  • S04E06 How to get better at talking about sex

    52:51|
    Whether it’s with our friends or, more crucially, with our partners, sex IS something we need to be able to communicate about if we want it to be good. But it’s so hard! Why? Because for all the other messages we get around sex, all the things we’re taught or that we glean from our culture or the media… no one tells us how to talk about it.The Second Circle is produced, written, hosted by Franki CookneyAudio production: Anouszka Tate Title track: Roof - Big Spoon (Instrumental Version)Background music: _91Nova - Moiety / From Now On - Small Circuits / Lasae Lyx - Suffering In Paradise / Blaeker - Stay Up All NightAll music courtesy of www.epidemicsound.comTranscript: https://bit.ly/badsexE06Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/frankicookney) Support the Show.
  • 5. S04E05 Why don’t I want sex?

    01:02:13||Season 4, Ep. 5
    Somewhere along the way we’ve been taught that desire should just exist without any conscious effort, like hunger or thirst. And if it doesn’t – uh oh – that means something is wrong. But this idea of sex as a “drive” is actually a myth. And like so many myths, it’s standing in the way of us having good, fulfilling sex lives. The Second Circle is produced, written, hosted by Franki CookneyAudio production: Anouszka Tate Title track: Roof - Big Spoon (Instrumental Version)Background music: From Now On - Small Circuits / Beautiful Minds - Brighter Than Tomorrow / Maybe - The Universe is a Bitch All music courtesy of www.epidemicsound.comTranscript: https://bit.ly/badsexE05Support the Show.

    Faulty penises, unruly pubes, and unexplained pain: When our bodies don’t look or work the way they’re “supposed” to, it can feel like a real barrier to good sex. So what can we do about it?

    43:43||Season 4, Ep. 2
    Where do we learn about sex?  Who do we learn it from? What do those people and establishments actually tell us… about what sex IS and what it’s supposed to mean?

  • 1. S04E01 Aren't we all sex positive now?

    45:04||Season 4, Ep. 1
    While plenty of us still grow up in families and communities where sex is taboo or there are strict rules around it, on a broader societal level here in Western Europe it’s fair to say sex is no longer seen as sinful. Sex is good, it’s healthy, it’s normal, it’s empowering!We’re living in this lovely, glossy, horny world where we’re told that good sex is not just our aim, goddammit, it’s our right… so what gives?The Second Circle is produced, written, hosted by Franki CookneyAudio production: Anouszka TateTitle track: Roof - Big Spoon (Instrumental Version)Background music:  _91Nova - Shell Games / Blaeker - Stay Up All Night /  _91Nova - MoietyAll music courtesy of www.epidemicsound.comTranscript: https://bit.ly/badsexE01Support the Show.
