Spicy Special: Exploring Safety, Sex, and Connection with Aubrey Aust Artwork

Spicy Spectrum

An award-nominated podcast that dives into male desire, sex, and fantasy through the lived experience of an adult industry professional. I talk about the topics most people are curious about but rarely hear explored this openly: kink, intimacy, pleasure, and what it’s like behind the scenes. Whether you're part of the kink community, a man looking to feel heard, or a woman open to understanding male sexuality (and your own) in a new light, you’ll find raw truth, depth, and connection here. My guests range from experts to adult professionals, and together we challenge assumptions and explore what makes us human and what turns us on.

I’m also the founder of Design Your Dreamgirl™, an award-nominated fantasy fulfillment experience that reimagines personal connection.

In this Spicy Special, Aubrey Aust — a researcher, writer, and master's candidate at NYU — shares her insights into how we build safety, trust, and connection in intimate relationships. She explores the role of attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and neuroception in helping us feel truly secure with a partner. Aubrey also unpacks how attachment styles shape intimacy and why men's vulnerabilities around sexuality are often overlooked. Finally, she highlights the importance of care, ethics, and emotional safety in creating deeper, more fulfilling connections.
