S3 5. Asexuality (with Alice Olivia Scarlett)

In this episode, accredited sex therapist Cate Campbell and her son Diggory speak to Alice Olivia Scarlett about Asexuality - the lack of or low interest in sexual activity with others. Alice talks about coming out as an asexual, ‘blue balls’ and the debate amongst some as to whether asexuals are part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Also, in the listener’s questions section, Cate and Diggory debate whether it is ‘okay’ to break up with someone over sex and Cate explains how you can become a sex therapist.
