What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I appreciate what Heather shares about sexual intimacy, particularly that complimenting someone can feel vulnerable. It can! This is so often overlooked. We think about vulnerability as a tell-all of uncomfortable stuff, but that’s only a small part. Sharing what we like and what matters to us takes courage. Thanks, Heather, for bringing this to light, as the positive spin could help many a relationship, in bed and beyond. I also liked that you shared the importance of getting vulnerable with ourselves. Acknowledging what’s true for us is a form of self-care that leaves us more content in solitude and happier in partnership. Like, I’m being vulnerable because that’s the way I roll, and you can come along if you want. :) That’s your signature style, from my perspective, Heather. Whether you’re sharing about toe-bites from Felix (what a cutie!) or your experience getting vulnerable with a friend, you’re blazing the way for us all with stories from your own life. Thanks for showing us your path so we can more easily find our own. I love your show and recommend it to friends often!

As someone who struggles with expressing sexuality, this podcast has helped me see where my negative self talk is inhibiting me. Heather Shannon is unabashedly sex and kink positive and this has helped me appreciate the imaginative, fluid, creative, and sensitive parts of my sexuality. As a man in this world, it is not always easy for me to share where I struggle with sex or what or who turns me on and this podcast is helping me heal.
