Hello, Sealed Section listeners! We’ve got something special for you today—an episode from our MID podcast that we think you'll really enjoy.

In this episode, Holly Wainwright interviews Antonia Murphy, a woman who knows every intimate details of sex and the sex work industry. 

Antonia’s life took a dramatic turn when her marriage fell apart while raising three kids. Many women make big changes after divorce, but Antonia took it to a whole new level—she opened a legal, ethical brothel.

In this candid, shame-free conversation, Antonia shares the events that led her to this path, what she learned about the women working at the brothel, what they truly needed, and what the clients—almost all men—wanted (and yes, it’s surprising).

If you'd like to listen to more MID you can listen to season four here. 

You can follow Antonia on Instagram here

You can find her book, Madam, here

Listen to my conversation with Rachel Griffiths, who plays Antonia in the TV series, Madam, here.

A night out at a familiar club. The pulsing music and low lights create the perfect atmosphere for letting loose.

What begins as casual people-watching turns electric when she locks eyes with a beautiful stranger across the bar. Between meaningful glances and her partner's knowing smile, the evening turns unexpectedly when the mysterious woman approaches their table...

Office politics just got complicated...She's gunning for a promotion. He's the annoyingly competent (and yes, attractive) colleague competing for the same role. They've managed to keep their rivalry strictly professional until a late-night presentation prep in his corner office changes everything...

Welcome to Sealed Section! The podcast where sexologist Chantelle Otten answers all the questions you're too afraid to ask your friends.

Every week, we address two anonymous listener questions. On this episode, Chantelle speaks about cuckolding, which is when people enjoy watching or knowing their partner is engaging in sexual acts with another person. Our listener is interested in trying it out, but isn't sure if they should act on this fantasy.

Also, a listener wants to know how to get the spice back into their relationship while pregnant and after having a baby, and Chantelle has some great advice.

We asked you, our audience, for your anonymous sex questions, and boy did you deliver!

This week, Chantelle answers a question from someone who is in a long term relationship with a man, but fantasises about being with women. She's even suggested a threesome to no avail, and doesn't know where to go from there.

Plus, a very common question about orgasms has Chantelle asking why we're so focused on the Big O, when sex is so much more.
