Who’s pleasure counts? Why has our sex become so goal-oriented? When is it allowed to just be…good?! We spoke to Linda Duits about 'plezier', the Dutch word that ecompases something in between pleasure and fun. It's hard to translate, so just listen to the episode 👅.

We spoke to CEO and Founder, Samuel Douek of Pleasure Platform HOWL on all things LUBE 💦.

And what does the bigger cultural shift look like if we'd approach things with a more sex positive mindset?

We spoke to Pimenta Cítrica on AI and Sex(uality). What changes or protections in AI policies should change around sex education and the use of AI? How is AI influencing how people explore and understand their sexuality? And what does a healthy and ethical future of AI look like in our sexual lives?

We dove DEEP. Listen back and enjoy our fruitful conversation with Pimenta Cítrica. We learned so much!

We spoke to Karin from MMeet on all things around menopause and sexuality. A topic we believe is even more stigmatized than it should be. We learned so many new things about what happens in our body when we enter this stage of our life. How can we stay curious to our body and all the changes that come along with (peri)menopause and continue to explore our sexuality?

We talked to Anna Torres about all things architecture and sexuality during this episode of Radio Pleasure Society.

What would our cities look like if we’d approach it with a more sex positive lens? What if sex workers could get all the room they want, the sky is the limit and we don’t stigmatize visiting sex workers in the first place? Would our view on the world change? Would it be better? Would we become oversexed? Is that even possible?!
