The Hook Up

We all know the classic hotspots when it comes to places on your body that turn you on like lips, breasts, nipples and genitals. But what about your undiscovered underdogs of pleasure - like belly buttons, outer thighs, fingers, ears and wrists? We find out all your erogenous zones from head to toe, how you discovered them and how you tell your partners to get all up in them.DM us your thoughts, questions, topics, or to just vent at @triplejthehookup on IG or email us: [email protected] Hook Up is an ABC podcast, produced by triple j.

The way you look can completely change over the course of a relationship. Maybe your weight has fluctuated. Or you’ve drastically changed your style. Maybe you’ve been in an accident. Maybe you’re dealing with an illness or taking medication that’s changed your physicality and features. In this episode, we want to explore what it’s like when you or a partner looks different from when you first started dating - and how it affects the relationship.SHOW NOTES:https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/dating-and-mating/201701/why-physical-attraction-matters-and-when-it-might-nothttps://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/may/20/the-perfect-partner-how-age-affects-what-men-and-women-find-attractiveDM us your thoughts, questions, topics, or to just vent at @triplejthehookup on IG or email us: [email protected] Hook Up is an ABC podcast, produced by triple j.

Over the last few years, the manosphere has been a hot topic. We’ve watched investigations by doco makers, interviews with incels and pick up artists, and popular manosphere podcasters continue to go viral on social media. But what about the “red pilled” men who’ve changed their mind and come out the other side with a new POV? In this ep, special guest Flynn Martin joins us to tell us his story of being radicalised by manosphere content and how he got out, alongside hearing your experiences of the manosphere - whether you started to resonate and adopt its ideology, or if a sibling, parent or partner in your life did.

“Alpine divorce” is when someone abandons their romantic partner in a remote or dangerous outdoor setting like a hiking trail, bushwalk or mountain. The term went viral this year, and women all over the world started sharing their own stories of being left behind by their male partners in the wilderness.

In this episode, explore this phenomenon with your stories of abandonment and hear your theories as to why it happens.SHOW NOTES:1800 RESPECT - 1800 737 732 Mensline Australia - 1300 789 97813 YARN - 13 92 76Relationships Australia - https://www.relationships.org.au/Women are being abandoned by their partners on hiking trails.

While we’re past the days of witch hunts and trials, some people think there’s something magical that still lingers in our blood - some would even call it “women’s intuition”. But why are we now seeing a resurgence of modern women engaging with the spiritual and supernatural world, and reclaiming the word ‘witch’? In this episode we take a look at the history of witches and paganism, and figure out why in modern times we’re seeing women turn to the ways of old - crystals, tarot, manifesting, astrology, even potion making, spell-casting and hexing.

Have you ever felt pressure to have a certain kind of sex? Sex positivity has been an incredible movement which has normalised and destigmatised adventurous, kinky and casual sex. But has that come at a cost? In this ep, we’re joined by guest co-host psychologist and sexologist Laura Lee to unpack whether sex positivity and hook up culture has created a new type of pressure and expectation to perform.SHOW NOTES:A women’s right to say ‘meh’ - https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/oct/10/sex-positivity-sexuality-ambivalence-feminismHow sex positivity lost its way: https://katemanne.substack.com/p/how-sex-positivity-lost-its-wayHow Sexual information (CONT) : https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9825060/5 ways to have better sex in a relationship - https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/experimentations/201710/5-ways-have-better-sex-in-relationshipCouples’ sexual communication and dimensions of sexual function: A meta-analysis\https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6699928/Fetish 101: Vanilla - https://www.hudapp.com/blog/fetish-101-vanillaHow the sexual revolution changed the world https://youtu.be/VdDERcyouWs?si=9icswXNioUtwZ3g0The canadian journal of human sexuality https://utppublishing.com/doi/full/10.3138/cjhs.2017-0017
