Welcome to Sexual Encounters: The Very First Time, a storytelling podcast about first sexual experiences, intimacy, relationships, and the emotional realities behind them. Hosted by MaryJane, this debut episode explores the awkward, funny, emotional, and sometimes cringeworthy moments that shape how we experience sex and connection for the very first time.
Joined by award-winning sexologist and relationship therapist Dr. Markie Twist, MaryJane unpacks common myths about virginity, first-time sex, consent, performance pressure, and societal expectations around intimacy and relationships. Together, they explore how movies, culture, friends, and social expectations shape the way people think their first sexual experience “should” happen—and why reality is often far more personal and complicated.
From humorous stories to vulnerable reflections, this episode creates a safe, non-judgmental space for conversations about sexuality, emotional connection, and self-discovery. Whether your first time was magical, messy, awkward, or you’re still waiting for it to happen, this conversation is a reminder that there’s no single “right” way to experience intimacy.
Tune in and join the conversation about sex, relationships, consent, and the journey from expectation to reality.
