Lets Talk Sex

In this focused 10-minute episode Sarah walks listeners through a repeatable Profile-to-Date audit that treats profiles and early chat as testable data, not fate. Listeners get three concrete signals—Profile Story, Reply Momentum, and Calendar-First Timing—and a unique two-option calendar nudge that reduces decision friction and raises reply-to-date conversions. The episode includes a 3-minute guided aloud audit, two micro-scripts (calendar-first invite and a low-effort follow-up), and a one-week mini-experiment with two easy metrics to track. A short before/after vignette illustrates impact: a listener who changed one bio line and used the two-option nudge went from stalled matches to two confirmed dates in a week. For listeners who can’t update photos, Sarah offers a specific photo-proxy: a pinned 10–12 word bio line or a short pinned voice-note plus caption formula. Tactical yet empathetic, the episode leaves listeners motivated to test small changes and measure real results.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

A new study from the Kinsey Institute reveals that gaps in what we learned in our youth are still affecting adults, leading to struggles in relationships, a lack of sexual confidence, and even a reduced quality of life.The research surveyed nearly 3,900 single adults across the U.S., ranging from 18 to 98 years old. What they found was striking:  roughly a third of participants never received any information on crucial topics like healthy relationships, consent, communicating with partners, or sexual pleasure from *any* source – not school, not family, not friends. While traditional sex education often focuses heavily on reproduction, pregnancy, STIs, and contraceptionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

Today we’re exploring a topic that expands our understanding of pleasure: non-genital erogenous zones. These are areas beyond the genitals that, when touched or stimulated, can evoke deep arousal, relaxation, and even orgasm.While preferences vary, research consistently highlights the lips, neck, ears, nipples, inner thighs, and buttocks as common hotspots. A 2020 study found that simply looking at or touching a partner’s body can be arousing—suggesting these zones are remarkably consistent across genders and cultures.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

Fueled by the “sober curious” movement, people—especially younger generations—are choosing connection without the haze of alcohol or substances. This shift prioritizes presence, mindfulness, and emotional clarity over chemically-induced disinhibition.Couples are embracing breathwork, meditation, and “slow sex” to deepen emotional bonds and reduce anxiety. Communication is central—replacing performance with open dialogue about desires, boundaries, and sexual health. Without alcohol, sensations sharpen, consent strengthens, and trust grows.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

Today, we're diving deep into a phenomenon that touches every human life, yet remains notoriously difficult to define: love. Far more than just an emotion, many researchers now see love as an essential physiological drive, as fundamental as hunger or thirst.So, what exactly is love? From a psychological angle, it’s a complex interplay of emotions like care, closeness, and affection, alongside behaviors such as protection and trust. Psychologist Robert Sternberg's renowned triangular theory breaks it down into three core components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. Intimacy is that feeling of emotional bonding and closeness.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.
