Sex addiction has become a cultural catchphrase, frequently appearing in celebrity gossip, TV dramas, and casual conversation. But beneath this popular label lies a surprising truth: most major medical authorities don't recognize it as a legitimate diagnosis. This eye-opening episode of Sexplained tackles the complex reality behind this misunderstood concept.

We explore how the DSM-5—psychiatry's definitive guide—doesn't include sex addiction at all, while the World Health Organization's "compulsive sexual behavior disorder" isn't classified alongside gambling or substance addiction. This distinction matters enormously. When we frame intense sexual desire or behavior as addiction, we often pathologize natural human experiences and reinforce harmful stigmas about sexuality.

The episode delves into how the sex addiction label frequently serves as a convenient explanation for behavior that challenges social norms—whether it's infidelity, sexual exploration, or non-traditional relationships. We unpack how this diagnostic framing disproportionately impacts women and LGBTQ+ individuals, whose sexuality is already subject to excessive scrutiny and judgment. More importantly, we examine what's really happening when someone's sexual behavior feels out of control: typically, it's less about sex itself and more about underlying issues like stress, trauma, loneliness or shame.

What if, instead of asking whether you're addicted to sex, you asked whether your sexual behavior helps you feel more connected and alive—or if it's covering something up? That shift in perspective opens up space for compassion, growth and genuine healing. Your desires, curiosity and sexuality don't make you damaged; they make you beautifully human. If you're struggling, what you need isn't shame but support to understand what's happening beneath the surface. Your nervous system isn't addicted—it's just trying to find its way home.

Ever wondered what really happens behind an OnlyFans paywall? Meet Amber Rivers - not just an adult content creator, but a wife, mother, and entrepreneur who's pulling back the curtain on one of the internet's most misunderstood platforms.

What begins as a candid conversation about her unexpected entry into OnlyFans quickly evolves into a fascinating exploration of modern sexuality, digital relationships, and self-discovery. Amber reveals how her husband actually encouraged her to try the platform, initially as "just for fun," before it transformed into a full-time career offering greater flexibility and family time than her previous job ever could. Her journey shatters the stereotypical narrative about why people create adult content.

Perhaps most surprising is Amber's revelation about what subscribers truly seek. "Most of them are just lonely and just want to chat," she explains, highlighting how emotional connection often trumps explicit content. This human element distinguishes OnlyFans from traditional pornography sites, creating space for authentic interaction in an increasingly disconnected world. Meanwhile, her candid breakdown of daily life as a creator exposes the exhausting reality behind the "easy money" myth - constant content creation, relentless social media management, and the precarious dance with platform algorithms that can destroy a livelihood overnight.

But the most powerful moment comes when discussing empowerment. "Before I did this, I was so shy, hated my body. Now I'm so much more confident," Amber shares, challenging listeners to reconsider simplistic judgments about adult content creation. Through establishing clear boundaries with both subscribers and her supportive husband, she's crafted a life that works for her family while embracing her sexuality on her own terms.

Ready to question your assumptions about adult content creators? This eye-opening conversation might just change how you think about the real humans behind the paywall. Subscribe, share your thoughts, and join us as we continue exploring sexuality with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment.

Ever wondered about the world of size play but never knew who to ask? Our milestone 100th episode pulls back the curtain on this often-misunderstood practice with candid experts who live it every day.

When Mischief and Mayhem from the Ministry of Mischief podcast join us, the conversation flows from hilarious to profound as they share their journey into stretching. What began with curiosity at a kink club demonstration has evolved into a passion they're now helping others explore safely. Their fresh perspective challenges common misconceptions – most importantly that bodies don't "get ruined" from stretching play, regardless what internet myths suggest.

The technical aspects prove fascinating: the importance of platinum-grade silicone toys versus cheaper alternatives, the art of lubricant preparation (powdered lube mixed to specific consistencies), and the subtle differences between anal and vaginal play preferences. These aren't just sexual techniques but rituals requiring preparation, trust, and significant aftercare. Through detailed descriptions of breath work techniques and mental preparation, we discover how stretching becomes almost meditative – a surrender requiring deep trust between partners.

Perhaps most compelling is how stretching enhances relationships through improved communication. When words become difficult during intense sensations, partners develop profound non-verbal understanding and connection. The vulnerability creates space for growth that extends far beyond the bedroom.

Feeling curious? Whether you're size-experienced, size-questioning, or simply appreciate learning about diverse expressions of pleasure, this landmark episode delivers education with authenticity and humor. And if you're in Perth, Australia, check out Mischief and Mayhem's upcoming "Mayhem" event on August 15th – the link's in our show notes!

Why do we find ourselves magnetically drawn to people who make us feel terrible? That question launches us into the fascinating intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and those 2 AM text anxieties we've all experienced.

Your attraction to emotionally unavailable people isn't a character flaw—it's biology at work. If your earliest experiences with love were unpredictable or came with strings attached, your nervous system learned to interpret emotional tension as connection. This attachment imprinting means that when someone treats you inconsistently, your body doesn't register danger; instead, it feels the familiar rhythm of what it learned to call "love."

The psychological principle of intermittent reinforcement further explains this phenomenon. Those hot-and-cold relationships—with their unpredictable texts, occasional affection, and emotional distance—trigger more dopamine in your brain than steady, reliable connection ever could. It's the same mechanism that makes slot machines addictive: the uncertainty of when you'll win keeps you pulling the lever, even when you're losing most of the time. In relationships, this creates a genuine neurochemical addiction to chaos that can make healthy, consistent partners feel "boring" by comparison.

Recognition is the first step toward change. When you catch yourself mistaking anxiety for attraction, pause to question whether you're experiencing genuine connection or simply repeating familiar patterns. Your nervous system can learn new definitions of love—ones built on safety, mutual respect, and the peaceful certainty that comes with healthy attachment. Breaking these cycles isn't about settling for less excitement; it's about discovering that true relationship magic feels like a long, soothing exhale rather than surviving an earthquake. Ready to rewire your love patterns? Start by following us across social media for more insights that blend science, psychology, and the messy reality of modern relationships.

Ever thought about what it might be like to open up your relationship? You're not alone. This eye-opening episode dives into the surprisingly common world of consensual non-monogamy fantasies that exist within committed monogamous relationships.

The research reveals something fascinating: while countless people fantasize about open relationships, swinging, or threesomes, only about 10% ever act on these desires. What holds the other 90% back? Mostly fear—fear of judgment, fear of rocking the boat, fear of the unknown. Yet the couples who do share these fantasies often report stronger, more trusting relationships as a result.

Contrary to what you might expect, having fantasies about consensual non-monogamy doesn't mean you're unhappy with your current relationship or sex life. In fact, research shows people with high sexual satisfaction tend to fantasize more about monogamy, while those with lower satisfaction lean toward cheating fantasies rather than consensual arrangements. The strongest predictors for CNMR fantasies aren't relationship problems but rather traits like being sex-positive, having an open attitude toward casual sex, and in some cases, age.

Whether you're curious, confused, excited, or nervous about these fantasies, remember: your erotic imagination is valid. Not every fantasy needs to be acted upon, but honest communication about desires can create profound intimacy. If your partner shares a fantasy with you, try responding with curiosity: "Thanks for trusting me. Can we talk about what this fantasy means to you?" That simple opening can lead to deeper understanding, regardless of whether you ever step outside monogamy's boundaries. Ready to explore the uncharted territories of desire in your own relationship? This episode provides the map.

Nikki Kelly stands at a fascinating crossroads – a devout Latter-day Saint who works as a sex educator and sex toy expert. Her very existence challenges assumptions about religious people and sexuality, making for a conversation that will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about faith, desire, and how they intersect.

Stepping into the world of Mormon sexuality reveals surprising complexities. From the ubiquitous Utah soda shops (a creative workaround for the coffee ban) to the hushed struggles of religious newlyweds attempting to navigate intimacy without education, Nikki shares insights with remarkable candour and compassion. We explore the painful reality of sexual dysfunction in religious communities, where vaginismus and other issues often stem from years of internalised shame about normal bodily functions and desires.

The journey from religious shame to sexual empowerment isn't straightforward. Nikki describes her own path – hiding her interest in sex education for years, fearing judgment from her community, and eventually finding the courage to embrace her calling. Through therapy with her mother and deep personal reflection, she discovered that spirituality and sexuality aren't opposing forces but beautifully intertwined aspects of her identity. This revelation transformed her approach to both her faith and her work.

What emerges from our conversation is a powerful message that transcends religious boundaries: true maturity isn't about rigid rule-following or finding loopholes, but developing a personal relationship with your values and creating a life that genuinely reflects your authentic self. Whether you're religious, spiritual, or neither, Nikki's perspective offers a refreshing alternative to shame-based approaches to sexuality, showing how education, communication, and self-acceptance create the foundation for healthy relationships with both our bodies and our beliefs.

Remember when you couldn't keep your hands off each other? That magical time when desire flowed effortlessly between you both? If those days feel distant and you're wondering if that spark is gone forever, this episode delivers hope and practical strategies backed by cutting-edge relationship science.

Passion naturally ebbs when life gets busy. Between work deadlines, household responsibilities, and the mental load of adulting, desire often takes a backseat. But relationship psychologists like Dr. Emily Nagoski and Esther Perel have discovered that rekindling intimacy doesn't require grand gestures or awkward scheduled romance—it's about understanding how desire actually works in long-term relationships.

We dive into the power of erotic imagination and how simple acts of flirtation can reawaken dormant desire. You'll learn why novel experiences—even non-sexual ones—light up the brain's pleasure centers in ways that directly translate to increased attraction. We explore the counterintuitive truth that removing performance pressure often creates space for authentic passion to emerge, and why emotional connection remains the strongest predictor of lasting physical chemistry.

Whether you're feeling like roommates instead of lovers, or simply want to deepen an already good connection, these research-backed approaches offer a roadmap to creating something even better than what you had before. Because rekindling passion isn't about returning to the past—it's about building a more intentional, playful and connected intimate life moving forward.

Forget everything you thought you knew about kink and BDSM. This episode shatters misconceptions, unveiling how practices often misunderstood as deviant actually create spaces for transformation, healing, and profound personal growth.

Drawing from groundbreaking research by Richard Sprott and insights from contributors to "Reimagining Kink: Transformation, Growth and Healing through BDSM," we explore why BDSM is far from fringe—with nearly half of participants in Belgian studies having tried it at least once, and over 520,000 Australians regularly engaging in kink practices. These aren't just titillating statistics; they reveal a widespread human desire for experiences that transcend ordinary boundaries of pleasure and connection.

The most surprising revelation? Regular BDSM practitioners often demonstrate higher mental well-being than the general population. Through intentional structure, explicit consent, clear boundaries, and dedicated aftercare, kink creates containers for vulnerable exploration that many find profoundly therapeutic. For some—especially those from marginalized communities—these spaces allow integration of shadow aspects, reclamation of voice, and expression of authentic selfhood without fragmentation. As one transmasculine, neurodivergent contributor shared, kink provided a ritual space where they "felt whole" rather than fractured.

Whether you're kink-curious or simply interested in understanding human psychology and pleasure beyond conventional frameworks, this episode offers valuable insights into how intentional power exchange can foster trust, presence, and self-discovery. Because ultimately, your fantasies don't make you broken, your pleasure doesn't need justification, and when explored safely and consensually, your desires might just lead to unexpected healing. Ready to see kink through a new lens? Listen now, and let your curiosity guide you toward deeper understanding of human connection and transformation.
