10: AI= Artificial Intimacy? Rethinking Desire, Authenticity and Personal Responsibility

Send Kaamna a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2447820/open_sms] What if loneliness were as dangerous as smoking—and your next soulmate were an algorithm? In the season finale of Sex, Tech, & Spirituality, I'm sitting down with media powerhouse Cory Corinne and creative entrepreneur Dion McIntosh for a no-holds-barred conversation about intimacy, identity, and connection in the age of AI. From emotional robots to the fragility of modern masculinity, we unpack the loneliness epidemic, platonic love, and whether tech is killing real relationships or giving us a new path to self-awareness. Raw, curious, and deeply human, this episode challenges everything you thought you knew about love, friendship, and what it means to be seen.

9: Could Your Next Lover Be A Robot? With Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix

Send Kaamna a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2447820/open_sms] What if your next best friend, therapist, or even partner wasn’t human—but a lifelike robot? In this episode, I’m joined by Andrew Kiguel, a tech pioneer who’s been working at the frontier of humanoid robotics. What fascinated me most about Andrew isn’t just the technology he’s helping to build—it’s the bigger questions it raises about connection, care, and what it means to be human. We discuss modular robots with synthetic skin, customizable faces, and how these companions are entering some of our most personal spaces—not just for sex, but for emotional support, friendship, and even companionship for those battling loneliness. We discuss the promises and pitfalls: the ethics of AI companions, the rise of robot concierges and emotional labor, the implications for privacy, patriarchy, and children growing up around humanoid tech—and yes, the phenomenon of $130,000 robot girlfriends. Is this a new way to heal loneliness and deepen connection—or are we opening doors we don’t fully understand? Join us for a thoughtful look at the tangled intersection of tech, intimacy, and what it means to be known.

Please take care while listening and skip this episode if needed. What if your next best friend, therapist, or creative collaborator wasn’t a person—but an algorithm? I’m sitting down with Alex Cardinell, the CEO of Nomi, one of the most talked-about AI companion platforms of 2025. What struck me most about Alex isn’t just his vision for the future—it’s the deeply human place that vision comes from. Born from his own experiences with mental health and loneliness, Nomi isn’t just about building digital friends. It’s about reimagining how we give and receive care. We talk about how AI companions are showing up in people’s lives—not to replace human intimacy but to offer something different—something supportive, responsive, and, at times… surprisingly soulful.

7: Sex & Aging: What (Other) Doctors Won’t Tell You w/ Dr. Uloko

Send Kaamna a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2447820/open_sms] This is the must-hear conversation about sex and aging.  So many of us carry quiet fears about what aging means for our sex lives. If you’ve ever felt dismissed or unseen in this space, you’re not alone, and you’re not imagining it either.  In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Maria Uloko—board-certified urologist—to talk about the intersection of aging, desire, and sexual wellness. We dive into how hormones shift, how cultural narratives shape our expectations, and why the medical system often overlooks sexual health in aging bodies.  I am thrilled at the cross-cultural and interdisciplinary nature of Dr. Uloko’s approach, something I wish all practitioners would embrace.  We also explore the possibilities of tech, mindset, and personalized care to help you stay connected to pleasure—at every stage of life. The power comes from you.  Let’s get into it.

6: How to Save Your Sexless Marriage

Send Kaamna a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2447820/open_sms] What happens in the bedroom is a reflection of what happens outside the bedroom, and nowhere is this more evident than in the case of sexless marriages. (If you find yourself in a sexless relationship, please know you’re not alone.) When I researched sexless relationships in academic publications, I couldn't find any published articles in journals—only newspaper and magazine articles. That tells us that sexless marriages are common, but we're still very hesitant to talk about them.  This episode is primarily focused on 1:1 paired relationships—both gay and straight. In it, I’m revealing staggering statistics, how gender roles create the perfect breeding ground for sexless marriages, how SSRIs and hormones factor into this, and questions you can begin asking yourself to identify possible solutions for you.
