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.

From life admin to love lives, our screens are never far away — but have you ever stopped to think about how much they’re shaping us?In this episode, Host Anthony Stefanos is joined by Gina Martin, Dan Principe, Blake Pavey, and James Rowbottom for an honest conversation about how algorithms, digital content, and online culture influence the way we think about relationships, identity, and s*x.Together, they unpack how mainstream porn, online echo chambers, and subtle algorithmic nudges don’t just reflect our interests — they shape them. They explore the link between digital literacy and consent, the way misinformation spreads online, and how screen time impacts emotional connection, communication, and expectations in the real world.This is a revealing conversation about growing up online, questioning what we’ve absorbed — and learning how to take back control.Featuring: Gina Martin (@ginamartin), Daniel Principe (@lastoftheromans), Blake Pavey (@blakepavey), James Rowbottom (@james.rowbottom).Want to go deeper?
