  • Hot & Thoughtful

    The stories are hot for sure! But what drew me in is the thoughtful and tender and honest way Judson and Brian gently dismantle shame about sex. Every week I learn something new, either about others, my marriage, or myself. I’m 55 and feel like I’m just entering my sexual prime-not because I’m a physical stud. lol. But because I finally accept my dad bod and realize we can all be hot!Appreciate you guys so much! Thank you.

  • A Weekly Treat

    I'm a relatively new listener, but I quickly developed a habit of eagerly anticipating your incredible show every week.

    My husband and I have been together for 24 years and have a couple of teenage kids. We've faced all the typical challenges of raising kids and maintaining a long-term relationship. However, we've invested a lot of effort and fought for our relationship over the years, and he remains my best friend and soulmate to this day. We still have a lot of fun together.

    I appreciate you... more

  • Jan 27th - Best episode thus far!

    You both lighten up every Tuesday — been listening for well over a year. But this last episode — wow! From a daytime hotel hookup step by step instruction manual to compassionate insight on the closeted pro athlete — I relished every minute. You’ve given me lots of great motivation to set up a fab cocktail hour and then to “relish” my hubby. Thanks. Simply thanks.
