Did you ever get “the talk” from your parents? In the final episode of Doing It: Deep Dives, we’re talking all about sex positive parenting.

What role do parents actually have in providing sex ed?

Join me, Hannah Witton, sex educator Marisol (The SexEd Mum), researcher Marcelle Kosman, and some returning guests, as we dig into those questions and more!

Is porn warping our view of sex? In this week’s episode, we’re diving into t, and how it can impact our experiences of sex, relationships, our bodies, and our identities.

Join me, Hannah Witton, and guests professor Alan McKee, therapist and porn producer Jet Setting Jasmine, and sex educator and porn maker Billy Lore, as we explore the stigma, myths, and emotions we hold around porn.

No more simply mentioning it in passing: in this week’s episode, we properly dive into capitalism and money, and how they both shape our experiences of sex, relationships, our bodies, and our identities. How does capitalism affect our experience of gender? If we all need money to survive, why is there a stigma around selling sex for money? Do you feel pressure to treat your sexuality as a self-improvement project?

Join me, Hannah Witton, and guests author Sophia K Rosa, writer and editor Franki Cookney, sex worker Lydia Caradonna, and actress and creator of Philosophy Tube Abi Thorn, to investigate how an economic system can intersect with our personal lives.

Welcome to Doing It Podcast: Deep Dives, where we get unapologetically nerdy about sex! Over this season, we’ll be exploring some of the biggest taboos that impact our relationship with sex, our bodies, and the people in our lives.

Our first episode is all about sex therapy! What actually is it? Why do people choose to go to sex therapy and what happens when you sit down on a sex therapist's couch? Let's deep dive into how sex therapy can transform people's confidence, why we're all so bad at talking about sex, and if sex therapy is inclusive for everyone. Join me, Hannah Witton, as we investigate with the help of psychosexual psychotherapist Silva Neves, writer Emma-Louise Boynton, and sexological body worker Jessica Parker.

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Cody Daigle-Orians, an asexuality educator, writer, and creator of Ace Dad Advice. Cody talks about how to know if you’re asexual, the different identities under the asexual umbrella, and the difference between sexual attraction, romantic attraction, and lots of other kinds of attraction too. He and Hannah talk about Cody understanding he was asexual later in life at 42, how the language of asexuality helped him understand that he wasn’t broken, and how he felt like a bad gay person for not being connected to sex in the same way as other gay people around him when he was growing up. Finally Cody talks about his new book, I Am Ace, how ace and allosexual people can be in a relationship, and how understanding your sexuality is a journey so you should give yourself permission to ask a lot of questions and live your best life.

Cody’s book is available now!
