Let’s be real for a second: sex is one of the most intimate, misunderstood, and honestly… under-talked about parts of being human. Whether you’re figuring things out, trying to deepen connection, healing from past shame, or just curious about what’s out there—sex podcasts can feel like a secret door into wisdom, comfort, and real, raw conversations.
I used to think I was the only one asking these questions—about desire, body image, mismatched libidos, pleasure, awkward moments, boundaries, healing, kink, curiosity, and everything in between. But once I found my first sex-positive podcast, I realized just how not alone I was.
So this list isn’t just about what’s popular in 2025—it’s about what’s real. These are shows that made me laugh, made me cry, made me feel seen. Some are spicy, some are soft, some are purely educational. But all of them have something in common: they help us have better, more human conversations around sex.
Let’s get into the 11 best sex podcasts we’ve loved this year—together.
1. You Can Ask That – Honest Sex Ed for Adults
If you’ve ever whispered a “weird” question to Google at 2 a.m., this podcast is your new best friend. You Can Ask That is hosted by two hilarious and deeply compassionate sex educators who believe no question is off-limits.
I listened to their episode on “Sex After Trauma” during a really personal season of healing, and it didn’t just inform me—it made me feel less broken. They cover everything from butt stuff to body confidence with zero shame and tons of empathy.
Why we love it: It’s smart, safe, and surprisingly funny.
2. TouchPoints – Real Couples, Real Talk
This one hits different. TouchPoints brings real couples together to talk about how they connect physically and emotionally. It’s not a performance—it’s a window into the messy, beautiful, sometimes awkward world of real intimacy.
One episode about a couple navigating a dry spell after having kids hit home for me—and reminded me how healing it is to hear the hard stuff, not just the highlight reel.
Why we love it: It reminds us we’re not alone in our struggles or our growth.
3. Spicy Sessions – Bold, Funny, and Wildly Liberating
Let’s just say this: if you’re looking for something steamy, unfiltered, and wildly fun—this is it. Hosted by two queer best friends, Spicy Sessions is the podcast equivalent of having drinks with your most unfiltered, sex-positive friends.
They talk about threesomes, fantasies, kink, toys, polyamory—you name it. But they do it without judgment, and with a deep respect for consent and communication.
Why we love it: It’s sexy and ethical. A rare combo.
4. The Pleasure Lab – Exploring Desire Without Shame
This one’s a slower burn—and that’s a good thing. The Pleasure Lab feels like a warm bath for your brain. It’s hosted by a somatic therapist and a pleasure coach, and the vibe is soft, gentle, and so affirming.
There was one episode where they walked listeners through a guided pleasure meditation that literally made me cry (in a good way). It helped me reconnect with my body in ways I didn’t know I needed.
Why we love it: It treats pleasure like healing—not just performance.
5. Between the Sheets – Sex, Relationships, and Everything Messy
This one covers it all. Hosted by a journalist who isn’t afraid to get vulnerable, Between the Sheets dives into stories that sit at the intersection of sex and real life—infidelity, STIs, libido differences, hookup culture, and more.
The host shares pieces of her own journey throughout, and it makes the whole thing feel like a shared experience, not a lecture.
Why we love it: It’s nuanced, emotional, and refreshingly honest.
6. Kink & Kindness – Gentle Entry into BDSM and Beyond
If the word “kink” makes you nervous or curious (or both), this podcast is a soft landing. Kink & Kindness gently unpacks everything from dominance and submission to aftercare and communication—with heart.
I went into it expecting to feel like an outsider. Instead, I felt deeply seen. The hosts remind us that kink isn’t about pain—it’s about trust, safety, and power dynamics explored with care.
Why we love it: It dismantles stereotypes and centers emotional safety.
7. Naked Minds – Sex Meets Psychology
This one’s for the thinkers, the feelers, and the “why am I like this?” folks. Naked Minds explores the psychology behind sexuality—attachment styles, trauma, fantasy, shame, communication, and more.
There was a particular episode on sexual avoidance and anxiety that shifted how I thought about my own patterns. It didn’t judge—it explained. And it helped.
Why we love it: It gives context, language, and grace for the things we’re still learning.
8. Late Night Love Notes – Letters, Confessions, and Real Emotions
This podcast feels like reading a box of love letters in the middle of the night. Every episode is based on real, anonymous stories or confessions from listeners—raw, messy, tender, and honest.
Some are romantic, some are heartbreaking, some are laugh-out-loud embarrassing. But they’re all real. And reading other people’s vulnerability somehow gave me permission to embrace my own.
Why we love it: It’s vulnerable, voyeuristic, and healing in the best way.
9. Still Curious – For The Sexually Evolving
Whether you’re questioning your sexuality, navigating identity, or just evolving past the version of yourself you were 10 years ago, Still Curious is a safe space.
I remember one episode where a guest came out as bisexual in her 40s, and her story cracked something open in me. We’re always becoming. This podcast honors that.
Why we love it: It’s fluid, respectful, and gives voice to late bloomers and quiet revolutionaries.
10. Let’s Talk About It – Conversations with Sex Therapists
If you’ve ever wished you could talk to a sex therapist without the price tag, this one’s for you. Let’s Talk About It is hosted by licensed professionals, but the tone is gentle, open, and totally unpretentious.
They answer real listener questions—everything from “how do I talk to my partner about fantasies?” to “what if I’ve never had an orgasm?” It’s sex therapy, but make it human.
Why we love it: It’s smart and sensitive, with zero judgment.
11. Pleasure Practice – Guided Intimacy You Can Try at Home
Okay, this one is different. Pleasure Practice is part podcast, part guided experience. Think: audio intimacy meditations, partnered connection exercises, breathwork for arousal, and more.
I tried one of their solo sessions during a hard week, and something shifted. It wasn’t about sex—it was about reconnecting with my body and breath in a way that felt sacred.
Why we love it: It’s experiential. You don’t just listen—you feel.
🌿 Final Thoughts: Why We’re Listening Differently in 2025
Sex is more than performance. It’s more than pleasure. It’s more than shame or sin or silence. It’s part of what makes us us—curious, emotional, complicated, craving connection.
These podcasts help us listen to each other, and more importantly, listen to ourselves. They invite us to unlearn, to heal, to laugh, to explore. They remind us that there is no single “normal”—just what’s true for you.
If I could go back and whisper one thing to my younger self, it would be this: you’re not broken for wanting more, for needing softness, for asking questions.
So go listen. Laugh. Cry. Get curious. Share an episode with a partner, or binge one on your own. You might be surprised what opens up—not just in the bedroom, but in your heart.
