About This Episode

Y'all, this one is different. Adam and Pris sit down with the one and only Susan Bratton — intimacy expert to millions, bestselling author, founder of Personal Life Media, sexual biohacker, and Chief Advocacy Officer of ProDX Health. She's been in the lifestyle for over two decades, she's married to her husband Tim of 34 years, she has a boyfriend of five years, and she can tell you from personal experience exactly what expanded orgasm feels like. She's not talking about case studies. She's living it.

This conversation goes deep — from how Susan went from a woman who avoided sex with her husband to becoming the person millions of people turn to for real, actionable, heart-connected intimacy advice. She drops her non-negotiable 90-day STI testing protocol, breaks down what "fluid bonded" and "screened in" actually mean, explains the science of extended orgasms, and makes a strong case for why your sex life should only get better with age.
