Why Talk About Sex? (Our 100th episode!)

In the 100th (!) episode of the podcast, we reflect on why we always talk about sex, consent and relationships.


We started the podcast three years ago and what we thought as 20 year olds about how we should talk about sex was very different to now, so we unpack how that's changed. It's obviously been extremely helpful for us to have close friends who talk about sex as much as you want to, but for everyone it's not that easy, so we also discuss why it can be hard to talk about sex but that it’s vital to anyway.


Just as it’s normal to have sex - everyone does, shocker - it’s also normal to talk about having sex and we need to keep doing it so that everyone feels validated to express when they feel uncomfortable or when they don’t know if they’re doing something wrong. Establishing that dialogue from a young age, and normalising making mistakes, can help to set us up for a life of curiosity and empowerment (particularly for LGBTQIA+ people).


We hope we’ve helped you in some way to talk about sex in the last 100 episodes and if so it would be really helpful if you left us a review on Apple Podcasts or rating wherever you listen.


Don’t forget to subscribe, we have an amazing miniseries about family and parenting coming next week with some insanely insightful guests. Don’t miss it- you can keep up to date on our Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and Threads @sextraspodcast and also visit our website.


We’ll see you on Tuesday, can’t wait!
