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the science of sex, STIs, desire, performance, relationships, and pleasure — without pearl-clutching, scare tactics, or outdated sex-ed nonsense.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.

The Herpes Vaccine Disaster Nobody Talks About

Herpes is one of the most common human infections on Earth. Hundreds of millions of people carry it. It can cause physical symptoms, emotional distress, stigma, relationship anxiety, and endless confusion online.
So why is there still no vaccine?
In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna break down the strange and frustrating history of herpes vaccine research, why developing one has proven so difficult, and why some scientists believe we may still be much farther away than the public realizes.
They discuss:
• Why herpes behaves differently than many other viruses
• Why some vaccines looked promising and then failed
• The biology of latency and immune evasion
• Whether mRNA technology could finally change things
• Why stigma affects funding and public attention
• What current treatments actually do and do not accomplish
• The emotional reality of living with HSV
As always, this episode blends science, public health, history, and honest conversation without fearmongering or moral panic.
Because if herpes is this common, the real question is not why people get it.
The real question is why we still have not solved it.
