If you could change one thing about your sex life, what would it be? In this episode, we’re discussing the biggest changes people want to make and the new things they want to try in bed based on insights from Arya’s new study of Couples and Intimacy Trends, which included data from more than 100,000 respondents.
I am joined once again by Nicholas Velotta, a PhD student at the University of Washington who researches intimate relationships and sex. He is also the head of research at the couple’s wellness platform, Arya.fyi. You can find him online at mindonlove.com.
Some of the specific topics we explore include:
What do people wish was different about their sex lives?Why does it seem like everyone is having less sex than they used to?What are the most common new things people want to try sexually?Why is kink becoming more popular?How can we leverage technology to improve intimacy and enhance eroticism?You can check out Nicholas’ website to learn more about his work.

Think about the last few times you had sex. What was your main reason for doing it? There are myriad reasons that people report, including pleasure and horniness. However, a common motive that we don’t talk enough about is when people have sex out of a sense of duty or obligation. So let’s talk about “duty sex,” including who has it and what effects it has on people and their relationships.
My guest today is Kate Metcalfe, a clinical psychology PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin and a member of Dr. Cindy Meston’s Sexual Psychophysiology Laboratory. Kate’s research broadly focuses on sexual agency and motivation across different contexts and life stages.
Some of the specific topics we explore include:
What does it mean to have “duty sex?”Who is most likely to engage in duty sex?How are sexual satisfaction and sexual pain related to duty sex?How might a history of nonconsensual sexual experiences contribute to duty sex?Is duty sex inherently bad?You can learn more about duty sex by reading Kate’s study that was recently published on the topic.

Sexual fluidity is controversial. The fact that people’s sexual attractions can shift has sometimes been used to argue that sexual orientation is a choice and, therefore, that being LGBTQ doesn’t merit being a protected class under the law. In this show, we’re going to dive into the complicated politics surrounding sexual fluidity.
I am joined once again by Mark Cusack, a sexuality and relationship coach supporting people who may have complex, fluid or undefined sexual orientation or gender. Mark’s latest book is titled Fluid: A Guide for People with Flexible Sexuality.
Some of the specific topics we explore include:
Why is sexual fluidity controversial?What does research say about whether someone can consciously change their sexual attraction?Is sexual fluidity something that only young people experience?What is the process of coming out as sexually fluid like?Can people of any age experience sexual fluidity?You can check out Mark’s latest book here.

Nothing makes us lose desire for sex faster than having bad sex. Indeed, many cases of low sexual desire are simply due to people having sex that isn’t worth having. In this episode, we’re going to talk about the three main types of bad sex, what it means to have good sex, and how to stop having bad sex.
Today, we’re revisiting a fantastic conversation I had with Dr. Kelly Casperson back in episode 128. Kelly is a urologist, sex educator, author, and podcaster whose mission is empowering women to live their best love lives. She combines education, humor, and candor in her book and podcast, both of which are titled, You Are Not Broken.
Some of the specific topics we explore include:
What are the three main kinds of bad sex?How can we stop thinking of sex as something we’re obligated to do?Why is it bad idea to think of sex as a bargaining tool?What kind of sex should we be aiming for?How can we get closer to having good (or “good enough”) sex?You can check out Kelly’s website to learn more about her work.

You’re in my Hotlines today, and Producer Erica and I are taking your calls! Today’s theme: conversations you need to have with your sex partners.
First, how long should you wait to tell casual sex partners you’re sleeping with other people? We’re all up-leveling our communication skills, so I make the case for telling them immediately. Next, she’s on ADD medication and likes a drink or two – is it negatively affecting her orgasm? Or should her partner have a deeper conversation with her about turn-ons? After that, we’ve got a young couple who just started having oral sex. She’s sore afterwards -- is it a medical condition or underlying shame? Finally, she just discovered her partner watches porn… and the subjects don’t look like her. How can she talk to him about it without judgment?
Have a question? Call my Hotline 559-TALK-SEX (559-825-5739) or message me at sexwithemily.com/askemily.

Ken and I had a conversation last year about his relatively new business focused on supporting men with erectile dysfunction. His goal was to help them navigate the U.S. healthcare system and address their challenges in achieving and maintaining an erection.
Having experienced this issue firsthand and struggled to find a helpful healthcare provider, Ken wanted to save other men the time and effort. He wanted to work with them to understand their circumstances and experiences, ultimately providing a tailored recovery pathway.
Unfortunately, as we discussed in the show, he found it challenging to reach potential customers, who, I suspect, felt too ashamed to discuss their sexual health with another man who lacked a PhD, despite being a fully qualified sexologist and training with the Dr. Rachael Institute.
Our conversation delves into the stigma surrounding ED, the role of lifestyle and health in managing the condition, and the need for men to advocate for their sexual health. We also explore societal expectations of masculinity and the performative nature of male sexuality, as well as advancements in ED treatments and the importance of a holistic approach to health. Ken emphasises the need for open conversations about ED and the resources available to help men navigate their sexual health challenges.

在一般人的印象中，新加坡第三任总理李显龙和他的父亲李光耀不一样，不是天生的外交家，但李显龙处理外交也有自己的一套。
一方面是基于新加坡国力蒸蒸日上，新加坡在国际上的朋友愈来愈多，名声愈来愈响亮。另一方面是因为李显龙本人的睿智与见识。
不过，要在国际丛林里立足，仅仅和美国与西方搞好关系是不够的，新加坡还需要兼顾好几方面的关系。这个过程并非无风无浪，而是暗流涌动，也免不了波折。
李显龙对中国有很深的渊源与认识，处理或化解了彼此的意见分歧。在任职总理的20年里，李显龙访问中国多达14次，足迹遍及中国大江南北。他曾经两次，以外国领导人身份，受邀到中共中央党校用华语演讲。
在李显龙任内，新加坡处理了与邻国马来西亚争执多年的丹戎巴葛火车站问题，以及水供问题，并解决了长期困扰新加坡与印度尼西亚关系的空域、防务和引渡等问题。
本集联合早报播客《显龙20》回述李显龙如何带领新加坡推进了亚细安的建设， 处理好新加坡与大国以及与邻国的关系，将一个有卓越国际名声的新加坡，交班给下一代。
