The script you were handed about sex and relationships was never written for you. And if you are neuroqueer, it probably never even came close.

In this episode, I sit down with Emily Zawadzki, also known as Emily Zed Sex Ed, a Canadian queer sex educator, coach, and support worker with over 10 years of experience supporting kinky neuroqueer folks. We talk about what it means to be neuroqueer, how social conditioning shapes the way we think about sex and relationships long before we even start having them, and how masking shows up in the bedroom in ways we might not even recognize. Emily also shares how her wife's ADHD diagnosis transformed the way they communicate and connect, and why redefining what intimacy looks like is one of the most liberating things a neuroqueer person can do.

We also talk about:

• how to tell the difference between a genuine desire and an inherited cultural script

• why sensory accommodations can actually create more eroticism, not less

• why sexual confidence is not about experience but about self-awareness and having your own sexy toolkit

• the huge overlap between neurodivergence and kink

• what neurotypical partners can do to show up better for their neuroqueer loves

If you have ever felt like you were performing in your relationships, or wondered why the standard relationship script never quite fit, this episode is your permission slip to throw it out and write your own.
