From paintings on cave walls, to pinup art, to the first cameras taking only six months to go from labs to capturing the nude form, we've always wanted to distill the essence of sex and passion, and turn it into art. And that takes a lot more effort than a ring light and a phone in selfie mode. It takes an awful lot of thought, skill, practice, and daring, as professional erotic photographer, writer, and podcaster Kyle Canon explains... This is a public episode.

Gather around, it's time to have the conversation about the dragons and unicorns, primals and daddies. Yes, with an older, more experienced audience, the topics get a little bit more complicated.

It seems paradoxical to have a label for a sexuality that's all about rejecting labels and following your heart, but we have to call it something. And to orient ourselves in these murky yet welcoming waters, we invited artist and pansexual activist Arthur Durkee to give us a proper introduction. This is a public episode.

Is there a more worn comedy trope than the horny grandpa? Or a "subversive cliche" like a grandma who rattles the youngsters by letting them know she's still down to clown? But all jokes that are now for all intents and purposes antiques aside, we're living longer and better than ever thanks to major strides in medicine, and that means we're almost certainly going to be sexually active longer not just because that's how humans are, but because it's good for us. And with that in mind, senior sex educator Joan Price joins Alex and Ellie to talk about sex after 60.Resources and further reading…* Joan Price | Blog | BooksDid you like this episode?

Continuing the fine tradition of getting wet and messy with our friends Vida and Anthula at the Sex Symbol Podcast, we discuss the options of how to keep the fun going after that explosion of groin batter, baby gravy, man juice, penis colada, ejaculate, or whatever you want to call it.

Sexy nurses with a twinkle in their eye, confident, attractive doctors who spend just a little too much time with their patients and whose exams are a little... extra thorough, are a staple in countless spicy romances, smut, and porn. Why? Because despite the clinical and sterile name "medical fetish," the desire of being taken care of a competent, empathetic medical professional, or to be one, is a lot more common than people tend to think.

Relationships are usually messy and complicated, even ones that might seem idyllic to others and on social media. And while we take the bold and controversial stance that cheating on your partner is wrong, we also want to know why people do the things they do, how they justify it to themselves, and whether something like breaking someone's trust is a sign of bigger problems under the surface. This is why we sat down with Ralph of Help For Men to better dissect this tricky subject.Resources and further reading…* Ralph DSO | Bio | Help For Men | X/Twitter | Instagram* Is There Such a Thing as "Ethical Cheating"?* 20 Signs of a Serial Cheater And How to Spot Them* Why Women Cheat* What Is The Main Cause Of Cheating?* The 8 Main Reasons Why People CheatDid you like this episode?

On this special anniversary episode, we wrap up our first season by answering listener questions and peeling back the curtain just a little bit on how quickly the show is evolving thanks to you. But, of course, it's not all about us. And since we're talking about our past for the first quarter of the episode, we thought it would be fun to explore the hotpast fetish.

Few things are both as common and normal, yet as stigmatized and derided as self-pleasure. Only recently have we been able to have honest discussions about it, why we do it, and where we draw our lines in terms of frequency and creativity. So, on this rowdy trip through the ups and downs and ins and outs of masturbation, Alex and Ellie are joined by erotic author Marty Chapin to talk about everything from No Nut November and Destroy Your Dick December, to neuroscience, zoology, and... smores?Resources and further reading…* Marty Chapin - X/Twitter | Medium | Instagram* Why So Many Animals Evolved To Masturbate* Why We’re Searching For The Evolutionary Origins Of Masturbation* Why We Masturbate* Overcome Masturbation Addiction: How To RecoverDid you like this episode?

It seems like a cliche, but today we truly are more digitally connected than ever while we drift farther and farther apart socially. People are increasingly lonely, and the number one way of meeting partners is subject to algorithms build by those who profit off us mindlessly swiping left and right. And so, an old idea is coming back to life, powered by new leaps in AI and robotics: a perfect, custom built partner delivered to you with just a click of a button. At least in theory. The reality? Well, it's a lot weirder and more complicated.Resources and further reading…* What Is Causing Our Epidemic Of Loneliness* Effectiveness Of Chatbots On Lifestyle Behaviors* Why Sex Robots Won’t Satisfy Incels* ChatBot Honeypot: How AI Companions Could Weaken National Security* My AI Is Sexually Harassing Me* Experts Say AI Girlfriend Apps Are Training Men to Be Even Worse* Men Are Creating AI Girlfriends and Then Verbally Abusing Them This is a public episode.

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and said that you'd look better with a little ink, or a piercing, or a little cosmetic procedure to truly feel confident, happy, and ready to get down and dirty? You're far from alone. From tattoos, to piercings, to forked tongues, to genital modification, a lot of people have turned to science to help their self-esteem, feel more like themselves, give themselves an extra edge, or just restore or commemorate something an illness or accident took away.Resources and further reading…* What Is Genital Beading* E-Stim Emporium* What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation?* OB-GYN Gets Real About Vagina FacialsDid you like this episode?

Traveling around the world is usually an eye-opening experience. You get to see different cultures, learn different histories, hear different languages, and if you're lucky, or just on a mission, get to have sex with interesting new people in exciting new places.

But what if we told you that bringing back some roughhousing, tickling, and physical challenges can really liven things up?

Imagine if you could just let go of all your inhibitions and bad habits, and let yourself drown in the bliss of your experiences, or open yourself up to adventures you never thought you'd be up for with just a snap of a finger. Or a trigger word. Or a carefully constructed phrase. That's the promise of erotic hypnosis; a way to nudge yourself into all the things you really want to do with all the fun and none of the responsibility. Erotic author Hardison Parker joins us to dive deeper into the joys, the science, and the nuances of all things hypnosis.Resources and further reading…* Hardison Parker - X/Twitter | Intrigueverse* Informed Consent And Hypnotherapy* A Beginner's Guide To Erotic Hypnosis* Why Hypnosis Doesn't Work For AllDid you like this episode?

It’s hard to understate just how much social media got people to reveal to the world at large since its inception. From feeling like we’re lounging on the couches of worldwide celebrities, to seeing our friends and neighbors at their most lustful and wild on some of the more spicier platforms and feeds, your mind might just assume that you really, really understand someone you’ve never met. That you have… a relationship. Except the truth of the matter is a lot blurrier and more complicated, merging friendship, fandom, and commerce, often times on purpose.Resources and further reading…* Friend or Faux: Are Parasocial Relationships Healthy?* In Defense of Parasocial Relationships* Chappell Roan And Invasive Fans* The Burden And Blessing Of Parasocial Relationships* The Development of Parasocial Interaction* Undercover As A Secret OnlyFans ChatterDid you like this episode?

There's a concept in psychology known as the hedonic treadmill. It says that when we're used to a certain level of pleasure or opulence after a major life event or experiences, we return our base level of happiness, and then want more. But unless you're an ascetic monk, you probably want to taste some of the finer things in life and feel some of the more intense pleasures without feeling like returning to your normal life is a step down. In this wild -- and admittedly boozy -- episode, SafferMaster and Lady Petra of The Kinky Cocktail Hour Podcast, take us through the ins and outs of being an ethical, and responsible hedonist.Resources and further reading…* Kinky Cocktail Hour Podcast* The Hedonic Treadmill TheoryDid you like this episode?

Nothing lasts forever, including relationships. This is especially true if you're in alternative and non-monogamous lifestyles where you may need to part ways with partners who have very different places in your life. And despite being so unpleasant, breakups are an almost inevitable part of life unless you're amazingly lucky. Surely there has to be a way to work through them and come out with minimal emotional damage on the other end, right? This is why we asked relationship and intimacy experts Dr. Alison Ash and Sebastian Clarke of TurnON Love for some expert advice...Resources and further reading…- TurnON Love- Dr. Alison Ash- Sebastian Clarke- How To Break Up With Someone- Breakup Aftercare: What To Do After A BreakupUse discount code TALKINGKINK for $75 off Dr. Aly's Sexual and Emotional Intimacy Skills course.Did you like this episode?

Since the dawn of humanity, it was the uniform of soldiers, aristocrats, and rulers. Today, it symbolizes luxury, sophistication, and sexual adventure. It's warm, stretchy, durable, and the sound of brushing against it makes enthusiasts' hearts skip a beat. And for some, it's a must have when it comes to playtime. Writer, ASMR artist, and leather and latex expert Alex Keeper joins Alex and Ellie to talk about where the now default image of a dominatrix clad in leather really comes from, and why so many people love everything about it. Yes, that's right, this week you two Alexes for the price of one.Resources and further reading…- Alex Keeper | LinkTree | OnlyFans | InstagramDid you like this episode?

At first blush, you may think that all sexualities are openly accepted today and the only debates around it are between those who want to accept everyone for who they are, and those who don't believe we should be in charge of our own lives if they don't follow rigid tradition. But that's not necessarily true. This week, we sit down with our friend and author Christian Pan to talk about bisexuality and the past, present, and future of those who embrace this identity.Resources and further reading…- Christian Pan | Website | All Books- The Best Bi Erotica Of The Year: Volume 1- Erasure Of Bisexuality- Pew: Six Facts About Bisexual AmericansDid you like this episode?
