Podcasts have been around, in some form, for nearly 20 years, but it’s only been since the early 2010s that they’ve gained in popularity. From politics to history, podcasts are where a lot of people get their information. Some of the available information is about sex, kink, and love. With your earbuds in, during your commute or at work, no one knows what you’re listening to unless you tell them.
If you’re curious about how other people have sex, why your body does that weird thing during orgasm, or whether your freaky fetish is “normal” or not, here are podcasts about sex you need to check out.

Each episode also includes an interview with the person who wrote the essay.

Savage Lovecast

He still writes plenty of advice, but since 2005, he’s also shared advice and opinions through his podcast, Savage Lovecast. People call in, leave a voicemail with their question or problem, and he answers them, although not always not the way you might expect. Why else should you follow Dan Savage?

Conclusion
Don’t ever feel bad if there’s something you don’t know about sex or relationships. Most of us have had to figure this stuff out on our own. Thankfully, we have articles, books, and yes, podcasts, to teach us what no one ever told us and remind us that the things we think are weird about sex are really very normal.
