Why Is Sex Such A Taboo In The Philippines?

Mga Mars, let’s talk about it… 👀In this episode, Denise and JoJo dive into the unspoken, the awkward, and the deeply ingrained—why sex is still such a taboo topic in Filipino culture. From growing up in conservative households to the influence of Catholic Church and traditional values, we unpack how silence shaped our understanding of intimacy, relationships, and even our own bodies.We’re sharing personal stories, cultural observations (with a side of the Alvin Arragon controversy!!!), and the things we wish we were taught earlier. Because let’s be real—being curious doesn’t make you disrespectful, and having conversations like this? It’s long overdue.This is your safe space to listen, reflect, and maybe even unlearn a few things.In this episode, we get into:Growing up with “don’t talk about it” energyShame vs. education around sexDouble standards between men and womenHow Filipino upbringing impacts adult relationshipsReclaiming confidence, curiosity, and open conversationsPress play if you’ve ever had questions but didn’t know where to ask.Follow & listen on: Spotify and Apple PodcastsNew episodes weekly—because nothing is off-limits here 😉
