    Why Don't I Feel Horny? How to get your sex drive back - Libido, Arousal, Hormones & Relationships

    Why don't I feel horny anymore? And is there actually anything you can do to get your sex drive back? In this episode of Come Curious, Florence and Reed dive into the surprisingly complicated world of libido, low sex drive and sexual desire - and why feeling less horny doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with you. From hormones and medication to stress, relationships, parenthood and mental health, we unpack the many reasons your libido can change throughout your life. We get into: - Why around 1 in 4 couples experience mismatched libidos - How antidepressants, hormonal birth control and other medications can affect desire - How stress, exhaustion, mental load, body image and emotional safety can put the brakes on sex - Why pregnancy, breastfeeding and parenthood can dramatically change your sex drive - How trauma, shame, upbringing and neurodivergence can influence desire - Why asexuality isn't the same thing as having no interest in pleasure or masturbation - Why you don't always have to wait until you're spontaneously horny to start exploring desire And we finish with our four-step toolkit for getting your sex drive back: from identifying what's actually killing your libido to rebuilding your erotic world and making sex easier to want.

    The Future of Sex - would you 'do' a robot? | AI Seggs, AI Companions & The Future of Intimacy

    Our question this week is - Would you have seggs with a robot? As loneliness rises and AI becomes increasingly woven into our relationships, Florence and Reed ask a very important question: what happens when technology can give us pleasure, companionship and even something that feels a little like intimacy? In this episode, we explore the future of sex, from AI companions and sex robots to the loneliness epidemic and whether technology could make pleasure more accessible or make real human connection even harder. We get into: - Seggs dolls vs seggs robots and what AI actually changes - AI companions, loneliness and the future of intimacy - Can technology provide pleasure without replacing human connection? - Why Gen Z and millennials are turning to synthetic intimacy - The benefits and potential pitfalls of AI seggs tech - We try out SensOn, an AI-powered interactive pleasure experience where stories, characters and physical sensations respond in real time - Plus we reveal whether we'd actually consider having seggs with a robot...

    How To Make Rejection Your B*tch - Dating Rejection, ADHD Rejection Sensitivity, Boundaries & Self-Worth

    Rejection f****g hurts. So how do we get better at handling it without taking it as a verdict on our worth? In this episode of Come Curious, Florence and Reed get into the messy reality of rejection across dating, relationships, friendships and work. They explore why rejection can feel so painful, how the way we're rejected can make a huge difference, and why learning to say (and hear) “no” is such an important life skill. We get into: Why rejection activates the same brain regions as physical pain Dating rejection, friendship breakups and workplace rejection ADHD, neurodivergency and rejection sensitivity How to reject someone without making them feel worthless Why people-pleasing and fawning can make rejection harder Navigating rejection inside long-term relationships What kink can teach us about boundaries and respecting “no” The three-step rejection toolkit for having difficult conversations Plus, Florence and Reed share their own experiences of rejection and challenge us to stop treating someone else's “no” as a judgement on who we are. Because rejection isn't proof that you're unlovable. Sometimes it's just information. So let's make rejection our b*tch.

    Everything We Know About Dating: Best vs Worst Dates - dating apps, ghosting, and catfishing

    In the first episode of our new dating series, Reed and Florence dive into the realities of modern dating - from dating apps and ghosting to catfishing, first-date disasters and the best dates they've ever been on. With Reed navigating single, polyamorous life and Florence adjusting to life as a new mum, they bring very different perspectives to the dating game. We get into: Dating apps & catfishing - do profiles actually match the people you meet? Ghosting & rejection - why are so many people disappearing instead of communicating? Dating statistics - who's actually initiating dates, and are apps changing how we meet? The worst dates - broken furniture, injuries, bizarre behaviour and some truly chaotic encounters The best dates - including extravagant Mayfair dates and what actually makes a date memorable Dating etiquette - how to communicate when you're interested… and when you're definitely not Plus, Reed and Florence read your best and worst dating stories, discuss LGBTQ+ dating and dating apps, and ask what we're really looking for when we go on a first date. This is the beginning of a whole new Come Curious series about dating, sex, relationships, apps, rejection and everything that happens in between.

    What happens when you stop treating your body hair as something that needs fixing and start seeing it as part of what makes you attractive?

    How to Make Friends and Break Friendships - Loneliness, Toxic Friendships & Friends With Benefits

    Making Friends After 30? Trying to end a toxic friendship? Dealing with Adult Loneliness? This is the episode for you! In this episode of Come Curious, we get into the messy reality of adult friendship: how to make new friends, how to know when a friendship has run its course, and why ending a platonic relationship can hurt just as much as a romantic breakup. We talk about the loneliness epidemic, introversion and different social capacities, as well as the difference between a friendship naturally fizzling out and deliberately choosing to walk away. They also share their own experiences of friendship breakups — including the dramatic ones — and discuss why honest communication can sometimes be kinder than quietly disappearing. Our audience gets involved too, sharing how Curious Fckers made new friends through Bumble BFF, Instagram, burlesque, bouldering, dance classes, hobbies, local groups and niche communities. Plus, the episode touches on current LGBTQI+ and political news before getting back to the really important stuff: how the hell do you actually make friends when you're an adult? Expect conversations about loneliness, friendship breakups, social anxiety, finding your community, making friends online and IRL, and knowing when it's time to let a friendship go.
