Sex, Here & NowAuthor: sexhereandnow
Sex, Here & Now is a podcast rooted in sex positivity, inclusivity, and honest conversations about the realities of sex and modern relationships. The goal is simple: to inform, to educate, and to clear up the misconceptions that continue to dominate our culture about intimacy and relationships. We live in a world that is still wildly sex negative, shaped by shame, purity culture, misinformation, and outdated scripts about what intimacy should look like. This podcast exists to challenge that. I want to create a space where we can talk openly about desire, communication, consent, kink, monogamy, non-monogamy, pleasure, dysfunction, body image, and everything in between without judgment. By highlighting diverse voices, challenging myths, and nurturing open dialogue, my hope is to show that sex does not have to be scary and we can, in fact, have a more sex positive culture.

Expert Chat: Julie Labanz on Menopause and Sex
Episode 75
Thursday, 15 October, 2026
October is Menopause Awareness Month, and Julie Labanz is joining me on Sex, Here & Now for a conversation about perimenopause, menopause, sex, and intimacy. These experiences are often talked about as if they follow one predictable path, but the reality is far more personal. So what happens when your body changes, your relationship with sex shifts, or the advice you’ve heard your whole life suddenly doesn’t fit? Julie and I unpack some of the myths surrounding menopause, including the idea that getting older means the end of desire or pleasure. We talk about why perimenopause deserves more attention, how changes in sex and intimacy can affect relationships, and why people need space to ask questions without shame. Because “just deal with it” is not particularly helpful sex education. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause yourself, trying to better understand a partner’s experience, or working with clients who are, I hope this episode helps you approach the conversation with more curiosity and less pressure. Sex and intimacy can change over time. We deserve honest conversations about what those changes mean and what we might want next.
