Sex is Good. And we’re done pretending otherwise. The Sex Is Good podcast exists to say the quiet part out loud: sex is fun, sex is normal, and sex is something adults get to enjoy without shame, fear, or bad information. Hosted by the founder of a sex-positive telehealth company and a medical provider who actually understands how bodies work in the real world, this podcast breaks down the science of sex, STIs, desire, performance, relationships, and pleasure — without pearl-clutching, scare tactics, or outdated sex-ed nonsense. We talk about the things you weren’t taught in school. We unlearn the myths you were taught. And we remind you that having a great sex life and taking care of your sexual health are not opposites — they’re partners. Yes, we talk about STIs. Yes, we talk about testing and prevention. And no, that doesn’t mean sex has to be boring, stressful, or wrapped in shame. You can absolutely have your cake and eat it too. You can have a wild, fulfilling, adventurous sex life and be informed, responsible, and confident about your health. In fact, we’d argue that’s the whole point. This isn’t a sex story podcast. It’s a sex science, sex truth, and sex freedom podcast. Smart, evidence-based, irreverent, and unapologetically pro-pleasure. Because sex is good. And we’re done pretending it’s not.

Does Body Count Matter? The Science Behind the Debate
Does a person’s “body count” actually matter? In this episode, we discuss one of the most controversial topics in dating and relationships. Does having more sexual partners predict divorce? Does it affect long-term relationship satisfaction? Should it matter at all? We also explore whether a higher number of partners changes your risk of sexually transmitted infections and what the research actually says. Along the way, we discuss morality, sexual compatibility, honesty, and why these conversations so often become emotional instead of evidence-based. Whether you think body count is important or completely irrelevant, this episode aims to separate the science from the opinion.

Your Doctor Is Biased. All Humans Are. Here’s Why It Matters for Sexual Health

And like all humans, they have biases. That does not mean most doctors are bad at their jobs. It means medicine is practiced by human beings, and human beings are influenced by assumptions, past experiences, social norms, and personal beliefs. In sexual health, that matters more than many people realize. Bias can affect which questions get asked, which tests get ordered, which symptoms get taken seriously, and even what treatment options are offered. It can shape how doctors think about age, gender, sexual behavior, relationship status, and risk. DoxyPEP ED Meds PreP STI testing HPV Vaccine over 45 Bias plays into each of those health care decisions. In this episode, we discuss how bias shows up in real clinical settings, why it happens, and how it can directly impact patient care. We also talk about ways patients can advocate for themselves and ask better questions. This is not an attack on doctors. It is a conversation about human nature, medicine, and why awareness matters.

Sex and the City Killed Pubic Lice. Or Did It?
Pubic lice are a sexually transmitted infection that, strangely enough, predates humans. Millions of years ago, our ancestors were covered in far more body hair, giving lice plenty of territory to live on. But as humans evolved and lost most of that hair, pubic lice got pushed into one of the last dense patches remaining: the pubic region. Now, some researchers think humans may be shrinking their habitat even further. Since the rise of Brazilian waxing and aggressive grooming trends, especially after shows like Sex and the City helped popularize them, rates of pubic lice appear to have declined dramatically in some parts of the world. There is even speculation that if grooming trends continue long enough, pubic lice could someday become genuinely rare or potentially disappear altogether. Which is a sentence I never thought I’d say into a microphone.
Viagra and Cialis for Women? The Science Is Wild.
Most people assume medications like Viagra and Cialis are “for men.” But women take them too, and the science behind what happens is far more interesting than most people realize. In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna break down what medications like sildenafil, tadalafil, and apomorphine actually do in women, why researchers became interested in them in the first place, and why the results have been both promising and controversial. They discuss: • Blood flow and female sexual arousal • Why “desire” and “arousal” are not the same thing • The strange history of “female Viagra” • Why some women report dramatic benefits while studies remain mixed • The role dopamine may play in sexual response • The real science behind tadalafil, sildenafil, and apomorphine in women • The difference between internet hype and actual clinical evidence As always, this episode is funny, honest, deeply researched, and very NSFW in places. This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
The Herpes Vaccine Disaster Nobody Talks About
Herpes is one of the most common human infections on Earth. Hundreds of millions of people carry it. It can cause physical symptoms, emotional distress, stigma, relationship anxiety, and endless confusion online. So why is there still no vaccine? In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna break down the strange and frustrating history of herpes vaccine research, why developing one has proven so difficult, and why some scientists believe we may still be much farther away than the public realizes. They discuss: • Why herpes behaves differently than many other viruses • Why some vaccines looked promising and then failed • The biology of latency and immune evasion • Whether mRNA technology could finally change things • Why stigma affects funding and public attention • What current treatments actually do and do not accomplish • The emotional reality of living with HSV As always, this episode blends science, public health, history, and honest conversation without fearmongering or moral panic. Because if herpes is this common, the real question is not why people get it. The real question is why we still have not solved it.
Am I ugly? Are you? The science of how we judge each other’s looks.
Shameless Care and Robert were featured in the Daily Mail. Some of the comments called Robert ugly. Ouch. So naturally, we’re making chicken salad out of chicken poop and turning internet cruelty into a science episode. Are we more or less attractive than we think? Is there any objective way to measure beauty? Why can one person find you hot while another thinks you look like a haunted thumb? And what do studies actually say about faces, symmetry, confidence, familiarity, sexiness, and the toxic sewer known as online comments? In this episode, Anna and Robert discuss the science of attraction, why beauty is partly shared and partly personal, why static photos are terrible data, and why strangers on the internet are not qualified to grade your face.
The STI Testing Insurance Maze: What’s Actually Covered (And What Isn’t)
Why does STI testing feel like a coin flip on whether you’ll get a surprise bill? In this episode, we untangle the American health insurance system piece by piece — from the eight different coverage categories you might fall into, to the ACA preventive services mandate that makes HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and hepatitis screening legally free on most plans. But “free” comes with asterisks. We dig into the single most important distinction almost no one talks about: screening versus diagnostic testing. Same test, same lab, different billing code, wildly different price. You’ll learn the two ICD-10 codes that determine whether you pay nothing or hundreds — and the exact phrase to say to your doctor before they order the test. We also cover: •Why your Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO might pay differently than your neighbor’s •How state laws in California, New York, Illinois, Florida, and Texas change what’s covered and who gets told •The Explanation of Benefits privacy trap for anyone on a family plan — and how to fix it •Why herpes blood tests, HPV testing in men, and expanded panels often aren’t covered •When cash-pay actually beats using insurance If you’ve ever gotten a surprise medical bill for something you thought was free, this episode is for you.
Teasing Non-Monogamy: How to Spice Up Your Relationship Without Sex With Others
Most people don’t actually want to be non-monogamous. What they want is what non-monogamy represents: novelty, attention, validation, and a break from routine. In this episode, we talk about how to tap into that energy without having sex with other people or blowing up your relationship. We walk through a handful of ways to “tease” non-monogamy: Strip clubs Sex clubs Porn Cam sites and digital flirting And a few gray-area behaviors that people don’t talk about honestl For each one, we break down: What it gives you psychologically Where it can go wrong And how to approach it without creating real damage This is not about pushing boundaries for the sake of it. It’s about understanding why those boundaries feel tempting in the first place. Because most people don’t want a different partner. They want to feel desired, interesting, and a little dangerous again.
What’s Inside Gas Station Dick Pills? We Sent Them to a Lab
What’s actually inside gas station “male enhancement” pills? In this episode, we bought over-the-counter sexual enhancement pills from a gas station and sent them to a lab for analysis. The results revealed the presence of sildenafil, which is illegal. That's right, hundreds of thousands of gas stations sell illegal drugs every, single day. We break down: • What’s really in gas station sex pills • How unregulated ED supplements end up containing prescription drugs • FDA warnings about “male enhancement” products • The risks of taking undeclared sildenafil and similar compounds • Why these products are still widely sold in gas stations and convenience stores Many of these products are marketed as “natural” or herbal supplements, but multiple investigations and FDA alerts have found hidden pharmaceutical ingredients, including sildenafil and tadalafil, in over-the-counter sexual enhancement pills. If you’ve ever searched: •Are gas station sex pills safe •Do male enhancement pills contain Viagra •What’s in Rhino pills or over-the-counter ED pills •Are sexual enhancement supplements regulated This episode gives you a clear, evidence-based answer.
Why ED Meds Don’t Work (And What No One Tells You)
ED meds not working? We explain why erectile dysfunction medications like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) sometimes fail.

GLP-1 Drugs: How They Actually Work and the Pharma Drama Behind Them
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are some of the most talked-about drugs in the world right now. But how do they actually work, and what’s really going on behind the scenes? In this episode, we break down the science of GLP-1 receptor agonists in plain English, including how they affect appetite, insulin, gastric emptying, and long-term weight loss. We also review clinical trial data, real-world outcomes, and what happens when people stop taking these medications. Then we go deeper into the part most people aren’t talking about: drug shortages, compounded GLP-1 alternatives, and the rapidly growing gray market. We explain how compounding pharmacies operate during FDA-declared shortages, what “copycat” or “bootleg” versions really are, and where the legal lines start to blur. We also discuss recent FDA actions, enforcement trends, and the broader pharmaceutical landscape, including pricing, patents, and why these drugs have become such a massive financial battleground. From stock volatility to regulatory pressure, there’s more going on here than just weight loss. If you’ve been hearing about GLP-1 drugs everywhere and want a clear, honest explanation of both the science and the controversy, this episode gives you the full picture.
Pickup Artists: Should You Learn From Them?
Pickup artists are one of the most controversial subcultures in modern dating advice. Some people see them as manipulative. Others believe they uncovered real insights about confidence, attraction, and human psychology. In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, we break down the pickup artist playbook and ask a simple question: is there anything normal, sex positive people can actually learn from it? Topics we explore include: • Confidence and approach anxiety • Why initiating conversations is so hard for many • What pickup artists actually teach about attraction • The difference between confidence and manipulation • What healthy, sex positive dating advice should look like Rather than mocking the community or blindly defending it, we take a thoughtful look at the pickup artist playbook and ask what lessons, if any, belong in the real world. Because understanding how attraction works does not have to come at the expense of honesty, respect, or good sex.
Your Prescription Was Probably Made in China. Why That Matters
Nearly 90% of all medications taken in the United States are generic drugs, and roughly 80% of those are manufactured overseas in countries like China, India, and Turkey. But it was not always this way. Before 1984, only about 10% of prescriptions were generic, and most medications were manufactured in the United States. So what changed? In this episode, we break down the history of generic drugs, the 1984 Hatch Waxman Act, and how global pharmaceutical manufacturing shifted from American factories to an international supply chain. Understanding where your medications come from, how generics are approved, and how the global drug supply works matters more than most people realize. Because whether you know it or not, almost everyone relies on this system.
