Go Have Good Sex featuring The Christian Sexpert

Every time I turn around, I am finding people who want to improve their sex lives. They far too often think improvements will take too much time or effort. But, in today's episode of The Go Have Good Sex Podcast, I am giving you 20 surprisingly easy ways to reduce barriers to desire. Sometimes, the smallest changes can have the biggest impact. Some are practical. Some are playful. Some might make you wonder why you’ve never...

The news this week is rife with stories of sexual harm. And we NEED to talk to our kids about sexual harm - but we need to get it right.

Last week, I talked to Kristen Miele of Sex Ed Reclaimed, and we discussed how porn is connected to male entitlement, and leads to a path of sexual abuse.

But, in this conversation with Sarah McDugal, we talked about what happens when the message "porn is abuse" goes too far. Just like purity cultur...

Welcome back to Season 3 of The Go Have Good Sex Podcast. I had a completely different episode planned for this first one, but with all of the news about the Cornell 7 sexual assault case dominating my newsfeed, I knew we needed to talk about it.

Specifically, how do we teach our kids about consent? No one looks at their sweet baby in their arms and thinks that one day they could grow up to coordinate a gang rape on SnapChat. But i...

Some of the best conversations happen when you ask the questions.

In this Ask Me Anything episode, I tackle four honest questions that many Christians are asking but few feel comfortable saying out loud.

What do you do when purity culture left you without the words to tell your spouse what you want in the bedroom? How do you reconnect after having a baby when exhaustion, different schedules, and a baby in your room seem to kill every...

We spend a lot of time teaching kids about sex, boundaries, and dating. But how often do we intentionally teach them how to build a healthy relationship?

In this episode, Angela sits down with licensed therapist and relationship coach Ruby Falk to discuss the relationship skills every child should learn long before they enter a romantic relationship.

Together they explore what it means to maintain your identity while caring for a par...

If you've ever wanted sex in theory but couldn't seem to get yourself interested in the moment, this episode may explain why.

For years, conversations about desire have focused on libido, hormones, and responsive desire. But what if the problem isn't a lack of desire at all? What if the real issue is executive functioning?

In this episode, I sit down with clinical sexologist, AASECT-certified sex therapist, and ADHD sexuality researc...

Anxiety doesn't stay in your head—it follows you into your relationships, your marriage, and yes, your bedroom.

In this episode, I sit down with licensed psychologist Dr. Karianne Bilsky to talk about the often-overlooked connection between anxiety and intimacy.

Together, we unpack how anxiety affects desire, arousal, connection, and your ability to be present during sex. We discuss why "just relax" isn't helpful advice, and wh...

Trigger warnings for discussion of depression and suicide. 

Depression doesn’t just impact your mood.
It impacts your body, your nervous system, your relationships, your energy, your intimacy, and sometimes even your ability to recognize yourself.

What happens to women’s sexuality as they age?

Because contrary to what culture — and honestly, a lot of the church — would have us believe, women do not magically stop being sexual beings after 60.

In this episode, I’m joined again by Ashley Odom Rodrigues to talk about her dissertation research interviewing women over the age of 60 about their sex lives, relationships, bodies, identity, and aging.

We talk abo...

What happens to intimacy after birth when everyone is exhausted, touched out, overwhelmed, and trying to survive on broken sleep and cold coffee?

In this episode, I’m joined by postpartum doula and educator Danielle Bruner for a conversation that every married couple needs to hear before the baby arrives — not after the damage is already done.

We talk about why so many couples feel disconnected during this season, and how...

Most women were never actually taught how their bodies work—we were just told to deal with them.

Push through the exhaustion. Ignore the mood swings. Feel confused when your desire changes. And maybe blame yourself when your body doesn’t respond the same way every day.

But what if nothing is wrong with you?

In this episode, I’m joined by traditional midwife Lauren Hall to break down the four phases of a woman’s...

If purity culture was supposed to lead to healthy, fulfilling sex in marriage… why are so many couples still struggling?

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers to unpack the real impact of purity culture—where it came from, how it spread far beyond the Church, and why so many of us are still carrying its messages into our marriages today.

We talk about:
• How purity culture moved from evangelic...

So… let’s talk about toys.

For a lot of Christian couples, this conversation comes with immediate tension:
Is this okay? Is this sinful? Are we crossing a line?

In this episode, I break it all the way down—without shame, fear tactics, or vague “just pray about it” answers.

We’re diving into:

• What the Bible actually says (and doesn’t say) about bringing outside tools into your intimate l...

You think she doesn’t want sex.

But what if that’s not actually the problem?

In this episode, we’re unpacking what I really mean when I say, “Healthy women, in safe marriages, don’t turn down good sex.” Because “healthy” is doing a lot more work in that sentence than most people realize.

We’re talking about the real, often ignored factors that impact desire—mental health, tra...

A lot of men think their marriage is safe because they’re a “good guy.”

They don’t cheat. They don’t yell. They don’t hit her.

So why doesn’t she want sex?

In this episode, we’re breaking down what a safe marriage actually means—and why the absence of harm is not the same thing as the presence of safety.

Because if a woman doesn’t feel emotionally, relationally, and sexually s...

If you don’t talk to your kids about sex… someone else will.

And chances are, they’re not going to do it with your values.

In this episode, I’m joined by Kristen Miele, founder of Sex Ed Reclaimed, to talk about how to raise sexually healthy kids without shame, fear, or awkward one-time “talks" - all from a Biblical world view, but without the shame and guilt of purity culture.

We’re covering the r...

What if the things you were taught about sex in church… are the very things making it harder to enjoy it in your marriage?

In Part 2 of this series, we’re tackling three more damaging myths that quietly shape expectations, fuel shame, and leave couples feeling disconnected:

• That sex is only for procreation

• That having more sex will magically fix your marriage

• That struggling with sex means something is fundamentally br...

Trying for a baby can put a spotlight on every part of your marriage—especially your sex life.

What once felt spontaneous, playful, and connecting can quickly become scheduled, stressful, and painfully outcome-focused. And when month after month doesn’t go the way you hoped, sex can start to feel more like pressure than pleasure.

In this episode, Kimberly Koll, LPC/LMHC discusses the realities of intimacy and infertility.

What if some of your core beliefs about sex in Christian marriage simply aren't true?
For YEARS evangelical culture has repeated the same messages about men, women, and desire: Men are the only visually stimulated creatures. Men "need" sex constantly. And women are supposed to just tolerate it.

But when you look at scientific research, Scripture, and real life, those myths start to fall apart.

In this episode I'm breaking down 3 o...
