This was an extremely free-flowing chat between Tatiana and I, with us both opening up on our personal experiences of sex and relationships.In this episode, we explore:- How growing up around her brother, his mates, and visiting musicians shaped views on sex, relationships, and the double standards between men and women- Why traditional sex education focuses on fear and pregnancy rather than pleasure, consent, and healthy exploration - and what's actually missing from the conversation- The real story behind Jason appearing on Naked Attraction, including the application process, the manufactured behind-the-scenes reality, and how prior experiences with skinny dipping made the nudity feel surprisingly normal- Red flags in modern dating that might actually be green flags depending on your perspective - including not drinking, religious gym-going, and having a sex education podcast- The connection between music and intimacy, from awkward sex playlists to how creativity and sexuality intersect in unexpected ways- What it's really like running a successful in-person podcast with two recordings a day, managing pre-interview anxiety, and learning to truly listen rather than just wait for your turn to talkThis conversation includes candid stories about first sexual experiences, navigating judgment as a sex educator, and the evolution from anxious question-reading to authentic conversational interviewing.#sex #relationships #podcasters Sign up to indiip for free at indiip.com/podcast90 Day Cold Plunge Video:https://youtu.be/-ER321hoJ4gFully Timestamped Chapter List00:00:00 When Tatiana First Became Aware Of Sex00:04:18 Sex Education Work & How Tatiana Defines It00:08:06 First Sexual Experience & Losing Virginity at 1600:14:26 Generational Differences in Sexual Behaviour & Pornography Access00:18:04 First Time Watching Porn & Vintage Erotic Film Discussion00:22:09 Interviewing Her 90-Year-Old Grandma About Sex00:29:22 Value of Elders, Cross-Cultural Perspectives & Grandparents' Wisdom00:35:27 Naked Attraction, Jason's Experience on the Show & Behind the Scenes00:49:43 Dating After Four Years Single & Anxious Attachment Style00:57:57 Body Confidence, Rejection & Naked Attraction Reflections01:01:24 Red Flags vs Green Flags in Dating01:07:33 Shared Values in Relationships & Compatibility Tests01:14:11 Optimal Time to Wait Before Sex in a New Relationship01:19:57 Music Production, Music & Sex Connections01:24:42 Personal Music Journey & Song writing Struggles01:27:17 Sexual Innuendos in Everyday Life01:35:41 Travelling for Three Years While Running a Podcast01:40:10 Podcasting Nerves, Batching Episodes & Interview Preparation01:48:49 The Art of Listening & Interviewing Techniques01:56:24 Learning from Early Podcast Episodes & Embracing Growth02:02:22 Upcoming Projects & Teaching Sex Education02:04:48 Daily Habits, Calendars & Routines for Success02:09:29 Closing Remarks & Where to Find Tatiana***LINKS***https://www.tatianaashborn.co.uk/https://www.instagram.com/tatianaashborn_https://www.tiktok.com/@tatianaashborn_Join the indiip beta:indiip.com/beta15% Off Bare Bar (CODE: JASE):https://bit.ly/barejaseMY STUFF:Awaken Out Of Context Podcast (YouTube & Podcast Links):https://bit.ly/3tk8FVvFollow Me On Instagram (@awakenoutofjason):https://bit.ly/3RAkKQj
