The Imperfects · Sex for Normal People with Ita O'Brien · 26 Jul 2026 podcast

Because you're a sexy man.

It's funny what you said before, Ryan, about that the womb is involved because I agree with you.

Before I had kids, it just hadn't – before we had kids, me and my wife, I had never really – I'd kind of forgotten that part.

And then suddenly it became very obvious that that's a big part of it.

But it makes me also think that –

Our bodies change after birth and therefore intimacy changes after you have kids, not just because there are kids that take up a lot of your time and distracting, but people's bodies change.

I think that can be a very challenging thing for many people to navigate that successfully.

You mentioned there that your What Was Once Private can become public to nurses and doctors, but in a film that you've coordinated can also become public to petrol station attendants, which I have to say this is... I'm referencing We Live In Time and the birth scene in that.

I don't know if there's a question here, but I just want to commend you and Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield and the other actors and people involved because for me...

I watched that at work for the first time.

I was very emotional very quickly because...

I remember how much the first time that we had, my wife gave birth, I couldn't, it was really hard to describe and I still struggle to describe what an intimate moment that is in that it feels like there's nothing else in the world happening except for this and that this is the most remarkable thing to have ever happened in the world, even though it's probably happening in the room next door.

And somehow you managed to capture that feeling in a petrol station toilet in that film.

Not just you, I guess everyone involved, but it's the most accurate and realistic.

Our child was not given birth in a petrol station, but it was still one of the most accurate thing I've ever seen on screen that took me back to that moment.

And also that the birth was kind of taken seriously, I think, as strangely as that sounds, that it wasn't either a comedy bit or...

I think one of the beauties of your work is that when you tell things accurately, they are given the respect that they deserve.

And there's beauty in that.

And that really came through.

Yeah, awkward gynecologist, that's it.
