About this listen

Why is sex still so taboo if literally everyone is doing it?

Let's talk the psychology of sexual shame, why we’re uncomfortable talking about intimacy, how cultural conditioning shaped our beliefs about desire, and what it actually takes to build a confident, healthy relationship with sex.

From kink misconceptions and solo exploration to consent, communication, body image, and self-worth, this episode breaks down modern intimacy through humor, psychology, and real talk. We explore:

• Why society still treats sex as forbidden
• The science behind desire and dopamine
• What kink really means (and why it’s misunderstood)
• The mental health impact of sexual shame
• How body image affects pleasure
• Why communication makes sex better
• How to rewrite your sexual narrative

This is not shock value. This is education, empowerment, and honesty — without awkward whispers.

If you’ve ever felt confused, embarrassed, curious, or just wanted a smarter conversation about sex and intimacy, this episode is for you.
