Why is talking about sex and relationships so taboo? We as humans regularly touch, play, feel, and have emotions - or is that just us? We've found that a lot of people aren't open to talking about these things, but we think it's important to. In each episode, we'll be joined by a new guest to explore sexy and sometimes unsexy topics. Guests may be experts, but the majority will be like us, figuring it out as we go along. We hope that each episode gives you that post-coital glow, and if it does, please, tell your friends!
We had the chance to speak with someone who films pornography for a living. He was open to talking about everything that goes into this.
We asked:
How he got into it
How cumshots are filmed
If he ever joins in
and so, so, SO much more!
Absolutely fascinating episode!

What the app's about

Getting Intimate with Intimate Encounters
Hello, and welcome to Intimate Encounters. You're here with Samantha and today, our guest. Well, that's you.
This podcast was started to have conversations about sex, with regular humans.
I don't believe you need to be an expert to add value to these conversations. We should be talking more .
The more conversations we have, the more open we'll be the less shame there'll be.
We need to make it easy for people to talk about sex
How do you like it?
I like it when you touch me here, but not when you touch me there.
Be gentle.
Come and get down and dirty!
It was the best orgasm I've ever had.
Fuck no, I don't want this.
...going over to a stranger's house to fuck
Yes, I want this.
We need to get intimate with ourselves.
...the body...
Is it okay to piss and shit in front of your partner?
...the mind...
Why am I horny when I'm having my period?
Let's get to how you interact with one another.
We're all connected...
Is it really cheating?
Be the person that you are, but always be respectful.
The first time I had sex was on a bunk bed.
It's okay if we stop.
Can I get you a glass of water?
Now.
Now is the time for you to play, to have better dates, to have better sex - to understand what you want.
I don't really know what I want.
If you're not sure, ask.
Is my fetish weird?
Talk dirty to me.
Intimate Encounters: a place where we have real conversations with real humans.

Are You Idealistic or Individualistic in Your Relationships?
We've been inundated from a young age that "the one" exists. That there's this magical person who is perfect for you and who you will grow old with. You know, the one that you'll have the house with the white picket fence with. This is idealism and it may look different depending on the culture you grew up with, but we all will have some version of it.
On the flip side of this coin is individualism. Questioning what a relationship should really look like. Following the path of resistance rather than the one that was carved out for you. Checking in and acknowledging that you are in fact a separate person with thoughts and emotions.
In this episode we'll dive into:
What idealism and individualism is as they pertain to relationships
How to find the balance between the two
Pressures both internally and externally that can sway you in either direction
Checking in with yourself to get what you need
Navigating these concepts with your partner

Using Astrology to Better Understand Yourself & Your Relationships
We went into this episode with an open yet slightly skeptical mind. Prior to the episode, when we thought of astrology we likened it to the fun horoscopes you read at the back of a magazine.

What to expect in this episode:
What it’s like to go to an astrologer for the first time
Why you can’t determine whether two people are a match by their star signs alone
Why people turn to an astrologer for relationship advice
What birth charts are and how to read them
...plus, a special live reading of our birth charts that blew our mind holes wide open.
