We live the golden age of digital media, which means advice — especially sex advice — doesn't need to come from a book.
(And let's be real, most sex-advice books are a bit dated these days anyway.)
So if you're in need of some real-talk sex advice, or are just in need of a laugh, check out these seven awesome sex podcasts.
Guys We F****d
Comics Krystyna Hutchinson and Corinne Fisher host the enlightening and hilarious "anti slut-shaming podcast" Guys We F****d where they, yes, began by interviewing guys they've previously slept with. Now Hutchinson and Fisher have branched out by answering listeners' emails, talking about sex in the news, and interviewing awesome people like Amber Rose, Stoya, and Nikki Glaser.
HuffPost Love + Sex
Hosted by Huffington Post staffers Noah Michelson and Carina Kolodny, the HuffPost Love + Sex podcast comes out every other week. Taking a look at a different them in each episode, Kolodny and Michelson have worked with experts to answer questions across the map, from "what is sexsomnia and why is it dangerous?" to "what can men and women do to achieve a better orgasm?"
Sex With Emily
Sex and relationship expert, author, talk show host, and Bravo TV star Emily Morse is known for her nonjudgemental sex advice and humor. Morse discusses porn, sex after divorce, oral sex, sexting, and more. Also, is it me, or does she look a lot like Idina Menzel?
Kinsey Confidential
Brought to you by the sexual health experts at Indiana University's Kinsey Institute, Kinsey Confidential is the podcast that answers sexual pleasure and sexual health questions. Dr. Debby Herbenick is a wealth of knowledge, and for her there are no dumb or obvious questions.
