Podcasts about love and sex are like the 3D version of reading a love and sex column. Here are 5 of our favorites you can listen to right now.
While a sex and advice columns are not things you normally associate with podcasts and radio programs, there are tons of them and they are very beloved by many. And while it might sound crazy to listen to someone else’s sex stories, if you’re alone and in quarantine, this might make the experience even more titillating.
Quarantine or not, podcasts focused on love and relationships work really well, functioning as if you were having an intimate conversation with a friend, only they’re the ones doing all of the talking and handing down the knowledge.
Whether these people are giving out therapist-like advice, telling you their most personal and embarrassing stories, or simply traveling the world and talking about sex when people were allowed to do these kinds of things, these podcasts are a good time. They might also teach you a thing or two about sex, cultures and relationships.
Here are the 5 must listen podcasts about love and sex.
Private Parts Unknown
Hosted by Courtney Kocak & Sofiya Alexandra, Private Parts Unknown is a travel podcast that discusses the different ways in which people interact with sex and gender throughout different countries. The conversations are funny and always enlightening, explaining why countries and their people are the way the are. I think we could also use any stories that involve travel right now.
