About the show

GETSOME is a podcast about the sexual stories we carry, hosted by sex therapist Michelle Fischler. Sex can bring up a lot. Desire. Pressure. Pleasure. Shame. And questions you're not sure you can ask out loud. Each episode is an honest conversation about what we want, what we’ve been taught, and what happens when our bodies don’t follow the script. There’s room for humour, discomfort, and things that don’t have a tidy answer. Underneath it all is an unshaming approach: less judgement, more curiosity. Before reaching for another technique or trying to fix yourself, what is there to understand? Michelle Fischler is a Registered Social Worker, Registered Psychotherapist and ASTO-certified sex therapist, and author of Coming Soon: The Unshaming Guide to Early Ejaculation and Lasting Longer.

Hot People Get Herpes with Courtney Brame

Oct 2, 2026 43 min

Hot people get herpes. So why can a diagnosis make you feel like nobody will want you? Courtney Brame remembers worrying that his sex life was over. In this episode, he joins sex therapist Michelle Fischler to talk about what happened after his diagnosis, the support that helped him, and learning to feel desirable again. Courtney is the founder of Something Positive for Positive People, a nonprofit supporting people navigating herpes stigma and helping partners and healthcare providers talk about sex. Michelle and Courtney get into the words that add shame, including “clean” and “dirty,” and why a diagnosis can feel like a verdict on who you are. They also try a second-date role-play: how do you bring up sexual health, find out whether someone is ready to talk, and hold a boundary without apologizing for existing? They talk about what healthcare providers can say that helps, what can leave someone feeling dismissed, and why telling one person you trust can be a place to start. If you’ve wondered how to tell someone, how to respond, or whether sex and dating can still feel good after a diagnosis, this conversation is for you.

The Sex Question You Swallow in the Waiting Room with Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe

Sep 25, 2026 45 min

Take two sex questions and call me in the morning. If only talking to your doctor about sex felt that easy. You rehearsed the question in the waiting room. Then the doctor walked in, and you swallowed it. Maybe it was about STI testing. Pain. Pleasure. A change in your body. Something you worried would sound strange, embarrassing or too personal for a medical appointment. Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe is an academic family physician, medical educator, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, longtime health expert on CTV's The Social, and co-host of The Doc Talk Podcast. She and Michelle explore how shame follows us into the exam room, how a provider's tone can open or close a conversation, and why sexual healthcare should make room for pleasure, not only pain or problems. Sheila offers a place to start when the words will not come: "I'm feeling embarrassed, but I'd like to talk about this." You don't need a polished explanation. You only need an opening.

Does Your Dick Need Rehab? with Dr. Susie Gronski

Sep 18, 2026 48 min

You went to the doctor. The bloodwork was fine, the scans were fine, and you were told to live with it. So you assumed the problem must be you. But what if the pain, the softer erections, the coming sooner than you want were never in your head? What if the part of your body nobody named has muscles, nerves, and actual treatment options? Dr. Susie Gronski is a pelvic health physical therapist and AASECT-certified sexuality counsellor and educator who built her practice around the gap nobody else was filling. Men have pelvic floors. Those muscles get tight, tense, and crabby, and they can be rehabbed. She also has a phrase she gives every client before they get on the table: bodies do body things. About Dr. Susie GronskiWith over a decade of expertise in men's pelvic and sexual health, Dr. Susie Gronski is a Licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, Pelvic Health Therapist, AASECT Certified Sexuality Counselor and Educator, and founder of a multidisciplinary pelvic health clinic in Asheville, North Carolina.

Why Men Choose Porn Over Partnered Sex with Lisa Etherson

Sep 11, 2026 32 min

You promised yourself you'd stop. You didn't. And then you took that as proof of something about you. But what if the porn and masturbation weren’t the whole story? What if they were the strategy quietly keeping something much scarier in place? A man reaching for porn instead of his partner may have found a version of sex that feels safer from shame. Lisa Etherson, UK-based psychosexual therapist and the originator of Shame Containment Theory, offers another lens: performance anxiety can involve fear of shame, and the behaviour we call “compulsive” or “addictive” can serve as a shame containment strategy.

Why Sexual Shame Needs a Witness with David Bedrick

Sep 4, 2026 29 min

Shame doesn’t care how much it’s ruining your sex life. It just wants an audience. But instead of hitting up the concession stand, what if you sat in the front row and got curious? You might be surprised at what you learn (and how your body responds afterwards). David Bedrick is the founder of The Unshaming Way and the author of five books. Instead of asking how to move past the shame, he asks what the shame is trying to say. Because you’re not a problem: you’re a person with a story whose symptoms carry lots of intelligence.

The Perks of Being a Bi Guy

May 8, 2024 22 min

Imagine being stuck in the “in betweens” of your sexuality. You’re not “gay enough,” but you’re not “straight enough.” Your sexuality is constantly oversimplified, or oversexualized. You’re stuck wondering… “Am I bisexual enough???” Though that may not be the reality for all bisexual men, it certainly is a struggle that a lot of people face. Our guest on today’s episode, West, is a bisexual man who learned to embrace his sexuality and accept that he is “enough” exactly as he is. In his young adulthood, West thought his bisexuality might just be youthful curiosity. But, as his life continued to progress and West continued to mature, he came to realize that his sexuality wasn’t a “phase” or “curiosity.” It was who he was. His journey to this discovery was filled with societal pressures, self-doubt, and uncertainty. But ultimately, West found acceptance, pleasure, and confidence in his sexual identity. If you have any questions, thoughts, or stories to share after listening to this episode, I’d love to hear from you.

Sex After Having Kids

Apr 24, 2024 29 min

As a sex worker, Shannon Ariel, founder of Pink Banana Sparkles, always had a strong relationship with sex & her body. …but after her first child, she felt something shift. With a changing body and changing needs, Shannon had to rebuild her relationship with herself, her sex life, and her career. For many, motherhood takes a toll on their sex lives. Their priorities, bodies, and relationships are drastically different than they were before they had their kids, and getting back to a place of confidence, pleasure, and fulfillment can often be an uphill battle. For Shannon, a retired sex worker turned fashion designer, and mom whose identity is linked to her sexuality, this shift was a jarring one that required her to look at her life from a wider lens. What started as a journey to rediscover her sexuality postpartum turned into Shannon learning to put herself first, having the best sex of her life, and bravely sharing her story so that other women know they’re not alone.

Selling Sex at a Cost

Dec 29, 2022 1 hr 7 min

Various organizations across Canada are advocating for the decriminalization of sex work. This includes the Canadian Association of Social Workers, who’s code of ethics seeks to balance the protection of individuals and the principle of doing no harm with autonomy and self-determination. The advocacy only applies to the selling of sex between two consenting adults. Today’s guests, Elizabeth Weisz and Katherine Van Meyl, are supporters of the decriminalization of sex work. Elizabeth Weisz is a companion and sex worker who has been in the industry for almost seven years. Katherine Van Meyl is a therapist who adopts a psychodynamic perspective in the treatment of couples, families, and individuals. She also used to be part of the sex work industry and is creating a documentary highlighting male sex workers’ experiences within the industry.

WOMEN in Iran

Dec 15, 2022 1 hr 10 min

A revolutionary anti-government protest in Iran was sparked on Sept 16th, 2022, after 22-year-old Iranian woman Mahsa Amini was picked up and detained by Iran’s "morality police" for showing too much hair. About three months have passed, and innocent lives have been lost yet the people of Iran continue to hold their ground and fight back. For women, for life, for freedom. We invited our guest “Iran”, who asked to be anonymous for safety reasons, back in November to reflect on Iran’s political regime and how growing up queer in the Islamic republic, where a woman’s value is worth half of a man, impacted how they expressed romantic interest as well as how they embraced their true sexual self. Thank you, Iran, for sharing all of these intimate thoughts with the GETSOME team and listeners Enjoy the Episode Shownotes: 00:30 A short brief introduction of the recent news . What happened in Iran 05:02 What makes “Women Life Freedom” different 06:50 “Iran” is also an old-fashioned female name 08:40 There’s always a fear of getting arrested 15:44 This is a game about how to behave 28:32 Being queer risks facing the death penalty 29:05 Women are worth half of a man in Iranian laws and society 37:54 I knew I was a queer kid when I was young, and I felt lucky 42:50 My mom sat us down and explained sex to us while living in Iran 45:38 I feel like my parents purposely put porn around the house for us to find 48:02 The social values impacted my sexual self a lot 53:23 Some save their virginity by having anal sex 57:03 I feel like I’m missing out on something when it comes to sex 58:26 Even men are victims of this patriarchal society 61:08 What you are fighting for is exactly what you have 65:00 What can we do to support the revolution?
