In part two of our Untidy conversation with sex podcaster and educator, Melody Thomas, we tackle more spicy listener questions. Melody is the creator and host of The Good Sex Project, a podcast about good sex, good relationships, and how to have them. Melody also made the hit series BANG! for RNZ, which was awarded both bronze and silver medals at the New York Festival Radio Awards. Melody is a writer and columnist and is currently working on her first book. 

This week we have a listener with a serious case of ‘the ick’, talk practical options for handling mismatched libidos, how to get comfortable with a new partner, satisfaction without climax, being a ‘boss bitch’ that likes to be dominated, feeling ready to love again after divorce, and much more!

The book we recommend in the podcast is:
‘Come as You Are by Emily Nagoski

The podcasts and episodes we recommend are:
The Good Sex Project

The Good Sex Project, Episode 8: Happy Endings
BANG!
BANG! Season 3, Episode 5: Kinky Boots
