The Hook Up

Let’s talk about boners. 

Erections, or the lack thereof, are pivotal to a lot of people’s sex lives. But they don’t have to be. 

Whether you have trouble getting it up, or you’re always in tentpole mode, it’s important to understand what’s going on with your dick.

Sex therapist Dr Christopher Fox joins Nat to help answer everything you ever wanted to know about hard-ons.

Say you’re getting really into someone you’ve been dating, only for them to tell you, "Sorry, I just want to keep it casual..."

But what the f**k does that actually mean?

Relationships counsellor Clinton Power and sexologist Chantelle Otten join Nat to suss out what it really means to be casually seeing someone, when it works, when it doesn't, and what to do if someone catches feels.

For the past four years, Jamie Morton has been reading the porno his dad wrote to the world through the wildly successful podcast My Dad Wrote A Porno.

Ahead of their second Australian tour, Nat chats with Jamie about knowing your parents’ kinkiest fantasies, the cringe and fascination with bad erotica and why we shouldn’t take sex so seriously.

Do you reckon it’s OK to talk about your ex around your current partner?

Exes can be a big part of what makes you who you are. But at what point can you say enough is enough?

Psychosexual therapist Jacqueline Hellyet and psychologist and Director of Relationships Australia Elisabeth Shaw join Nat to chat about what's reasonable, what's not, and how to discuss the ex in a new relationship.

It can be really daunting to seek out a sex worker if you’ve never done it before.

How do you know who’s going to be right for you? How do you negotiate payment? And is it even legal?

It can be really tricky knowing where to start, so to break it all down for you, sex worker Lucie Bee and Scarlett Alliance CEO Jules Kim join Nat in the studio.

We all know festivals are the perfect place to get loose and hook up. But while they're usually amazing experiences, they can also come with risks.

Dr Phillip Wadds, Senior Lecturer in Criminology the University of New South Wales, has co-authored a report that investigates Safety, Sexual Harassment and Assault at Australian Music Festivals.

Dr Wadds joins Nat to chat about why this is still such a big issue and what needs to be done to make festivals safer for everyone.

Splendour in the Grass is just around the corner and let's be real ... everyone knows there’s more to festivals than just the music.

But why do we froth over festival hook ups so much? And what's the best way to go about it?

Nat chats with a panel of experts - who all met their current partners at festivals - to suss out all the dos and don'ts of festival love.

Do you think smart is sexy? Are you aroused by intelligence? You might be a sapiosexual.

What do you do with your hair down there? Maybe you pluck it, maybe you wax it, maybe you’ve lasered it all off…

But why are we so obsessed with removing our pubes, and has it always been this way?

Nat tackles those questions and learns how everyone can embrace whatever landscaping they choose … and how to deal if a partner can't get around it.
