Fortunately, those comments have been deleted, and the individuals responsible have been blocked. This all unfolded on Facebook because TikTok has a more effective system for removing hate speech compared to Meta.

Sexting for Friends
Sexting is a game of two halves. There are many apps and direct messages, which can be used for erotic conversation between two people, but very often those two people are not necessarily in a day-to-day relationship with each other. Indeed, the discovery that your other half has been sexting or communicating with someone else can be the beginning of the end of a relationship.Elizabeth Dell set up Amorus to provide a different kind of erotic service.

The Pleasure Project
This episode comes to you from a rooftop bar in Las Palmas. Suzanne and Annie Philpott conduct a discussion about women's pleasure (both self pleasure and by others) and ways in which we can make condom use or safe sex in general into a pleasurable experience. Once again, the ways in which "outercourseâ, or sexual activity other than penetration can be at least as pleasurable as intercourse itself. The very word "Foreplay" is taken and interrogated, as it implies activity, which is of a lower value than sexual penetration itself, which is always thought of â At least in h...

Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation is a "problem" that affects around 30% of the male population, and a further 40%, although not technically in that category, want their orgasm to take longer than it does. Premature ejaculation means the male having an orgasm within one minute of penetration. Of course, in evolutionary terms, this makes perfect sense. One doesn't want to be caught by a predator in the middle of coitus. As we know from the animal kingdom, getting in, ejaculating and making yourself scarce is the primary objective. However, human beings, having evolved to a point where the pursuit of pleasure and fulfilment...

Sex, Disability and Illness
In this episode, we discuss how getting older inevitably leads to a decline in one's physical capacities. It may also be that as you get older, you have to cope with disabilities which may limit your mobility. You may have some long-term illnesses that, again, act as a barrier to you, being the sort of person that you always wanted to be in retirement. Peter was diagnosed with MS in 2010 when he was 50 and now, 12 years later, that has become a serious long-term illness. None of us are immune to these problems, even though most of us...

Christmas Special
With apologies for slight lateness, but â it's Christmas! And that is the theme of our podcast this week. For many people, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year â as the song goes â but for many others, it is also a very problematical time. Statistics show that not only is domestic violence higher at Christmas, but that divorce statistics also reach a high point. There are probably many reasons for this, but, not least, it is because the stresses and strains of family life also become particularly pronounced at this time of year.It can be very e...

Here we talk to Barbara Bloomfield about neuroâdivergency, and sex, and although the emphasis is not on older people, it is easy to see how the issues overlap and impact on each other. One of the things that older people missed out on when they were growing up back in the 50s and 60s is that many of the things taken for granted today about the way that we are, and the way that we made our way through life, were not available at the time. As a result, older people may be more sceptical about th...

Sexual Health Issues
Lindsay Hamilton is an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist with a particular interest in psychosexual matters. In this episode, we talk with her about sexual health in general, but, more specifically, about the vaginal atrophy. This is a medical condition which involves the degeneration of various parts of the vagina, the vulva, and even the rectum. As such, it is a condition which obviously can make sex, extremely uncomfortable and potentially very painful. Between 50 and 80% of women with reduced oestrogen suffer from this condition, and yet it is virtually unknown or least spoken of very rarely. It can lead...

What's Tantra all about?
Tantra is one of those aspects of sex and sexuality that is often misunderstood and even ridiculed. Sting is often mentioned in the same breath as tantra and the jokes about having sex for hours on end emanate from that. Although it can be seen as the western co-option of eastern traditions, it essentially represents another attempt to get in touch with our feelings and desires and harness those desires in the name of a more fulfilling emotional and physical existence.In this episode, we interview Mare Simone, a Los Angeles-based Tantric practitioner and teacher who informs...

For the vast majority of people, the question of how one should relate to other people in the relationship is one of the great taboos.

Older people, too, suffer from worries about their weight and their attractiveness and are often equally consumed with strategies for losing weight and being more attractive.

This week we discuss what happens in long-term relationships when they have run out of steam. As people live longer and longer and relationships grow proportionately we are increasingly confronted by the question of what they are for. People are asking themselves whether they need to make a break from or make a change within these relationships. About 50% of marriages now end in divorce and the rates for long-term cohabitation are similar. The greatest increase in the divorce rate has been amongst those who have been together for more than 30 years. This has risen from 25% to 44%, showing that there...

Sex, Desire and Privilege
One of the things that has become clear while doing these podcasts is that our backgrounds, the cultures we grew up in and our early sexual experiences have given us a certain privilege when it comes to discussing matters of sexuality. In many countries around the world these discussions would not be possible and particularly women remain in a subordinate role for most of their lives. Female genital mutilation, for example, is still a widespread practice in many parts of Africa. It is important, therefore, to acknowledge our own privilege as well as hope that more liberated conditions can...
