Most people are interested in sex. There’s a biological imperative that keeps it front and center in our minds, but it’s also a hell of a lot of fun. And, though there are only so many body parts that make it into play, there can still be a fair amount of variety, and confusion, involved in the act.
Enter sex podcasts. They titilate. They entertain. And, they educate. But, which ones are worth your time? We gathered fifteen of the best currently on the air. You will certainly find something in this post that introduces you to new concepts, makes you laugh, and occasionally gets you a little hot.
Sex with Emily
Voted the #1 dating and sex expert to follow on Twitter, Sex with Emily host Emily Morse is a Doctor of Human Sexuality and sex and relationship expert. Her long-running podcast draws questions from fans all over the world who need the advice of an authority. Dr. Emily is always down to answer and often brings along a celebrity guest who adds his or her own opinions and experiences to the discussion. As a pioneering sex journalist, Emily is not only qualified, she’s comfortable, meaning she will go there. And, that’s great because it helps listeners become more comfortable with these conversations.
Verdict? You will for sure learn something, as this is the most informative sex podcast out there.
The Pornhub Podcast with Asia Akira
Having launched in January of this year, this is the newest podcast on the list. Obviously, it’s associated with Pornhub, so it’s no surprise that the host, Asa Akira, has worked in adult film. For those unfamiliar with her, the AVN recognized Akira for Best Double-Penetration Sex Scene in 2011, 2012, and 2103. But, she’s also a self-identified feminist and the former co-host of the podcast DVDASA (Double Vag Double Anal Sensitive Artist) with American street artist David Choe.
Flying solo on the Pornhub Podcast, Akira discusses sex, pop culture, and feelings with a variety of her friends from inside the industry. For people who follow adult film, it’s great to hear the actors’ thoughts and opinions about the work that they do and about sex in general.
Sex with Strangers
This podcast sits at the intersection of travel and sex, making it perfect for people who not only like to learn about sex but also about its connection to a variety of cultures and people. Sure, sex is a shared human experience that most are participating in, but “Sex with Strangers” uses cultural lenses to show where variation exists.
In more recent episodes, the travel component has been a bit less pronounced, however, with the focus instead being on topics like paying for sex, feederism, and sex and disability. If you want the geo-specific explorations, try starting at episode one with an exploration of sex in Tokyo, episode two with a focus on Grindr in Wyoming, or episode three with a fetish party at a dungeon in Chicago.
Bawdy Storytelling
This is the sexy storytelling podcast that started it all. Hosted by sexual folklorist Dixie De La Tour, the series is an extension of the live stage series, which travels the country asking people for their pervy personal narratives. Think a lascivious Moth. Each installment tells a personal story and the focus is on a sexual adventure that is completely personal. The situations are always relatable, but they also run the gamut. You can expect spanking, kink, cuckoldry, carnal cosplay, furries, public sex, and more. You might even learn about a fetish or two of which you weren’t aware.
It’s not about shock value or providing people with giggle fodder. The stories can be completely hilarious, but they can also be touching or revealing. Most of all, they are inspiration for some adventures of your own.
The Manwhore Podcast
Billy Procida is a New York City-based stand-up comedian and the manwhore in question. But he’s really so much more. You might expect a podcast that centers on a dude interviewing former flames to be bro-y, and there is a bit of that. But, it’s just as educational as it is amusing. There’s also the occasional lapse into awkwardness, as it would be impossible to produce a podcast full of erotic post-mortems and ex interviews without it. Guests often include sex workers, porn stars, and sex educators as well because the premise is great but Procida is past the episode 160 mark and it must be a bitch to find that many ex-lovers willing to come on your podcast.
Every episode tackles sex in fresh in illuminating ways, so the basic premise never grows stale like you might expect.
Guys We Fucked
This premise is going to sound familiar. New York City-based stand-up comedians Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson host a podcast in which they interview men they have slept with. They call it an anti slut-shaming endeavor and are proud to simply declare they have a lot of sex and have no shame about it. Good. And though the discussions are endlessly frank and down with even the most fringe sexual behaviors, it’s not intended to get listeners off.
Ideally, listeners grow more comfortable with themselves and have both great sex and great conversations of their own about sex without any kind of embarrassment. When they aren’t interviewing former fucks, the ladies are hosts to luminaries in the comedy world and sex industry. Think Dan Savage, Stoya, and Jim Norton.
The Potterotica Podcast
This podcast takes a lengthy work of erotic Harry Potter fan fiction (yeah, that’s a thing) and divides it between the season’s episodes. Season one, for example, is a sensuous meeting between Hermione and Snape’s silken pubes in a prefect bathroom, but things really get going in later seasons. Hosts Allie LeFevere, Lyndsay Rush, and Danny Chapman aren’t producing an audio book. No. In addition to reading, there is a ton of hilarious chat and even a few parody songs. You will never listen to No Diggity the same after hearing their version.
Potterotica has so many inside jokes that there is a wiki dedicated to breaking down every episode and explaining their references. There is also a totally passionate following in a Facebook group. Listeners don’t just get entertained, they become part of a rabid fan community.
The Heart
Podcasts are everywhere because they take relatively little to get together. But, though The Heart is primarily recorded in host Kaitlin Prest’s soundproofed closet, it is rich and beautiful. The producers are making personal documentaries with amazing sound design. They call it “an audio art project about intimacy and humanity. As a listener, you are deposited in the life of another person plucked from a diverse cast. Every person working on the podcast is a woman of color, queer, or both. “That Smell” is about the lingering scent of oral sex. “Darqness” is about a music collective in Seattle trying to bring QTPOC together. “Local Honey” is the story of a transfemme performance artist and musician residing in New Orleans.
The episodes are informative — especially if you aren’t a person of color or queer — but they are also deeply moving. The Heart is taking a break in 2018, so enjoy the back episodes and keep your fingers crossed for new ones.
Swingercast
Hosts Allie and John are swingers who invite listeners into their lifestyle. They share their sex adventures, introduce other swingers, and educate listeners on the mores of the community. There is a touch of the voyeuristic, as they are not shy at all. Beyond that, it’s interesting and informative. It’s also a little weird and not because of the sex. The hosts are a trip. There is a lot more saccharine sweet talk than you expect on a podcast that is sometimes about double penetration. They have this curious dynamic. If you are interested in swinging, the podcast is limitlessly useful. But, it’s also great for people who are already in the swining game.
Though there is some humor (often unintentional), many listeners focus on how hot the pod can be. Allie narrating their adventures in her whispery voice leaves many an audience member aroused.
Celestial Sex
This is an unusual sex podcast in that it combines religion with sex. Host Chris Duce was raised Mormon and spent his youth inundated with teachings that insisted premarital sex was sin and blowjobs were never to be given. But, he was a curious 15-year-old listening to Loveline in secret. Like many people with a religious upbringing, Duce had trouble accepting the dogmatic rules and puzzling practices of his faith. The podcast is a catharsis of sorts both for the host and for listeners who also grew up religious. There are frequent guests who address different aspects of sex and Mormonism, like masturbation, homosexuality, early sexual experiences, and the law of chastity.
You learn a lot about sex, but you learn about it in the context of Mormonism, which is fascinating.
Talk About Gay Sex
For listeners looking for a completely homosexual podcast experience, we’ve got you covered. Host Steve V. Rodriguez drives this show with authority, making sure important information — like when to disclose HIV status — gets disseminated. But that doesn’t stop things from getting filthy and hilarious. Along with sidekicks Jeremy Ross Lopez and Steve Carpenter, as well as a hefty list of guests from the who’s who of the LGBTQIA community, Rodriguez is down to talk about anything (legit, there is a whole discussion in one episode about taking the best hole pic).
You might think you know all there is to know about gay sex, but we would bet money you’ll learn a thing or two listening to this podcast. Plus, even if you don’t learn a damn thing, you will still laugh your ass off. Try listening to an episode without wanting to hang or have sex with Rodriguez and crew.
Tinder Tales
This list gives the impression that comedians based in the NYC area are somehow duty-bound to host sex podcasts, but we still had to include comedian David Piccolomini’s pod (yes, he lives in Brooklyn). This is a podcast with some online dating gossip and plenty of horror stories, which we love because we come correct for drama. We also like that the info comes via fellow comedians and friends of Piccolomini and that there’s legit insight to gain into writing an engaging Tinder profile, sending the first message, and steps to take on an actual date.
We were turned on to this podcast via Matt Moran in the comment section of this post, and it was a solid recommendation because we binged like mofos. Of the more recent episodes, we were dying listening to guest Maddy Smith on the episode titled “Drier Than The Cinnamon Challenge.” It’s a must listen.
Turn Me On
This is another podcast hosted by a husband/wife duo. This married, poly couple loves talking about sex and they do it with humor and intelligence. Their cred? Well, husband Jeremie lost his virginity in a threesome, so you know he’s adventurous; and, wife Bryde dragged his ass into the studio to talk about sex through the lens of their own experience. Their genuine humor and obvious love for each other undergirds the entire undertaking. Imagine the surprise and sadness when they released an episode titled “We’re Getting A Divorce.” Luckily, it was a fake-out. Bryde was only taking a three-month trip to Mexico with her other lover. As in other episodes of the pod, they spent the “divorce” hour work through some feelings in front of the listeners.
There isn’t anything they won’t talk about (did you need a sound effect for getting your balls sucked?), and we are big fans of the pair’s honesty and humor. We also tune in to hear them turn sponsors like Hello Fresh into something that sounds dirty.
Knightly Pleasures
Okay, The Grey Knight (host of Knightly Pleasures) explicitly says he makes erotica for women, but we think this pod has a bit more range than that — as listeners are treated not only to the erotica but also ASMR, sleep and relaxations aids, BDSM, and some boyfriend experience. There’s also occasionally some daddy dom stuff happening, and we know that everyone isn’t into roleplay, so be warned. The Knight started writing erotica and then transitioned to the podcast format, allowing him to build on a background in radio. Seriously, the sonorous tones are especially important if you are looking for a sex podcast that lets you close your eyes and slap on headphones for some alone time.
The Knight’s fans are rabidly passionate. They have formed a community that sees themselves as a family. They celebrate the host’s voice and his sensuous writings. But, they are also into his laugh and his revealing question-and-answer sessions. There is a genuine bond here between sexy, humble host and listener.
Sex Gets Real
It was January 2014 and Dawn Serra and Dylan Payne were both disturbed and amused by the ludicrous strap-on sex advice they were hearing on a podcast. Despite a lack of experience with podcasting or medical licensing, they felt starting their own show was the only solution. The world was in desperate need of their sage wisdom. They termed it “setting the record straight in our own silly, loving ways,” and that’s why we fell in love with the show. When Payne had to leave the show for professional reasons, we were pretty sad, but Serra rolls solo with humor and professionalism that quickly filled the hole left by her co-host.
For listeners who want their questions answered and insight from renowned experts in the sex field, this podcast will give you everything you are looking for. We were really into episode 208, which included sex educator Roan Coughtry, who covered intersectional sex ed. The added mega-bonus is that you will be amused as you are educated. Is there a cringe-factor? Totally. But, when your abs are sore from laughing, you won’t care.
