    Thanks for getting Turned On With Sue And John… It’s sex ed for grown ups!
Every week we talk about the number one thing that everybody wants to talk about… Which is also the number one thing people feel uncomfortable talking about.  SEX! This week’s conversation centres around desire.  From desire at a swinger’s club to why 1 in 20 women want to hire an escort.  Plus we look at what’s involved for any man wanting to pursue that line of work. Plus - what IS desire? And, what specific things can you do when it fades?  Sue has some solutions for you! Bonus conversations this week include getting you caught up on some of the weird things about sex that popped up this week that you should know about, and we discuss your astrological symbol, and what it says about your kinks!  Chyrpe, a female-led dating app, analyzed data from nearly one million verified users to see whether zodiac signs aligned with specific sexual interests.  We open the Turned On mail bag for listener letters and we have a voice mail from one listener who doesn’t think John should abandon Fetlife, which he has talked about doing.  In fact, Sue suggested that we start our own Fetlife page, which we have!  You can now friend us there at https://fetlife.com/TurnedOnPodcast And… John is off to visit Toronto’s famous M4 swinger’s club this weekend.  We’ll have a review on next week’s show! We’re online at www.turnedonpodcast.com where you’ll find past episodes, our voice notes feature, our Youtube channel and more!

    Sex And What You Secretly Want

    As the Spice Girls said... Tell me what you want, what you really, really want. And that holds true in sex as well! Today we discuss why being subtle will lead to disappointment. Sex With Sue's, Sue McGarvie will explain why you need to be clear with your lover about your desires. John weighs in with the story of how many radio stations he's worked at painted a very different picture of what they believed the audience wanted, and what those who talked to the listener every day KNEW they really liked and wanted. The point being - if you don't express what you desire, you'll often be presented with things that don't satisfy you. We'll also discuss masculinity meltdowns and viral sex confessions. In fact, we received a voice note from a listener who has a kinky for shiny things and is looking for a partner who will embrace it! We offer some tips on the best places to find that kinky person. We also have an open conversation about why men should always be ok with having their butts played with! In this week's So You're A Swinger segment - getting caught in the act while on a cruise. The do's and don'ts on swinger cruises and on mainstream cruises. Sue will give you a preview of some of the sex tech she wants to discuss in the new year, and there are already some fantastic examples of incredible gadgets that help us get off and explore sex in ways we never could before! Sex In The News is back including the story of a German man whose gingerbread house, glory hole included, became the talk of the town! And we address sex and power. Why a lot of the visuals surrounding Christmas actually speak to our kinky selves!
