As the perfect companion to nearly all of life’s mundane tasks (looking at you, commuting, cooking, and cleaning), podcasts bring some much-needed excitement to everyday life. And if you’re ready to kick it up a notch because, well, maybe you’re so bored that you’re horny or you need some tips and tricks, these podcasts are sure to give you some seriously amazing ideas to try in the bedroom…or at least a sex story to giggle about.
Whether you are just curious, identify as queer, or consider yourself a self-proclaimed sexpert, trust: There’s something out there for everyone. So jump on that StairMaster, finally clean out your closet, or simply sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy these eight sex podcasts just because you #deserve it—and your sex life does too.
1. Call Her Daddy
Part of Barstool Sports’ portfolio of podcasts, Call Her Daddy puts women in charge of the conversation—specifically, two 20something NYC roommates discussing the same dating issues you and your besties do. Addressing such topics as “How to Keep Them Interested During a Quarantine” and “Post–Sex Tape Regret,” hosts Alexandra Cooper and Sofia Franklyn’s advice is both effective and hilarious and may teach you a lil something about a thing called post-nut clarity too.
2. Sex With Emily
Emily Morse knows good sex…and also a thing or two about the wild world of dating (I mean, not only is she a sex and relationship expert, but she also has her doctorate in human sexuality—NBD or anything). If you’re looking for something new to try in the bedroom or you just want to hear an inclusive, open-minded conversation about getting it on, give her a download.
3. Nancy
Best friends Kathy Tu and Tobin Low explore today’s LGBTQ+ experience one podcast episode at a time. They feature queer stories, conversations, and what it means to be inclusive in a world that often isn’t. While Nancy first kicked off in 2017, their site features its own starter kit, a place to catch you up on all the action right away with their best, most popular episodes that’ll get you started.
4. Girls Gotta Eat
If you’re a single woman in 2020, you know it’s rough out there. And so do Rayna and Ashley, hosts of Girls Gotta Eat. From their “Is This Weird?” segment where they answer listeners’ strangest relationship questions to sexual “cumming-of-age” stories, no topic is off the table.
5. Where Should We Begin With Esther Perel
You’ve probably heard of Esther Perel. She’s an iconic couples therapist who just happens to have a super-amazing accent (which is undoubtedly soothing AF as you listen to her speak about your biggest relationship and sex qualms). She invites you to step into her office while she takes on the struggles of real-life couples. Feeling like your relationship needs a romantic revival? Or looking for an upside to divorce?
