What happens when we stop whispering about desire and start telling the truth about it?

In this episode of Come Talk with Aimee, I’m joined by Carly Pifer, founder of Read Aurore, a platform dedicated to sharing real, confessional erotica. Not fantasy wrapped in perfection, but honest stories about sex, longing, curiosity, and the messy, beautiful reality of being human in a body.

We talk about why storytelling can be such a powerful gateway to understanding our desires, how writing about pleasure can shift shame into self-awareness, and why seeing real experiences reflected back to us can feel both liberating and deeply validating.

This conversation explores how erotica can be more than entertainment. It can be a tool for self-discovery, communication, and reclaiming pleasure on our own terms.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What makes real erotica different from traditional romance or fantasy

• Why writing about sex can be a powerful form of self-discovery

• The connection between storytelling, desire, and empowerment

• How reading real experiences can normalize pleasure and reduce shame

• What happens when women start telling the truth about their sexuality

If you’ve ever been curious about erotica, or wondered why stories can feel so powerful when it comes to desire, this episode opens the door to a whole new way of thinking about pleasure.

What does it actually mean to step into your pleasure power?

In this quickie episode, I'm getting personal and sharing my own journey from purity culture to tapping into my pleasure power. I’m pulling back the curtain on how I reclaimed my pleasure and share about how I went from thinking "sex isn't fun" to discovering what my body is truly capable of.

This is the story of how I went from having painful, controlled sex in my marriage to fully owning my erotic self. It's about the 3 P's that changed everything for me: Permission, Presence, and Play.

We talk about

• growing up in purity culture and the mixed messages I received about sex

• my marriage, mismatched desire, and painful sex that I thought was "normal"

• the conversation with a friend that gave me permission to want pleasure

• my first vibrator and the moment everything changed

• why masturbation isn't just for single people

• tools for exploring your erotic self, including erotica, ethical porn, and toys

• stepping into kink and exploring my edges

  
  

If you've ever felt disconnected from your pleasure or been told that sex is supposed to hurt, this episode is your permission slip to want more.

So, tell me about the last time you had sex…

In this episode, I had the privilege of interviewing New York Times bestselling author and sex therapist Ian Kerner, whose books She Comes First and So Tell Me About the Last Time You Had Sex have deeply influenced how I think about pleasure, intimacy, and sexual connection. Ian joins me for a grounded, refreshing conversation about sex scripts, performance pressure, desire, and why so many people feel disconnected from pleasure even when they’re doing everything “right.”

We talk about

• sex scripts and how they quietly shape desire and arousal

• performance anxiety and why it shuts down pleasure

• receiving pleasure without feeling like you have to perform

• why intercourse-centric sex limits intimacy

• psychological arousal, fantasy, and creating the right conditions for desire

• how communication becomes a form of foreplay

If you’ve been craving intimacy that feels less pressured, more connected, and actually pleasurable, this episode offers a new way to understand what great sex really requires.

If you have ever been curious about play parties but also slightly terrified, confused, or convinced it is just one big chaotic orgy, this episode is for you. Consider this your permission slip to get informed before you go out to play.

In this episode, I sit down with Le Organizer, a longtime play party host and event producer, for a no-BS conversation about what actually happens at play parties and how to navigate them safely. We break down the biggest misconceptions, why most play parties are far more social than sexual, and how consent, communication, and aftercare are taken seriously in well-run spaces.

We talk about

• Vetting events and reading descriptions like your safety depends on it

• Navigating scenes and knowing when to watch and when to join

• Saying no without guilt, using consent advocates, and why you never owe anyone play just because you showed up

• Swinger culture versus play parties

• Why education and community matter more than ever in sex-positive spaces

Listen in for an honest and informative conversation that demystifies play parties and puts consent, safety, and pleasure back where they belong. Whether you are just curious or thinking about buying your first ticket, this episode will help you walk in informed, confident, and grounded.

In this episode, I have my first-ever repeat guest, Rebecca Giguere, intimacy researcher, relationship coach, and the person fully responsible for wrecking my emotional stability by recommending this series to me. We break down why women everywhere are losing their minds over this show, from the slow burn tension and locker room glances to the emotional vulnerability, tenderness, and male softness we rarely get to see on screen.

We talk about:

• Why yearning is hotter than instant gratification

• Male vulnerability and why it feels rare and electric to watch

• Queer love, representation, and the relief of no male gaze

• Female allyship and the power of safe women in men’s lives

• Why this show quietly raises your standards without you realizing

Physician assistant, intimacy educator, and podcast host Jordan D’Nelle joins me on the show for a bold, honest, no-sugarcoating conversation about casual sex, casual relationships, and how to actually enjoy them without losing yourself. From defining what casual really means to calling out the double standards women still face, we get into the real mechanics of having sex for pleasure without shame, confusion, or emotional burnout.

We talk about:

• How to define casual sex in a way that centres women’s pleasure, agency, and desire

• Knowing your intentions before you get naked and why it changes everything

• Setting boundaries around overnights, cuddling, kissing, communication, and aftercare

• Knowing the red flags, green flags, and why chemistry makes us ignore what we should not

• Keeping yourself safe from STI’s

• How to stop chasing approval and start choosing yourself

Stand-up comedian and Broadway star Rick Younger joins me on the podcast for a hilariously real, no-filter conversation about sex, comedy, and the art of being a grown-ass man. From his legendary reputation as "the guy who's not afraid to eat the pussy" to navigating the wild worlds of stand-up, acting, and ethical porn, Rick leaves no stone (or taboo) unturned. We get into the hilarious truths about bedroom awkwardness, why men need to stop treating every pussy like the last one, and how a sense of humor is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

We talk about:

• Building a positive online community through his Low Budget Morning Show while calmly disarming trolls and racist comments.

• Why humor is a powerful tool for confidence on stage and a genuine asset for connection in the bedroom.

• Debunking the idea that every vagina works the same and how men can move beyond a one size fits all approach.

• Challenging pleasure taboos around topics like anal stimulation and nipple play for men and women.

• Navigating racial stereotypes in comedy and how being a Black man shapes the perception of his sexual material.

Listen in for a laugh-out-loud, no-holds-barred conversation that blends street-smart wisdom with Broadway flair, and proves that the best intimacy is built on humor, honesty, and a willingness to learn.

Why are so many men not getting laid, and why does sex feel so out of reach for so many men? In this episode, I sit with former Google engineer and creator Robyn Silber for a direct, honest conversation about unbed men, incels, the manosphere, and what is actually blocking connection for men today. We unpack why this is not just a dating or sex problem, but a deeper issue rooted in loneliness, emotional disconnection, and missing relational skills.

We talk about:

• why being unbed is not the same as being an incel, and why that distinction matters
• how shame, social skill gaps, and emotional shutdown make sex feel inaccessible
• why many men chase sex when what they are really craving is connection
• how neurodivergence and the absence of male friendship intensify isolation
• where the manosphere reflects real pain, and where it pushes men further from intimacy

Listen in for a direct, to-the-point conversation about why sex feels so out of reach for many men, and what actually helps build connection, confidence, and intimacy.
