    Why Do We Kiss? The 21-Million-Year-Old Science of Smooching, with Evolutionary Biologist Dr. Matilda Brindle.

    Have you ever wondered why humans kiss – and when we actually started doing it? In this episode of the podcast, Toshi is joined by evolutionary biologist Dr. Matilda Brindle to explore the evolutionary history of kissing. Dr. Brindle breaks down her Ig Nobel Prize-winning research redefining what a "kiss" actually is, how far back the behaviour goes in our primate family tree, and why species from polar bears to bonobos engage in lip-locking. Together, they dive into fascinating hypotheses about why kissing evolved in the first place – from conflict resolution, to partner choice, to a potential subconscious test for genetic and immune compatibility. Plus, hear what studying saliva-swapping between early humans and Neanderthals tells us about our shared past.

    Thighs Wide Shut: Author Hayley Fleming on Understanding Vaginismus and Why Your Body Isn’t Broken

    A bit about ‘Thighs Wide Shut’: “When Emma hits her quarter-life crisis and moves back to the city where she went to college, she finds herself neighbours with the boy whose heart she broke five years earlier in this heartfelt and witty second-chance debut romcom for fans of Hannah Bonham-Young and Sex Education. Emma thought her late twenties couldn’t get more complicated after she quit her teaching job and moved across the country to figure out what comes next. Her new life in Boston is filled with more than enough to worry about: a basement apartment full of disorganized boxes, a resistance to finding love, a medical condition, vaginismus, that holds her back from putting herself out there, and on top of it all she hears a familiar voice from the apartment above . . . Harrison.” In this episode of the podcast, we were thrilled to be able to chat with author Hayley Fleming about her recent book, ‘Thighs Wide Shut’.

    How to Heal Sexual Shame: A Sex Educator’s Guide to Speaking Your Desires

    In this episode, Toshi sat down with Jocelyn Silva to talk all things sexual shame. Jocelyn grew up in a conservative, Spanish-speaking Catholic home in Los Angeles, California. She attended Catholic school, went to weekly confession, and dreamed of becoming a nun at 16 - her entire world revolved around faith. But that faith also taught her to see her body and desires as sinful, leaving her ashamed and feeling disconnected from herself.  When she was 18 and had sex for the first time, this sent her on a different journey. By 21, Jocelyn was a sex educator. She earned a degree in Gender and Women’s Studies, ran a sexual wellness boutique for 4 years, and later completed her Master’s in Social Work. Over 15 years in this field and now 6 years coaching women, men, and couples, she’s learned that our sexuality is not something to be ashamed of – it’s where our power lives.  Together, Toshi and Jocelyn discussed:   Jocelyn’s journey from wanting to be a nun, to becoming a sex expert How she unlearned sexual shame (and how you can too) Tips for feeling more confident speaking your desires in the bedroom Jocelyn’s #1 sex tip (and it’s not communication) How Jocelyn reconnected with her faith The conversation you need to be having early on in your relationship  Find more of Jocelyn here: https://www.jocelynsilva.com/  Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro   00:46 – How Jocelyn's life plan went from nun, to sex expert  02:42 – Jocelyn's journey unlearning sexual shame  04:34 – The early messages around sex that follow us into adulthood  06:27 – Tips for unlearning sexual shame  11:56 – How to feel more confident expressing your sexual desires as a woman  18:37 – Jocelyn’s #1 sex tip  22:04 – What Jocelyn learned from being a cheater  24:33 – How to sit in discomfort   32:08 – How Jocelyn relearned faith  34:55 – Why you need clarity before a sexual experience   38:22 – The conversation you should have early on in your relationship  41:45 – Where to find more of Jocelyn Silva  -----------------    Check out our books, 'How to talk with your kids about porn' and 'The Organ Education Forgot', available at https://www.sexinspace.com/books to download or buy.    Follow us here:  https://www.instagram.com/sexinspacedotcom  https://www.tiktok.com/@sexinspacedotcom  https://www.facebook.com/sexinspacedotcom  https://www.youtube.com/@sexinspace   For more info, check out our website at:  https://www.sexinspace.com/  Hosted on Acast.
