Midnight Sex Talk – Kids After football stories and debates about licensing hours, the next most popular subject in today’s news seems to be children; and it’s usually yet another crime, either committed by them, or done to them. Anecdotally, if you sit down with a group of people and talk about the worst thing […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Sex Magick Ever riffled through a book, or googled late into the night, to find the perfect spell to catch the person you really, really fancy? And then, after your shopping trip for ingredients, hurried home hunched over a plastic bag containing four candles, a sachet of cloves and a dead […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Sex in the Movies And we don’t mean porn, for once! The history of sex in mainstream film is a parellel history of our world, whether pushing boundaries or simply reflecting what’s been going on behind closed doors for years, from Some Like It Hot to Secretary, via <9 1/2 Weeks […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Sex Toys – Are They Really Necessary? Thought that might get you reading! Here at Chateau Midnight Sex Talk, we love sex toys; it would be positively heretical not to. But sometimes you have to stop and think: as they morph inexorably from ‘plaything’ to ‘absolute necessity’, have they evolved too […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Easter Anal Sex Special Ahh, what better way to celebrate the start of British Summertime than with a thorough exploration of anal sex. From men to women and back again, via pegging, figging and fisting – God knows how we’ve managed to fit it all in! In the studio we’ve got […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Mother’s Day Psycho Special! Especially for Mother’s Day, we’re pondering the cult of the serial killer, and looking at why these ultimate transgressors, who are on the extreme sexual margins of society, get quite so much attention, sometimes to the point of apparent canonisation. Al Needham tells us what it was […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Decline of the Gay Bar? Back in the 1990s, gay bars and clubs were the places to be. Everyone there seemed to be partying faster and harder, and more attractively, than anyone else. But everything’s changed a bit since then. What we’re asking this week is: have hook-up sites like Gaydar […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Porn Versus Erotica Vintage Midnight Sex Talk! This is your second chance to hear one of our earliest shows, Porn versus Erotica. With guests Robert Posner and Lou Errington, we tease out the similarities between these two supposedly dissimilar concepts. And watch out for the hand-selected worst porn movie titles ever. […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Prostitution and the New UK Laws There’s been a lot going on with our sex laws recently here in the UK. As with the abortion debate, where sex work is concerned there’s the usual forest of moral panic to negotiate, before you get anywhere near the people who actually do it, […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Addiction Everyone’s an addict now, apparently. This week’s Midnight Sex Talk looks at sex addiction (does it really exist?) and also what addiction can do to a relationship. If you’re with someone who’s an addict, (and that could be drink, drugs, gambling etc, or, of course, sex), there are three (or […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Infidelity We really should have done this show as an all-night charity marathon, there’s so much to talk about. It would be like They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? but no-one would get tired. As usual, however, Midnight Sex Talk will be giving you the essence of the subject in just 60 […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Internet Censorship This week we’re looking at the Scottish Executive’s consultation paper on the possession of what they call ‘extreme pornographic images’. If what they’re suggesting becomes law, it could set us back decades in terms of free speech, as well as cause endless misery to those who are exploring their […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Pain & Pleasure BDSM, CP, topping, bottoming – what does all this mean to you? Do you think that the first two are network protocols, and that the others must be cookery terms, even though you’ve never heard Nigella mention them? Or are you a fully fledged member of your local […]

Death. Sex and death. Snuff porn. Necrophilia. A doctor will be in attendance.

Midnight Sex Talk – Media Massacre! We had to turn on our own sooner or later, or at least give it a darn good going-over. In the company of Al Needham, live on the show for the first time, Midnight Sex Talk is taking a long hard look at the mainstream media’s influence over our […]

Midnight Sex Talk – Sex & Drugs Midnight Sex Talk links up with The Good Drugs Guide (broadcast on Resonance FM every Thursday, from 9-9.30pm), for a seasonal look at most people’s two favourite pastimes, and how they interact with each other. Before you deny everything, we’re not just talking about illegal stuff. From Viagra […]

Midnight Sex Talk delves deep into London’s seamy past: stews, molly houses and the clap. It was just like today, really, but with different clothing, and without the latex condoms and antibiotics. You can hear presenter and Voiceover King Piers Gibbon reading out some historical sleaze; Matthew Glamorre talking about Polari, the the gay slang […]

We said we’d go back, and we did. Midnight Sex Talk returned to Cross Bones on Monday night for a proper celebration of the outcast dead, with much singing, drinking and beating of drums. We then processed from the Ship, in Borough Road, (said to be the most haunted pub in the area) to the […]

Your friends have more influence over your sex life than you realise. On the good side, they can weed out the munters and beasts (at least when things get really bad), provide a body part to cry on when you get dumped, and keep the relationship gene pool open by inviting you to their parties. […]

You’d think society would finally have moved on from putting pressure on women to reproduce, and would now lay off all attempts at forced decision-making on their behalf, preferring to use its moral energy for things like stopping wars. But no. Whatever a woman does, it’s wrong. There’s much ranting about perceived overbreeding by (usually […]

Do I really need to explain this week’s subject matter? The rise of net porn has elevated the humble wank to a status beyond all imagining. As we shall see, however, past societies have not always been so kind to the masturbator. For the sake of academic gravity, you can study more here. Note the […]

Midnight Sex Talk this week was a feast of information. A big thank you to clinical geneticist Dr Adam Shaw for explaining so much so clearly. We started off by talking about The Cement Garden by Ian McEwan (1978), which I think, for a lot of people, was a seminal early introduction to incest; in […]

Originally aired June 19th 2005. “We had a packed Midnight Sex Talk on Sunday, so packed that I didn’t get a chance to go off on one about some of my past experiences. Probably just as well, really. ‘Ollie’ talked us through life of a bisexual man, and Marc from Bicon told us about this […]

What a superb line-up on Midnight Sex Talk this week! For a start, we achieved a most enlightening encounter with The Reverend D Wayne Love of Alabama 3, who spoke from the upstairs room about his extensive exploits with the ladies. There’s something very special he likes done with a toothbrush, girls! We also managed […]

This week on Midnight Sex Talk we’re taking you on a journey from body piercing to full-on labiaplasty. For decorative purposes, or a fetish, people do all sorts of striking but painful-looking things to themselves: Warning! This is not for the squeamish!. Actually, nor are these: split tongue, decorative penile implants and split penis. But […]
