Stop Fighting, Start Fucking: The Secret to Divorce-Proof Love

Digital intimacy is real — and you’re doing it every day, whether you realize it or not.

In this episode of Pleasure Science, sex scholar Nadège breaks down the secret emotional world happening inside your phone: the affection in your memes, the desire to send a sext, and the rituals of love hidden inside every cell phone.

We explore how technology has completely reshaped human intimacy — and why your texts, nudes, and phone calls matter more than you think.

From the psychology of sexting to digital boundaries, consent, and what happens when digital intimacy is violated through hacking or revenge porn, this conversation reframes online connection as a normal, healthy part of modern relationships. Discover how digital affection builds desire, how technology shapes communication in love, and why embracing digital intimacy without shame can transform your sex life and your self-confidence.

Digital Intimacy: Are phones becoming your new bedroom?

Porn is good for your health — and the science will blow your mind!

In this episode of Pleasure Science I sit down with Lotus Lain, an intimacy professional and sex industry advocate, to unpack the truth about porn, sex work, safety, and consent.

Together, we dismantle the biggest misconceptions around sex work and explore what the research actually tells us:
📉 Decriminalizing sex work reduces rape and sexual assault
📈 Criminalizing sex work makes everyone less safe
💡 Porn sets some of the strongest standards of consent you’ll find anywhere

Lotus shares her story of becoming a sex-work professional, the real meaning of consent, and why sex work is work. We talk whorephobia, porn literacy, and the cultural myths that keep people misinformed and afraid of the very industries designed to promote agency, communication, and choice.

This is a necessary conversation that will challenge your assumptions, sharpen your understanding of pleasure, and expand the way you think about sexuality, safety, and empowerment.

Pleasure Science Podcast Season 2 Trailer

What if everything you thought you knew about sex was just one version of the story?

In this episode, Nadège is joined by author and activist Lucie Fielding, whose groundbreaking work on trans sex is reshaping how we think about pleasure, bodies, and desire. Together, these two scholars explore how queering sex (i.e. breaking free from ideas of what sex should be) can make intimacy more exciting, fulfilling, and inclusive for everyone.

In this eye-opening conversation, Nadège and Lucie talk about:

 * The real reason why the traditional sex script limits your pleasure
 * How renaming body parts can transform intimacy
 * What “muffing” is and why you might want to try it

If you’ve ever felt like sex was supposed to look a certain way, this episode will give you permission to rewrite the rules.

Rethink How You F*ck with Queer Sex Tips

Have you ever questioned the romantic milestones society tells us we should follow?

The "Heterosexual Timeline"—also known as the Relationship Escalator—is something you’ve probably never heard of, and yet it is the thing telling you what it means to be successful in love.

This unspoken timeline is the reason why most of us date the way we do, it’s why we assume that if you’re in love you should get married, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

At one point we have to ask ourselves, what if the ways we’ve learned how to love has nothing to do with our desires, needs, or our identity?

In this week’s episode, Nadège shares her personal coming-out story and explores how queer people have felt freer to make their own rules in relationships (and why this is a mentality EVERYONE should have!)

This episode will change the way you think about sex, love, and relationships.

Listen now and start creating your own timeline for love!
