We All Deserve to Feel Sexy and Free with Mel Woods
Mel Woods is a trans nonbinary journalist (they/them) who grew up outside Red Deer, Alberta, next door to a semi-truck driver named Todd.

Mel shares what reality TV taught a generation of queer kids, what testosterone does that nobody warns you about, and why some cis women take it too. They also get into reporting on anti-trans politics from inside the story, and why going to play Magic: The Gathering after a brutal news day counts as resistance.About Mel WoodsMel Woods is an award-winning journalist, writer and editor originally from the prairies and now based in Vancouver.

The Sex Question You Swallow in the Waiting Room
Take two sex questions and call me in the morning. If only talking to your doctor about sex felt that easy.You rehearsed the question in the waiting room. Then the doctor walked in, and you swallowed it.Maybe it was about STI testing. Pain. Pleasure. A change in your body. Something you worried would sound strange, embarrassing or too personal for a medical appointment.Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe is an academic family physician, medical educator, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, longtime health expert on CTV's The Social, and co-host of The Doc Talk Podcast. She and Michelle explore how shame follows us into the exam room, how a provider's tone can open or close a conversation, and why sexual healthcare should make room for pleasure, not only pain or problems.Sheila offers a place to start when the words will not come: "I'm feeling embarrassed, but I'd like to talk about this."You don't need a polished explanation.

Does Your Dick Need Rehab?
You went to the doctor. The bloodwork was fine, the scans were fine, and you were told to live with it. So you assumed the problem must be you. But what if the pain, the softer erections, the coming sooner than you want were never in your head? What if the part of your body nobody named has muscles, nerves, and actual treatment options?Dr. Susie Gronski is a pelvic health physical therapist and AASECT-certified sexuality counsellor and educator who built her practice around the gap nobody else was filling. Men have pelvic floors. Those muscles get tight, tense, and crabby, and they can be rehabbed. She also has a phrase she gives every client before they get on the table: bodies do body things.About Dr. Susie GronskiWith over a decade of expertise in men's pelvic and sexual health, Dr. Susie Gronski is a Licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, Pelvic Health Therapist, AASECT Certified Sexuality Counselor and Educator, and founder of a multidisciplinary pelvic health clinic in Asheville, North Carolina.

Why Men Choose Porn Over Partnered Sex with Lisa Etherson
You promised yourself you'd stop. You didn't. And then you took that as proof of something about you. But what if the porn and masturbation weren’t the whole story? What if they were the strategy quietly keeping something much scarier in place?A man reaching for porn instead of his partner may have found a version of sex that feels safer from shame.Lisa Etherson, UK-based psychosexual therapist and the originator of Shame Containment Theory, offers another lens: performance anxiety can involve fear of shame, and the behaviour we call “compulsive” or “addictive” can serve as a shame containment strategy.About LisaLisa Etherson is a psychosexual therapist, researcher, trainer and co-founder of The Shame Training Company.Connect with LisaTEDx talk: If you want to change your life, change your relationship with shameLinkedInProduced by Katie Jensen of Vocal Fry Studios, now in her third season with GETSOME.

Why Sexual Shame Needs a Witness with David Bedrick
Shame doesn’t care how much it’s ruining your sex life. It just wants an audience. But instead of hitting up the concession stand, what if you sat in the front row and got curious? You might be surprised at what you learn (and how your body responds afterwards).David Bedrick is the founder of The Unshaming Way and the author of five books. Instead of asking how to move past the shame, he asks what the shame is trying to say. Because you’re not a problem: you’re a person with a story whose symptoms carry lots of intelligence.Content note: this episode briefly mentions childhood harm and sexual trauma.Topics covered00:00 Masculinity, erections, and cultural pressure02:30 What shame is and why symptoms carry intelligence04:28 How survival and cultural messages shape identity07:58 Why fixing and technique can deepen shame10:23 Listening to what erection difficulty and softness are saying12:30 What an unshaming witness does differently16:00 Gender, sexuality, and shame carried through silence20:54 What to notice when shame appears during sex21:50 Consent, “not yet,” and believing your body23:24 Why you cannot technique your way out of shame25:01 Healing as believing your own experience26:36 David’s current trauma work, courses, and SubstackFind David BedrickWebsiteCoursesBooksSubstackProduced by Katie Jensen of Vocal Fry Studios, now in her third season with GETSOME.
