  • Marriage & Relationship Must

    A great podcast to include in your rotation. Jenni and Daniel bring a unique perspective to the table as a married couple — and I love it when they see issues differently.

    The podcast offers a rare blend of psychological insight and honest conversation about sexuality in a way that feels both grounded and deeply human. The discussions are thoughtful without being overly clinical, and they open up space for reflection rather than judgment. It’s the kind of podcast that stays with you long afte... more

    I love this podcast! I love how Dr. Jenni and Daniel talk about sex and intimacy in such an accessible way. They are very knowledgeable and great at normalizing sometimes uncomfortable concepts. They explain the why behind the issues so well. I also love how they bring in different viewpoints and admire the way they can respect each other’s different opinions without conflict. They really model great communication both between partners and about the topics themselves. This show has really help... more

  • The best!

    Modern Pleasure was great and helpful but SatP takes the show to another level. It’s real, practical, accessible, and interesting each week. We look forward to every episode because we learn something new. Their expertise is apparent but they are both so relatable. We love how you directly engage w listeners who have questions or challenges—that’s what sets this show apart from the dozens of other intimacy and therapy podcasts. Keep up the amazing and important work!

  • Gaining sexoertise.

    Dr. Jenni Skyler brings warmth, expertise, and a refreshing openness to conversations that many couples are eager to have but don’t always know where to start. What sets Dr. Skyler apart is her ability to normalize conversations around sex and intimacy while offering clear, practical tools that couples can put into practice right away. Each episode feels like sitting down with a trusted guide who genuinely wants couples to thrive in both the bedroom and their relationship as a whole.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S4E29: You Asked, We Answered: Small Penis, Casual Sex & Why Rejection Cuts So Deep
Q: Is the biological response in men different so that they can have casual sex or is it just a cultural expectation override?
Both biology and culture shape casual sex. Biologically, there are pressures related to reproduction, but individual attachment style and relational context play critical roles. Culturally, societal messages glorify casual sex, but attachment patterns (anxious, avoidant, ambivalent) influence whether casual encounters become emotionally connected or avoided.
S4E29: You Asked, We Answered: Small Penis, Casual Sex & Why Rejection Cuts So Deep
Q: What advice do you have for someone with a small penis and the partner of someone with a small penis?
The answer emphasizes that the issue isn't just size; ongoing communication, building confidence in one's body, exploring other sources of pleasure, and recognizing that for many couples the size isn't the decisive factor. If relationship dynamics allow, the small penis may become irrelevant, and partners can focus on trust, communication, and alternative ways to achieve intimacy.
S4E27: Claire Rumore - From Diagnosis To Desire: Cancer Intimacy and the Road Back To Yourself
Q: What is your three-part framework for clients and survivors?
The framework begins with erotic grief, then libido listening to attune to needs, and finally libido liberation, shifting from escalation to a patient, process-oriented approach to intimacy.
S4E27: Claire Rumore - From Diagnosis To Desire: Cancer Intimacy and the Road Back To Yourself
Q: How did cancer change your sexuality and relationship to desire?
She describes a period where conventional sexuality dropped due to weight loss and treatment, followed by a return of desire as she regained weight and hormonal balance, leading to a redefined, slower, more mindful sexuality termed subtle sexuality.
S4E27: Claire Rumore - From Diagnosis To Desire: Cancer Intimacy and the Road Back To Yourself
Q: Can you tell us what an erotic educator means?
Claire explains that an erotic educator blends sex education with intimacy coaching, focusing on expanding definitions of eros, intimacy, and sexuality, and incorporating the erotic blueprints framework.
