Sex, Death And...

We're Paul and Steph. We met when we each gave TEDx talks on our respective expertise which are death (particularly the digital stuff) and psychotherapy and sex education. These two subjects are tough for most people to talk about but not for us and so, we've decided that our conversations should be recorded for the betterment of society! Enjoy.

Ep 2 - Sex, Death And... The Victorians

March 03, 2020 • Paul Wiseall & Stephanie Healey • Season 1 • Episode 2

Welcome to the SexDeathAnd podcast. The podcast that explores the two subjects we all shy away from discussing (at least until we've had a few too many down the pub).

In this episode we're exploring the sexually obsessed/repressed and deathly fascinated world of the Victorians.

For the Sex part Steph talks everything from the origin of vibrators and the weird sexual history of your morning bowl of cornflakes to using cola for contraception (yes we go slightly off topic, what a surprise!)
And for Death, Paul explores bizarre coffin inventions, the mad mourning rituals, wax babies and how the Victorians still influence odd funeral practices today.
