They may talk for hours about positions, pain and pleasure on their hit podcast The Trainee Sexologist, but when fans comment on radio diva Sharyn Casey and her longtime friend Morgan Penn’s “sexual chemistry” or ask whether they “get it on”, they’re barking up the wrong tree.
“Ewww, no!” laughs Sharyn when Woman’s Day brings it up. “Imagine the headline of the article: From sex podcast to lovers!”
But while it might be a good story, the besties have no desire to jump in the sack together, with Morgan, 34, happily single, while The Edge afternoon host and mum-of-one Sharyn, 35, has an active but up-and-down sex life with her husband, The Rock presenter Bryce.
Their differing sexual experiences and perspectives are what has made The Trainee Sexologist such a massive hit, with tens of thousands of Kiwis tuning in to the first season, which started in late 2019, when Morgan was still training to become a sexologist.
Now she’s fully qualified, the podcast’s name has stuck and the second season drops this week. Listeners can expect to hear Morgan wax lyrical on the joys of singledom and Sharyn speak openly about keeping the love alive with her partner of 12 years while parenting their three-year-old son Tyson.
“I love offering tips from my married life and how that changes your sex life – it’s all about activewear and no makeup,” smiles Sharyn. “For God’s sake, please don’t use the term ‘spice things up’. Ugh!
