Summary
On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things get steamy (and seriously educational) as Abbey and Peter are joined by renowned sex educator, journalist and PhD researcher Alix Fox.
Alix has spent over two decades exploring the ins and outs (quite literally) of intimacy, fetishes and modern relationships. From her early days reporting on BDSM and subcultures, to working as a script consultant on Netflix’s Sex Education, and now completing a PhD at UCL focused on HIV prevention — Alix has seen every side of the conversation when it comes to sex.
The trio dive into everything from the rise in fantasy-inspired sex toys (up 244% this year!), to why more than half of women admit to faking orgasms to protect their partner’s feelings. They discuss the stigma straight men still face around sex toys, how to introduce fantasies into long-term relationships without offending your partner, and whether honesty in the bedroom is always the best policy.
There are jaw-dropping sex disaster stories (including a frozen sausage incident you will never unhear), eye-opening insights into menopause and libido, and practical advice for couples who want to reset their expectations without hurting feelings.
It’s funny, shocking, awkward and genuinely informative — and it might just change the way you think about your sex life.

| 1:28.3 | And this has got nothing to do with the alcohol poisoning from the golf trip, by the way. Not at all, not at all. Now, I'm back in the game. I've not had a drink for two weeks. I just had a slough throat throat last night. But my dedication is podcast and my craft means that I will be here for the listeners. But the audio experience is going to be slightly different today. It's a little bit more of a whisper. I'm actually enjoying it. I'm getting show, did I? No, I can tell I'm pissing you off. No, it's not that you're pissing me off. I just want you back. Do you? I want your normal voice back. Yeah, it's a bit goony, my normal voice, but it's better than this one. |

| 1:39.0 | And I'm sitting with me cousin and my bloody husband. |
