Sex ex for Gen X: Podcast edition
June 11, 2023 11:22 PM Subscribe
My wife and I - both cis-het Gen X - would appreciate recs for podcasts about sex.
We’re pretty vanilla at the moment and aren’t about to serve too wildly.
The only one we’ve listened to is Sex with Emily. There’s good stuff there, but episode titles like “Bondage, Threesomes, and Golden Showers” are non-starters for us.
Basically: what podcasts are out there for middle-50% couples like us?

My favourite is Dan Savage, but if you’re not comfortable with hearing talk about threesomes & golden showers then take my recommendation with a pinch of salt.

Foreplay Radio - couples and sex therapy. "A couples and sex therapy podcast with experts having the real conversations about love and sex. . . that you’ve always wanted to have." The pocasters are both therapist - one is sex therapist, the other is a couples therapist. Both have serious credentials in their own areas. They tend to address sexual and emotional topics that impact the sexual connection between partners.

Best answer: What's your goal? Is it to get you in the mood to have more sex of the same type you've already been having, maybe more often? Is it to think about new sexual activities you could engage in, but there are limits to what you're interested in hearing about? Is it that your sex life is currently unsatisfying, and you want to improve it, but without engaging in sexual activities that aren't currently part of your repertoire? I think it matters what your goal is.
(I'll also say, while I'm pretty sure golden showers are a relatively uncommon fetish, a little bit of bondage is among the most common very light kinks, so I'd be surprised if you could find a source that talks about any kind of "spice up your love life" topics that won't at least occasionally suggest maybe some furry handcuffs or a blindfold or something of that nature. It sounds from the description of that episode like it's less about how to do those specific fetishes, and more about how to talk with your partner about something you're interested in trying, but you're not sure if they'd be into it or would judge you for suggesting it.)
