Sexual intimacy and romantic relationships are a huge part of most people's lives, and yet when it comes to practical guidance on how to navigate either, we're given very little to go on.

Enter... The Good Sex Project.

A podcast about good sex, good relationships - and how to have them. 

This enlightening podcast series is hosted by Melody Thomas, the brilliant creator and host of award-winning sexuality podcast BANG! 

Using intimate interviews with New Zealanders from all ages and backgrounds, Melody helps to guide listeners to a deeper understanding of their own sexual and romantic lives, as well as the wider societal contexts impacting their choices.

The Good Sex Project is made with the support of New Zealand on Air.

If you want to get in touch with Melody or the team, please send us a message on Instagram - @goodsexproject - or email goodsexproject@gmail.com. We love to hear from you! Especially if you have a story of your own to share.
