I was looking for a good audio podcast (as in a podcast about audio recording/engineering) but using the typical keywords are damn difficult (recording, audio) usually hit any kind of content because in the world of podcasting, ulitmately, everything is audio or recorded.

So I tried clicking on the top rated podcasts and hoped I just found a title which sound like the podcast I was looking for… then I hit this title:

Sex is Fun

So being the responsible, good-boy citizen I am… I immediately subscribed to hear what’s up hehehehe. But in all honesty, I have to say I’m glad I did.

The topics were interesting enough, you’d definitely get something out of the discussions regardless of your sexual situation, wether you’re a total n00b¹ at it, or a seasoned professional. Kidder, and his co-host(s) have a nice way of articulating their discourse which is very enjoyable yet very informative.

If you can’t imagine what the hell I’m talking about, then read on (hence the PG13 post)

The first episode I chose to listen to was “grooming” - since I’m very much interested in their input on how to groom in every way possible. They start with the normal oral hygiene (breath, etc. etc.), then go into genital hygiene.

I for one like grooming “down there” - wether it be me, or my partner. To me, sex (and a relationship) is always more fun if there’s nothing hindering each other’s sexuality or sexual performance/confidence. It’s always nice to see that your partner took the time to look and smell nice for you, and in turn, you’ll also feel more confident if you find out that she finds your “porn-star penis”² really sexy. So basically good grooming and hygiene can work both ways and really go far for partners’ sexual relationship.

Anyways, most of what was discussed, I already knew and have applied… but I was surprised to hear some other trivia I would normally not have known. I for one did not know that douching [for women of course] isn’t preffered for reasons other than vaginal infections³ I for one did not know that even a man’s nails can be an issue (even if you try your darndest to make sure it doesn’t hit their sensitive areas) - I guess it’s just like how women’s teeth can be a nuisance when they’re giving head⁴. I also didn’t know that one of the theories for the existence and primary function of the G-spot is for childbirth.

Another bit of trivia I’m still contemplating on is the whole pheromone thing. I know it exists, but in the podcast, the host says that when he switched deodorants, women literally we’re coming up to him more often than before. Apparently his old deodorant was suppressing his natural pheromones. I was just inclined to think that he probably just looked and carried himself better during the time he was being hit-on by women… but that’s not the point - my point is the discussions were really interesting.

Basically what you’ve just read is also the style of exposition used in the podcast… very matter of fact and direct. For as long as you can get over the whole idea of it being very “liberated” (I know how traditional Filipinos may shudder by even reading this), you’ll notice that neither this particular post, nor the podcast should be offensive, disgusting, or written in poor taste in any way. Just facts, opinions, and valid concerns.

If you do find this information hard to swallow (pardon the pun), then this podcast (or this post for that matter) isn’t for you - and I apologize. But if you share my opinions on this and are interested in finding out more about your (or your partner’s) sexuality, then I recommend giving this podcast a go. You never know, you might just learn something new.

Oh damn… here’s the link to the site. Have fun :)
