First off, thanks for being curious about the show! 

The Sex Gets Real podcast is now retired, though we are so proud of everything we did and created during those five years. 

The show was launched in January 2014, when Dawn Serra and Dylan Payne heard some horrible advice about strap-on sex on a porn podcast. Deciding the world needed our voices, we grabbed a recorder and started talking.

No plan, no experience in podcasting. Just a need to set the record straight in our own silly, loving ways.

After two years, Dylan had to leave the show for professional reasons, and Dawn Serra continued solo, interviewing world-renowned experts and fielding your amazing questions from a place of compassion, curiosity, and a fierce commitment to inclusion and justice.

Sex Gets Real is an honest, down-to-earth look at sex, BDSM, kink, relationships, bodies, queer culture, and everything in between.

The goal of the show was to offer a sex-positive, kink-informed, trauma-informed, feminist, queer look at sex that's free of shame, coercion, and the harmful myths perpetuated by society.
