Sexual Encounters: The Very First Time is a storytelling podcast that explores intimacy through the lens of “firsts.” Each episode brings together anonymous lived experiences and expert insight to unpack the awkward, emotional, unexpected, and deeply personal moments that shape how we connect. From cultural clashes to awakenings and everything in between, the show dives into the deeply personal and the surprisingly universal moments that shape our intimate lives.
Created and hosted by MaryJane, an international civil servant by day and a quiet disruptor by nature, based in New York. Through laughter, reflection, and the occasional cringe, she’s here to remind us: everyone has a story — and it’s time we talked about it.

What does consent actually look like during a first sexual experience? And why do so many people realize after the fact that it was never really discussed?
In this episode, we dive into the often overlooked reality that many first times happen in silence, shaped more by assumptions, pressure, and guesswork than clear communication. We explore how to navigate consent and communication during first sexual encounters, and how societal myths distort our understanding of what it means to truly say “yes.”
Sexologist Dr. Neil McArthur joins us to break down the myths and offer guidance on navigating consent with confidence and care.
Whether your first time felt empowering, confusing, or somewhere in between, this episode is for you.
