    As a sex therapist, I can't recommend "Sluts and Scholars" enough. The host is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and completely non-judgmental, creating a safe space to explore all aspects of sexuality. Every time I listen, I learn something new and gain fresh insights that I can bring into my own practice. Whether you're a professional in the field or just curious about the topics they cover, this podcast offers valuable perspectives and knowledge in a warm, welcoming way. It's truly a must-listen!

    Everyone is not trans
    There are only two sexes (male and female). Anyone who thinks otherwise has a mental defect.

    Supporting pedophilia
    “Minor attraction” is …. This is the most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard of. I’m very open minded but I’m also glued to reality. The reality is this podcast is supporting pedophilia. As we continue to desensitize this society, pedophilia, the darkest of dark, is making its way through. No parent, no woman, no man, no one in their right state of mind would be accepting of another man or woman being attracted to a child. Being attracted to a child is already breaking boundaries as there is absolutely no room for consent. And as we support and accept these terms and this energy that people carry of pedophilia, they have less of an incentive to heal and get real help. Because, well, soon nothing will be wrong with them and this will become the new normal. And here we move into a continuously trauma based society. There is nothing healthy about following trends of this type of thing. It’s wrong, it’s common sense, and they need help. But they need to know that it’s not healthy and it’s not natural. It’s a really terrible path we’re headed and this podcast is part of the problem.

    Peg the patriarchy is not a feminist statement
    The patriarchy when they see this misguided statement “don’t you threaten me with a good time” - using queer sex as an insult is not ok. Peg your lovers, overthrow the patriarchy, and don’t use taboo sexual practices as insults. Unless of course, you are trying to pleasure the patriarchy? But I doubt that was your intention.

    Wonderful
    I adore this show. It’s sciences based, but also inclusive.

    Bored of the spirituality talk
    Feels like an appropriation of eastern religion by a bunch of bored white people. It also annoys me when she talks about how therapy can’t do what this “embodied” work does; there are so many types of therapy, not just CBT.

    Fantastic

  • XixiDV
    So happy I found you!
    You guys rock! Simple and easy, by far some of the most honest, real talk and fun. Even when exploring sensitive subjects you guys just have a nice blend of cheeky and conscious content. Keep it coming please.

    This podcast provided useful information presented in a friendly atmosphere. I wanted to give it 4.5 but given the option of only 4 or 5 I opted for five.

  • TheBelmontStop
    Sex Education 2.0
    Nicoletta is fun, informative, and, dare I say, sexy when it comes to educating us about all things sex. She does this not only through her own education, but also by bringing new and exciting guests to the table each week. I’ve been an avid listener from the beginning, but Nicoletta truly finds her groove once she is able to get intimate with her guests, something that was a struggle with two co-hosts in the podcast’s earlier days. Each week is better than the last!

  • Kgcassard
    Informative and the perfect amount of slutty!
    I love how this podcast combines the knowledge of highly respected professionals with the authentic and comfortable space for the guests and host be themselves, let down their hair and share sides of themselves they might not on other podcasts! Be prepared to walk away with great info, some good laughs, and maybe a little bit of arousal ;)

  • kitkims
    Great and funny sex podcast!
    Been listening for a long time and it always makes me laugh on my drive home. I love that they discuss “taboo” questions we are all wondering. But what happened to Simone? She was hilarious. Hope she comes back!
  • lucywho
    Interrupting is annoying
    There is a ton of great information here and the topics are great if you can get past Simone interrupting. Just let the guest tell their story and get a thought out FFS. Also I am appalled that she did not know what shedding was when discussing HSV.
  • garbagesprinkles

  • HCSALAM
    Educational, inclusive, and intriguing
    I love podcasts like Bawdy Storytelling, but I am also a huge science nerd so Sluts and Scholars is the perfect marriage between discussing sexuality and research. I love the dynamic between Simone and Nicoletta is so honest and open. Thank you for educating me on such a vast array of topics from sexuality, health, LGBTQ issues, sex work, sex positivity… the list goes on. Definitely worth a listen!
  • tatonka_27
    Amazing educational podcast!
    I have listened to every episode and I keep coming back! The dynamic between Simone and Nicoletta is so endearing and they have immense dedication to their listeners! I have learned so much from this podcast about my own sexuality and how to bring sex positivity into more aspects of my life.
