The fourth and final season of Sex Education is out now, and while we’re already mourning the fact that Otis and Eric won’t be returning to our tv screens (at least not together), the show’s finale gave us all the feels. 

In the most recent live recording of the Sex Talks podcast, Emma was joined by Sex Education’s creator, Laurie Nunn, to discuss the making of our fave tv show: how the idea for the Sex Education initially came about; what went down in the writers room from season to season; and why it took them until season four to finally get a finger-up-the-bum-scene into the show.

In part 2 of the recording, Emma and Laurie are joined by Emma’s sex therapist, Aleks, to chat through some of the major themes explored in the show, and to do an extra juicy audience q&a.

This episode was sponsored by The Knude Society, aka the female-led sexual pleasure company on a mission to help you enjoy your body, in whatever way feels right for you. 

The Knude society has designed two vibrators, as well as a water-based lube, that can help you do exactly that.

Ruby Rare is a sex educator, writer, author and now tv presenter having recently made her TV debut as Rylan Clark’s “sexy sidekick” on E4’s brand new show, Sex Rated. 

Here she joins Emma-Louise to discuss the sex advice she’s been offering up on screen, how porn formed the foundation-stone of her sex education and why she’s moving away from a focus on orgasms to a focus on sensuality during sex instead.

Am I normal? That is the question sex therapist, Kate Moyle, says she gets asked most frequently in the therapy room. That and, ‘am I broken?’. In her debut book, “The Science Of Sex” Kate sets out to answer all of our most pressing sex and relationship questions and to reassure us that yes we are normal and no we are not broken.

By reframing commonly held assumptions about sex and confronting the many myths and taboos that still surround it, Kate is determined to move us away from a shame-based approach to sex, to one focused instead on pleasure. I, for one, am here for it.

To celebrate the launch of this much-needed piece of sex re-education, Kate joined me on the Sex Talks stage, alongside sex therapists Dr Karen Gurney and Dr Amani Zarroug, for a discussion all about, well, sex.

The economy may be f*cked, the cost-of-living-crisis all too real, the current state of politics cause for despair... but that doesn't mean we can't laugh through our tears and find humour in the madness of it all. And what better way to do just that than with a frank discussion on sex, love, and the trials and tribulations of modern dating with a panel of speakers who are literally paid to make us laugh....?

For the final Sex Talks Live of the summer, we enlisted the help of a panel of comedians, right before they head off to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, to answer all of your most pressing sex, love and general life woes.

Joining Emma on this live recording of the Sex Talks podcast we have comedian Dane Baptiste; actor, screenwriter and comedian, Jordan Gray and comedian and podcast host, Katie Green.

In this episode we're putting a quick pause on agony aunting your questions and instead turning to sex tech founder, Anna Lee, for a deep dive into how she's deepening our understanding of female orgasms with the world's first smart vibrator, the Lioness, which allows users to track their orgasms using biofeedback data.

'Why would I want to track my orgasms?' you may be wondering.

Well, for far too long sex science has focused almost exclusively on the male anatomy, while overlooking the intricacies and specificities of female sexual function and pleasure. This dearth of research into the female experience of sex has led to numerous misunderstandings and oversights when it comes to our understanding of sex.

Anna and the Lioness team are seeking to address that by helping women and people-with-vulvas better get to know their own bodies, while also contributing to broader research studies around female pleasure and sexual function.

As it turns out, there's a lot we can learn about our overall health and well-being through our orgasms.

We'll be returning to your questions next week, so if you want to send your own agony aunt question to the podcast, head on over the sextalks.co.uk.

Natasha Lunn is the features editor at Red Magazine and the creator of the widely acclaimed email newsletter, Conversations on Love, which she recently turned into one of my favourite books of the same name. 

In it she explores three fundamental questions: how do we find love? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive when we lose it?

In this Sex Talks summer special, I sit down with Natasha to discuss everything she’s learned in her years long exploration of this most universal of topics, and what advice she has for those of us who feel lost in love. I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did.

*This episode is a live recording of a previous Sex Talks event.*

The 5th installment of Sex Talks focused on challenging the cultural script around sex and relationships (you’ve got to find ‘the one’; you need an ‘other half’ to be fulfilled; sex is all about that P in V… you get the picture) and exploring the myriad factors that shape sexuality, including shitty sex ed and reductive gender norms.

We delved into how we can then challenge these ideas, with a particular focus on polyamory and what we might all be able to learn from those who take an ethically non-monogamous approach to relationships.

My dreamy panel included the brilliant, Bronwyn Griffiths @minkaguides (aka 'Fanny Minka' of @sink_the_pink) - a queer polyamorous writer and performer.

Bronwyn's blog, Minka Guides, is all about celebrating life beyond the norm, which is exactly what we did during this Sex Talks.

I was also joined be the equally fabulous @almazohene - sex educator and activist, award-winning writer and soon-to-be author who is currently doing some fascinating research on all that’s shaped people’s approach to sex.

And last but not least, Nadine Noor Ahmad, aka international DJ (who typically goes by the name Nadine Artois) and co-founder of Pxssy Palace, the club night and collective that prioritizes womxn and queer/intersex/trans people of color.
