Sex is Good Podcast

Halloween might just be the sexiest holiday of the year. But why?

Is it the costumes? The anonymity? The opportunity to dress a little sluttier than usual? Or is there something happening in our brains that makes Halloween the perfect excuse to let loose?

In this episode of Sex Is Good, we explore the surprisingly sexual history of Halloween, the psychology behind sexy costumes, and the science of why disguises, excitement, fear, and fantasy can influence sexual attraction and behavior.

We’ll also talk about Halloween hookups, sexy party games, and why people who would never dream of wearing something revealing in July suddenly feel comfortable showing plenty of skin in October.

And before we get into the Halloween fun, we’re tackling a serious sexual health question: Why is Gilead promoting a new HIV prevention injection to women that carries a list price of approximately $29,000 per year? We’ll discuss PrEP, the actual risk of HIV transmission through heterosexual sex, and whether expensive new medications are always the best public health solution when inexpensive alternatives already exist.

From ancient traditions to modern neuroscience, we’re exploring what makes Halloween so wonderfully naughty, while taking a critical look at one of the biggest developments in HIV prevention.

Because Halloween isn’t just about pretending to be someone else. Sometimes it’s about giving yourself permission to be exactly who you want to be.

Sex can be fun, fascinating, and sometimes downright disgusting.

In this episode of Sex Is Good, Robert and Anna explore seven wild sexual health facts that might surprise you.

From bizarre biology to surprising sexual health risks, we’re diving into the science behind things you probably never thought to ask about.

It’s funny, educational, occasionally gross, and definitely not boring.

Sex is good. Knowing more about it is even better.

Why do we get horny?

It sounds like a simple question, but sexual desire is a lot more complicated than just hormones. In this episode, we break down what actually happens in your brain and body when you get turned on, including the roles of testosterone, dopamine, stress, sleep, attraction, fantasy, novelty, anticipation, and feeling desired.

We also talk about why the same person can drive you crazy one day and do absolutely nothing for you the next, why your body can be aroused when your brain isn’t, and why wanting sex and physically responding to sex are not always the same thing.

Basically, horniness is not one chemical, one hormone, or one switch.

It’s your brain deciding that sex sounds rewarding right now.

Are you worried about your body, your penis, your breasts, how long you last, whether your partner orgasmed, or whether you’re actually “good” at sex?

There’s a good chance you’re judging yourself much more harshly than your partner is.

In this episode, Robert and Anna dig into the research behind some of the most common sexual insecurities and compare what people worry about with what their partners actually report caring about.

We talk about body image, breast size and shape, penis size, genital appearance, how long sex “should” last, orgasm, sexual performance, desire, and even pubic hair.

The research paints a surprisingly reassuring picture: our insecurities often cause us to imagine criticism that may not actually exist.

Your insecurity is not evidence.

And the person you imagine holding the scorecard during sex may actually be having a fantastic time.

This week, we’re getting tied up.

We’re joined by the rope-play experts from The Duchy to talk bondage, rope, trust, technique, and why getting tied up can be so damn fun.

Whether you’ve been playing with rope for years or you’ve never tied anything more complicated than your shoes, this episode is a fun, judgment-free introduction to the world of rope play.

We talk about what makes rope sexy, common beginner mistakes, communication and consent, safety, and how to start exploring without having any idea what the hell you’re doing.

Who gets bored with monogamous sex first—men or women?

Most people think they know the answer. But sexual boredom, desire for novelty, and long-term attraction don’t always work the way we assume.

In this episode, we dig into what the research says about men, women, monogamy, sexual boredom, and what people actually do when the excitement starts to fade. Does it lead to less sex? Fantasies? Cheating? Swinging? Opening the relationship? Or something much less dramatic?

And more importantly: what keeps sex interesting when you’ve been with the same person for years?

Can you actually train yourself to want sex more?

In this episode of Sex Is Good, we dig into published research on ways people may be able to increase sexual desire, arousal, and interest without medication.

We look at studies involving things like scheduled sexual activity, masturbation, vibrator use, erotic material, and other behavioral approaches researchers have actually tested.

The question is simple:

Can doing sexual things more often make you want sexual things more often?

We break down what the science says, what seems promising, what is probably overhyped, and how desire can sometimes behave less like a fixed trait and more like something that can be influenced by habits, attention, stimulation, and experience.

No miracle supplements. No fake “libido hacks.” Just the research.

What does science actually say about fellatio?

In this episode, we dig into the research behind oral sex, including who does it, how often people do it, what people actually enjoy, and some of the surprising things researchers have studied about giving and receiving oral sex.

We also talk about the difference between what people say they want, what they actually do, and how much of our sexual behavior is shaped by culture, relationships, and expectations.

As always, this is a candid, judgment-free conversation about sex, relationships, and the science behind both.

Sex education has always been a little awkward. But some of these vintage sex education videos are on an entirely different level.

In this episode, Robert and Anna watch and react to old-school sex ed videos that were actually shown to people decades ago.

Outdated advice. Bizarre warnings. Uncomfortable acting. And some moments that left us wondering, “Who thought this was a good idea?”

Some of it is unhinged. Some of it is surprisingly reasonable. And some of it has aged VERY badly.

Does semen actually affect mood? Do women care how much a man ejaculates? Where do men prefer to finish, and where do women actually want them to? Can you increase semen volume? Does pineapple really change the taste? And what actually improves semen health and fertility?

In this episode of Sex Is Good, Robert and Anna take on six surprisingly common questions about semen and separate the science from the myths.

We look at the controversial “semen improves mood” theory, the mismatch between male and female preferences around ejaculation, what really affects volume and taste, and the lifestyle changes that can measurably improve sperm health and fertility.

Dr. David Ley is a clinical psychologist, sex therapist, and the author of Insatiable Wives, one of the most well-known books ever written about the hotwife lifestyle and female sexual desire.

In this episode, we discuss why some women have stronger sexual desire than their partners, the psychology behind hotwifing, jealousy, open relationships, and the myths that surround nontraditional relationships. We also explore how research has changed our understanding of female sexuality and what couples should know before considering ethical non-monogamy.

Whether you’re simply curious or actively exploring these topics, this conversation is thoughtful, evidence-based, and surprisingly nuanced.

Guest: Dr. David Ley, clinical psychologist and author of Insatiable Wives.

Naughty in N'Awlins is the world’s largest swinger event, recently featured in the New York Post. This is our third year attending, and we’re pulling back the curtain on everything you actually want to know.

How much sex really happens? Are the people attractive? Are they welcoming? Is it fun if you’re monogamous? Does it make for a great vacation? What about STIs, consent, and safety?

No hype. No judgment. Just an honest look at the pros, the cons, and everything in between.

Does a person’s “body count” actually matter?

In this episode, we discuss one of the most controversial topics in dating and relationships. Does having more sexual partners predict divorce? Does it affect long-term relationship satisfaction? Should it matter at all?

We also explore whether a higher number of partners changes your risk of sexually transmitted infections and what the research actually says.

Along the way, we discuss morality, sexual compatibility, honesty, and why these conversations so often become emotional instead of evidence-based.

Whether you think body count is important or completely irrelevant, this episode aims to separate the science from the opinion.

Doctors are human. And like all humans, they have biases.

That does not mean most doctors are bad at their jobs. It means medicine is practiced by human beings, and human beings are influenced by assumptions, past experiences, social norms, and personal beliefs.

In sexual health, that matters more than many people realize.

Bias can affect which questions get asked, which tests get ordered, which symptoms get taken seriously, and even what treatment options are offered. It can shape how doctors think about age, gender, sexual behavior, relationship status, and risk.

DoxyPEP
ED Meds
PreP
STI testing
HPV Vaccine over 45

Bias plays into each of those health care decisions.

In this episode, we discuss how bias shows up in real clinical settings, why it happens, and how it can directly impact patient care. We also talk about ways patients can advocate for themselves and ask better questions.

This is not an attack on doctors. It is a conversation about human nature, medicine, and why awareness matters.

In this episode, Robert and Anna break down five research-backed facts about cunnilingus that might genuinely change how you think about pleasure, communication, and sexual satisfaction.

Some of what we found was surprising. Some confirmed what many people already suspect. And some explains why so many people overcomplicate something that often comes down to attention, communication, and enthusiasm.

No fluff. No fake sex tips. Just science.

What is cuckolding? What is consensual non consent (CNC)? Why do some people enjoy pony play? And what does science actually say about these controversial sexual interests?

In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert Johnson and Anna explore three of the most misunderstood kinks in modern sexuality: cuckolding, consensual non consent, and pony play.

Rather than focusing on shock value, they examine the psychology, neuroscience, relationship dynamics, and sexual health research behind each kink. Why do some people find these experiences arousing? Are they signs of underlying psychological issues? How common are they? And what do researchers know about the people who enjoy them?

Topics discussed include:

• What cuckolding is and why some couples enjoy it
• The psychology of consensual non consent (CNC)
• Why fantasy and reality are often very different things
• Pony play, role play, and identity exploration
• Sexual novelty, arousal, and the human brain
• What the scientific literature says about kink and mental health
• Common myths about BDSM and alternative sexual interests

Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or actively involved in the kink community, this episode takes a science based look at three sexual interests that are often misunderstood.
