E229: Ask A Sex Therapist: Swallowing, Fetishes, + Exes


Listen Later

Every week on Instagram, we host “Ask Us Anything” sessions. And honestly? We get way more questions than we could ever answer in stories.

So today, we’re bringing some of those unanswered Qs straight to the podcast to give you deeper answers, real stories, and the honest, judgment-free advice you’ve been waiting for.

Get ready, because we’re tackling some of your biggest, wildest curiosities about sex, intimacy, and relationships.


💛 Here’s what we’re getting into:

  • Why some guys are so into swallowing (and what it really means).

  • When “lasting too long” in bed becomes its own problem.

  • How to tell your new partner about things you liked with an ex.

  • What to do when you can’t seem to drop a fetish.

  • Healing steps for survivors of sexual trauma who want a healthy sex life.

  • What happens when you both want the other person to initiate.

    And that’s just the beginning — this episode is packed with your real questions and our no-BS answers.
