What’s stopping us from having the sex we want?
In Free Sex, Adam Zmith speaks to a different guest every episode to ask what a world of free sex would look like. In hearing from kinksters, sexual health doctors, writers, sex workers, therapists — and anyone with a fresh perspective on sex — Adam is building an image for a future where we are not held back in sex.
Free Sex is produced by the provocative and groundbreaking team at Aunt Nell, producers of The Log Books (British Podcast Awards Gold winner for Best New Podcast) and Black And Gay, Back In The Day. It is an inclusive podcast produced by a queer team, with respect to all genders, sexualities and LGBTQI+ identities. From mild to wild, everyone is welcome.

Should we change our sexuality labels?
My guest in this episode is Richard Sprott, a psychologist and sexuality researcher. Richard’s been exploring human sexuality for 20 years but says he’s still “at the beginning” of understanding it. His principle, developing, idea is about ‘kink identity’—which could help us to get to a world of free sex.
The idea is that our kink identities can be just as significant as our sexual orientations. In fact, for some people, much more so. Richard and his colleagues have used their findings from lots of studies to propose that we can place our sexualities into different themes of kink experience, namely sex, power, headspace and community. It’s a super interesting framing that could change how we view each other, sexually.
