We often hear “consent is simple” — but we think that’s pretty unhelpful. People aren’t simple, relationships are complex, and sex looks different every time.

In this episode, we explore what it really means to navigate intimacy and relationships in ways that are respectful, clear, and mutually pleasurable. Host Anthony Stefanos sits down with sex educator Georgia Grace, content creator Meissa Mason, and professional climber Campbell Harrison to unpack what consent and boundary-setting actually look like in practise. Together, the group tackles myths like “consent kills the mood,” breaks down the idea that consent is a contract, and talks openly about why checking in can be sexy, not awkward.

They also explore how gender roles, social pressure, and personal confidence can shape how we set (or fail to set) our own boundaries—and how to change that for the better. Whether you’re in a relationship, dating around, or just figuring this stuff out, this one’s packed with practical insights and the kind of honest chat that makes complicated concepts feel genuinely doable.

Featuring: Georgia Grace (@gspot), Campbell Harrison (@campbell_harrison547), and Meissa Mason (@meissamason).
