Just Between Us with Jennifer Zamparelli

Remember the birds and the bees chat? Yeah… neither do we. This week Jen is joined by sex educator Olivia Teahan to unpack the weird, funny and deeply awkward ways Irish people learned about sex or more accurately, didn’t. Funny, honest and surprisingly reassuring, this episode is all about learning to relax, communicate better, and enjoy sex without all the baggage because it is supposed to be FUN.

Porn used to be all about what you see. Now, women are putting the headphones in and letting imagination do the heavy lifting. Jen dives headfirst into the wildly addictive world of audio erotica. From sexy Irish accents and fantasy roleplay, to why millions of women are listening to smut while doing the Tesco shop.

Got a sex question you’ve never said out loud? Jennifer Zamparelli is joined once again by sex educator and intimacy coach Grace Alice O’Shea for another special listener Q&A. 

From why sex can feel amazing one day and awkward the next, to random body reactions and feeling undesired in a relationship, no question is off limits. Jennifer and Grace Alice discuss how to talk about intimacy, reconnect with your sexual self, and the one question Grace Alice believes everyone should ask themselves about their sex life. 

They’re answering the questions you usually keep to yourself.

Ever been told to think about your granny to last longer? Or eat pineapple to “improve the taste”? Yeah… this episode is full of that kind of advice. Jennifer is joined by comedians Eddie Mullarkey and Paul Marsh, alongside public health doctor Ralph Hurley O’Dwyer, for a hilarious and surprisingly honest chat about the worst sex advice men have ever received, where it all came from, and what we should probably unlearn immediately. From wet dreams and one-night stands to manscaping, porn myths and modern dating apps, nothing is off limits.

Feeling sexy… it sounds simple, but for a lot of us, it’s anything but.

This week, Jennifer is joined by comedian Aideen McQueen and burlesque performer Bonnie Boux to unpack why so many of us feel awkward, self-conscious, or just completely disconnected from that side of ourselves.

­

From Irish shame and long-term relationship ruts to crochet-induced icks and the surprising power of a good playlist… this is a conversation about confidence, comfort, and figuring out what actually makes you feel good

Because as it turns out, sexy isn’t a look… it’s something you can learn.

Ever heard of lactophilia or sploshing ? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

This week, we’re getting into kinks… and all the questions you’d nearly be afraid to ask out loud. From erotic lactation (yes, it is what you think!) to squeaking balloons, there is no stone left unturned. Jennifer, comedian Aideen McQueen and Jamie Ryan (aka Mr Leather Europe 2026) unpack where curiosity comes from, what draws people into this world, and what actually goes on behind the scenes. And let us tell you… it’s a lot more common, and a lot less “out there” than you might think.

For this episode of Just Between Us, we're talking about better sex, not more of it, not swinging from the chandeliers, just figuring out what actually works for you.

Because let’s be honest… for something most of us are doing, we’re still wildly awkward talking about it. Between Catholic guilt, dodgy sex ed and the idea we’re all meant to just know what we’re doing, a lot of us are out here guessing and hoping for the best.

Joining Jennifer is sex educator Jenny Keane, who’s here to take the pressure off. From viral workshops (and yes, the great Irish cucumber shortage) to simple, practical ways to shake things up, this is all about getting out of your head, out of the same old routine, and into something that feels good.

Because love, chemistry and butterflies are all well and good but they won’t carry you through the everyday reality of life, when you’re busy, distracted, and trying to stay connected in the middle of it all. From communication and self-awareness to fun, respect and learning how to argue without tearing strips off each other, this is a warm, honest and insightful conversation about the habits that keep relationships strong long after the honeymoon phase fades.

For this episode of Just Between Us, Jennifer gets stuck into a relationship style that sparks a lot of curiosity… and let’s be honest, a fair bit of confusion too: polyamory. She’s joined by polyamory educator Leanne Yau, who breaks down what it is, how it works in real life, and why more people are starting to question the whole “one person forever” model. From myths and misconceptions to jealousy, boundaries and brutal honesty, this is a no-BS look at a way of loving that might just challenge everything you thought you knew about relationships.

For this episode of Just Between Us, Jennifer opened the DMs and asked listeners to send in the relationship dilemmas keeping them up at night and wow, you absolutely did not hold back.

Joining her to sort through the chaos are comedian Enya Martin, writer and broadcaster Barbara Scully, and Laughter Lounge MC Brian Gallagher. From ghosting and dating apps to sex chats, gym hints, and mothers barging into bedrooms at the worst possible moment, this is a funny, honest and gloriously unfiltered deep dive into modern love.
