Why do we moan during sex? Is it a natural, biological reflex… or something we’ve learned from culture, porn, and partners? Are moans performative — signals meant to turn on someone else — or are they raw, uncontrollable expressions of pleasure? In this episode of the Shameless Care Podcast, Robert and Anna dig deep into the science of moaning, exploring the intersection of biology, psychology, and social learning. We trace moaning back to its evolutionary roots, looking at animal research a...
Welcome to The Shameless Care Podcast! In this episode, Robert (founder of Shameless Care) and the brilliant, ever-insightful Anna sit down to unpack one of the most confusing, fear-inducing, and wildly misunderstood topics in sexual health: hepatitis. If you’ve ever been handed a test result that said “hepatitis” and panicked, you’re not alone. Reddit threads are filled with people freaking out after seeing positive markers—without realizing half the time it doesn’t even mean they have hepa...
Have you ever cheered when a scammer got scammed? Have you ever laughed when an anti-LGBTQ politician was caught in a gay sex scandal? That little thrill you feel isn’t random — it’s human nature. Across every culture, every story, every fairy tale, the lesson is the same: actions have consequences. The lazy pigs lose their houses. The greedy villain is crushed. We love seeing people get their just desserts. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: that same instinct shapes the way we think abou...
Would you take a medication that isn’t FDA-approved? If you’ve ever used a compounded drug, you already have. In fact, you likely are right now.

Patients hear “not FDA-approved” and panic—but the real story is far more complicated.

What happens when the U.S. Army has more soldiers knocked out by syphilis and gonorrhea than by bullets? In 1863 Nashville, military leaders came up with a desperate — and bizarre — solution: round up hundreds of prostitutes, shove them onto a steamboat called The Idahoe, and ship them out of town. What was supposed to be a three-day exile turned into more than a month of misery. No city wanted them. The women were dragged from Nashville all the way up the river to Cincinnati and then forced...
That internal wall of tissue between the anus and the vagina - it has a name: the rectovaginal septum. And the perineal sponge—that’s erectile tissue that sits right on top of that septum—gets engorged during arousal, adding even more sensation. Wild, huh? Think you know your body? Chances are, you’ve got some surprises coming. In this episode of the Shameless Care Podcast, Robert and Anna unpack ten sexual anatomy facts that defy common assumptions — and may just change how you think a...
What’s really happening in our brains and bodies during a one-night stand? Why do some people swear by them while others wake up filled with regret?

🎙️ Penis Size and Science: What’s Normal, What Partners Really Desire Penis size anxiety is everywhere—on message boards, in locker rooms, and yes, even in the bedroom.

It’s safe to say that most sex-positive folks groom their pubic hair—but did you know that both shaving and waxing can increase your risk of STIs? It’s true—especially for infections that enter through the skin, like human papillomavirus (HPV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV). And it can take THREE WEEKS to recover to baseline!

Female ejaculation and squirting: What are they? Are they the same thing? it’s one of the most debatedujhg, misunderstood, and myth-loaded topics in sexual health. Is squirting pee?

This week’s episode of the Shameless Care Podcast serves up a mix of humor, science, and straight-talk sexual health—exactly how we like it.

Buckle up and back into your spot—this episode of the Shameless Care Podcast takes you on a ride through the surprisingly sexy history of America’s drive-in movie theaters.

We trace the arc from its invention in the 1930s, to the teenage make-out capitals of the 1950s and 60s, to the wild 1970...

Does ejaculation actually increase your risk of spreading—or catching—an STI? This week, we dig into the science of fluids, friction, and infection. In this episode of the Shameless Care Podcast, Robert and Anna explore how ejaculation affects the transmission of common STIs across oral, vaginal, and anal sex. We look at HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, HPV, and more—and ask: does finishing inside someone really change the risk? And what if there’s no ejaculation at all? ⸻ 🔥 Segments inc...

DoxyPEP is one of the most powerful STI prevention tools we’ve ever had—if you actually take it. In 2023, a high-profile study out of Kenya made headlines: Doxycycline PEP didn’t work for cisgender women. News outlets ran with the soundbite, and suddenly the internet decided: “DoxyPEP doesn’t work for women.” But what if we told you… that wasn’t the whole truth? In this episode, Robert and Anna take a deep dive into the original study and explain why the results were wildly misinterpreted. ...
