Steve reports back from the inaugural Halberg Golf Day at Royal Auckland - a celebrity auction, a plus-handicap playing partner, a 21-under round and a great cause. Meanwhile the office golf simulator is quietly destroying everyone's productivity.Dave Wood's back on the show, and the boys are stuck in the gap between knowing the right thing to do and actually doing it - see: the kettlebells that have sat in the garage, still boxed, for two weeks. Plus the monthly "life dinner" relationship hack, a big birthday in Fiji, awards season for the team, a debate that'll split your household (sock-sock-shoe-shoe or sock-shoe-sock-shoe?), and a reflection on the response to the Gloria Masters episode.Heads up - there's a sexologist in the studio next week, so get your questions in.

Be part of the 100-Man Project here! Most men have never actually talked about their sex life out loud. Not to their woman, not to their friends, not to a doctor/therapist. They've been carrying it alone for years, convinced they're the only one dealing with what they're dealing with. I want to help change that!Between now and December 31, I'm having 100 free, private, 15-minute conversations with men about their sex lives. No sales pitch and no judgment, just an honest conversation about what's really going on with you and a step to take. In this episode you will learn: • Why I'm doing this, and what I expect to hear • What men tell me keeps them up at night around sex • Why 15 minutes is enough for you to shift something • Why sharing 'explicit' info on a call responsibly with me is very different than "being a perv". • How to apply, and what happens after you doIf you're a woman listening and you know your man would benefit from this, send them this episode! It might be the thing that gets him talking and ready to take the next step.I'm Stephanie Ganowski, a clinical sexologist and sex coach who works with men.
When you hear the term sex education, you might think of classes for kids in public schools. But what Charla Hathaway means by that is far broader. She’s an author with a PhD in human sexuality, and she also became a sex worker for a short time at age 55. She’s now 78, and over the last two decades, Hathaway has given a wide variety of classes and workshops about intimacy, touch, sensuality and sexuality. She says she wants to remove shame around bodies and sexuality in the culture and make those topics normal—not taboo—to talk about. Hathaway joins us to share more about her life and work and the one-woman show based on her work, titled “Naked at My Age.” She’s now performing a follow-up called “More Naked Than Ever.”
Season 2, Episode 9 "No Blueprint to Parenting" Every generation thinks they're doing it better than the last.And every generation has something they completely got wrong. Rah Ali, Kash the Sexologist, Luis, Rico, and Taz are back at the table.This episode, they're getting into the conversation every parent has at 2 AM but nobody wants to say at the school pickup line: are we actually doing this right? Luis gets honest first—he started too young, and the opportunities he couldn't give his kids early on still sit with him today. Kash talks about the hypervigilance that comes with motherhood that nobody warned her about, the part of your brain that turns on the moment you give birth and never fully turns off. Rico cuts straight to it: inflation.Raising two kids in 2026 is the financial equivalent of raising four in 2006, and daycare alone is rent. Taz brings the perspective of doing something for the first time while knowing that getting it wrong affects somebody else's entire life.Then the conversation goes deeper—co-parenting, discipline, who you choose to have children with, and the legacy you're building whether you're thinking about it or not.The first relationship your child learns is the one they have with you, and that becomes their classroom for every relationship that follows. Nobody handed any of them a manual.And they are all still figuring it out in real time. Be very mindful of who you procreate with. You are making a lifelong decision.We're not letting anybody off the hook. On the contrary. We're not letting anybody off the hook. On the contrary.
Allie sits down for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Debra Soh, neuroscientist, sex researcher, and author of the book “Sextinction: The Decline of Sex and the Future of Intimacy.” Dr. Soh, previously identified as “sex positive” but now criticizes the harmful movement that holds consent as the only moral standard. Many scientists in her field have political motivations and agendas they want to push on the public which has affected their research. Her evolving views surrounding her research demonstrates her credibility on these topics as she draws conclusions from fact rather than fitting them into a political agenda. She discusses how many are choosing AI over actual people both physically and relationally. What many see as harmless actually poses danger to children and can lead to the degradation of human beings. Dr. Soh also explains the reason many GenZ are identifying as gay and why both sexes would benefit from being less promiscuous, proving scientifically what God has said from the beginning.

A Swiss survey from 2023 suggests they do: 73% of women said they never watch pornography, compared to just 17% of men. Talking about porn consumption is still taboo and even more so for women. Sexologist and psychotherapist Patrizia Anex says that's no surprise. Admitting to watching and enjoying porn is still frowned upon, she explains. Many women do it quietly, fearing judgment. But do women actually watch less porn, or just keep it to themselves? And how do women feel about the porn that's out there? So why are more women watching now?

What I Discussed With Dr Jess O'Reilly- Why sex toys can help couples adapt to changing bodies, arousal, and sexual needs as they get older.- How introducing a toy can create novelty and playfulness in a long-term relationship.- Why a sex toy is a tool for pleasure — not a replacement for intimacy or a partner.- How smaller, simpler toys can make introducing them into a relationship feel less intimidating.- Why toys can reduce performance pressure when erections, libido, or orgasm become less predictable.- How self-pleasure can help women understand what they like and communicate it more clearly.- Why desire doesn't always come before arousal, particularly in long-term relationships and later life.- How shame and embarrassment can stop older adults from talking openly about sex.- Why conversations about sex don't need to be perfect to be useful.- How the Yes/No/Maybe checklist can help couples explore sexual interests together.Chapters00:00 Introducing Dr Jess O'Reilly and the conversation about sex toys01:30 Why sex toys can improve intimacy in long-term relationships02:34 The importance of novelty as our bodies change with age04:36 Why some men feel threatened by sex toys06:20 How toys can reduce performance pressure07:14 Choosing versatile, accessible toys for different bodies08:38 How sex toys open up better conversations09:03 Using toys when erections or sexual performance are unreliable10:30 Why pleasure matters more than performance10:51 Choosing toys for different sensations and mobility needs11:59 Why simple controls can make toys easier to use13:58 The best couples' sex toys for beginners15:21 How air-pulse pleasure feels different from vibration16:08 Understanding the clitoris and changing sensations19:45 Why desire can begin after arousal21:17 Learning to trust your body and your capacity for pleasure22:47 Why satisfying sex and communication need to come first24:06 Shame, aging, and the pressure placed on older women25:20 Why talking about sex can protect long-term relationships27:59 How to start a conversation about sex toys with your partner30:52 A simple way to introduce a new toy without pressure33:45 The Yes/No/Maybe checklist for couples35:05 Dr Jess introduces the Womanizer Enhance36:10 Where to find more from Dr Jess and SuzanneShow NotesI've always been fascinated by sex toys. I was first given one when I was a blogger in the early 2000s, and these days I have boxes of them perhaps more than I really need.But sex toys aren't just about novelty or having a large collection. They can be genuinely useful as our bodies change, especially when arousal takes longer, sensitivity shifts, or erections and orgasms become less predictable.In this episode of Sex Advice for Seniors, I'm joined by Dr Jess O'Reilly, a globally recognised sexologist and relationship expert. Jess has a PhD in human sexuality and has delivered workshops in more than 45 countries.We talk about how couples can introduce sex toys without making either partner feel inadequate or threatened. We also discuss why starting with something simple can make all the difference, how toys can take the pressure off performance, and why pleasure should be viewed as a shared exploration rather than a test that someone has to pass.Jess and I also talk about the changing nature of desire. Sometimes we don't feel spontaneously “in the mood”, but that doesn't necessarily mean our desire has disappeared. With patience, touch, communication, and the right kind of stimulation, arousal can sometimes come first and desire can follow.We explore the role of masturbation, shame, sexual communication, and the importance of understanding what feels good in your own body before trying to explain it to someone else.And if you're not sure how to bring up the subject of sex toys with your partner, we have a simple suggestion: blame us. Tell them you heard about a product or idea on this podcast and ask what they think.Key Takeaways- Sex toys can help couples adapt to changing bodies and sexual responses.- Introducing a toy does not mean that a partner is inadequate.- The simplest toy is often the best place to begin.- Pleasure and connection matter more than sexual performance.- Desire may develop after arousal, rather than appearing beforehand.- Self-pleasure can improve communication between partners.- Talking about sex may feel awkward, but avoiding the conversation can create greater distance and resentment.About the GuestJess O'Reilly is a sexologist & relationship expert (PhD, MSc) who has delivered thousands of workshops in 45+ countries. She's the author of 5 books, host of the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast and a regular in media outlets ranging from Oprah Magazine and The Today Show to Playboy and Forbes.About SuzanneSuzanne Noble is a sex and relationship expert, author, and host of Sex Advice for Seniors, a podcast for people who want to enjoy sex, intimacy, and connection at every age.Through her podcast, newsletter, courses, and community, Suzanne challenges the idea that sex has an expiry date and offers honest, practical conversations about sexuality, ageing, relationships, and pleasure.Connect With SuzanneInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sexadviceforseniorsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sexadviceforseniorsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sexadviceforseniorsSubstack: https://sexadviceforseniors.comConnect With Dr Jess O'ReillyWebsite https://happiercouples.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sexwithdrjess/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/sexwithdrjess/The Sex With Dr Jess Podcast https://happiercouples.com/podcasts/Want More?Visit the Website: https://sexadviceforseniors.com — includes FREE guides and resources for better sex at any age.Free Downloadable Guide: 10 Most Overlooked Secrets to Better Sex PDF: https://subscribepage.io/suzannenoblefreebieSign Up for My FREE Newsletter: https://sexadviceforseniors.comOvercome Erectile Dysfunction & Stay Firm: https://www.stayfirmprogram.comCheck Out My Storefront for Better Sex: https://zaap.bio/stayfirmInterested in 1:1 Coaching or Custom Sex Advice for Seniors Sessions? https://tidycal.com/suzannenoble/30-minute-mentoringRelated EpisodesWhy Women Are Ashamed of Sex Toys | ft.

Season 2, Episode 7: How Do You Define Fun at Different Ages?At some point, the club stops feeling like a release and starts feeling like a chore. Especially when you need acid reflux medication just to get through the night.
Emily is joined by sexologist and sex educator Lex Nyree to unpack humiliation kinks. They cover what counts as humiliation versus degradation, why some people are drawn to it, and how to explore it without crossing into harm. The conversation also goes deep on consent, aftercare, and why having this kink does not automatically mean someone has low self-esteem. Key topics Lex defines humiliation kink. Examples discussed include verbal humiliation, small penis humiliation, service humiliation, public embarrassment scenarios, forced feminisation, and financial domination. Emily and Lex discuss why humiliation kink can be appealing, including the release of control, novelty, sexual association developed over time, and accidental discovery through play. They discuss what it means to have a fantasy vs kink that is practised. Safety. Lex describes the experience of both submissives and dominants. They discuss how to bring up your humiliation kink with a partner. Does having a humiliation kink mean you have low self-esteem? Get the Ultimate Sexual Wellness Bundle (all my resources/ebooks!!)

Season 2, Episode 3: Why is it so hard for men to tell the truth? Lies have ended more relationships than cheating ever has. And nobody on this panel is pretending otherwise.
Season 2, Episode 4: "Bonnets & Durags Outside: Yes or No"It sounds like a small conversation. It is not a small conversation.Rah Ali, Luis, Kash the Sexologist, Taz, and the full panel are back at the table, and this episode starts a debate that had everybody in their feelings before the first commercial break. Bonnets and durags outside—where do we draw the line? Is it a style choice, a cultural norm, a comfort thing, or has it become an excuse to stop caring about how we show up in public?Please visit our website for more https://www.onsiteglobalmedia.us/Luis comes in immediately with his position and he is not backing down. He wears his durag on the way to the function, takes it off when he gets there, and sees nothing wrong with that. The panel is not fully convinced. Kash draws the line at bonnets specifically and makes the case for the silk scarf instead.She breaks it all the way down: it's not really about the bonnet or the durag, it's about perception, image, and the version of yourself you're putting out into the world. Rah Ali even admits to being a bit of a hypocrite, confessing she loves a comfortable mumu and bonnet but will still pass judgment on others who step outside in them!Then the conversation takes a sharp left turn into men getting their nails painted, proper hookah posture, and whether any of it is a dealbreaker in a relationship. It goes exactly where you think it's going to go and somehow goes further. There's a time and a place for everything.The question is do you know the difference? We're not letting anybody off the hook. On the contrary.
The narrative that women can't keep friends, that we're catty, competitive, and disloyal?We're flipping all of it today. Rah Ali, Luis, Kash the Sexologist, Rico, and Taz are at the table and this episode they're getting into one of the most layered conversations the panel has had all season female friendships. Who benefits from women believing they can't trust each other?What does it actually take to build a friendship between women that lasts?And is it really that women lose friends or that they outgrow them? Rico comes in immediately with zero female friends and zero apologies about it.The women at the table are not letting that slide. Kash breaks down the tiers of friendship and why not every friend is meant for every room. Rah gets real about the friends you love but can't bring everywhere and why that's not a betrayal, it's just knowing your people.And Taz brings the perspective that stops the whole conversation sometimes the friendship doesn't end, it just changes shape. And we have to get comfortable with that.Then a caller drops a situation that hits different her best friend of 12 years has gone cold and won't say why. The panel is divided on what to do next.Women don't lose friends. They outgrow them. And that's not something to apologize for.We're not letting anybody off the hook.On the contrary.

What I Discussed With Dr Shamyra Howard...- What a man actually hears when his partner tells him she needs a toy to finish- The three words she gives every couple before they open the box- What happens to the clitoris once the estrogen goes, and why nobody warned us- The one question to answer before you look at a single product- What a manufacturer found when it stopped testing on twenty-five-year-olds- Why she keeps a box of lube next to her desk and gives it away to everyone- What a partner did with my vibrator that I have not stopped thinking about since- The belief about women's sexuality after 50 she would destroy tomorrowChapters00:00– Sponsor spotlight: https://www.ohmibod.com/00:28 – Breaking the silence on why midlife intimacy is due for a serious upgrade.02:06 – Looking at the outdated societal scripts and the hidden pleasure gap affecting mature women.04:11 – Why physical body changes after 50 make intimate aids essential tools rather than afterthoughts.05:10 – Why male partners often feel replaced by bedroom aids and the crucial mindset shift that changes everything.07:54 – How to smoothly invite a hesitant partner to explore intimate devices together without making it awkward.11:02 – The surprising clinical research showing how certain stimulation devices can actively reduce menopause symptoms.12:18 – Choosing the right sensation when navigating internal versus external stimulation options.13:53 – How targeted clitoral air technology is transforming arousal and natural blood flow in post-menopausal bodies.15:07 – Sponsor spotlight: GITM Playbook http://gitmplaybook.com/SUZANNE2015:53 – A compelling study on how regular orgasms can meaningfully protect and boost your mental health.17:17 – Creative ways to use a multi-use massage wand across the entire full body's erogenous zones with a partner.19:37 – Why investing in high-grade intimate wellness tools is just as essential as your regular self-care routine.20:12 – The non-negotiable rule about pairing the right body-safe lubricants with medical-grade silicone.22:04 – Overcoming the persistent stigma around dryness and why lubrication is basic physiology, not a personal failure.24:04 – Combining topical solutions with daily bedroom habits to turn intimate comfort into a completely seamless experience.25:50 – Letting go of performance anxiety and completely redefining what pleasure feels like after 50.26:48 – The single most damaging myth about ageing women's sexuality that needs to be completely dismantled.27:31 – Wrapping up with community resources and practical ways to keep prioritising your intimate life.Show NotesMost women over 50 were handed a script that said sex was something we provide rather than something we receive. Then our bodies changed, nobody explained why, and we quietly decided the problem was us.In this episode I'm joined by Dr Shamyra Howard, an award-winning sexologist and licensed therapist who founded On the Green Couch. She spends her working week with couples over 50 who cannot say one sentence out loud to each other, and she has heard every version of how that silence ends.I told her something I do not say often. I need a toy about 80% of the time to get there. I have also been with a man who told me toys were not coming into his bedroom, and that put more strain on the relationship than the toy ever could have. Shamyra explained what he was hearing that I had no idea he was hearing.She is just as direct about the industry. Most sex toy companies still design for the average twenty-five year old, and she names the two that stopped and started asking menopausal women what they actually want instead.There is no clinical distance in this conversation and no coyness either. If sex has quietly got harder and you have been waiting for it to sort itself out, this is the episode that tells you what you are waiting on.Listen, learn and enjoy.Key Takeaways- The oral medications for men release the brakes. Sex toys do the same job for women, and Shamyra's line for partners who feel replaced is that tools don't compete, they assist. The toy is a teammate, not a rival.- Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone all fall from around 50. Lubrication drops, clitoral sensation drops and arousal needs more input than it used to. Most male partners have never been told any of this, so they keep doing what always worked.- Invite, don't surprise. Bring your partner into the decision before the toy arrives, frame it as an us thing rather than a me thing, and be clear that if pleasure matters to both of you, this is not optional.- Do not start with the catalogue. Decide where you want the sensation first. Shamyra finds women over 50 are moving away from penetrative options and towards clitoral ones, which narrows hundreds of products to a handful.- Womanizer and We-Vibe are running their market research with menopausal and post-menopausal women rather than twenty-five year olds. Womanizer reports that users of one of its pleasure air devices experienced fewer menopause symptoms, including poor sleep and irritability.- Clitoral suction increases blood flow to the area, and blood flow is where the arousal problem sits. Plenty of women are not orgasming for the simple reason that they were never sufficiently aroused.- A wand earns its price outside the bedroom. Neck, shoulders, feet, behind the knees, the inside of the thighs, and on a partner's body too. Shamyra treats good toys the way we treat hair and nails, as something worth paying for.- Water-based lube only with silicone toys, or the material breaks down. Check the ingredients for glycerin. And needing lube is not a verdict on you or your partner. Wetness depends on hormones and arousal, and the hormones are leaving.About the GuestShamyra holds a Doctorate in Social Work, she's an international award-winning Sexologist, Professor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist who exposes people to what they're missing from intimacy, so they can have a great relationship and better sex!She's a sexuality media maven featured in major digital and television productions, such as CNN, VOGUE, The New York Times, Peacock, OWN and many more, and she's the Founder of On the Green Couch, where she helps people manage sexual issues, create their best relationships, and have amazing sex.About SuzanneSuzanne Noble is a sex and relationship expert, author, and host of the Sex Advice for Seniors podcast, one of the top-rated shows empowering people 50+ to embrace confident, joyful intimacy.

Paul de River. The aristocratic Krafft-Ebing was a German psychiatrist and author of the seminal Psychopathia Sexualis. J. Paul de River was the chief psychiatrist of the Los Angeles Sex Offense Bureau during the 1940s and author of The Sexual Criminal: A Psychoanalytic Study. The work of these two eccentric, obsessive, and sometimes deluded psychiatrists provide compelling time-capsules into the dark underbelly of 19th century Vienna, and the sordid backstreets of mid-century Los Angeles. Mikita Brottman is Professor of Literature at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. She has a D.Phil from Oxford University in English Language and Literature, and is an NAAP certified psychoanalyst. She performs forensic evaluations for the National Institute for the study, prevention and treatment of sexual trauma. She is also the author of 15 nonfiction books, the latest of which, Guilty Creatures (Simon & Schuster, 2024) was described by the New York Times as “an unputdownable read.” https://mikitabrottman.com News & updates: Our next event is Saturday, August 15th, with the next installment of An Introduction to Psychoanalysis. We'll look at Jean Laplanche and his influence on queer theory, Heinz Kohut and Self Psychology, Transpersonal Psychology a la Abraham Maslow and Stanislav Grof, as well as Israel Regardie, an interesting character at the crossroads of 20th-century psychoanalysis and occultism.

What if the biggest barrier to better sex isn’t your body, your partner, or your libido, but the shame and silence surrounding it? In this episode, Dr Mariam sits down with Australia’s go-to sexologist, Chantelle Otten, for a candid, practical and deeply reassuring conversation about sex, intimacy and why so many of us are still too embarrassed to talk about what’s happening in the bedroom. From mismatched libidos and postpartum desire dips to painful sex, vaginismus and the mental load that can kill the mood before anyone even makes it to bed, Chantelle explains why great sex isn’t about performance, it’s about curiosity, communication and giving yourself permission to change the rules. Plus, she answers your anonymous listener questions: Why can you orgasm alone but not with a partner? Is it normal to lose all desire after kids?

In this episode, I'm taking you inside one of Paris's most talked-about and notoriously hard-to-get-into sex clubs: Les Chandelles (aka "The Candlesticks"). Andrew and I had been planning this Europe trip for a while, and visiting this club was on our list.I share what it was actually like getting in (yes, the stilettos and suits are non-negotiable), the stark cultural differences between American and European sex clubs, and how the experience ended up being a sexy, fun, trust-building moment in our relationship.I also get real about timing- why my boyfriend and I waited until we were truly secure as a couple before exploring this kind of experience and why trying to use something like this to "fix" a relationship is often a recipe for disaster based on my professional opinion. Whether this is something you're curious about or just want to understand better, I hope this episode gives you an honest, thoughtful perspective into what a great first experience can look like!The 1% Man's Guide to the Sex Life You Were Built For:https://www.stephanieganowski.com/the-shift/

Coral Osborne is a Certified Sexologist, Sex and Intimacy Coach who specializes in helping men overcome intimacy struggles, reconnect with their desires, and build more fulfilling relationships. Before becoming a Sexologist, Coral spent years as a high-end provider, where she witnessed men in their most unguarded moments—revealing fears around performance, shame about desire, and confusion about intimacy. Those experiences laid the foundation for her current work: helping men heal sexual shame, build confidence, and create embodied, emotionally connected relationships. She has trained with the Sexual Health Alliance, Somatica Institute, and Dr. Saida Desilets' Embodied Psychosexual Method (EPSM), with additional study in tantra, kink/bdsm, somatic experiencing, Jungian psychology, and men's work. Her multi-disciplinary approach integrates evolutionary psychology, attachment theory, cultural constructivism, depth psychology, and polyvagal theory. Coral believes our relationship to sex mirrors how we engage with life—and that healing the Madonna–Whore split is essential to reclaiming wholeness and vitality. She writes a regular Substack column dissecting erotic experience through a sexological lens and is at work on her first book, The Whore's Gospel: Case Studies in Sex, Power & Truth. She also hosts The Next Man Up podcast, exploring the paradoxes and misconceptions of modern masculinity. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
