Sex is Good Podcast

Halloween might just be the sexiest holiday of the year. But why?

Is it the costumes? The anonymity? The opportunity to dress a little sluttier than usual? Or is there something happening in our brains that makes Halloween the perfect excuse to let loose?

In this episode of Sex Is Good, we explore the surprisingly sexual history of Halloween, the psychology behind sexy costumes, and the science of why disguises, excitement, fear, and fantasy can influence sexual attraction and behavior.

We’ll also talk about Halloween hookups, sexy party games, and why people wh...

Why do we get horny?

It sounds like a simple question, but sexual desire is a lot more complicated than just hormones. In this episode, we break down what actually happens in your brain and body when you get turned on, including the roles of testosterone, dopamine, stress, sleep, attraction, fantasy, novelty, anticipation, and feeling desired.

We also talk about why the same person can drive you crazy one...

Are you worried about your body, your penis, your breasts, how long you last, whether your partner orgasmed, or whether you’re actually “good” at sex?

There’s a good chance you’re judging yourself much more harshly than your partner is.

In this episode, Robert and Anna dig into the research behind some of the most common sexual insecurities and compare what people worry about with what their partners actually report caring abo...

Who gets bored with monogamous sex first—men or women?

Most people think they know the answer. But sexual boredom, desire for novelty, and long-term attraction don’t always work the way we assume.

In this episode, we dig into what the research says about men, women, monogamy, sexual boredom, and what people actually do when the excitement starts to fade. Does it lead to less sex? Fant...

Can you actually train yourself to want sex more?

In this episode of Sex Is Good, we dig into published research on ways people may be able to increase sexual desire, arousal, and interest without medication.

We look at studies involving things like scheduled sexual activity, masturbation, vibrator use, erotic material, and other behavioral approaches researchers have actually tested.

The question...

What does science actually say about fellatio?

In this episode, we dig into the research behind oral sex, including who does it, how often people do it, what people actually enjoy, and some of the surprising things researchers have studied about giving and receiving oral sex.

We also talk about the difference between what people say they want, what they actually do, and how much of our sexual behavior is shaped by culture, relationships, and expectations.

As always, this is a candid, judgment-free conversation about sex, relationships, and the science behind both.

Dr. David Ley is a clinical psychologist, sex therapist, and the author of Insatiable Wives, one of the most well-known books ever written about the hotwife lifestyle and female sexual desire.

In this episode, we discuss why some women have stronger sexual desire than their partners, the psychology behind hotwifing, jealousy, open relationships, and the myths that surround nontraditional relationships. We also explore how research has changed our understanding of female sexuality and what couples should know before considering ethical non-monogamy.

Naughty in N'Awlins is the world’s largest swinger event, recently featured in the New York Post. This is our third year attending, and we’re pulling back the curtain on everything you actually want to know.

How much sex really happens? Are the people attractive? Are they welcoming? Is it fun if you’re monogamous? Does it make for a great vacation? What about STIs, consent, and safety?

No hype. No judgment. Just an honest look at the pros, the cons, and everything in between.

Does a person’s “body count” actually matter?

In this episode, we discuss one of the most controversial topics in dating and relationships. Does having more sexual partners predict divorce? Does it affect long-term relationship satisfaction? Should it matter at all?

We also explore whether a higher number of partners changes your risk of sexually transmitted infections and what the research actually says.

Along the way, we discuss morality, sexual compatibility, honesty, and why these conversations so often become emotional instead of evidence-based.

Whether you think body count is important or comple...

Doctors are human. And like all humans, they have biases.

That does not mean most doctors are bad at their jobs. It means medicine is practiced by human beings, and human beings are influenced by assumptions, past experiences, social norms, and personal beliefs.

In sexual health, that matters more than many people realize.

Bias can affect which questions get asked, which tests get ordered, which symptoms get taken ser...

Some of what we found was surprising. Some confirmed what many people already suspect. And some explains why so many people overcomplicate something that often comes down to attention, communication, and enthusiasm.

Why do so many people call their partner “Daddy”? Where did the phrase come from, and how did a word that once simply meant “father” become one of the most common terms in modern sex and dating culture?

In this episode, we explore the history of the word Daddy, from its origins as a childhood nickname to its use in literature, LGBTQ+ culture, BDSM, pornography, and mainstream relationships. We look at the psychology, history, and cultural evolution behind one of the most mis...

Pubic lice are a sexually transmitted infection that, strangely enough, predates humans. Millions of years ago, our ancestors were covered in far more body hair, giving lice plenty of territory to live on. But as humans evolved and lost most of that hair, pubic lice got pushed into one of the last dense patches remaining: the pubic region.

Now, some researchers think humans may be shrinking their habitat even further.

Since the rise of Brazilian waxing and aggressive grooming trends, especially after shows like Sex and the City helped popularize them, rates of pubic lice...

Most people assume medications like Viagra and Cialis are “for men.” But women take them too, and the science behind what happens is far more interesting than most people realize.

In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna break down what medications like sildenafil, tadalafil, and apomorphine actually do in women, why researchers became interested in them in the first place, and why the results have been both promising and controversial.

They discuss:
 • Blood flow and female sexual arousal
 • Why “desire” and “arousal” are not the same thing
 • The strange history o...

Herpes is one of the most common human infections on Earth. Hundreds of millions of people carry it. It can cause physical symptoms, emotional distress, stigma, relationship anxiety, and endless confusion online.

So why is there still no vaccine?

In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna break down the strange and frustrating history of herpes vaccine research, why developing one has proven so difficult, and why some scientists believe we may still be much farther away than the public realizes.

Why does STI testing feel like a coin flip on whether you’ll get a surprise bill? In this episode, we untangle the American health insurance system piece by piece — from the eight different coverage categories you might fall into, to the ACA preventive services mandate that makes HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and hepatitis screening legally free on most plans.

But “free” comes with asterisks. We dig into the single most important distinction almost no one talks about: screening versus diagnostic testing. Same test, same lab, different billing code, wildly different price. You’ll learn the two ICD-10...

Most people don’t actually want to be non-monogamous.

What they want is what non-monogamy represents: novelty, attention, validation, and a break from routine.

In this episode, we talk about how to tap into that energy without having sex with other people or blowing up your relationship.

We walk through a handful of ways to “tease” non-monogamy:

For each one, we break down:

What’s actually inside gas station “male enhancement” pills?

In this episode, we bought over-the-counter sexual enhancement pills from a gas station and sent them to a lab for analysis. The results revealed the presence of sildenafil, which is illegal. That's right, hundreds of thousands of gas stations sell illegal drugs every, single day. 

We break down:
• What’s really in gas station sex pills
• How unregulated ED supplements end up containing prescription drugs
• FDA warnings about “male enhancement” products
• The risks of taking undeclared sildenafil and similar compounds
• Why these products are...

ED meds not working? We explain why erectile dysfunction medications like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) sometimes fail. Learn how food, dosing, timing, performance anxiety, and condom use can impact effectiveness. We also cover common mistakes men make with ED medication and what to do when ED treatment doesn’t work. This is a practical guide to understanding and fixing ED medication failure.

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are some of the most talked-about drugs in the world right now. But how do they actually work, and what’s really going on behind the scenes?

In this episode, we break down the science of GLP-1 receptor agonists in plain English, including how they affect appetite, insulin, gastric emptying, and long-term weight loss. We also review clinical trial data, real-world outcomes, and what happens when people stop taking these medications.

Then we go deeper into the part most people aren’t talking about: drug shortages, compounded GLP-1 alte...

Pickup artists are one of the most controversial subcultures in modern dating advice. Some people see them as manipulative. Others believe they uncovered real insights about confidence, attraction, and human psychology.

In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, we break down the pickup artist playbook and ask a simple question: is there anything normal, sex positive people can actually learn from it?

Topics we explore include:

• Confidence and approach anxiety

• Why initiating conversations is so hard for many 

• What pickup artists actually teach about attraction

• The diffe...

Nearly 90% of all medications taken in the United States are generic drugs, and roughly 80% of those are manufactured overseas in countries like China, India, and Turkey.

But it was not always this way.

Before 1984, only about 10% of prescriptions were generic, and most medications were manufactured in the United States.

So what changed?

In this episode, we break down the history of generic drugs, the 1984 Hatch Waxman Act, and how global pharmaceutical manufacturing shifted from American factories to an international supply chain.

Understanding where your medications come from, how generics...

Sex is good. Fear-based sex education is not.

In this episode, we take an honest, evidence-based look at HIV transmission — what your real risk actually is, how it’s measured, and why it’s often dramatically misunderstood.

We break down:

• Per-act HIV transmission rates (vaginal, anal, oral)
• Why receptive anal sex carries higher risk — and what that actually means numerically
• What U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable) truly means
• How viral load changes risk
• How PrEP reduces transmission
• Where DoxyPEP fits — and where it doesn’t
• Why panic often spreads faster than the vi...

The more things change, the more they stay the same — and Valentine’s Day has always been about sex.

Long before heart-shaped chocolates and prix-fixe dinners, Valentine’s Day involved nearly naked young Roman men running through the streets and whipping women with goat skins to promote fertility. And yes — women lined up for it.

In this episode, the Sex Is Good podcast team dives into the sexy, strange, and unapologetically spicy history of Valentine’s Day, separating romantic myth from biological reality and cultural truth.

Erections aren’t always a blood flow problem.

In this episode, we break down apomorphine, an ED medication that works in the brain, not the penis. Unlike sildenafil or tadalafil, apomorphine targets dopamine pathways involved in sexual arousal, motivation, and performance anxiety.

Rugiet has been advertised apomorphine a lot, but is it safe? Is it effective? 

Wasn't it used to induce vomiting? Can it really be used for erectile dysfunction?

We explain how and why apomorphine works, who it’s actually for, how it differs from traditional ED medications, and why combi...

BDSM is one of the most misunderstood areas of human sexuality. For many people, it’s assumed to be dangerous, pathological, or a sign that something is “wrong.” The psychology tells a very different story.

In this episode, we’re joined by certified sex therapist Dr. Stephanie Sigler to unpack what actually happens in the brain during consensual power exchange, why trust and communication are central to BDSM, and how these dynamics can be psychologically healthy for many people.

Bremelanotide, also known as PT-141, is one of the most misunderstood sexual health medications available today, and it has one of the strangest origin stories in modern medicine. It was originally studied as a tanning drug, but researchers noticed an unexpected side effect—spontaneous erections. That discovery led scientists to remove the skin-darkening component, resulting in bremelanotide as we know it today.

In this episode, we explain how PT-141 works on the brain rather than blood flow, why it’s considered an option for psychogenic erectile dysfunction in men, and why the same medication is used to incr...

Hedonism II is a resort in Jamaica that’s split between two worlds: half clothing-optional, half nude-mandatory. It’s a place intentionally designed for adults who want freedom, curiosity, and connection without judgment.

Yes, people can have sex under the moon and stars. But they can also spend the day by the pool, dance all night long, and end up talking to a stranger in a hot tub at 4 a.m. who somehow feels like an old friend. The energy moves easily between playful, intimate, social, and surprisingly normal.

To separate myth from reality, we’re joi...

Addyi was marketed as a breakthrough. But is one additional satisfying sexual experience per month, on average, worth abstaining from alcohol and accepting the risk of meaningful side effects? That question sits at the center of a drug that genuinely helps some people, while confusing and disappointing many others.

In this episode, we break down what Addyi actually is, what the clinical trials showed, why FDA approval was so controversial, and who this medication may or may not make sense for in real world practice. We also explore why treating desire pharmacologically is far more complicated than...
