Kori Strobl: Why Setting a Boundary Isn't the Same as Holding One
Aug 18, 20261h 3mS1
Kori Strobl spent two decades doing the emotional labour of people-pleasing before learning to hold boundaries instead of just setting them. A self-leadership and relationship coach with a master's in spiritual psychology, she works with couples both individually and together, a combination most therapists are trained to avoid. In this conversation, Andrew and Kori talk about the real difference between a boundary and a request, why chemistry so often gets mistaken for compatibility, how victim/villain thinking keeps couples stuck, and why some differences between partners are simply irreconcilable, without either person being at fault. They also cover ethical non-monogamy, the modern loneliness epidemic, and why the body often knows what the mind hasn't caught up to yet.

Dr. Anna Elton is a licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical sexologist with over 15 years of clinical experience. She's the author of Couples Therapy in the Digital Age, and her new book, The Formula of Desire, draws on research with over 700 couples to explain what actually sustains attraction over time. Andrew and Anna talk about why desire in long relationships doesn't disappear, it redirects, sometimes toward parenting or career, sometimes toward AI companions, and what that means for couples who feel like they've simply "gone flat." They cover the relationship shift model that predicts how couples drift from positive to neutral to negative, the research behind pre-terminal and terminal stages that quietly precede a gray divorce, where the modern lines of cheating actually sit in a world of OnlyFans and AI chatbots, and the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire. Anna also shares the one simple practice she recommends to every couple she works with.

Shoshanna Blanca (AKA Jesus Christ Pornstar): Psychedelics, Sex Work and Female Desire
Aug 4, 20261h 7mS1
Shoshanna Blanca, known publicly as Jesus Christ Pornstar, is a sex writer, adult performer, sexologist and PhD candidate in clinical sexology. She talks with Andrew about how psychedelic experiences, from MDMA and mushrooms to ayahuasca and iboga, helped her recognise and work through patterns of workaholism, disordered eating and self-rejection. The conversation covers why she believes many men are unsettled by a woman who openly knows and states her own desire, the double standards sex workers face in dating, how she uses image and persona to reclaim control over how she's seen, and her concerns about AI, from generic AI-written communication to the ethics of submissive sex robots. She also discusses reconciling her religious identity with her work, and her ongoing PhD research on religious sex workers. This episode discusses sex work and sexuality in explicit terms and is intended for a mature audience.

Sex Begets Sex | Caroline Hood on Reclaiming Desire, Pleasure, and Long-Term Love
Jul 28, 20261h 4mS1
Caroline Hood grew up in a religious family and religious school, learning virtually nothing about sexuality except that it was something to be ashamed of. What stayed with her was a nagging suspicion that it couldn't be right: something so universal couldn't also be shameful. That suspicion became a career, a book, and a practice she calls Desire in Real Life, dedicated to the conversations women wish they could have with a trusted friend who happens to be a sex therapist. In Sex Begets Sex: Reclaiming Desire, Power, and Pleasure in Long-Term Love, Caroline challenges the assumption that desire must precede sex. Drawing on Emily Nagoski's research into spontaneous and responsive desire, she argues that physical and emotional intimacy form a loop, not a hierarchy, and that maintaining physical closeness is itself a buffer against the drift toward roommate, co-parent, and coworker that so many long-term couples experience. In this conversation with Andrew, Caroline covers a lot of ground. Why the gender archetypes around desire are serving nobody, including men. Why women's desire always seems to require an explanation while men's is validated without question. Why defining sex as penetration creates unnecessary barriers and diminishes female pleasure, given that around 80% of women orgasm through non-penetrative means. Why the most pleasurable sex reported by many people is not spontaneous but planned, communicated, and intentional. They also explore: the difference between touch that is a request for sex and touch that simply is; how to start the desire conversation outside the bedroom and before things reach crisis point; why mismatched libido is better understood by asking what need is actually being met; why the high and low libido labels are too static to be useful; and whether monogamy is a natural human state or a relatively recent social construct, drawing on Esther Perel and recent research from the Kinsey Institute. Caroline also talks about what writing the book did to her own relationship (spoiler: only good things), and why she believes the mundane, imperfect, ten-minute version of sex is just as important to a relationship as the two-hour tasting menu. Warm, practical, and genuinely freeing. Sex Begets Sex is available now. Caroline writes at Substack under Desire in Real Life. https://www.desireinreallife.com/
Functioning Is Not Thriving | Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer on Hormones, Menopause, and Sexual Wellness
Jul 21, 202657 minS1
Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer is a doctor of nursing practice, certified nurse practitioner, and the founder of Revive Institute of Sexual Health, a cash-based clinic dedicated to hormone optimisation and sexual wellness. She also hosts the podcast Between the Sheets with Dr. Z. Her path into this work began in cardiac, surgical, and geriatric nursing, but it was urology and sexual medicine that changed everything: saving relationships, addressing erectile dysfunction and vaginal pain, and realising that dramatic change was possible for patients who had simply been told their bodies were done. In this conversation with Andrew, Stephanie traces the thread from a rural Wisconsin upbringing where sex education meant abstinence and essentially nothing else, through a clinical career that repeatedly exposed the same gap: nobody in mainstream medicine was connecting hormonal decline to quality of life, and nobody was treating sexual wellness as the essential part of overall health that it is. They cover a great deal of ground. Why erectile dysfunction is often one of the first signs of heart disease, and why it is always multifactorial. What happens to testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone from your 30s onwards, and how those changes affect everything from cognition and mood to pain during sex. Why hormone replacement therapy is still not taught in standard medical school training. Why women were not required to be included in US research studies until 1993. And why early hormone replacement may reduce the risk of dementia, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease. Stephanie and Andrew also explore what it means to redefine sex as pleasure rather than performance; the value of wellness tools and a self-pleasure practice; what providers can learn from the BDSM community about ongoing consent; and why a single yes is not a yes for life. She explains why she walked away from corporate medicine and ten-minute appointments to found Revive, a clinic where she takes as long as each patient needs, examines hormones in combination rather than in isolation, and has no intention of franchising. Practical, warm, and long overdue.
