This week on the The G Spot, Grace speaks to award-winning writer Daragh Fleming, who has been a fantastic advocate for mental health promotion through his poetry, blog, books and social media content.
Daragh reflects on his experiences of sex education and the pressures young men can absorb when it comes to sex and sexual performance. And of course, Grace and Daragh figure out some dilemmas...
One of our dilemma-writers is frustrated with her partner as he won't talk about his erection difficulties, and their sex life has now fizzled out, while another has been faking orgasms with his girlfriend as she gets offended if he does not cross the finish line. Expect solid advice, personal insights and a few laughs too!

More Than A Victim with Natasha O' Brien
In episode 2, Grace has the pleasure and honour of speaking to the incredible Natasha O' Brien. Natasha is a human rights activist whose voice has been instrumental in addressing gender-based violence in Ireland and the flaws in our justice system.
Grace and Natasha discuss Natasha's experience of being the victim of a violent attack and navigating the extremely challenging legal process. And because Natasha is - like so many of us - much more than a victim, we talk about lots more too, including sex education, supporting a partner who has been sexually assaulted and approaching the delicate situation of when you can't stand your loved one's new partner!
