    Why Talking About Sex Is So Hard (And What It’s Costing Your Relationship).

    Why is talking about sex so hard, even in long-term relationships? In this episode, I break down why so many people struggle to talk about sex, what’s really underneath the silence, and how avoiding these conversations quietly erodes intimacy over time. Because it’s not just about sex. It’s about vulnerability, rejection, shame, power, and everything we were never taught how, or allowed to say out loud. I’ll walk you through: Why talking about sex feels uncomfortable (even with someone you love) and reframing this.The hidden fears that stop couples from speaking honestly and how to work through the fear.How sexual communication impacts desire, connection, and satisfaction.Why shrinking will most likely not help you want sex.Questions to ask yourself that help you understand your sexual self and identity.If you’ve ever thought, "this shouldn’t be so hard to talk about", you’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not stuck. This episode will help challenge the fears, assist you to understand what’s really going on, and give you further deep questions to explore in your own time. ————— Host: Lauren Muratore Get FREE Sex & Relationship advice sent to your inbox.

    From Sex Work to Sex Therapy: The Making of an Expert.

    I didn’t learn about sex in a textbook. I learned it in the real world. Before becoming an accredited clinical sex therapist, I worked in the sex industry as a private independent sex worker (escort). It shaped everything I know about desire, intimacy, and why sex stops working in relationships. And while most people expect that to be a chapter I’d keep quiet on, it’s actually where I learned some of the most confronting truths about desire, power, and performance. In this episode, I’m not here to shock you. I’m here to show you what most people get wrong about sex. Because what happens in the bedroom isn’t just about technique. It’s about psychology, identity, safety, control, and vulnerability. And after a decade in clinical private practice, I can tell you this; the struggles couples face behind closed doors is not that different from what I witnessed long before I had a clinical framework to explain it. This is the story of how I went from living sex, to studying it, to helping people transform it. And why the truth about intimacy is far more uncomfortable and far more powerful than we’ve been taught.

    Is Porn Really Addictive? The Truth & Science behind Porn Addiction with Silva Neves

    Is porn really addictive? This episode explores the science, psychology, and controversy behind pornography addiction and its impact on sex, relationships, and the brain. Silva Neves is a world-renowned psychosexual therapist from London. We dive into the misconceptions of porn addiction. As Silva explains, frequency of viewing porn provides zero indication if porn is the problem. So why are so many people self diagnosing themselves as porn addicts? Hear what Silva describes a tsunami sex negative messages and the stories that provoke fear and shame. Another common issue we discuss is when one person in a relationship is anti porn and the other person enjoys it, what's next? Solo sex is part of an individuals sex life, how to integrate that into a couple dynamic is the trick, especially because people don't usually discuss their porn values early on in dating. I asked Silva what the science says- and it will surprise you! Science did not find causation but it did find correlation. Listen in to hear how that ties into misogyny. What about porn for education? Silva sheds light on how helpful it could be for the queer community, as sexually is often depicted in the media as heteronormative. The porn debate could still be up in the air for you, this episode will get you thinking about it in a different light.

    Can Hypnotherapy Rewire Trauma? What You Need to Know with Jessie Reynolds

    Living with chronic trauma can keep your nervous system stuck in survival mode; this episode explores how hypnotherapy may help heal trauma, reduce anxiety, and restore emotional safety. Jessie Reynolds shares her personal lived experience, and the effects of CPTSD that lead her to becoming a hypnotherapist who specialises in trauma. She discusses how chronic trauma can make someone feel stuck. That the trauma is programmed into the subconscious and bypasses the conscious mind (critical faculty). Hypnotherapy can get to the subconscious, and help the mind see things from a new perspective.  It can help the nervous system & how we relate to our experiences. Who should seek hypnotherapy? Listen to find out! Jessie so beautifully says people aren’t broken, and that the desire to change has to out weigh the fear of change.
