Description
Sex is Good.
And we’re done pretending otherwise.
The Sex Is Good podcast exists to say the quiet part out loud: sex is fun, sex is normal, and sex is something adults get to enjoy without shame, fear, or bad information.
Hosted by the founder of a sex-positive telehealth company and a medical provider who actually understands how bodies work in the real world, this podcast breaks down the science of sex, STIs, desire, performance, relationships, and pleasure — without pearl-clutching, scare tactics, or outdated sex-ed nonsense.
We talk about the things you weren’t taught in school.
We unlearn the myths you were taught.
And we remind you that having a great sex life and taking care of your sexual health are not opposites — they’re partners.
Yes, we talk about STIs.
Yes, we talk about testing and prevention.
And no, that doesn’t mean sex has to be boring, stressful, or wrapped in shame.
You can absolutely have your cake and eat it too. You can have a wild, fulfilling, adventurous sex life and be informed, responsible, and confident about your health. In fact, we’d argue that’s the whole point.
This isn’t a sex story podcast.
It’s a sex science, sex truth, and sex freedom podcast.
Smart, evidence-based, irreverent, and unapologetically pro-pleasure.
Because sex is good. And we’re done pretending it’s not.

Sex is good. Fear-based sex education is not. In this episode, we take an honest, evidence-based look at HIV transmission — what your real risk actually is, how it’s measured, and why it’s often dramatically misunderstood. We break down: • Per-act HIV transmission rates (vaginal, anal, oral) • Why receptive anal sex carries higher risk — and what that actually means numerically • What U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable) truly means • How viral load changes risk • How PrEP reduces transmis...
The more things change, the more they stay the same — and Valentine’s Day has always been about sex. Long before heart-shaped chocolates and prix-fixe dinners, Valentine’s Day involved nearly naked young Roman men running through the streets and whipping women with goat skins to promote fertility. And yes — women lined up for it. In this episode, the Sex Is Good podcast team dives into the sexy, strange, and unapologetically spicy history of Valentine’s Day, separating romantic myth from bi...
Erections aren’t always a blood flow problem. In this episode, we break down apomorphine, an ED medication that works in the brain, not the penis. Unlike sildenafil or tadalafil, apomorphine targets dopamine pathways involved in sexual arousal, motivation, and performance anxiety. Rugiet has been advertised apomorphine a lot, but is it safe? Is it effective? Wasn't it used to induce vomiting? Can it really be used for erectile dysfunction? We explain how and why apomorphine works, who ...
BDSM is one of the most misunderstood areas of human sexuality. For many people, it’s assumed to be dangerous, pathological, or a sign that something is “wrong.” The psychology tells a very different story. In this episode, we’re joined by certified sex therapist Dr. Stephanie Sigler to unpack what actually happens in the brain during consensual power exchange, why trust and communication are central to BDSM, and how these dynamics can be psychologically healthy for many people.
Bremelanotide, also known as PT-141, is one of the most misunderstood sexual health medications available today, and it has one of the strangest origin stories in modern medicine. It was originally studied as a tanning drug, but researchers noticed an unexpected side effect—spontaneous erections. That discovery led scientists to remove the skin-darkening component, resulting in bremelanotide as we know it today. In this episode, we explain how PT-141 works on the brain rather than blood flow...
Hedonism II is a resort in Jamaica that’s split between two worlds: half clothing-optional, half nude-mandatory. It’s a place intentionally designed for adults who want freedom, curiosity, and connection without judgment. Yes, people can have sex under the moon and stars. But they can also spend the day by the pool, dance all night long, and end up talking to a stranger in a hot tub at 4 a.m. who somehow feels like an old friend. The energy moves easily between playful, intimate, social, and...
Addyi was marketed as a breakthrough. But is one additional satisfying sexual experience per month, on average, worth abstaining from alcohol and accepting the risk of meaningful side effects? That question sits at the center of a drug that genuinely helps some people, while confusing and disappointing many others. In this episode, we break down what Addyi actually is, what the clinical trials showed, why FDA approval was so controversial, and who this medication may or may not make sense fo...

Chlamydia has been around far longer than most people realize, long before antibiotics, modern testing, or even a clear understanding of what it was. In this episode, we walk through the surprisingly fascinating history of chlamydia, how it was misunderstood for centuries, how it was finally identified, and why those early blind spots sti...
Everyone knows that oral sex can cause cancer, but what kind? And is there a test for it? Trigger warning: Cancer Robert got a bit emotional at the beginning of this one. Cancer is a scary word. HPV is one of the most common viruses on earth—and the leading cause of oropharyngeal cancer. In this episode, we break down the link between HPV-16 and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). We’ll explain how many people carry oral HPV, how many carry HPV-16 specifically,...
She had sex in a car, got an STI, and filed an auto insurance claim. And unbelievably, it worked. In this episode, we unpack one of the strangest legal cases in recent memory. A woman contracts an STI after having sex in a parked car, files a claim under the driver’s auto insurance policy, and a court agrees that the infection counts as a covered bodily injury. Yes. Really. We walk through the full backstory. Who the people involved were. Why the claim was filed in the first place. H...
You are not the man your grandfather was. And that is not an insult. It is data. Over the past several decades, sperm counts have fallen dramatically and average testosterone levels in men have declined across generations. This episode looks at what the research actually shows, what is still debated, and what is often exaggerated or misunderstood online. This is not an episode about shaming modern masculinity. It is about understanding how bodies respond to modern life, why the data matters...
Vaginal lubrication. You love it. You want it. But do you actually understand it? In this episode, we break down what getting wet really means and why it is one of the most misunderstood parts of sex. We talk about how lubrication actually works, what arousal does and does not control, and why dryness is not a failure, a flaw, or a lack of desire. We cover natural lubrication, hormone driven changes, medications, stress, menopause, postpartum bodies, and why relying on wetness as proof of a...
Sex is supposed to be fun — but for a lot of people, it comes with some unsexy side effects. In this episode, we talk honestly about bacterial vaginosis (BV), urinary tract infections (UTIs), and yeast infections — why they’re common, why they often show up after sex, and why they’re not a sign that anything is “wrong” with you or your partner. Most importantly, we walk through how these conditions are treated — when telehealth is appropriate, when you should see an in-person physician, and...
Before Viagra, erectile dysfunction was not treated with a discreet pill and a glass of water. It was treated with injections straight into the penis, vacuum pumps that looked like medical torture devices, hormone experiments, surgery, psychotherapy, and a truly impressive amount of bad science and outright nonsense. In this episode, we walk through what ED treatment actually looked like before the late 1990s and why some of those approaches were abandoned while others quietly remain more eff...
Christmas is supposed to be wholesome. Family friendly. Safe. Historically, that could not be further from the truth. Long before Christmas trees, carols, and Santa Claus, winter celebrations were loud, chaotic, and openly sexual. Ancient Romans celebrated Saturnalia with role reversals, heavy drinking, and public debauchery. Pagan solstice festivals across Europe centered fertility, sex, and rebirth. Medieval Christmas often looked more like a sanctioned carnival than a holy day. Even tradi...
For decades, HIV was a diagnosis defined by fear, stigma, and loss. In this episode, we trace the true history of HIV from its earliest recognition through the AIDS crisis and into the modern era of treatment and prevention. We explore how science, activism, politics, and public misunderstanding shaped the epidemic, and how HIV became one of the most studied and treatable viral diseases in human history.

It has expanded access, improved convenience, and helped a lot of people. But there are also aspects of the industry that I find predictable, yet disappointing. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on how telehealth actually works. We talk about why telehealth comp...
Are you trying to keep a secret? In this episode, we break down what actually happens to your telehealth visits, prescriptions, and test results after you click “submit.” What gets documented. What gets shared. What might quietly show up in your medical record later — sometimes years down the line. We explain how electronic health records work, when prescriptions can appear in pharmacy and insurance systems, why some medications are more visible than others, and how your “private” telehealth ...
Everyone says herpes screening tests aren’t “accurate”… but is that actually true? In this week’s podcast, we break it all down: specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value, IgG versus IgM — everything you could possibly want to know about herpes simplex virus antibody testing (and probably a few things you didn’t know you needed). If you’ve ever wondered why these tests are so misunderstood — or why people panic over results that don’t mean what they think they mean — this episode w...
In today’s episode, we may have our best Dirty Joke of the Week ever. Oh — and we’re also answering six sexy questions with real science. What exactly is pre-ejaculate? How likely is pregnancy after a vasectomy? How fast do sperm die when swallowed? And plenty more where that came from.
