Within this episode, Grace talks to beloved Youtuber and podcaster Keelin Moncrieff!
Grace and Keelin talk about picking up shame around sex and masturbation, growing up in a naked family, how we learn to objectify ourselves, choosing more ethically produced porn, how to deal with your partner pushing you to watch porn and the insecurities that can arise from a partner's porn use, setting boundaries and communicating around porn use in a relationship, how to get back out there after being cheated on by an ex (during pregnancy! - I believe the term "cheating bastard" was used), remembering your worth, the mad things you hear in school staff rooms, the double standards faced by mothers compared to fathers, enjoying casual sex as a single mum...and as always, heaps more.

Grace is joined this week by broadcaster and host of the Flop Culture podcast, Fionnuala Jay! Fionnuala and Grace chat about the differences between sex education today and when we were young, the rise of far-right fear-mongering around sex education, the myth that Grace is bringing around a suitcase of sex toys to schools, realising you've slept with your new partner's brother, the stress of keeping a secret, coping when your partner's mental health issues are affecting your sex life, thinking about your needs while also being empathetic towards your partner, the stigma around putting ourselves first and setting boundaries as women, having less cruel break-ups, the resentment and anger that can simmer under people-pleasing, why we need government-funded rage rooms...and lots more!

Pádraig and Grace chat and cackle their way through many different topics, from the lighter to the heavier and plenty in between. They talk about not having a clue about sex when growing up, the pain of watching sex scenes with your parents (Pádraig watched Saltburn with his mam, bless his heart), silly nicknames for our genitals, normalising how different relationship structures suit different people, telling your partner if you're tempted to cheat, making the incredibly difficult decision between staying in your current relationship or pursuing a new one, how having a 'good body' won't make you good at sex, believing partners when they compliment us, body image difficulties in the bedroom, getting out of our heads and into the moment, Beyoncé and Jay-Z...the list goes on.

This week, Grace is joined by the fab fab fab Karla K. Karla is the co-host of podcast “The Unpopular Opinion”, marketeer and beauty educator from Dublin. Grace and Karla delve into some nostalgia around learning about sex (J17 magazine ring any bells?!), how the media we grow up with shapes our views about women and sex, why we should not be turning to Reddit sex challenges for the 'cure' to decreasing desire, how to handle a partner's newly shared kink when you are not into it, how libido is much more complex than we may think (which is a good thing!)...and we bust some libido myths along the way for good measure. This episode has A LOT packed in and does not disappoint!

In our first episode, The G-Spot is kicking things off with a bang! Grace chats to the charming TV presenter, podcaster and social media star that is James Kavanagh. Grace and James talk about his experiences of sex education as a teen (anyone else remember the TV being wheeled out to the front of class?!), finding support and friendship through the LGBTIQ+ youth organisation BeLonGTo, how to cope with insecurities about your partners' seemingly perfect ex, navigating casual sex that is physically but not erotically satisfying, exploring core desires, telling our partners what we want, not being afraid of our partners' fantasies, and what James would say to his 14 year old self who was grappling with an STI diagnosis after having sex for the first time. And those are just the highlights!
