In this episode of Untidy we talk to sex podcaster and educator, Melody Thomas. She is the creator and host of The Good Sex Project, a podcast about good sex, good relationships and how to have them. Melody also made the hit series BANG! for RNZ, which was awarded both bronze and silver medals at the New York Festival Radio Awards. Melody is a writer and columnist, and is currently working on her first book. 

It will come as no surprise that this episode is all about sex ... We’re answering listener questions about sex dilemmas and sharing our unqualified, yet, enthusiastic opinions. We cover everything from handling a mismatch of libidos, mending family relationships after betrayal, reclaiming sex drive after kids, preparing for a first butt plug, wanting casual relationships to get serious, and navigating being called names that give you ‘the ick’. If that’s not enough come back for more! There were so many questions it required two episodes, so, check back for part two!

The books we recommend in the podcast are:

‘Come as You Are’ by Emily Nagoski

‘How to Do the Work’ by Dr Nicole LePera

‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*uck’ by Mark Manson

‘Mating in Captivity’ by Esther Perel
