The Sexual Happiness Podcast Has Arrived!
Psst. Gather round. We've been sitting on a secret at Lovehoney HQ - and no, it's not one of our remote control toys.
We've been beavering away in the background to bring you a Lovehoney first: the Sexual Happiness Podcast!
Hosted by long-term Lovehonians Jess, Nick, and yours truly, this weekly show features fascinating sex trivia, amazing guests, sizzling sex advice, and answers to all of your questions about living the sexiest life that you can.
You can listen on a whole host of your favourite platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Soundcloud, and PlayerFM. (And if you're listening on iTunes, why not leave us a review if you liked what you heard? We love getting your feedback!)
Don't forget, if you've got a question or a topic that you'd like us to address on the show (anonymously, of course), then you can drop us an email at podcast@lovehoney.com.
Happy listening!
