Surrogate Partner Therapy: Sex, Healing, And Boundaries | Ep. 134

In this episode of Taboo To Truth, I sit down with surrogate partner and intimacy coach Brian Gibney to talk about what happens when touch, sex, and therapy meet. We walk through the origins of surrogate partner therapy, how it supports traditional talk therapy, and why it sits inside the world of sex work while still holding clear ethical boundaries. Brianan explains who seeks out this work, what sessions look like in real life, how attachment and feelings show up, and why sex itself often turns out to be a symptom rather than the real issue. We also talk about non-monogamy, money, how to vet an ethical surrogate partner, and Brian’s very expansive definition of sex.Timestamps:In This Episode:00:00 - What if sex was part of your therapy01:08 - What surrogate partner therapy is and why talk therapy hits a limit03:42 - Masters and Johnson and the birth of surrogate partners06:05 - Sex work, the “whorarchy”, and where surrogates sit in it09:18 - How surrogate partner therapy differs from full service intimacy work11:52 - The therapeutic triad: client, therapist, surrogate13:40 - Who seeks this work: trauma, pain, cancer, disability, shame17:05 - First sessions, nerves, and why the work starts with “hello”19:40 - When clients expect something more and run the “checklist” for access22:15 - Entitlement, hard conversations, and repeating old patterns24:05 - Attachment, feelings, and why the “box” stays small26:10 - Brian’s non monogamy and protecting his own relationships28:30 - Boundaries to this work30:35 - How to vet a legitimate surrogate partner and red flags32:10 - Brian’s expansive definition of sex and why PIV is not the gold standard34:00 - Final thoughtsWant a deeper look?

The New Rules of Posting Your Relationship | Ep. 133

In this episode, I react to  a provocative cultural shift highlighted in Vogue’s viral piece “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?”. Straight women are hiding their partners online. Faces are blurred. Fiancés are cropped out. Entire relationships are reduced to a hand on a steering wheel. The fear is that posting a boyfriend makes a woman look less independent and less culturally relevant. I  compare this to myr own experience as a boomer who grew up with the belief that partnership was an achievement. I explore how this shift affects men, why younger women feel pressure to appear single, and what it says about the evolving politics of heterosexual relationships. The episode asks listeners to rethink why sharing a romantic partner feels risky now and whether avoiding visibility is about independence, superstition, image, or something deeper.Timestamps:00:00 Intro00:22 The purpose of breaking taboos00:45 Why women hesitate to like or share sex content01:15 Introducing the episode and today’s question01:33 The Vogue article and the rise of “boyfriend embarrassment”02:05 How age and upbringing shape views on partnership02:40 The clash between independence and being partnered03:15 How shifting gender roles impact men03:45 Why posting a partner feels risky for some women04:20 The 70 year old who feels odd saying “my boyfriend”04:48 Why Karen sees partnership as joyful, not submissive05:15 The fear of judgment and the pressure to appear independent05:48 Why some women reject men after negative experiences06:20 Karen’s final questions about posting your partner06:45 Closing message and sex positive reminderWant a deeper look?

Menopause Can Ruin Your Sex Life: Why It Hurts And How To Fix It with Dr. Streicher | Ep. 132

Menopause does not wait until you feel “old,” and it does not only live in your hot flashes. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lauren Streicher, one of the leading experts in menopause and sexual medicine, to talk about sexless relationships, painful penetration, and why so many women suffer in silence when solutions exist.We break down what really happens to your hormones, blood flow, muscles, nerves, and brain during perimenopause and postmenopause and how all of that shows up in your sex life. Dr. Streicher explains why painful sex is never something you should push through, why lubricants on their own rarely fix the problem, and why local vaginal estrogen is one of the safest and most misunderstood treatments in midlife.We also talk about access to care. Who helps you when your doctor shrugs, you live outside a big city, you are on Medicare, or you survived cancer and nobody ever mentioned sex in your follow up. Dr. Streicher shares what a real sexual medicine consult looks like, why pelvic floor physical therapy often changes both back pain and bedroom pain, and why there is no expiration date on your vagina, even after years of a dry spell.If you are in a sexless relationship, scared of hormones, or confused about where to start, this episode will give you language, options, and hope, plus a roadmap to Dr. Streicher’s new deep dive audio course, “Come Again,” for women and professionals who want real data, not fear.In This Episode:00:00 – Welcome and show intro.00:32 – Why sexless relationships link to menopause.02:10 – Menopause is not an “old woman’s” issue.04:20 – Sexual problems that start before menopause.06:30 – What a normal sexual response needs.09:25 – How estrogen loss affects sex and desire.12:40 – What happens in a sexual medicine consult.15:20 – Why doctors rarely refer to sexual medicine clinics.18:05 – Telehealth for menopause and its limits.21:30 – Why menopause never fully “ends.”25:05 – Painful sex and the need for accurate diagnosis.29:10 – Vaginal estrogen use, placement, and safety.33:15 – Partners, pain, and the “use it or lose it” myth.36:40 – Pelvic floor pain, SSRIs, and low libido.38:40 – Wrap up and closing message.Want a deeper look?

Sex, Consent & Connection: How Non-Monogamy Really Works | Ep. 122 (Part 2)

In this follow-up to Part 1, I continue my candid conversation with licensed professional counselor and AASECT-certified sex therapist Kelvin Pace, diving even deeper into what consensual non-monogamy really looks like in practice.
