Get confident with consent, s*x and relationships – one honest conversation at a time. From the team behind Teach Us Consent, this podcast breaks down the stuff we wish we’d learnt sooner – what flirting and dating respectfully looks like, how alcohol affects consent, the best ways to respond to rejection, how gender roles can cause harm in everyday life, and the ways p*rn and algorithms shape our views on s*x and one another. This podcast is here to make those big conversations easier, clearer, and way more human. No shame. No judgement. S*x and relationship education we all deserve.

Teach Us: How Alcohol Affects Consent

From knockoffs and beach cans to late-night hookups, alcohol is so often baked into our social and sexual experiences — whether we ourselves drink or not. But when it comes to consent, the lines can get blurred.In this episode, host Anthony Stefanos is joined by Jack Toohey, Dee Salmin and Tom Forrest for an honest conversation about the role alcohol plays in our sex lives. Together, they explore how alcohol affects judgement, what "capacity to consent" really means, and how to read the room (and yourself) when things escalate.

There’s plenty of practical advice too — like how to check in with a partner, how to know when someone’s too drunk, and why asking for consent is never a mood killer. This episode is for anyone navigating dating, parties, relationships or hookups — whether you drink or not.

Featuring: Jack Toohey (@jack_toohey), Dee Salmin (@dee.salmin) and Tom Forrest (@outbacktom).
