What kind of world would we be living in if we had a bill of sexual rights? Here to help us imagine this is Lisa De Pagter, who is a youth ambassador for sexual and gender rights in the Netherlands. She chats to me about how sex education, consent, and bodily integrity can improve the lives of people around the world, and shares what young people are asking for information on.

Sexual violence is prevalent in our society, but there is hope for people who have experienced this, and there are lots of different ways to heal. Joining me this week is sex therapist Angie Gunn who talks about different ways to heal. Angie talks about her experiences, what happens to trauma being stored in the body, and how trauma is a web rather than a single event. CW: There is talk of sexual violence. Find Angie at connectivetherapycollective.com or equitablecarecert.com

Yes disabled people have sex, but you often wouldn't think so if you believed the media or some medical personnel.

Thankfully, activist Andrew Gurza is here to challenge this notion. Andrew is the creator of a sex toy for disabled people and the founder of thatshandi.co, a website that centres sex and disibility. He chats to me about making a sex film as a person who uses a wheelchair, and how he uses this to educate people.

Anal play is fun for a lot of people, but this episode reminds us that its important to have the right tools for the job. This week, Emma tells us about her recent experience of losing a butt plug inside herself, and ending up in hospital to get it removed. Thankfully Emma is on the mend now but her story has lessons we can all learn from!

While an orgasm gap might seem simple on the surface, there can be so much more behind it. Joining me this week to discuss this is podcast host and philosopher Bobo Matjila, who breaks down why pleasure should be equal, but it is often not due to so many intersecting issues from patriarchy, racism, and capitalism. Bobo explores if love is meant to be constant bliss, or inherently involves pain, and why romantic suffering is glamourised by the media.

Did you know that there is currently no law against stalking in Ireland? With stalking being an issue that a lot of people experience, we need to talk about this and why the law has not taken it as seriously as it should. Eve McDowell from www.stalking.ie talks to me about her terrifying experience of stalking, and why she is campaigning to change the law.

Join Stalking Ireland for a webinar on this topic in the 6th May (register at the website).
