We’re always looking for fresh ways to help you bring more excitement and spark into your sex life. Today, we want to share an incredible resource that will expand your horizons and deepen your understanding of human sexuality with all of its pleasures and challenges.
Sex Out Loud, hosted by Tristan Taormino, isn’t just another podcast about sex. It’s a full-on dive into the world of sexuality, designed to take you beyond the ordinary and inspire new pathways to intimacy, joy, and pleasure.
On our site, you’ve probably already explored plenty of new sex positions to spice things up — and that’s amazing. But this podcast is the perfect next step, offering an equally exciting way to expand your sexual journey.
Why Sex Out Loud is worth your time
- Pushing boundaries. If you’re craving something new, this podcast will stretch your ideas about sex. It tackles topics that often go unspoken: BDSM, kink, polyamory, gender identity, and more. It’s an ideal resource for anyone ready to better understand themselves and their partner.
- Real insights from real experts. This isn’t surface-level chit-chat. Each episode features conversations with sexologists, therapists, and activists who share practical advice and fresh ideas you can bring into your own life.
- Honest talk about intimacy. The host and her guests open up about the most vulnerable and complex topics (trauma, shame, sexual health) helping listeners feel less alone and more empowered to build healthier, happier relationships.
Meet the host: Tristan Taormino
Tristan Taormino is a renowned author, filmmaker, and activist who’s been at the forefront of sex education for over 20 years. Her experience and open-minded approach make every episode engaging and genuinely useful. She creates a safe space where nothing is off-limits and no one is judged.
