Please Me! Podcast with Eve

Think you know everything about sex? Think again. Pleasure isn't a luxury—it's part of your health. Yet most of us were never taught how our bodies actually work, how to communicate what we want, or why intimacy changes throughout our lives. Welcome to Please Me! A Sexuality Podcast, where science meets seduction. I'm Eve Hall, a pelvic floor physical therapist and sexuality educator, and every week we're breaking down the topics everyone is thinking about—but few people are talking about openly. From orgasms, libido, pelvic floor health, hormones, and painful sex to BDSM, kink, ethical non-monogamy, communication, desire, and sexual wellness, nothing is off limits. You'll hear candid conversations with leading experts, myth-busting education, and practical advice to help you have better sex, healthier relationships, deeper intimacy, and a stronger connection with your body. Whether you're looking to reignite your desire, improve sexual function, explore your fantasies, navigate changing hormones, or simply become a more confident, informed lover, Please Me! gives you the tools—and permission—to do it. Because great sex isn't just about what happens in the bedroom. It's about living longer, loving better, and feeling fully alive at any age. Subscribe to Please Me! A Sexuality Podcast and join the movement that's replacing shame with knowledge, confidence, pleasure, and lifelong sexual wellness.

In Part 1 of this deeply honest and emotionally powerful conversation, Eve sits down with relationship therapist Josh Davis to explore the complex intersections of trauma, shame, sexuality, identity, emotional healing, and relationships within the LGBTQIA+ community. Specializing in helping gay men navigate abandonment wounds, self-worth struggles, intimacy challenges, and emotional disconnection, Josh shares valuable insight into how childhood experiences and societal conditioning shape adult relationships, communication patterns, vulnerability, and sexual expression. Together, Eve and Josh unpack the survival mechanisms many people develop to protect themselves from rejection, shame, and emotional pain — and how those same protective patterns can later interfere with intimacy, authenticity, and connection. This episode also explores dissociation during sex and relationships, mindfulness as a healing tool, inner-child work, rebuilding trust within the body, and the journey toward emotional freedom and self-acceptance. Eve shares personal reflections on trauma recovery and reclaiming authenticity after difficult life experiences. Whether you’ve struggled with vulnerability, intimacy, identity, shame, or understanding how your past impacts your present relationships, this conversation offers compassion, education, validation, and hope.

In Part 2 of this bold and unfiltered conversation, Eve welcomes back Cidney Green for a deep dive into kink exploration, fetish psychology, ethical non-monogamy, BDSM, fantasy versus reality, communication, consent, and sexuality. Cidney Green, creator of the viral “Pussy Over Pain” movement and author of All 3 In Me, shares raw insights on phone sex, fetish stigma, healing through BDSM, open relationships, jealousy, threesomes, and the role of honest communication in creating healthy, fulfilling intimate relationships.

In this powerful Part 1 conversation, Eve sits down with Dr. Nic and Professor Mike Sebastian from the Trust Your Gut Save Your Ass Podcast to unpack what it really means to be blindsided in a relationship—and how to find your way back to yourself. Through a deeply personal story, Eve shares her experience of financial manipulation within her marriage and the long-term impact it had on her life, credit, and sense of self. What begins as a reflection on a Netflix show quickly unfolds into a much larger conversation about red flags, intuition, trauma responses, and the patterns that keep people stuck in unhealthy relationships. Together, they explore how financial dynamics can quietly erode a partnership, why so many people overlook early warning signs, and how societal pressure—especially for women—can lead to compromising your truth. This episode dives into the importance of emotional awareness, recognizing misalignment early, and understanding the role both partners play in relationship dynamics. Dr. Nic and Professor Mike introduce the concept of “resonance” in relationships—how shared values, habits, and everyday preferences matter more than we often realize—and why ignoring small incompatibilities can lead to major fractures down the line.

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Eve sits down with Dr. Jordan Wiggins to unpack how women’s “super traits”—including empathy, loyalty, and responsibility—can fuel success while also leading to burnout, people-pleasing, and a disconnection from pleasure and one's sexuality.

This episode dives into how emotional labor impacts desire, why the orgasm gap persists, and how high-achieving women often prioritize others at the expense of their own needs. You’ll also hear a practical role-play segment that demonstrates how to communicate desires, set boundaries, and confidently center your pleasure in intimate relationships. If you’ve ever struggled with overgiving, loss of desire, or difficulty asking for what you want—in bed or in life—this episode offers both insight and actionable tools to help you reclaim your power and reconnect with your body.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Eve sits down with Xanet Pailet — former healthcare attorney turned sex and intimacy coach, bestselling author, and retreat leader. After leaving a 20+ year marriage that had become largely sexless, Xanet began a transformative journey of healing sexual shame, trauma, and emotional disconnection. At age 50, she realized that desire doesn’t disappear because of aging or hormones — it fades when emotional safety erodes, communication shuts down, and the body stops feeling invited into the relationship. Together, Eve and Xanet explore how to rebuild intimacy after a sexless marriage, repair emotional ruptures, heal trauma, and redefine sex beyond penetration to create lasting connection and pleasure. Topics Covered Emotional safety as the foundation of sexual intimacy Why repair is critical in long-term relationships The impact of childhood shame and medical trauma on desire Healing sexual shutdown through tantra and embodied practices Expanding the definition of sex beyond penetration Navigating erectile dysfunction with compassion and creativity Mutual masturbation and alternative intimacy practices How to start difficult conversations about sex Touching for your own pleasure to build erotic connection Intimacy Equation QuizA playful conversation starter to explore your intimacy style: https://howtoimprovemylovelife.com Website & Retreats: https://passionateintimacyretreats.com Books: Living an Orgasmic Life The Sex & Intimacy Repair Kit Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Please Me!, host Eve welcomes Brent Dowlen, relationship and personal development coach, podcast host, and creator behind multiple shows including Driven To Thrive Broadcast and Dad Hat Shenanigans. Together, they unpack the rarely discussed realities of men’s sexuality, sexual health, including performance anxiety, shame, stress, and identity — and how these factors deeply impact intimacy, relationships, and mental health. Brent shares candid personal experiences with erectile dysfunction caused by stress and exhaustion, shedding light on how strongly many men tie sexual performance to masculinity and self-worth. The conversation explores how fear, shame, and societal expectations can quickly turn sex from a source of connection into a source of anxiety — and what men (and their partners) can do to interrupt that cycle. This episode also dives into foundational habits for long-term sexual health, including sleep, nutrition, hydration, exercise, stress management, and honest self-assessment. Eve and Brent address the men’s mental health and loneliness epidemic, the outdated “playbook” men are still handed, and why vulnerability is often encouraged in theory but punished in practice. The episode concludes with a realistic and educational role-play conversation, modeling how couples can communicate desires, boundaries, fantasies, and consent — proving that healthy sexual communication can be awkward, playful, respectful, and deeply connecting.

This episode features a pre-recorded live webinar from SDC.com, a global platform focused on ethically non-monogamous dating and sexual education. In Date Smart, Play Safe: Boundaries That Turn You On, Eve Hall explores how communication, consent, sexuality and sexual safety can be reframed as essential—and even erotic—parts of modern intimacy. Designed for individuals and couples within the lifestyle community, the session emphasizes that boundaries and desire are not opposing forces. Instead, clear communication around needs, limits, and preferences can deepen attraction, build trust, and enhance sexual connection. Eve breaks down practical strategies for expressing yeses and nos in ways that preserve desire and respect, and offers guidance on handling rejection with emotional maturity and clarity. A key focus of the episode is the idea that consent is not a disruption to intimacy, but a foundation that allows for greater freedom, curiosity, and pleasure. The conversation also includes education on STI awareness and testing, with attention to oral transmission risks and the importance of ongoing sexual health responsibility in ethically non-monogamous relationships. Additional discussion highlights how fantasies, kinks, and erotic interests can be communicated openly without pressure or shame, strengthening relational transparency. Throughout the webinar, Eve reframes safer sex as an empowering practice—positioning communication, consent, and clarity as forms of erotic connection that enhance both trust and arousal. The episode also touches on broader themes of body confidence, sexual empowerment, and community culture within ENM spaces. A referenced segment from a related discussion with Dr. Elliot Justin expands on men’s sexual health, noting the connection between nocturnal erections and cardiovascular function. The conversation highlights emerging smart technology that tracks erection quality during sleep, with research suggesting that fewer than three nocturnal erections per night may correlate with increased cardiovascular risk. Overall, this episode blends education, relationship tools, and sexual health awareness into a practical guide for navigating modern intimacy with confidence and care.

In this episode of Please Me! Podcast, Eve Hall delivers a comprehensive, sex-positive, and medically informed discussion on sexual health, pleasure, and prevention across all genders. The episode bridges clinical insight with practical education, helping listeners understand how physical health, hormones, and daily habits directly shape sexual function and satisfaction. A central theme of the episode is the connection between sexual performance and overall vascular and cardiovascular health. Eve explains how conditions such as erectile dysfunction and vaginal dryness can often serve as early indicators of underlying blood flow or endothelial dysfunction, highlighting the importance of early awareness and holistic care. The conversation also explores a range of evidence-informed approaches to improving sexual wellness, including acoustic wave therapy for tissue and blood flow support, as well as mechanical tools such as penis pumps and traction devices. These are discussed in the context of safe, informed use and long-term sexual health rather than short-term performance fixes. Eve emphasizes the role of masturbation and self-exploration as foundational practices for sexual health, noting how masturbation supports pelvic awareness, arousal understanding, and orgasmic response. She also connects ejaculation frequency to prostate health and underscores the importance of pleasure literacy for all genders. For female sexual health, the episode addresses clitoral blood flow, lubrication, hormonal influences (including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and DHEA), and how factors like sleep, nutrition, hydration, and movement contribute to arousal and comfort. The importance of extended foreplay and adequate arousal time is highlighted as essential for reducing discomfort and improving pleasure outcomes. The episode also explores the orgasm gap in heterosexual relationships and reinforces communication as a key tool in bridging disparities in pleasure. Eve encourages open dialogue about needs, boundaries, and desires as a foundation for healthy sexual connection. On the prevention side, the episode covers STI awareness, testing protocols (including oral and anal screening), informed consent, and modern prevention strategies such as Doxy-PEP. Additional topics include sexual health preparedness tools (“bug-out bags”), and education around common infections such as yeast infections, UTIs, herpes, and HPV, including vaccination and antiviral treatment options. Overall, this episode serves as a grounded, educational guide to understanding sexual health as an integrated part of whole-body wellbeing.

In this special episode of the What’s Your Brand Story Podcast, host Dhylles Victoria sits down with Eve, creator of Please Me!, for a deeply personal and expansive conversation about the story behind the brand and the lived experiences that shaped its mission. The discussion explores Eve’s journey from childhood sexual trauma to sexual empowerment, and how that lived experience became the foundation for a global movement centered on sexual health, education, and liberation. She reflects on how healing is not only personal, but also deeply connected to breaking cultural silence around sex, pleasure, and the body.

In this special feed drop episode of Please Me!, host Eve Hall shares a powerful and educational conversation originally featured on the Shameless Care Podcast, exploring the history of HIV and AIDS—from its devastating early impact to the medical breakthroughs that have reshaped prevention and treatment today. The episode traces the emergence of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s, a period marked by fear, misinformation, and widespread stigma. It highlights how initial misunderstandings about transmission contributed to public panic and delayed effective response, while communities most affected faced discrimination and inadequate healthcare support. As the science evolved, researchers identified the HIV virus and developed testing methods that allowed for earlier detection and better tracking of the disease. The conversation also covers how early treatment options transformed over time, moving from a once-fatal diagnosis to a manageable chronic condition. A key focus of the episode is the role of activism and public health leadership in advancing HIV awareness and care. Figures such as Dr. Anthony Fauci are discussed in the context of shaping research, policy, and treatment protocols during critical periods of the epidemic. Grassroots activism is also recognized as a driving force behind increased funding, education, and patient advocacy. The episode further explores major medical breakthroughs, including combination antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which dramatically improved life expectancy for people living with HIV. It also explains the significance of modern prevention strategies such as PrEP and the widely recognized principle of Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U), which has reshaped how HIV-positive individuals understand transmission risk. Despite these advances, the episode underscores that HIV continues to impact communities today, particularly where access to healthcare, education, and prevention tools remains limited. It emphasizes the ongoing need for stigma-free, informed, and accessible sexual health education. Overall, this episode serves as both a historical overview and a reminder of the importance of continued awareness, equity, and compassion in sexual health care.

In this layered, vulnerable, and intellectually powerful episode of the Kink Series, we go far beyond basic BDSM concepts and drop directly into the psychology, ritual, and emotional architecture of kink with Mistress Audry Lu Black — a professional dominatrix, lifestyle FemDomme, educator, and respected kink community leader. Together we explore how bondage, ritual, humiliation, sexual sadism, and power exchange can serve not only erotic expression but also nervous system regulation, trauma processing, and emotional liberation. What begins as a conversation about rope quickly expands into a rich discussion about worship, devotion, fear release, identity, surrender, and the transformative role of a Dominant who leads with intention and precision. This episode opens the door to understanding kink as both art and psychology, and how deep DS dynamics can create safety, stillness, and meaning for those who crave structure, containment, or catharsis. Topics Covered • Why 20% of the body’s energy feeds the brain and how cognitive load, overthinking, and perfectionism show up in bondage scenes • Bondage as nervous system regulation — creating stillness, presence, and relief for anxious or neurodivergent minds who struggle with meditation • Somatic containment through rope and restraint for anxiety, trauma, and hypermobility conditions (including Ehlers-Danlos and other connective tissue differences) • The paradox of safety through restriction — how removing choice, movement, and anticipated pressure can reduce anxiety and soothe a dysregulated nervous system • Femme Domme philosophy and energetic leadership — what it means to embody dominance, hold power, and create psychological structures for surrender • Sexual sadism and humiliation — how intention, emotional tone, and negotiated meaning differentiate harm from healing, and cruelty from catharsis • The psychology of worship and groveling — why submission, devotion, and being at Her feet can be grounding, erotic, or spiritually significant • Ritual in kink — how structure, ceremony, and symbolic actions frame scenes, build trust, and regulate the body’s response to intensity • Lifestyle vs. professional domination — the differences in purpose, boundaries, emotional bandwidth, and the Dominant’s role in each dynamic • Deep-dive negotiation practices — understanding limits, desires, tone, chemistry, and psychological triggers before entering a scene • A full, realistic BDSM pre-scene negotiation role play so listeners can hear how safe, ethical, consent-based kink is structured before any play begins • The Dominant’s internal process — emotional labor, reading the submissive’s physiology, and creating a safe container for intensity • How humiliation can be affirming, transformative, or erotic depending on the submissive’s psychology and agreed roles • Bondage as an anchor for embodiment — helping the mind exit constant vigilance and enter stillness, surrender, or erotic presence Touch Me There: Vaginal Reflexology, Squirting Secrets & Orgasmic Magic — available here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0AsOZmGPvMiR3pQfVZKfxR?si=fFDg8SQqS7OCQQn5ptYGoA Connect with the Guest To follow, learn more, or get in touch with Mistress Audry Lu Black: Her Substack: https://audrylublack.substack.com/ Her official website: https://mistresslublack.com/ Mentioned Resources Hani Cheng – Talk to the Peach: Sensual healing, feminine pleasure, and reconnecting with your body (Listen here) Hani Cheng – Reflexology: Mapping female genitals with reflexology for pleasure and body awareness (Listen here) Shameless Care — Use code PLEASME for $15 off at-home sexual health testing: shamelesscare.com World Vision — Support survivors of typhoon & earthquake: worldvision.org Eve’s Substack — Q&A, workshops, & exclusive content : https://pleasemewitheve.substack.com/ Please Me Podcast Patreon — Extended episodes & bonus content: patreon.com/PleaseMePodcast SDC.com — Use code 37340 for a free trial membership World vision needs to be at the bottom of the shownotes.

In this layered, vulnerable, and intellectually rich episode of the Kink Series, Eve sits down with Mistress Audry Lu Black—a professional dominatrix, lifestyle FemDomme, educator, and respected kink community leader—to explore the deeper psychological, ritualistic, and emotional architecture of BDSM. Moving beyond surface-level kink concepts, the conversation examines how power exchange, bondage, humiliation, ritual, and structured dominance can serve not only erotic expression but also nervous system regulation, identity exploration, and emotional release. What begins with rope quickly expands into a nuanced discussion of devotion, surrender, fear release, and the intentional leadership required within Dominant/submissive dynamics. A central theme of the episode is the idea that kink can function as both art and psychology. Mistress Audry explains how carefully structured scenes can create safety through containment, offering relief for individuals who experience anxiety, neurodivergence, or chronic overthinking. The conversation highlights how restriction and removal of choice—when consensual and negotiated—can paradoxically create grounding, clarity, and emotional ease. The episode also explores the Femme Domme philosophy, emphasizing dominance as an embodied, intentional practice rooted in awareness, emotional intelligence, and responsibility. Rather than performance, dominance is framed as energetic leadership that creates space for surrender and transformation. Other key topics include the distinction between lifestyle and professional domination, the role of ritual in establishing trust and structure, and the psychological nuances of humiliation, worship, and submission. The conversation emphasizes that meaning is always co-created and negotiated, and that intensity in kink is only safe when grounded in communication, consent, and care. A detailed pre-scene negotiation role-play is included, offering listeners a real-world example of how ethical BDSM dynamics are structured before any physical or psychological play begins. This episode presents kink as a multidimensional practice—one that intersects with psychology, embodiment, ritual, and relational trust—while reinforcing the importance of consent, emotional responsibility, and informed exploration. What You’ll Learn • How bondage and restraint can regulate the nervous system • Why structured dominance can reduce anxiety and overthinking • The psychological role of worship, devotion, and surrender in kink • How humiliation can be consensual, therapeutic, or erotic depending on context • Differences between lifestyle and professional domination • The importance of negotiation, consent, and scene structure • How ritual enhances trust, safety, and emotional depth in BDSM • The Dominant’s emotional and psychological responsibilities • How kink can support embodiment and presence • Real examples of pre-scene negotiation in ethical BDSM practice Connect With the Guest Mistress Audry Lu Black Resources from Eve The Sexual Longevity Protocol: https://pleaseme.online/the-sexual-longevity-protocol/ 30-Day Self-Pleasure & Body Reconnection Practices (Free): https://pleaseme.online/the-30-day-self-pleasure-body-reconnection-practices/ Connect With Eve Website: https://pleaseme.online Substack: https://pleaseme.substack.com Patreon (Ad-Free + Bonus Content): https://patreon.com/PleaseMePodcast Be a Guest: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/beaguestonpleasemepodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Please Me! Podcast, Dr. Eve continues her Kink Education Series, inspired by DomCon New Orleans, offering a deeper, trauma-informed exploration of BDSM, embodiment, and culturally grounded pleasure practices. This installment expands beyond technique into the historical, neurological, and somatic dimensions of kink. A central focus of the episode is the often-overlooked BIPOC history of kink and altered-state practices. Eve highlights African and Indigenous influences, including references to Yoruba traditions and the deity Oshun, to contextualize trance, ritual, and embodied pleasure as practices with deep cultural lineage that predate modern BDSM frameworks. The conversation emphasizes the importance of acknowledging these roots while engaging in contemporary kink spaces. The episode also breaks down the neurochemistry of BDSM, exploring how subspace and domspace are shaped by a “chemical cocktail” of dopamine, endorphins, cortisol, and adrenaline. Eve explains how these altered states mirror experiences found in meditation, hypnosis, and somatic therapy, and why structured aftercare is essential to prevent emotional and physiological crashes such as sub-drop and dom-drop. Another key theme is neurodiverse pleasure, with insight into how autistic and ADHD individuals may experience kink through sensory regulation, structure, predictability, and heightened body awareness. Eve discusses how kink can become a framework for identity exploration and nervous system regulation when practiced with consent and intention. The episode also introduces various forms of consensual role exploration, including pet play (puppy, kitten, pony, cow dynamics), as well as sensory-based practices like foot play, anal play, and the use of masks and hoods as tools for identity, embodiment, and psychological transformation. These are framed through a lens of safety, hygiene, communication, and informed consent. Throughout the episode, Eve reinforces a trauma-informed, sex-positive approach to kink, including clear guidance on negotiation, boundary-setting, and aftercare. Clinical concepts such as medical play are also introduced in a non-sexual, educational context to highlight the spectrum of therapeutic role-play possibilities. This episode serves as both an educational guide and a cultural reflection on kink, offering listeners practical tools, historical context, and embodied practices for exploring pleasure safely and consciously. What You’ll Learn • The BIPOC historical roots of kink and ritualized altered states • The cultural significance of Yoruba traditions and Oshun in embodiment practices • How subspace and domspace affect the nervous system and brain chemistry • Why aftercare is essential to prevent sub-drop and dom-drop • The connection between BDSM, meditation, and somatic therapy • How neurodivergence influences kink preferences and sensory experience • The basics of pet play and sensory identity exploration • Safe practices for masks, gear, and role-based dynamics • Trauma-informed approaches to kink negotiation and consent • The role of medical play and structured role-play in therapeutic exploration Resources from Eve The Sexual Longevity Protocol: https://pleaseme.online/the-sexual-longevity-protocol/ 30-Day Self-Pleasure & Body Reconnection Practices (Free): https://pleaseme.online/the-30-day-self-pleasure-body-reconnection-practices/ Connect With Eve Website: https://pleaseme.online Substack: https://pleaseme.substack.com Patreon (Ad-Free + Bonus Content): https://patreon.com/PleaseMePodcast Be a Guest: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/beaguestonpleasemepodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

In this insightful and education-focused episode, Eve sits down with Maeve McBride—a BDSM educator, intuitive top, sexological herbalist, and Executive Director of KinkFest—to explore the foundations of Intuitive Topping, consent-based power exchange, and embodied awareness within kink dynamics. Drawing from teachings shared at DomCon and Maeve’s signature “Intuitive Topping” framework, this conversation breaks down what it really means to engage in BDSM with presence, communication, and responsibility. Rather than relying on assumptions or scripted dynamics, Maeve emphasizes intuitive topping as a skill built through observation, feedback, and real-time attunement. Together, Eve and Maeve explore how different roles—Dom, Sub, Top, Bottom, Switch, and Vers—function within negotiated scenes, and how clarity, consent, and aftercare form the foundation of safe and meaningful kink experiences. The episode also highlights how kink is not always sexual, but can instead serve as a space for emotional release, embodiment, exploration, and connection. A key focus of the conversation is how intuitive topping is not “psychic ability,” but a refined practice of reading subtle cues such as breath patterns, movement shifts, vocal responses, and body language. Maeve also discusses how neurodivergence can influence sensation, communication styles, and the way individuals express pleasure or discomfort. The episode includes a real-time negotiation demonstration between Eve and Maeve, offering listeners a grounded example of how consent conversations, boundaries, and scene structure are established in practice.
