Does watching porn help or hurt your sex life? It's a question that's plagued bedrooms, relationships, and internet browsers for decades. According to groundbreaking research involving 100,000 participants, the answer shifts dramatically depending on your gender.

Drawing from a landmark 2023 study published in Psychological Medicine, we take you on a fascinating journey through the surprising science of pornography's effects on sexual performance. For men, the findings are sobering – increased porn consumption correlates with decreased sexual confidence, poorer functioning, and lower partner satisfaction. The culprit? "Threatening upward comparisons" where men measure themselves against the unrealistic standards portrayed in adult content. It's like watching Olympic athletes and feeling inadequate during your gym workout.

The plot twist comes when examining women's experiences. Female participants who consumed more pornography actually reported better sexual outcomes across the board – higher confidence, improved functioning, and often more satisfied partners. Unlike men, women typically approached porn as educational and inspirational rather than comparative, using it to discover preferences and expand their sexual repertoire.

What does this mean for your relationship with adult content? The effects, while statistically significant, were subtle rather than dramatic. The key takeaway isn't about quitting cold turkey or doubling your consumption – it's about mindfulness. Understanding how porn influences your specific sexual confidence and relationship satisfaction allows you to make intentional choices about what, when, and how much you watch.

Ever wondered why two communities that share so much common ground often eye each other with suspicion? This episode dives deep into the fascinating divide between the kink and swinging worlds, revealing surprising truths about how we organize our pleasure.

Joined by the brilliant Mischief and Mayhem from the Ministry of Mystery podcast, we unpack the unwritten rules, cultural differences, and tribal politics that keep these communities sometimes at arm's length despite their shared values of open-mindedness and sexual freedom. Our guests share their journey from curious newcomers to experienced scene-hoppers who've witnessed these dynamics firsthand.

The conversation takes unexpected turns as we explore rope bondage as both an art form and a pathway to deep connection, the science behind why swinging relationships often demonstrate stronger communication than monogamous ones, and how younger generations are bringing fresh perspectives to traditionally older communities. You'll hear frank discussions about consent challenges, the cerebral nature of kink, and why Perth's isolation creates unique dynamics not seen elsewhere.

What emerges is a thought-provoking look at how humans create meaning through pleasure, and how the tribalism we see in mainstream society replicates itself even in alternative spaces. Whether you identify with either community, both, or neither, this conversation offers valuable insights into how we connect, communicate, and create meaningful experiences through intimacy.

Listen with an open mind – you might just find yourself questioning assumptions about relationships, pleasure, and where you might fit in these overlapping worlds of exploration.

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.
