Inside the sex lives of Gen Z, J Lo's divisive documentary and Netflix's most bingeable show

<p>Ladies and gents, check your prudery at the door, because we have one hell of a cheeky little episode for you this week, jam-packed with stories about sex, sex and...more sex.&nbsp;</p> <p>First up, a peek behind the curtain of what it's <em>really</em> like to be dating as a Gen Z in London right now, from vows of celibacy to sex positive sex parties and Feeld threesomes, as Ellie reveals alllll the juicy research she recently did for a Vogue article on whether young people are in the grips of a "sex recession".</p> <p>Then Kathleen gives us the lowdown on her favourite racy show right now, Uncoupled, which fans of Sex and the City are going to absolutely love – though does it revisit the same problematic tropes as And Just Like That?</p> <p>Plus, the brilliant book no one is talking about but absolutely should be: Trouble, by Maurise Gaughan, who writes viscerally about the sexually destructive behaviour she experienced in the wake of her father's suicide, which included sleeping with older men for money.</p> <p>Ok, then the Netflix J Lo documentary Halftime isn't about sex at all, but it DID prompt a very lively discussion between us about J Lo's motivations: cynical branding or pure hearted sob story?</p> <p>And finally we both vent our ancient millennial bafflement at the "ironic" trends sweeping fashion right now, from Ketamine chic to coastal grandma.</p> <p>Ps: we are now taking a two week break as we go off and record with some amazing new guests, but we'll be back on September 8th, so don't go anywhere!</p> <p>Please leave us a little review, or DM us on our brand new Insta <a href="https://www.instagram.com/straightuppod/?hl=en">@straightuppod</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Don't forget that you can still redeem your 50% off your first <a href="https://grubby.co.uk/order">Grubby vegan recipe box</a> with the code STRAIGHTUP .
