Ever feel like your body is doing something… weird?

Maybe it’s a raging morning erection that disappears the moment things get started. Maybe you can only orgasm from clitoral stimulation and never from penetration. Maybe you’ve heard that using a vibrator too much will ruin your sensitivity and now you’re spiraling.

In this episode of Love & the Layman, certified sex coach Samantha Raddock and her husband Jared address a handful of common—and commonly misunderstood—sex questions all connected by one thing: anxiety. The quietly crushing fear that our bodies aren’t working the way they’re “supposed” to.

Here, we cut through the noise, untangling physiology from needless panic and myth from sexual reality. This conversation offers reassurance where people tend to carry unnecessary worry. Because more often than not, the problem isn’t your body—it’s the story you’ve been told about it.

Can’t shake the concern that your body is uniquely broken? Relax — shame is easily fixed with compassion and understanding.

Press play. We’ve got you.
