Tatiana Ashborn is a sex educator and host of "Dirty Talk/Under The Sheets with Tatiana Ashborn," where she creates open, shame-free conversations about intimacy and relationships.

This was an extremely free-flowing chat between Tatiana and I, with us both opening up on our personal experiences of sex and relationships.

In this episode, we explore:

- How growing up around her brother, his mates, and visiting musicians shaped views on sex, relationships, and the double standards between men and women

- Why traditional sex education focuses on fear and pregnancy rather than pleasure, consent, and healthy exploration - and what's actually missing from the conversation

- The real story behind Jason appearing on Naked Attraction, including the application process, the manufactured behind-the-scenes reality, and how prior experiences with skinny dipping made the nudity feel surprisingly normal

- Red flags in modern dating that might actually be green flags depending on your perspective - including not drinking, religious gym-going, and having a sex education podcast

- The connection between music and intimacy, from awkward sex playlists to how creativity and sexuality intersect in unexpected ways

- What it's really like running a successful in-person podcast with two recordings a day, managing pre-interview anxiety, and learning to truly listen rather than just wait for your turn to talk

This conversation includes candid stories about first sexual experiences, navigating judgment as a sex educator, and the evolution from anxious question-reading to authentic conversational interviewing.
