Fitness influencer fires back at criticism over sex talk

Fitness influencer Steph Clare Smith has hit back at critics who shamed her for opening up about her sex life on a podcast.

In a conversation with Kicpod co-host and Kic co-founder Laura Henshaw, Smith described a recent experience with her husband when she introduced a new sex toy into the bedroom.

After the 30-year-old entrepreneur faced criticism for confessing about her vulgar behavior, she told news.com.au she didn’t believe discussions about sex should be ruled out just because she was in the public eye.

“I don’t think the topic of sex should be so taboo,” she said. “But if you don’t want to listen to that kind of content, that’s your prerogative.

“Our podcast has always covered women’s health, wellness and our personal lives, and sex falls into all three categories.”

Smith and Henshaw have been podcasting for more than five years, and the content of their episodes has naturally evolved over time, as has their confidence in talking candidly about their personal lives.

“Laura and I have built the confidence to speak out about who we are, what we stand for, and cover topics we feel are important,” Smith explains.

“We’re two women in our 30s who are very happy with ourselves, our bodies and the idea of ​​people knowing we’re sexually active.”

Their most common compliment about the podcast is that listeners say they feel like they are friends with the two women.

“It’s like we’re all sitting in a coffee shop talking about things they would talk to their friends about – or wish they could!” she shared.

“They may feel ashamed for bringing up certain topics — until they hear us talk about it.”

One listener recently told the couple, “Honestly, your chats have made me more willing to open up to my girlfriends, and it’s changed everything.”

“That’s why we do what we do!” she says proudly. “Whether it’s talking openly about sex or my recent ADHD diagnosis, the conversations Laura and I have on the podcast help people feel less shame and isolation about what they’re going through.”

She commented after sharing a clip from a recent episode of the podcast on Instagram.

“One night, Josh and I were having sex and decided to use a vibrator at the same time. That’s not unusual,” she began.

“We were just trying stuff, and I was trying something a little different from myself…and I decided to use it on my ass.”

Claire Smith said she was “very involved” but didn’t realize that the toy somehow ended up going deeper than expected, rather than just outside.

“It was just there,” she admits, “and I usually don’t like things in there, so I was kind of like, ‘Well, that happened!’ Josh looked at me like something happened.”

“I admit, it felt good and I just took it and I gave it up and I felt like there was no way I was going to get it out now. Then I got to the top and we both had a great time.

“We had a good laugh because… this thing was still in my butt and I didn’t want to take it out because I couldn’t reach the off button. So I had to crouch down to the bathroom to take a shower like I did before, and this thing Still inside me.

“I wanted to share it because it’s interesting.”

However, many commenters don’t think so.

“What happens in the bedroom to your husband should stay in the bedroom,” one person claimed. “Where is the respect and privacy now?”

“Oh my gosh. Keep it to yourself,” another said. “This kind of overly extroverted sex chat is just too much.”

“I just don’t find[the content]very appealing and I definitely don’t want my daughter to listen to it. It’s sad because I really respect you both,” one parent responded.

“I’m sure your kids would be proud,” quipped a fourth.

Others claim the podcast has strayed from its original direction.

“I feel like you guys are trying too hard to draw attention to the podcast,” one person wrote, while another said they were trying to copy the format of the popular “Call Her Dad” podcast.

Thankfully, many people came to the influencer’s defense and praised her for speaking so candidly.

“Love women who are honest about their happiness. Let’s go, girls!” one person cheered.

“Yes, normalize sex chat! Ignore the haters,” stressed another.
