    Bremelanotide (PT-141): The Desire Drug That Works on Your Brain, Not Your Blood Flow

    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 increase sexual arousal in women. We break down what it does, what it doesn’t do, common misconceptions, and how it fits into a more honest conversation about desire, arousal, and sexual health. That’s the short version. The full story is more nuanced, more interesting, and challenges a lot of what people think they know about ED meds and libido. To understand why bremelanotide works so differently—and who it may actually be appropriate for—you’ll have to listen to the episode.

    What Is Hedonism II Resort? Interview With a Couple Who Has Visited Over 70 Times

    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 joined by the hosts of the Casual Swingers podcast, a couple who have been to Hedonism II more than 70 times. They aren’t marketers or first-timers chasing shock value. They’re regular people who keep coming back and have seen just about every version of the resort there is. They explain what “casual” actually means in this context, how consent and boundaries work in real life, what newcomers tend to misunderstand, and why Hedonism II is far less about pressure or performance than outsiders assume. For some guests it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For others, it becomes a place of community, freedom, and familiarity that’s hard to find anywhere else.

    Addyi: What Happens When Medicine Tries to Treat Desire

    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 treating erections, and why comparisons to Viagra have always fallen short. If you have ever wondered why Addyi inspires both hope and skepticism, this episode explains why.

    The Fascinating (Yes, Really!) History of Chlamydia

    www.shamelesscare.com is your go to for all your prescription sexual health needs. Use coupon code podcast for $15 off today. No subscriptions - ever!  Chlamydia has been around far longer than most people realize, long before antibiotics, modern testing, or even a clear understanding of what it was. In this episode, we walk through the surprisingly fascinating history of chlamydia, how it was misunderstood for centuries, how it was finally identified, and why those early blind spots still affect STI testing and diagnosis today. This isn’t a scare tactic and it’s not a moral lecture. It’s a look at how medicine actually evolves, how “common and treatable” doesn’t always mean “harmless,” and why chlamydia continues to be one of the most frequently missed and misunderstood infections in sexual health. If you’ve ever wondered why chlamydia is so common, why so many people have no symptoms, or why testing still fails people in very predictable ways, this episode will connect some dots. Yes, really. It’s fascinating.

    Encore! HPV-16 and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma

    Everyone knows that oral sex can cause cancer, but what kind? And is there a test for it?  Trigger warning: Cancer Robert got a bit emotional at the beginning of this one. Cancer is a scary word.  HPV is one of the most common viruses on earth—and the leading cause of oropharyngeal cancer.  In this episode, we break down the link between HPV-16 and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). We’ll explain how many people carry oral HPV, how many carry HPV-16 specifically, and why there’s no screening test for OPSCC. More importantly, we’ll explain why there’s no screening: not because the system doesn’t care, but because science hasn’t shown it helps. We also tackle the question everyone asks: is there a test? And if not, why not? The short answer: no, there’s no screening test for oral HPV that’s been shown to prevent cancer or save lives. Nor is there a screening test for OPSCC. And it’s not because the healthcare system is asleep at the wheel.  At Shameless Care, our job is simple: we find credible information and share it with you. Nothing in this episode is our personal opinion. Everything we discuss is based on published guidance and data from trusted sources like the National Cancer Institute, Oral Cancer Foundation, ASCCP, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the United States Preventive Services Task Force, the CDC, and others. This is what we mean when we say “evidence-based education” and “evidence-based care.” So if this episode sparks strong feelings, please understand—we didn’t create these positions. We’re simply walking you through what the science currently says.

    She Had Sex in a Car, Got an STI, and Filed an Auto Insurance Claim

    She had sex in a car, got an STI, and filed an auto insurance claim. And unbelievably, it worked. In this episode, we unpack one of the strangest legal cases in recent memory. A woman contracts an STI after having sex in a parked car, files a claim under the driver’s auto insurance policy, and a court agrees that the infection counts as a covered bodily injury.  Yes. Really. We walk through the full backstory. Who the people involved were. Why the claim was filed in the first place. How auto insurance bodily injury coverage works. Why the insurer declined to defend the case. How a default judgment happened. And how a Missouri appeals court initially upheld the verdict before the case was ultimately undone. Along the way, we talk about why proving STI transmission is far more complicated than the lawsuit suggests, why the science matters, and why this case has absolutely nothing to do with personal responsibility or morality and everything to do with contract law, bad legal strategy, and procedural mistakes. This is not an episode about whether someone deserved money. It is about how bizarre outcomes happen when biology, insurance language, and the legal system collide. If you have ever wondered how far insurance coverage can be stretched, this episode answers that question in the most unhinged way possible.

    You are not the man your grandfather was - the shocking decline of sperm and testosterone

    You are not the man your grandfather was. And that is not an insult. It is data. Over the past several decades, sperm counts have fallen dramatically and average testosterone levels in men have declined across generations. This episode looks at what the research actually shows, what is still debated, and what is often exaggerated or misunderstood online. This is not an episode about shaming modern masculinity. It is about understanding how bodies respond to modern life, why the data matters, and how to think clearly about male reproductive health without fear, politics, or pseudoscience.

    Vaginal lubrication. You love it. You want it. But do you actually understand it?

    Vaginal lubrication. You love it. You want it. But do you actually understand it? In this episode, we break down what getting wet really means and why it is one of the most misunderstood parts of sex. We talk about how lubrication actually works, what arousal does and does not control, and why dryness is not a failure, a flaw, or a lack of desire. We cover natural lubrication, hormone driven changes, medications, stress, menopause, postpartum bodies, and why relying on wetness as proof of attraction is bad science and bad sex education.  If you have ever wondered why commercial companies haven't yet replicated human lubrication, or why your body did not behave the way you expected, felt pressure to perform wetness, or assumed lubrication should be automatic, this episode is for you.
