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.

First sexual experiences can be messy, magical, confusing, or completely unexpected and for queer people, they often come with extra layers of identity, uncertainty, and unspoken questions.
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Mallory — a sexologist and educator — to unpack how cultural narratives, internalized pressures, and a lack of clear communication can shape queer first times. Together, we explore the myths, the realities, and why consent and self-trust are so essential.
And in a moving listener story, you’ll hear how one man’s first time wasn’t a single moment, but a personal journey that unfolded over years.
Whether you’re still figuring things out or reflecting on your own past, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt unsure, unseen, or just... human.
