Losing value
I used to love this podcast and I have learned so much from it. As mentioned by others, there is a certain male guest in particular that makes me uncomfortable with his misogyny. My biggest complaint is that lately every episode seems to be one big sponsorship for whoever the guest is. I understand that it’s incentive for a guest to be there but it’s not helpful or authentic and takes away from the supposed objective of the episode.

Misogynistic
I was excited to find this podcast, as it was advertised as something sex-positive and wonderful. However upon listening, there is a male cohost who makes such misogynistic comments and Dr. Emily doesn’t shut it down. In one particular episode, this man says he would like a kegel ball for the mouth to give to women who talk to much so they can shut up. There’s better sex podcasts out there.

Sponsorship grey areas
Used to love this show but lately the sponsorship lines have gone grey and it leads me to question Emily’s advice. Back in the day, there was a clear delineation between the show and the ads. Now, she will be talking and suddenly you realize it is now an ad. Worse still is when she does reader’s mail and the solution to the question “happens” to be a product offered by one of her sponsors and she seamlessly rolls into an ad.
Makes you wonder if she is just taking those questions that allow her to hawk products.
Don’t get me wrong, glad she can monetize her talents but the way she now does it calls into question her information.

Great show!
Very informative and helpful, and I do have a suggestion: using a microphone that cuts down on sibilance, because those s's can get extremely sharp to the ear and make it a little difficult to listen unfortunately

So repetitive
So many episodes talk about the same exact things with very little new content. Also-The episode with Serena Kerrigan was crazy the way they were talking about the date that didn’t want to have sex. If it was switched the other way around with a man talking about a woman that way, they’d be instantly cancelled.

This pod ain’t it. Anymore.
Jenny Mollen “I went into my husbands IG & unfollowed women that he was following.” Emily: “I think that’s great.” Emily’s obsession w/ fame & celebs often leads to her giving really bad advice. Toxic and destructive behavior has no place in a self-help podcast.

Usually
Love the show but the ads are overwhelming the show and the whole gut episode was full of oversimplification and generalizations on the new studies of gut and links to other parts of the body. Please have a real scientist (gastroenterologist) to discuss this important topic. I wouldn’t care so much but the “facts” about SSRIs and “everyone has a leaky gut “ based on one study- it’s not up to your standards, Emily. Also do some basic research on the work that’s been done taking supplements for probiotics- it’s pretty inconclusive but a big money making unregulated industry that pushes the message hard. I know how educated you are, and you know I’m right, right? This was TikTok Instagram stuff- not your show ok

The Gift of Emily
Emily‘s authenticity and transparency around the subject of sex is so refreshing. For centuries so many people associate sex with shame and that has created a stigma that is never overcome by many. Emily opens the door to examine sex in a mindful and loving way, which leads people down a path of acceptance of the fact that sex is not taboo and in fact is one of the greatest gifts of our humanity. Thank you, Emily!

SWE high key changed my life
This is the only podcast I recommend to people. And if I haven’t recommended it to you, I’ve definitely talked to you about something I heard Emily or one of her guests say. It has eeked its way into my identity in the best way, and you should let it do the same for you. I started listening 4 years ago and I still listen weekly!
Four years ago I had a very routine, just frequent enough to save me from feeling guilty, vanilla sex life.. And now I can confidently say I am having the best sex of my life. And the effect it has had in the other areas of my relationship, and our family dynamic even, has been so positive.
Overall, I feel like I have begun to unlock the sexual person that I always was, but had been taught to repress. I still have a lot of growth ahead of me, and I’m excited for it, and excited to keep listening to Sex With Emily every week to help me on that growth journey.

A Must Listen Show
If you’re looking to have better sex, intimacy, or better understanding yours or your partners body this is a must listen show. Dr. Emily talks about everything we are afraid to talk about openly and thanks to her I think many people (myself included) are becoming better at understanding sex, desire and intimacy as a whole. If you need advice I also recommend reaching out to her.

Life Changing Podcast!
My wife and I listen to this podcast and we are huge fans! it’s wildly refreshing to hear a voice destigmatize sex, and provide valuable information on how we can prioritize our pleasure and connection.

I’m hooked!
Super informative and fun! Treasure of great sex tips and intimate knowledge you wish you’ve had sooner!

Shady advice because of ads
I used to enjoy this podcast however it seems like the ads are now built into the episode. Or the episodes are built around the ads! I’m all about using supplements however, structuring Solaray products sales should not be part of your unbiased opinion! That’s just one example. Come on Emily, this is deceptive. Change your ad style so they’re outside of the episode and we’ll trust your advice.

Ads and generic advice
If you love ads and generic advice and repetitive topics, this podcast is for you. I wish there was more value here but I have found very little.

Love it! Please: episode on data privacy and cybersecurity
I love SWE and her guests and the immense repertoire of topics. I have never had never seen her cover this topic so I hope she does: how to live your sexuality in the digital age. How to protect intimate photos, being tracked by apps, what kind of data etc. please invite a privacy and cybersecurity experts on the topic of human sexuality.

From one Michigander to another. Thanks for the advice and the topic that you talk about. Still trying to have my wife sit down and go over our yes/no/maybe list. Keep up the amazing job Emily.

Very educational
I have and continue to use advice and lessons learned on Sex with Emily! Has helped my GF and I talk more openly about our sex lives.

The self promotion is tiring
I liked the show, the content was interesting and handled a sensitive topic maturely. But increasingly the episodes are overrun with self promotion and ads. Dr. Emily even went as far as to edit episodes to add in promos for her live shows (you can tell the audio engineering didn’t match).
Lykaon78
Meh
Kinda basic, she assumes what men like. She def needs some long term experience.

Great show!!
I’ve been listening to this podcast for a couple months now. I really appreciate how Emily creates such a safe and nurturing environment to discuss anything sexual. The content is always encouraging and practical. I can honestly say it’s improved my sexual mental health, and sexual creativity. My partner enjoys the show as well.
Thank you for what you do, Dr. Emily!

Way too heteronormative
Only takes the heteronormative point of view which leaves out lots of different types of people and couples.

Love this show
Great show! Wish Emily had been around in my 20s. Love sharing episodes with my spouse. Sex at 50+ is better than ever!
Sharonezzell
Illogical
I like some of the opinions provided on this show. The facts and logic frustrate me incredibly. The episode about ejaculation education presents an argument not based on facts. 100% of unwanted pregnancies are not caused by irresponsible ejaculation. Women should not out source birth control. We bear the biggest physical cost of pregnancy, which should motivate us to do what’s within our control to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

Amazing!
Emily is an awesome sex educator! I’m 47 and have never consider myself to be a vanilla in the bedroom. I have learned so many new things about myself and my partner! Cannabis in the bedroom is something everyone should try, sex is amazing with it. She had also shared how great a penis pump is for my partner and she knew exactly what she was talking about! Pick a show that applies to you and your sexual life, no matter if it is with yourself or a partner. I think it will leave you wanting to discover more.

Do this with your partner!
This podcast has played a part in saving our marriage. I truly appreciate the open and honest conversations fostered here, free of judgement and focused on constructing a healthy sexual relationship first with yourself; which sets you up for better sex with your partner(s). After 20 years of marriage, we’re having the best sex of our lives!

Learning so much
I literally tell everyone I know about this podcast because everyone thinks no one else has the issues you do until you listen to Emily and realize a lot of people are like you

Vapid
Penis owners and volva owners?? How about just saying men and women?? A little too “woke” for my tastes.
Good content, but it just seems like a platform for selling lube, massage oil, vibrators, etc.

Great!
I love this podcast
Charli McConnell
Very needed!
This show is so needed! It feels good to know that so many people are going through the same struggles in regards to their sexuality. Especially as a woman we need to have more safe spaces like this where we can share and learn from each other! Highly recommended!
Annaresende
You just have to listen to get it!
I love this show so much! For one, there’s actually not a lot of shows out there that talk about, and respect, sexuality for the full gender spectrum. But it’s more than that, it’s more than just sex and fun things to do with the topic, it’s about the mental health behind it and really life in general. I swear every episode opens my mind in a new way! I just love Emily, she’s so relaxed and open and talks about things without judgement. I SWEAR you will love her too!

A pleasure to listen to this show
Hey Emily,
I discovered your show last year and I enjoy it immensely. It is always interesting and informative and, often, highly entertaining. The thing that impresses me the most is the way you respond to your listeners with such kindness and empathy. You are infinitely patient and completely non-judgmental.
Thank you for demonstrating the power that is created by combining intelligence and experience with receptivity, warmth and simple human kindness.
Wishing you much continued success!

52 and Loving Learning More
I made it this far in life not knowing what I didn’t know, feeling a certain way about my sexual self, not having a resource for gaining the knowledge and confidence to explore all the above. Dr Emily’s conversations and topics are so real, so freeing, affirming, and validating. She knows this topic and is confidently speaking truth about this topic and helping bring about a cultural shift from the taboo dark corners of our minds and hearts to the light that it deserves. Thanks Doc.

Wide Variety, Great Accessibility
Even topics I’m not interested in, I still listen to those shows cause Emily is that great. Excellent for anyone looking to have a growth mindset when it comes to sex and increase their pleasure.
LY-TX
No dumb questions!
I absolutely love this show for its accessibility, compassion, and honesty. I relate with their mission of helping everyone feel comfortable enough to talk about sex without feeling the shame that most of us were taught to associate with it. Only 2 notes for Dr. Emily: would love to see more guests come on the show and have a more relaxed, fun vibe to the episodes. Also as others have stated, would love more LGBTQ+ friendly content which would have been helpful to me when coming out. But overall, great, informative show.

Love it!
Loyal listener. Dr. Emily teaches me to prioritize my pleasure and to liberate the conversation around sex. Would love more queer, lesbian and trans specific episodes, as the fact that the show is fairly hetero-centric is my only complaint. Thank you, Dr. Emily!

Great podcast
Emily is a great host. Lots of variety of sex advice, Q&A, and very open to all relationship types. Just found the podcast recently but trying to go back to check out a ton of missed episodes

Phenomenal Resource
As someone who is also a certified sex therapist, this has to be in my top three favorite podcasts for sexual health. I recommend it to all of my clients, as well as clinicians who are looking for more resources and education.

Been listening to Emily for years. Enjoy every episode.
Wish there were more than 2 a week.

Interesting topics, but….
I could only tolerate listening to her slurred speech for a couple episodes and listened to an episode or 2 that were not slurred, so I’m done taking that chance. And realized in those episodes she really just loves to plug her sex toys. Annnnd, the whole “doctor” thing seems super sus.

Love the content, however
I love Dr Emily and the content she gives on all things relationships and sex, however, a lot of the time I think I’m listening to the same podcast over and over again because there are so many ads, is there an ad free paid version because I find myself bored with all of the ads inserted and giving up on listening. Thanks

Hard no
The fact that she refers to men as “penis owners” and discusses children’s sexuality, made this podcast a hard no for me. Where is the podcast for adults who understand simple science?
