For the 64th episode of Private Parts Unknown, your hosts Courtney Kocak & Sofiya Alexandra welcome Diet for Great Sex Author Christine DeLozier for a (very necessary) sexual-dietary realignment. You may not think food has much to do with your sex life, but Christine teaches us that healthy eating and libido are linked. Not only that, but certain foods, like leafy greens, led to stronger nerve conduction, and therefore bigger and better orgasms! Plus, she shares a sexy and delicious sample dinner menu. Christine's book Diet for Great Sex is full of handy sex tips like these. And don't be triggered by the word diet — being thin is not the same as being healthy or sexually fit, as we discuss in this episode.

For the 51st episode of Private Parts Unknown, your hosts Courtney Kocak & Sofiya Alexandra welcome Marika Leila Roux, a Berlin-based Shibari practitioner & the co-founder of Shibari Study, the leader in online rope education. Shibari is Japanese rope bondage, a form of BDSM. The word broadly means "binding" or "tying." It originated from Hojo-jutsu, a torturous method of restraining captives, before morphing into the erotic bondage Kinbaku in the late 19th & early 20th centuries. We get into the origins of Shibari, the common misconception that it's an ancient Japanese art, how it relates to Western BSDM practices, self-tying or solo tying, being combined with mindfulness & meditation, the nuances in terminology between rigger vs. rope top & rope model vs. rope bottom, dominant & submissive power dynamics, plus the difference between power & control & so much more.
