Grace Alice : Sex talk

Topics covered : vaginismus, shame, libido, faking orgasm, sexual compatibility, body image, acceptance, masturbation, sexual confidence, sex toys, anal sex, role play, freedom, pleasure.

This week, I’m joined by sex educator, author and podcaster, the brilliant Grace Alice O’Shea.

She lives in Limerick with her boyfriend Ivan and their two dogs, and in this episode she answers your questions (I put up a question box on Instagram)— on everything from libido, gaining sexual confidence, sex toys, role play, and so much more.

But before we got into all of that, she began by sharing her own story and her past struggles with vaginismus.

There is so much in this episode and as always with the topic of sex we easily could have talked for another hour.

The first 20 minutes - her own story and we discuss THAT Kylie tweet of mine from 14 years ago.

Don't worry if you know nothing about it, I explain it. Wild!

Grace answering questions from 20 mins onwards -

We spent a long time on libido.

50 mins onwards - sexual confidence, faking orgasm, sex toys, anal sex, role play, sexual compatibility, dirty talk.

If you'd like to hear more conversations about sex here on Ready to be Real check out the following episodes :

Sex educator Jenny Keane (2022) and Sexologist Emily Power Smith (2021).

And definitely listen to Grace's pod 'The G spot' too.

Please listen, like, follow, share and all the other stuff...I really appreciate the support.

Next week will be my last episode of 2025!
