The Erotic Realm podcast explores eroticism in all its forms, including the darker desires of BDSM and kinky sexuality. It’s mission is to humanise eroticism one erotic realm at a time.
In this episode I’m joined by Dr Leigh Barlow to explore the things your doctor really wants you to understand about sex, STIs, PrEP and sexual health.
We explore:
Who should get STI tests, how often, and what testing involves.
The biggest STI myths people still believe.
What PrEP is and how HIV prevention is changing the psychology of safer sex.
What LGBTQIA+ people still encounter in healthcare — and what genuinely affirming care looks like.
Why bringing pleasure into sexual-health conversations may actually help us look after ourselves better.
Research article: What is the added value of incorporating pleasure in sexual health interventions? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
