Ever wish sex felt a little more fun (and a lot less serious)?

In this episode, Allison brings the laughs and the lessons with a throwback to Dr. Ruth’s classic sex Q&A—reacting to wild case studies and timeless advice from the 1980s that still hits today.

Allison also shares a sneak peek into her upcoming project “Turned On Again,” all about helping you reconnect with pleasure and confidence in the bedroom—because everyone deserves a sex life that feels good.
