S3 9. Fertility (with Ruth Corden & Gill Aldridge)

THE REAL SEX EDUCATION

In this very special episode, accredited sex therapist Cate Campbell and her son Diggory Waite invite not one – but two guests onto the show.

They first speak to fertility counsellor Gill Aldridge about, the physical, mental and monetary cost of trying for a child, whether the ability to have a child is a human right and how men’s ‘fertile window’ isn’t always as big as widely thought.

Then they speak to Ruth Corden about her journey with her partner in trying to grow their family, the effect that ‘trying’ can have on your personal wellbeing and about how her podcast, Finding the Funny, has allowed her to reclaim her sense of self.

There’s no listener questions this week but make sure you keep sending in any sex or relationship questions you want answered by accredited therapist Cate who will be back answering your questions next episode! You can email them to [e-mail] or by DMing us on Instagram - @realsexedpod
