Welcome to Open Bedroom Doors Show – Real Talk for Real Relationships with Angela Skurtu, M.Ed., LMFT-S, CST-S. In Episode 12, we’re diving into some of the most important conversations couples face after becoming parents.
💋 Segment 1: Sex Positions & Intimacy After Baby
Bringing a baby into the world changes everything—including your sex life. I’ll share insights on how intimacy shifts after childbirth and what couples can do to stay connected while navigating recovery, exhaustion, and new parenthood.
🩺 Segment 2: Interview with Brooke Kalisiak (Legacy Physical Therapy)
Pain after birth is more common than people realize, and for many women, it makes sex difficult—or even impossible. I sit down with pelvic floor physical therapist Brooke Kalisiak to discuss how pelvic floor therapy can help restore pleasure, intimacy, and confidence in your body again. If pain is keeping you from enjoying sex, this is a must-watch conversation!
✨ Segment 3: Happy Endings Q&A
A viewer asks: What is the viability of couples who try swinging or non-monogamy? I share my perspective as a certified sex therapist on what makes these arrangements work—or not—and how couples can decide if it’s right for them.
👉 Don’t miss this episode—it’s packed with practical advice, expert insights, and honest conversations to help you build a stronger, healthier relationship.

Welcome to Open Bedroom Doors: Real Talk for Real Relationships — Episode 11! 💕
In this episode, we dive into three powerful conversations around intimacy, consent, and sexual health:
🔹 Sex Positions Segment:
Pregnancy changes everything—including intimacy. I share practical ways couples can adjust during pregnancy and why teamwork is the key to staying connected, both emotionally and physically.
🔹 Interview with Dr. Betty Martin – Creator of the Wheel of Consent:
I sit down with world-renowned author and educator Betty Martin to explore the Wheel of Consent. We discuss what it truly means to give touch and receive touch with full consent—and how understanding this framework can transform your sex life, relationships, and personal boundaries.
🔹 Happy Endings Segment:
May is Masturbation Month? I answer the question: Why is this celebrated, and what’s the significance? We break down how solo pleasure supports healthy sexuality and reduces shame around self-touch.
✨ Whether you’re navigating pregnancy intimacy, curious about the Wheel of Consent, or just wondering why Masturbation Month matters—this episode has something for you.

In this heartwarming and grounded episode of the Open Bedroom Doors Show, we explore the foundational power of friendship, touch, and emotional safety in lasting relationships. My guests this week are Byron and Margaret McKie of the Beyond I Do podcast, and they share invaluable advice on what it takes to make a relationship last.
🔹 Segment 1: Sex Positions
We begin with an intimate conversation about the often-overlooked power of cuddling and skin-to-skin contact—especially for couples navigating pregnancy. Discover how non-sexual touch helps build connection, reduce stress, and keep intimacy alive during times of physical and emotional transition.
🔹 Segment 2: Interview with Margaret & Byron McKie
Next, we welcome long-time partners and real-life relationship role models, Margaret and Byron McKie, to talk about the art of friendship in marriage. How do you keep liking the person you love—decades in? We get into laughter, conflict, teamwork, and the little things that build long-term emotional intimacy.
🔹 Segment 3: Happy Endings (Listener Q&A)
We close the episode with a bold and timely listener question: “How important are gender roles in a relationship, and how can I avoid toxic masculinity?” Angela breaks down how rigid roles can harm intimacy and what it really means to show up as an emotionally available and respectful partner.
This episode is all about real love with depth, play, and honesty. Whether you're pregnant, partnered for decades, or questioning gender dynamics—there’s something here for everyone.
🎧 Tune in, touch in, and keep those bedroom doors open.

In this eye-opening episode of the Open Bedroom Doors Show: Real Talk for Real Relationships, we cover sex from the bedroom... all the way to the courtroom.
🔹 Segment 1: Sex Positions
We kick things off right on the bed (shoutout to our sponsor — use promo code SEXYTIME at Mattress Dogzzz for tax-free comfort!) with practical tips for keeping intimacy alive during the third trimester of pregnancy. Learn ways to get creative and stay connected when your body — and your relationship — are evolving.
🔹 Segment 2: Interview with Dr. David Ley
Next, we welcome renowned psychologist and forensic sex therapist Dr. David Ley to unpack the rapidly growing field of forensic sexology. Why are more and more sex-related cases ending up in court? What does the legal system get wrong about human sexuality? From false assumptions to expert testimony, Dr. Ley breaks down how science (and sometimes pseudoscience) is being used in the courtroom — and what that means for real people.
🔹 Segment 3: Happy Endings (Listener Q&A)
Finally, we close with a heartfelt listener question: “When will I know my marriage intimacy has hit its peak — when every answer to sex becomes 'no'?" We explore signs of sexual stagnation, how to reignite desire, and why “no” doesn’t always mean it’s over.
This episode blends science, sex, and soul with the honesty you've come to expect from "Open Bedroom Doors Show" - Real talk for real relationships — no shame, no fluff.

Sex doesn't pause when your body changes—it just asks new questions.
In this episode of the "Open Bedroom Doors Show" - Real talk for Real Relationships, Angela Skurtu, Licensed Marriage Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist interviews Diane McClain, a cervical cancer survivor.
This episode explores how cancer, pregnancy, and pain can shift our sexual experiences and redefine intimacy. From the physical realities of pregnancy, to the emotional toll of cancer treatment, to the realities of body image, desire, and discomfort, we hold honest space for what happens when the bedroom becomes unfamiliar territory.
Whether you're navigating these changes yourself or supporting a partner who is, this conversation is about reclaiming connection, compassion, and sexual agency—even when everything feels different.
In this episode of Open Bedroom Doors, we kick things off with our "Sex Positions" segment—this time, showing real-life ways to spice up intimacy during the third trimester.
(Yes, we demonstrate them in an actual bed, courtesy of Mattress Dogzzz—use promo code SEXYTIME to get your next mattress tax free!)
