S04E06 How to get better at talking about sex
Whether it’s with our friends or, more crucially, with our partners, sex IS something we need to be able to communicate about if we want it to be good. But it’s so hard! Why? Because for all the other messages we get around sex, all the things we’re taught or that we glean from our culture or the media… no one tells us how to talk about it.

S04E05 Why don’t I want sex?
Somewhere along the way we’ve been taught that desire should just exist without any conscious effort, like hunger or thirst. And if it doesn’t – uh oh – that means something is wrong. But this idea of sex as a “drive” is actually a myth. And like so many myths, it’s standing in the way of us having good, fulfilling sex lives.

S04E04 When your body doesn't feel sexy
Faulty penises, unruly pubes, and unexplained pain: When our bodies don’t look or work the way they’re “supposed” to, it can feel like a real barrier to good sex. So what can we do about it? Do we push on through anyway? Seek treatment? Or adjust our expectations?

S04E03 Why is it so hard to feel good?
One in eight women and one in twenty men say they lack enjoyment during sex.
For all the conflicting messages we get around sex, most of us know that on some level we’re supposed to enjoy it. But there are a lot of things that can stand in our way.

S04E02 Mixed messages and faulty scripts
Where do we learn about sex? Who do we learn it from? What do those people and establishments actually tell us… about what sex IS and what it’s supposed to mean?
And is it possible… is it possible… that some of what we’re being told might be directly contributing to our experiences of bad sex?
