The Hook Up

Do tongue, nipple, clit and penis piercings make sex feel better? Or are they emergency room visits just waiting to happen?

We hear your piercing hook up stories and when tattoos have given you the ick. 

What's the science behind pheromones? Can a big orgasm trigger your period? Why do drugs make you super horny? And can you shorten your refractory period so you can go again sooner?

Dr Karl and Dr Eva Jackson answer all your sex, body and love questions.

Do you feel like no one's really romantic anymore? Like grand gestures, red roses kinda romantic.

You tell us whether it gives you the ick, and what makes you swoon.

There’s a lot of wild claims on TikTok saying how to look after your vulva, like using sprays, wipes, douches, tablets, and juices.

But is it all just bullshit? we chat to GP Dr Michael (@drmichaelsays) and gynocologist Dr Charlotte Elder on what actually works.

Comedian Morgan Jay comes through the Hook Up studios to give us the sweet sweet sounds of autotune. Dee and Pip get the goss on his tour, dms, dirty talk and his open relationship. 

Plus, he gives us a spicy hot take and sings some original songs for you. 

Are there some types of people who are more likely to cheat than others? Or does cheating happen because something’s missing in the relationship?

We chat to couples therapists and researchers about why cheating happens. 

We hear a lot about being cheated on but what's it like to be the other person? 

We hear from the sneaky links who were blindsided, and the people in years-long affairs on why they stick around, and whether they feel guilty or not.

Dating someone who's struggling with their mental health can take a massive toll on your relationship.

Is your partner your best friend, your only ride or die, and closest confidante?

Some of you reckon if they're not, you're really missing out (and you're wasting your time). But should partners have separate roles to besties, and is it dangerous to make one person be absolutely everything to you?

A lot of you told us that you think you either have sexual chemistry with someone from the beginning or you don’t. 

So if you’re dating/sleeping with someone and you feel like the spark just isn’t there, is it worth sticking around? 

Sex coach Georgia Grace has A LOT to tell you.
