In this enlightening episode, join me as I chat with Tricia, the Safe Slut, also known as Cassie Black in her role as an adult artist, who champions sex positivity through her diverse work ranging from sex education to creating content for OnlyFans and participating in both mainstream and artistic adult films. Our conversation dives into the deeply personal and universally relevant topic of living with genital herpes—a condition we both share—and how it influences our lives and dating experiences. Tricia shares her insightful and empowering perspective on why conversations about safer sex aren't just necessary; they're downright sexy. We tackle the common excuses people use to avoid sexual health responsibilities, explore the difference between being oversexualized versus celebrating our sexuality, and discuss the realities of working in the porn industry while still conveying a message of self-empowerment. One of the most powerful takeaways from our discussion was her affirming statement: "I have herpes and I am hot," a testament to embracing and owning one's sexuality despite societal stigma. Don't miss this candid, vulnerable, and educational episode that challenges perceptions and invites a more open dialogue about sex, health, and self-acceptance. .

In this playful episode, I sit down with Reid Mihalko, a sex and relationship coach. As we flirt and giggle our way through some deeply enriching discussions, we touch on the pressing need for ingrained consent, especially for those in privileged positions. Reid offers a fresh perspective on how society grapples with mistakes, referring to his own past restorative justice process. Ever heard of "dating your species"? It's Reid's teaching about recognizing who you truly are in the vast spectrum of relationships and connecting with those who genuinely match you in it. Whether you're an adventurous monogamist dreaming of sailing escapades or a queer individual embracing promiscuity, Reid emphasizes the importance of clarity in choosing partners. We dive deep into the world of open relating and the art of ethical sluttiness, exploring how to leave every encounter, be it a person or place, better than you found it. Reid's sex-positive narratives might just catch you off-guard, you are warned! Join us for this rollercoaster of an episode – it's flirty, vulnerable, educational, and sure to make you rethink some relationship tenets. If there's one thing I hope for, it's that you'll find as much value in listening as we did in sharing our crush-laden conversation.

In this deeply personal episode, Saskia speaks into her journey from discomfort and pain to self-connection, to doing it her way and to doing things in her pace. The tantric workshops and gatherings initially drew her in, with their potential for liberation and ecstasy. However, Saskia found herself overriding her own body, lost in an intensity that felt far away from true pleasure for her. As a very sensitive woman, she started listening more to the subtle whispers of her body and found great treasures. She describes to us how sex has always been painful and how her relationship to her own erotic body has shifted. Listen to this heartfelt conversation where vulnerability meets wisdom, and where Saskia's story beckons us to explore our own paths to pleasure, on our terms, at our pace.

"How did you start doing the job you do?" Thanks to you asking me this question often lately, this episode is laying out the key events in my life that shaped me to where I am now.  Like every mother has a birth story, all of us have a story about growing as a sexual being. Explaining to you what got me to become a holistic intimacy and sexuality coach is pretty much the same as telling you this personal tale. By listening you'll get to know how I started my journey full of eagerness and curiosity but also with patterns of pleasing, non-consensual happenings, genital health challenges and experiences of painful intercourse. You hear about some turning points that made me look for alternative ways to navigate my intimate life. You'll get to know more about the ways I found or created the kind of safety I needed to heal. How did I find the kind of intimacy and ways of relating that fulfilled me in a much deeper way, uniquely to what I need and long for? This is also to you who's my client and who feels like I know your whole life story while you barely know mine! If this was of any value to you, share it with your friends and leave a comment.

You can also read this on my blog. We don't learn about masturbation. We don't learn about our anatomy (like, for real, there are so many misconceptions about our genitals). We don't learn about having difficult conversations or setting personal boundaries. We don't learn what an orgasm is. In our curriculum, LGBTQA+ was highly unmentioned. And how the freak is it possible we don't learn how to read the signs of our fertility? Some are angry. Some are confused. Maybe you feel unsatisfied. Many wondered and didn't know who to ask to. Any time I study more about the erotic body or receive a question from a client that starts with "Is it normal that..." and continues with something that is completely normal (like always), my heart breaks a bit. The consequences of having a topic like sexuality be taboo is massive for our self-image, our sexual well-being and thus our overall health. Let's start talking about what is important! In this episode my sister and I talk about our experience of growing up as young girls. It's a story that many can relate to and a conversation we hope you start opening more with those around you. Get in touch if you are interested in working with me: www.intimate-breath.com Ps. If there is one thing for sure, it is that I am way better in talking pleasure than setting up a recording studio! With humor and some sincere sadness I can tell you I took a microphone and not-so-light-weighted soundcard with me on my travel to Belgium, only to realize afterwards I by accident used the computer microphone anyways. I hope you find some joy in listening to our talk nevertheless! You can read the transcript here.

Arousal, sexual pleasure and orgasms, can they also be present in situations that are usually not considered as sexual? In this episode I’m sharing a personal story about a powerful orgasmic experience I’ve had now multiple times more since this recording happened. Olivia is with me and guides the conversation with her curiosity. You’ll hear more about how pleasure and creation are linked in two directions. Through the body, through touch and through our sexual pleasure we can access flow, effortless creation and expression. From there we can feel inspired and take action. The other way around is also possible: the (biologically crucial and ) purposeful act of creating a baby is meant to be pleasurable. Any other creation that feels purposeful and comes from a deep care can also be orgasmic. Can this positive feedback loop of bodily pleasure in our work support us to create more and more effortlessly? Other subjects we dive into: Allowing ourselves to feel turned-on whenever A new perspective on orgasms and how they can feel like Looking at creation in cycles Our mind as a fully integrated part of our being Are you open to being surprised of what’s possible?
