Straight In, No Kissing with Pádraig Wilson McCarthy

The G Spot with Grace Alice

Grace is joined this week by content creator and host of The Voicenote and Queeriosity...hailing from Ireland's real capital, it’s Pádraig Wilson McCarthy! Pádraig and Grace chat and cackle their way through many different topics, from the lighter to the heavier and plenty in between. They talk about not having a clue about sex when growing up, the pain of watching sex scenes with your parents (Pádraig watched Saltburn with his mam, bless his heart), silly nicknames for our genitals, normalising how different relationship structures suit different people, telling your partner if you're tempted to cheat, making the incredibly difficult decision between staying in your current relationship or pursuing a new one, how having a 'good body' won't make you good at sex, believing partners when they compliment us, body image difficulties in the bedroom, getting out of our heads and into the moment, Beyoncé and Jay-Z...the list goes on.

As Grace flagged in the intro to this ep, there are some references to body image difficulties and disordered eating. You can contact Bodywhys for support. Their website has lots of info and can be found at www.bodywhys.ie. You can call their helpline on 01-2107906 or access their email support service via [e-mail].
