intentional about it. Honest communication creates a ripple effect. Open conversations with your partner can strengthen not just your relationship, but also your interactions with all the people you interact with. Curiosity sustains intimacy. Staying curious and open to exploration—both emotionally and physically—keeps the connection alive and thriving. Just keep that open communication about boundaries!

One of the defining producers of the 21st century steps up for a rare, era-spanning mix. We've been in a reflective mood lately: mulling emergent icons, modern classic and the cyclical nature of trends. All things bend around eventually, but if you lived through the mid-'00s the first time, it felt tricky to envision some specifics of those interim years making a second splash. More fool us. Amongst many other things, dubstep is well and truly back. This resurged appetite for low-end has been a central storyline in 2025. Clear tells were there in the form of Introspekt's Moving The Center and Tracey's "Sex Life," two major highlights of the past 12 months. Alternately, cup your ear to the tremors rumbling across the world and you'd find Mala packing up crowds with gusto. Which makes closing out the year with a mix from the man himself serendipitous. The South Norwood-born sub sensei has held an anchor role in the movement since its earliest days. A little like what Upsetter was to Black Ark, the principles Mala, Coki and Loefah's DMZ laid down have been expanded on by Deep Medi, a label that has cultivated a loyal fandom who watch over the catalogue like a hawk. (Six years of frothy debate and knowing in-jokes between MEDi 99 and MEDi 100 paints a picture of both steep expectations and an affinity for gently ribbing their leader.) But Mala's banner 2025 hasn't relied on the heads alone. The adrenaline of his fissuring basslines and barrel-chested vocals have drawn people into his orbit, and there are rarer qualities at play, too—like pacifism, winked at by the demilitarized name and reinforced on their all-time greatest tune; or contemplation, inked on flyers beseeching the crowd to meditate on bass weight. In that spirit arrives a mix we've asked after for years. Subtitled The Listening Session, it's rare on two counts. Despite his enduring popularity, Mala is a conspicuous absence on most DJ series. (It's not that he doesn't enjoy recording, just gets spooked by the reaction.) A nearly-three hour studio set—spaciously paced and laced with a combination of 2025 highlights, freshly-cut dubplates and some of the biggest anthems in the genre's history—is unheard of. No tracklist for now, on Mala's request. Soon come. RA.1016 is the kind of document that jogs the memory back to when dubstep was a discrete enterprise, something you could only fleetingly access by, say, dialling into Youngsta on Sub FM, ripping 320s of "Circling" off long-forgotten blogs or hugging the back wall of Mass. Which, in service of thinking the evolution of 21st century electronic music, is pretty perfect really. Find the interview at ra.co/podcast/1035 @maladmz @deep-medi-musik

Traditional Chinese medicine looks at your sex life very differently than Western medicine and honestly, it's VERY refreshing. In this episode, we're joined by Jaiming Ju, a 2nd-generation Chinese medicine practitioner and founder of Kun Health, to talk about how TCM understands libido, pain during sex, ED, arousal, and overall sexual wellbeing. We get into body patterns, energy balance, lifestyle habits, and what your symptoms are actually trying to tell you. We cover: How Chinese medicine understands sex and pleasure. Jaiming explains why sexual health is seen as a major indicator of overall wellbeing, not an isolated issue. Why pain during sex is never “just in your head”. How TCM views dryness, pelvic pain, tension, and discomfort and why it's almost always linked to imbalance, depletion, or circulation issues. Understanding libido changes. How arousal, desire, and lubrication map to warmth, energy, and hormonal patterns + how aging, stress, lifestyle, and depletion impact the body. ED from a TCM perspective. Why erections are about circulation, warmth, and “yang energy,” and what it means when interest and performance don't match. Tongue diagnosis and what it reveals about your sex life. Yes, your tongue really can show dryness, heat, coldness, stress patterns, or issues affecting libido. Why stress and exhaustion shut down desire. How nervous system overload, burnout, and irregular routines drain the body's resources and impact arousal. Practical pleasure support from a Chinese medicine lens. Food, warmth, routines, habits, and small changes that help your body feel safer, softer, and more responsive during sex. How to support long-term sexual health at every age. Daily practices Jaiming recommends to maintain circulation, lubrication, desire, and overall balance. Connect with Jaiming HERE! Follow her on Instagram HERE!
