Sex is Good Podcast
Sex is Good.
And we’re done pretending otherwise.
The Sex Is Good podcast exists to say the quiet part out loud: sex is fun, sex is normal, and sex is something adults get to enjoy without shame, fear, or bad information.
Hosted by the founder of a sex-positive telehealth company and a medical provider who actually understands how bodies work in the real world, this podcast breaks down the science of sex, STIs, desire, performance, relationships, and pleasure — without pearl-clutching, scare tactics, or outdated sex-ed nonsense.
We talk about the things you weren’t taught in school.
We unlearn the myths you were taught.
And we remind you that having a great sex life and taking care of your sexual health are not opposites — they’re partners.
Yes, we talk about STIs.
Yes, we talk about testing and prevention.
And no, that doesn’t mean sex has to be boring, stressful, or wrapped in shame.
You can absolutely have your cake and eat it too. You can have a wild, fulfilling, adventurous sex life and be informed, responsible, and confident about your health. In fact, we’d argue that’s the whole point.
This isn’t a sex story podcast.
It’s a sex science, sex truth, and sex freedom podcast.
Smart, evidence-based, irreverent, and unapologetically pro-pleasure.
Because sex is good. And we’re done pretending it’s not.

Christmas Used to Be a Week Long Orgy

Christmas is supposed to be wholesome. Family friendly. Safe.
Historically, that could not be further from the truth.
Long before Christmas trees, carols, and Santa Claus, winter celebrations were loud, chaotic, and openly sexual. Ancient Romans celebrated Saturnalia with role reversals, heavy drinking, and public debauchery. Pagan solstice festivals across Europe centered fertility, sex, and rebirth. Medieval Christmas often looked more like a sanctioned carnival than a holy day. Even traditions we consider innocent today, like mistletoe, have roots in fertility rites and sexual symbolism.
In this episode, we explore the surprisingly sexy history of Christmas. How a once wild, pleasure filled season was gradually sanitized by religious and cultural forces. Why the Puritans tried to ban Christmas altogether. How the Victorians rebranded it into a respectable family holiday while quietly preserving just enough romance to keep things interesting. And why, even today, Christmas remains one of the most sexually active times of the year.
We also talk about modern parallels. Office holiday parties, lowered inhibitions, December baby booms, and why the end of the year has always been a time when people seek connection, intimacy, and release.
This is not a titillating episode and it is not shock for shock’s sake. It’s a thoughtful, evidence based look at how sex, culture, religion, and human nature have always intersected around the darkest days of the year.
If you have ever wondered why Christmas feels a little charged beneath the tinsel and traditions, this episode explains exactly why.
