The HE Word - Men and S*X

Show notes

Men talk about sex all the time. But talking about sex and talking honestly about sex are two very different things.

This isn't another conversation where men brag about their sexual experiences. Let's face it, we've had enough of those! Instead, it's an open, honest and refreshingly candid discussion about a subject that is still considered sensitive, even though it really shouldn't be.

Sex is a natural part of life for most of us, yet having meaningful conversations about it can still feel surprisingly uncomfortable. Whether it's talking to our children, our partners or the other important people in our lives, how do we approach a subject that so many of us have grown up avoiding? And perhaps more importantly, how can we expect to understand something we're so reluctant to discuss?

In this episode of The HE Word, host Frank Zammit is joined by three guests who aren't afraid to tackle the subject head-on. TV host and producer Ben Camille, personality Xandru Grech and counsellor Ryan Portelli open up about sex in ways they perhaps never have before.

From sex education and pornography to libido, expectations and the insecurities men rarely admit to, the conversation explores the questions we should be asking ourselves, and perhaps each other, far more often.

It's honest, occasionally uncomfortable, sometimes hilarious, and guaranteed to get people talking.

Because if there's one thing this episode makes clear, it's that we need to get better at talking about sex, not just having it.

Huge thanks to Brown's, Peroni, Hyatt Regency Malta, Satariano, Holland and Barrett, Camilleri Paris Mode, Verdala Wellness Hotel and Spa, Mapfre, BOV for supporting these conversations.
