About Sex and Bacon

Welcome to Sex & Bacon — the podcast serving up unfiltered conversations about sex, love, dating, relationships, and everything society told you not to talk about at the dinner table.

Whether you're swiping right, loving long-term, healing a broken heart, or finally embracing your sexuality, you're in the right place. Each week, we explore the raw, real, and ridiculous parts of modern intimacy through stories, expert insights, and honest talk that makes you feel seen, heard, and maybe a little turned on. Questions we're answering on the regular: - What does healthy sex even look like? - Can hookup culture coexist with emotional connection? - Why are we still so uncomfortable talking about female pleasure? - How do you rebuild trust after betrayal? - Is there really such a thing as "too much sex"? - What do sex workers wish everyone knew? - And why is vulnerability the ultimate aphrodisiac? No filters. No shame. No faking it. Press play and let's talk about the things we all think—but rarely say out loud. Instagram: @ownyourerotic Email: sexandbacon1@yahoo.com
