Pubic lice are a sexually transmitted infection that, strangely enough, predates humans. Millions of years ago, our ancestors were covered in far more body hair, giving lice plenty of territory to live on. But as humans evolved and lost most of that hair, pubic lice got pushed into one of the last dense patches remaining: the pubic region. Now, some researchers think humans may be shrinking their...

In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna break down what medications like sildenafil, tadalafil, and apomorphine actually do in women, why researchers became interested in them in the first place, and...

Shameless Care and Robert were featured in the Daily Mail. Some of the comments called Robert ugly. Ouch. So naturally, we’re making chicken salad out of chicken poop and turning internet cruelty into a science episode. Are we more or less attractive than we think? Is there any objective way to measure beauty? Why can one person find you hot while another thinks you look like a haunted thumb? And...

Why does STI testing feel like a coin flip on whether you’ll get a surprise bill? In this episode, we untangle the American health insurance system piece by piece — from the eight different coverage categories you might fall into, to the ACA preventive services mandate that makes HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and hepatitis screening legally free on most plans. But “free” comes with asterisk...

Most people don’t actually want to be non-monogamous. What they want is what non-monogamy represents: novelty, attention, validation, and a break from routine. In this episode, we talk about how to tap into that energy without having sex with other people or blowing up your relationship. We walk through a handful of ways to “tease” non-monogamy: Strip clubs Sex clubs Porn Cam sites and digital fli...

What’s actually inside gas station “male enhancement” pills? In this episode, we bought over-the-counter sexual enhancement pills from a gas station and sent them to a lab for analysis. The results revealed the presence of sildenafil, which is illegal. That's right, hundreds of thousands of gas stations sell illegal drugs every, single day.  We break down: • What’s really in gas station sex p...

Pickup artists are one of the most controversial subcultures in modern dating advice. Some people see them as manipulative.

Nearly 90% of all medications taken in the United States are generic drugs, and roughly 80% of those are manufactured overseas in countries like China, India, and Turkey. But it was not always this way. Before 1984, only about 10% of prescriptions were generic, and most medications were manufactured in the United States. So what changed? In this episode, we break down the history of generic drugs,...

The more things change, the more they stay the same — and Valentine’s Day has always been about sex. Long before heart-shaped chocolates and prix-fixe dinners, Valentine’s Day involved nearly naked young Roman men running through the streets and whipping women with goat skins to promote fertility. And yes — women lined up for it. In this episode, the Sex Is Good podcast team dives into the sexy, s...

Erections aren’t always a blood flow problem. In this episode, we break down apomorphine, an ED medication that works in the brain, not the penis. Unlike sildenafil or tadalafil, apomorphine targets dopamine pathways involved in sexual arousal, motivation, and performance anxiety. Rugiet has been advertised apomorphine a lot, but is it safe? Is it effective?  Wasn't it used to induce vomiting...

BDSM is one of the most misunderstood areas of human sexuality.

Bremelanotide, also known as PT-141, is one of the most misunderstood sexual health medications available today, and it has one of the strangest origin stories in modern medicine. It was originally studied as a tanning drug, but researchers noticed an unexpected side effect—spontaneous erections. That discovery led scientists to remove the skin-darkening component, resulting in bremelanotide as we...

Hedonism II is a resort in Jamaica that’s split between two worlds: half clothing-optional, half nude-mandatory. It’s a place intentionally designed for adults who want freedom, curiosity, and connection without judgment. Yes, people can have sex under the moon and stars. But they can also spend the day by the pool, dance all night long, and end up talking to a stranger in a hot tub at 4 a.m. who...
