  • A Safe, Refreshing Space for Conversations About Sex & Desire

    Annette is incredible at creating a space where conversations about sex, pleasure, desire, and our bodies feel safe, approachable, and free of shame. There is such warmth and openness in the way she explores topics that so many people struggle to talk about.

    Her work offers hope to anyone who feels disconnected from their desire or wonders if that part of themselves has been lost. She reminds us that pleasure and desire can be rediscovered—and that there can actually be curiosity, playfulness, ... more

  • Meh

    Show provides dubious takes on sexuality, at best. Host has a voice that is tolerable at standard conversation volume but often speaks quietly in hopes of feigning erotic vibes but falls short, resulting in major ear-ick. Skip it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Female-Led Relationships: Why Men Secretly Want This
Q: What are some steps people can take? First, to bring up the conversation with their partner, especially, let's say, if it's a woman who's going to bring this up to her dude, and then maybe some quick tips on a quick start package, if you will, to giving it a shot.
Balestrieri suggests learning about the dynamic, raising the topic as a shared curiosity, and identifying which areas of gender and power the couple wants to change. She recommends starting small, agreeing on a decision to hand over, checking in regularly, and practicing aftercare and debriefing if BDSM is involved.
Female-Led Relationships: Why Men Secretly Want This
Q: And what is the definition of it?
Balestrieri defines a female-led relationship as one in which the female partner holds more power, authority, and decision-making responsibility than the male partner, potentially in all or only some areas of the relationship.
9 Sex Myths About Women That Are Wrecking Your Sex Life
Q: Can we talk about the myths that fuel that experience for women?
Sinjanovic connects the difficulty of receiving pleasure to myths that sex should hurt, that penetrative sex is the definition of sex, and that women should not ask for pleasure. She recommends treating sex as something that should be fun, communicating, and checking in.
9 Sex Myths About Women That Are Wrecking Your Sex Life
Q: Why did you decide to cover the myths about women's sexuality?
Sinjanovic wanted to challenge beliefs that women desire sex less and that men are naturally driven to take sex, because she believes those ideas normalize violence and reduce female agency.
How to Fix a Dead Bedroom: A 31-Day Plan to Reignite Desire
Q: How do you begin reintroducing sex and fun after a dry spell?
Sinclair recommends a yes/no/maybe list completed together or individually, followed by a curious conversation that helps partners identify shared interests and comfort zones.
