GrownUpLand

17. Sex

Does sex warrant the feeling of shame we often attach to it? How does society influence the way we think about sex? Will the phrase 'bumping uglies' ever catch on? (Hope not). Join Mae, Bisha, Ned and Steve as they wrap their sexy heads around all this. This week, Mae has an impossible 'would you rather' scenario, Bisha investigates sex myths and Ned's been thinking about sex robots. Vlogger and author Hannah Witton joins the gang in the studio and Steve Ali puts everything into perspective.

"Now I’m a grown up… do I have to get married? Do I have to scrimp and save?? Do I have to host a dinner party??? GrownUpLand poses the most frustrating questions. Luckily, Sophie Duker, Heidi Regan and Ned Sedgwick are here to guide you through the bewildering pursuit of adulthood.
 
Through stupid challenges, useful facts and personal stories of rich victory and miserable failure, your guides will ensure you don’t feel alone in your hopeless endeavour to be a legit grown up. Plus, every week a special guest candidly shares their experiences, from failed dates and drunken mistakes to moments of clarity and pet hates. And the very handsome Steve Ali, a refugee from Syria now a writer and silversmith in the UK, helps to put a listener’s dilemma into perspective.
