Together, they delve into the many sex myths Sophia tackles in her book; what Sophia refers to as the ‘sex misinformation crisis’ we’re currently facing; what initially drew her to explore this topic-area within her reporting; the challenges she and other journalists face in getting editors to take this subject matter seriously, and how we can all have a better relationship to sex overall.

Sex Talks With Emma-Louise Boynton
Sex is about so much more than just fucking. It's about our relationship to ourselves and to our bodies. It’s about how we experience gender and the power dynamics that come with it. It’s about our capacity for vulnerability and how willing we are to let others in.
Our relationship to sex tells us so much about who we are and how we show up in the world. So why don't we talk about it more openly?
In this podcast, host and founder of Sex Talks, Emma-Louise Boynton, sits down with a new guest each week to do just that. Opening up discussion on typically taboo topics, Emma-Louise explores issues around sex and relationships, gender and the role technology is playing in changing the way we date, love and fuck.
From writers, authors and therapists, to actors, musicians and founders, the podcast brings in voices from across the board to talk about sex.
