An A to Z of Sex with Men2.26 - Z is for Zones, erogenousOur final episode of season 2 is all about Zones (the erogenous kind).
This week our format is a little different. Instead of our usual 'extensive research', we take you through nearly every erogenous zone we and the internet can think of and tell you our own personal feelings about them.
We then discuss our zones-related film, which this time is 'The Piano!' It was intense we loved, but we loved it (and keep away from the darker aspects of it in our discussion).
THANK YOU for coming on our journey with us...2023-12-031h 46
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.25 - Y is for YouthIn our penultimate episode we turn our minds back to our younger and less experienced days and discuss the tumultuous world of sex and relationships from the perspective of 'the youth'.
It's not all anecdotal of course. We do our usual 'extensive research' and find out what the youth of today think about it all, as well delving a little into relationships with large age gaps.
This week's youth-related film is 'Everybody's Talking About Jamie'. We probably won't be talking about it much in the future, but there were some things we liked about it! 2023-12-031h 22
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.24 - X is for XXX Live Show!It is finally time to release our A to Z LIVE SHOW!!
In this first ever collaboration with the absolutely incredible Glitter & Titter Cabaret, we welcome special guests April Fiasco and Gigi Vin Rouge!
Gigi is a stand-up comedian and burlesque artist
combining sex and statistics like they've never been combined before. Sextistics if you will.
April Fiasco is the showgirl alter-ego of comedian Carmen Ali. A regular on the London Cabaret scene, she is resident host at Sexquisite Events & Co-organiser at Socialist Strip Club Cybertease. She has been featured by TimeOut, The...2023-09-291h 33
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.23 - W is for With Benefits (friends)This week is all about friendships and relationships that come with added 'benefits'. We discuss the pros and cons of a typical 'with benefits' type setup, and explore what the 'benefits' actually are - is it just sex, or is there more to it? Can you, in fact, have a non-sexual friendship with benefits? We also look back fondly on our own 'with benefits' friends of the past.
This week's 'with benefits' related film is 'Y tu mamá también' directed by Alfonso Cuarón. We thought it was an excellent representation of these types of relationship, whi...2023-08-271h 23
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.22 - V is for VulvaEpisode P was devoted to Penis, so it's only right that episode V should be all about the Vulva!
And we're not alone, as joining us this week is the lovely professional hula-hooper and graphic designer, Beth!
As we vivaciously vocalise about various things vulvic, we learn about similarities (and differences) in the arousal of different genitals, and discover that the vulva-owners among us know shockingly little about vulvic anatomy.
Our vulva-related film this week was Park Chan-Wook's 2016 film, The Handmaiden. The overall consensus was that we loved it, and were generally happy...2023-07-261h 28
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.21 - U is for UnderratedThis week is all about celebrating the things that don't get enough attention - i.e. the sexually, sensually, and romantically Underrated!
Based on the anecdotes and experiences of their social circle, Raphael and Jacinta look at the sex and relationship related experiences that are overlooked, but delightful none-the-less, be it a touch of the waist, a caress of a leg, or a comfortable silence.
This week's Underrated-related film is Gilda, because *that* glove peel...

An A to Z of Sex with Men2.20 - T is for Turn-onsLast season episode T was devoted to Turn-offs, so we thought it only right that this season T should be all about Turn-ons!
We look at top turn-ons in America and Western Europe, as well as unlikely places to be turned and unusual things to be turned on by. We obviously talk all about out own turn-ons, and how we discovered them, and discuss the sexiest scents.
Our film of the week is Happiness, an exploration of problematic and stigmatised turn-ons. This bit is full of trigger warnings, so listen to the film discussion with...2023-06-021h 38
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.19 - S is for SituationshipsThis episode is all about that previously indefinable type of relationship, The Situationship.
With a lot of help from the glossy mags (and a lot of wading through the heteronormative monogamous agenda), Raphael and Jacinta work out what a 'situationship' actually is, and discuss whether they have ever had one. They look at the pros and cons of a situationship and conclude that (surprise, surprise) it all comes down to communication, really.
The situationship related film up for discussion is bernardo Bertolucci's The Dreamers starring Eva Green. They have a lot of effusively good things...2023-04-121h 18
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.18 - R is for RapeIt's time to talk about that word we hate so much, Rape.
Sadly, rape is something that a LOT of us are survivors of, and Jacinta and Raphael are no exception. It's so important to talk about it and that's exactly what they do. Sharing personal experiences; discussing the inadequate language around rape and sexual assault, and exploring how to support people who have survived rape.
This is a difficult episode with a lot of triggering content so please listen with caution.

An A to Z of Sex with Men2.17 - Q is for QuickieRaphael and Jacinta are back with a quip-filled, laughter-fuelled, fast-talking episode all about quickies! They are not alone though, joining them is none other than genealogist, socialite, and all round smutty guy, William Hall. Jumping from orgasms to red wine and white carpets, to blowjobs in the 'bog', sexy teeth-brushing, and #quickiesinthequeueforthequeen, they explore the meaning of 'quickie', the best places to have them, and the best people to have them with. They also have much to say on this week's film, 'Scenes of a Sexual Nature', which definitely oversold on the 'sexual' part.

An A to Z of Sex with Men2.16 - P is for PenisFor a podcast about sex, there's been remarkably little chat about the specifics of genitalia so far. It's now time to change all that with this week's episode, P is for Penis! (Don't worry, Vulvas will be getting an episode too, you've just gotta wait a few weeks for that one.)
Join Raphael and Jacinta as they talk penis parts (inside and out), penises in art (spoiler: there are a lot), and tell stories of penises they have known and loved.

The guests in question are drag adjacent performance artist, the fabulous Felix Le Freak (returning after their brilliant appearance in Season 1 episode Q is for Queer), and first time (but no less fabulous) guest, actor, musical theatre performer and educator, Tanya!
With much merriment, the group discuss what an orgy is, how many you ne...2022-11-211h 25

An A to Z of Sex with Men2.14 - N is for NudityJacinta and Raphael bare the naked truth in this week's discussion of nudity.
They look at a range of feelings involved with nudity, from shame to confidence and embarrassment to empowerment, and look at the contexts when it is and isn't ok to be naked and why that might be. And of course how nudity should very much be on the nude person's terms, you should never have to take your clothes off if you don't want to!
Having got to a stage in their personal journeys where they're both extremely comfortable with being naked, Ja...2022-10-241h 33

An A to Z of Sex with Men2.13 - M is for MasculinityRounding off the first half of Season 2, we bring you an in depth discussion on Masculinity, featuring very special guest, Cabaret performer and producer of the fabulous Glitter n Titter Cabaret, Matt Rowan!
Positive, performative, toxic and fragile, Masculinity encompasses a lot of things, but what actually IS it? Is it a useful definition, a societal construct, an outdated term, an intrinsic part of our identities, or possibly all of the above? We're left uncertain, but happy to be part of this important and complex conversation.
Our Masculinity related film this week is the 2020 version o...2022-07-041h 23
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.12 - L is for LustThis week we're looking at Love's near, dear, and much maligned relation: Lust.
Where Love is the stuff of epic poetry and enduring fiction, Lust is the stuff of banned books and pornos, hidden away behind closed doors and under creaking beds. So why is that? Why is such a strong, and often enjoyable, feeling surrounded by so much stigma?
Join us on a journey of erotic discovery, in which we examine religion's role in our cultural and societal perceptions of Lust; lament the havoc Lust in the workplace can cause; and reminisce about our o...2022-06-131h 23
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.11 - K is for KissingIn this week's episode K, Raphael and Jacinta are talking all things Kissing!
Whether it's reminiscing about the pillowy lips of partners past and present; deep diving into the science of smooching; discussing kissing compatibility; or explaining the importance of consent when it comes to the platonic peck, they cover it all. Does good kissing equal good sex? Is it bad form to kiss in public (especially if you're straight)? And how does kissing make us feel? Listen now to find out!
Our Kissing film of the week is 2017 Oscar winner, Moonlight. There's a little l...2022-06-071h 13
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.10 - J is for Just KiddingIn our efforts to find something relevant beginning with J, we came up with... Just Kidding! (In other words, faking it.)
There are of course fake orgasms, which we talk a lot about.
How common are they? Do cis men fake orgasms too?! Are fake orgasms even possible?? Have we ever faked them, or had them faked to us?
But there are, we discover, a lot of other ways of faking or 'just kidding' within romantic and sexual relationships. Can we all honestly say we're completely honest with our partners all of the t...2022-05-301h 06
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.09 - I is for InfatuationThis week I is for that all powerful, all consuming emotion, Infatuation.
We often compare infatuation with love, but what is the difference (and what are the similarities)? It's erotic, distracting, and at times deeply inappropriate. But can infatuation be a good thing and does it ever lead to, or indeed, co-exist with, love?
Infatuation with people, places and pastimes, we cover it all!
Our infatuation related film of the week is Théo & Hugo. With intense and sexy (unsimulated) sex scenes, a HIV scare, and extensive shots of Parisian streets, there is much to discuss.2022-05-231h 11
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.08 - H is for HeartbreakThis week Raphael and Jacinta are joined by very special guest, Achim Brandenburg (aka Prosumer) to delve into the topic of Heartbreak.
We look at post-breakup heartbreak, the heartbreak after the loss of a loved one, and the physical impact heartbreak can have on your actual heart. Amongst the usual 'extensive' research, practical (and less practical) advice, witty anecdotes and film discussion, Achim movingly shares his feelings of heartbreak following the recent loss of his close friend, Gary. We feel so privileged to have been able to honour Gary and his memory and legacy on our podcast a...2022-05-131h 33
An A to Z of Sex with Men2.07 - G is for GenitalsThis week we are getting technical and discussing the all important genitals!
We all have them, we all use them (for peeing if not for sexing), but do we really know them? A bit of research suggests that, no, we don't. Vas deferens anyone? Or what about a mons pubis? In this episode we try to clarify a bit of genital biology, as well as exploring our relationship with our own genitals. Turns out it can be complicated, but ultimately, every genital is different and, more importantly, every genital is gorgeous!

Together we discuss the difference between between fetish and kink, explore some common and less common fetishes, and muse about what our own fetishes might be (if indeed we have any, it seems some of us can wank to anything)!
We also watch the iconic kink film, Secretary and debate how successful it is at portraying f...2022-03-281h 47

An exhilarating release and the perfect accompaniment to an orgasm, but ohhhh the mess...
Join Raphael and Jacinta as they discuss existentialism, ejaculation etiquette, the science of ejaculation, and get personal about their own ejaculations past and present.
Today's Ejaculation related film is Shortbus and they LOVED it! There is much vocal ejaculating at the film's sex positive perfection. They highly recommend you go watch it immediately!

An A to Z of Sex with Men2.04 - D is for DramaStressful, scary or scintillating, Drama is a prevalent part of many sexual and romantic relationships (not to mention friendships and work relationships)!
Whether it's the drama of first love or fifty-first love; breakup sex or makeup sex; whirlwind romances or relationships that have passed their sell-by-date, Drama is everywhere. What creates drama in a relationship? Is it avoidable? Can it ever be a positive thing? Raphael and Jacinta discuss all this and more, as well as reminiscing over some particularly dramatic relationships in their turbulent sexual pasts.

They all seem to happen for different reasons (falling out of love, sleeping with someone else, annoying habits getting that bit *too* annoying, lives simply following different paths) but they are all HARD. To help them explore the variety and similarities within breakups, Raphael and Jacinta have enlisted the help of special guest, the wonderful Flavia Fraser-Cannon. It turns...2022-02-251h 32

Jacinta and Raphael had no idea what a zipless fuck was so they drafted in some expert help in the form of SPECIAL GUEST, writer and comedian, Michael Cumes. Together they academically analyse the zipless fuck (a term coined by Erica Jong in the novel Fear of Flying by the way) in an attempt to define something so elusive that it’s almost undefinable. Drawing on more ‘personal experience’ and ‘extensive research’ than ever before, they wend their way th...2021-10-011h 20

What do all these yeses entail? Can yes be said without being spoken? And what’s the difference between ‘yes’, and ‘yeah’?

Not many things begin with X so Raphael and Jacinta have thrown caution and convention to the wind in this X-RATED drinking game special.

In one of the most revealing episodes yet, Raphael and Jacinta discuss what gets them off when they’re on their own; the health benefits of wanking (physical, mental and emotional), and why mutual masturbation is the best. Oh and also how wanking doesn’t make your hands hairy!

Whether it’s sex with strangers, expressing your feelings, or giving your first hand job, there are many ways to feel vulnerable in a sexual context. It sounds scary, but can vulnerability actually be a good thing and, most importantly, can we have good sex without it? Danger, passion, erotic anticipation - they discuss all this and more in this in depth analysis of what it means to be vulnerable.

Why do we make noise during sex? What noises do we make? How does hearing our partner’s noises make us feel? How do we feel about our own noises? They discuss all this and more in today’s exploration of the sex soundscape - groaning, moaning and gutteral cries abound.

They’ve both experienced being in the mood and raring to go, then a chance turn of phrase, mannerism or unwelcome thought leaves them suddenly cold. But why does it happen and why do those things turn us off? They surveyed their friends and it turns out turn offs are as varied and as particular as turn ons, and that’s fine.

Ever since the terrifying HIV epidemic of the 80’s, safe sex has been the main method of preventing the transmission of STIs - but the stigma attached to these sordid sicknesses is unjustified.

But our ‘Quota of Quickening pulses’ would be quintessentially questionable without qualifying it with a quantity of fabulous Queerness. Q is for Queer and we have not one but TWO quirky guests to question the quagmire of queerdom, bringing their own quixotic quips and queenly quibbles to the quadrat to be queried: drag adjacent artist and performance maker, Felix Le Freak and writer, Georgia Iacovou.

Metamorphosing into “golden showers”, bulls, and a menagerie of other totally mundane and normal things; shacking up with goddesses while leaving your long suffering wife to deal (or not deal) with the fallout; abandoning women on remote islands; hitting men in the head with flying rocks; it’s a mis...2021-04-1652 min

From self love (philautia) to lust (eros), via obsession (mania) and long term commitment (pragma), they unpick the eight types of love, applying them to sexual relationships both past and present.

Get ready to be surprised as they improvise, summarise and advise on the stuff they forgot to memorise! Don’t compromise - be wise and realise you’ll only have yourself to chastise if you miss us finalise the first quarter of our franchise!
Going back through each letter they’ve already covered, Raphael & Jacinta add in...2021-02-2625 min
An A to Z of Sex with Men1.07 - G is for GenderThis week, Raphael and Jacinta are joined by their first ever very special guest (cue the trumpet!), Joshua Freddie Vaughan! Together they attempt to unpick the complex topic of gender: From language, attraction and ‘types’ to gender expression, education and colonialism - all placed on the metaphorical dissection table as they discuss their own, as well as societal, attitudes toward gender. This garrulous gaggle generates stories that gyrate between the glorious and the garish!

An A to Z of Sex with Men1.03 - C is for CoercionIn this third chapter, Jacinta and Raphael combat a cruel, carnal and capricious challenge: the letter C! In this chthonic, charismatic and crooked confrontation, the letter C is for Coercion! There’s nothing covert about these corrigible cases from their collective chronicles!
TW: Alcohol abuse, emotional abuse, rape and sexual assault. This episode has, in general, the potential to be triggering for some listeners. Discretion is advised.

An A to Z of Sex with Men0 - T is for TeaserWith the help of the alphabet and a plethora of synonyms, ex-housemates Raphael and Jacinta look back on their turbulent sexual experiences with men. Truthful, funny, exposing - their stories range from the poignant, to the sordid, to the downright hilarious.
Their candid tales (they can and they did) explore the complex dynamics of sex with men. Starting with some alphabetical foreplay, the tension builds with sumptuous sexual stories, culminating in a mutual climax of human connection, and followed by a cathartic post-coital cigarette of feminist and LGBTQ+ empowerment.
From Anal Sex to Zipless Fucks, t...2020-12-1801 min
The McGill Law Journal PodcastLegal Personality of the Environment, part IIn this two-part podcast, we address the concept of Legal Personality of the Environment. This original idea was brought by Christopher Stone in Should Trees Have Standing?, which was published in the 1970s. Nowadays, granting legal personality to the environment is quite appealing for those who wish to protect natural resources for future generations. In this first episode, we meet with Professor Jacinta Ruru, a Māori legal scholar from the Otago University in New Zealand, to discuss the doctrine and its application in New Zealand. More specifically, we discuss the Te Urewera Act, a legislation that grants legal personality to...2017-11-3024 min
