  • Summary

  • What shapes our relationship to sex? And how is technology changing that?

    Sex is about so much more than just fucking. It's about our relationship to ourselves and to our bodies. It’s about how we experience gender and the power dynamics that come with it. It’s about our capacity for vulnerability and how willing we are to let others in.

    Our relationship to sex tells us so much about who we are and how we show up in the world. So why don't we talk about it more openly?

    In this podcast, host and founder of Sex Talks, Emma-Louise Boynton, sits down with a new guest each week to do just that. Opening up discussion on typically taboo topics, Emma-Louise explores issues around sex and relationships, gender and the role technology is playing in changing the way we date, love and fuck.

    From writers, authors and therapists, to actors, musicians and founders, the podcast brings in voices from across the board to talk about sex.

  • Why women are trained for goodness, while men are trained for power with author and former Goop CCO, Elise Loehnen

    Why women are trained for goodness, while men are trained for power with author and former Goop CCO, Elise Loehnen
    Apr 25 2024

    In this episode, Emma sits down with writer and author, Elise Loehnen, to discuss her best-selling new book, On Our Best Behaviour: The Price Women Pay to be Good.

    Together they unpack the web of myths and cultural expectations that prop up patriarchy and keep women chasing an ideal of perfection that is neither achievable nor really desirable.

    "Women," Loehnen explains, "'have been trained for goodness. Men, meanwhile, have been trained for power.'

    Elise is the former chief content officer of Gwyneth Paltrow’s company Goop, where she oversaw its blog, newsletter, book imprint and podcast as well as its Netflix documentary series, “The Goop Lab.”

    In 2020, Loehen decided to step down from her position with the company and On Our Best Behaviour is her firstly solely by-lined book. She has ghostwritten 12 other titles.

  • The link between housework & orgasms: Tackling everyday sexism with campaigner and author, Laura Bates

    The link between housework & orgasms: Tackling everyday sexism with campaigner and author, Laura Bates
    Apr 4 2024

    What does the number of hours women spend doing housework have to do with the orgasm gap?!

    According to bestselling author and the founder of the Everyday sexism campaign, Laura Bates, a lot.

    In this episode, Emma sits down with Laura to discuss the systemic ways in which gender inequality remains entrenched in our society - from the social pressure on women to deprioritise their pleasure, to the routinisation of casual sexism, to the rise of extremist, misogynistic ideologies.

    But it is not all doom and gloom, they end the discussion looking at the reasons for staying hopeful and what we can all do to fix the system, not the women.
