How do cultural beliefs about gender influence our behaviour and expectations in the bedroom? I explore masculinity and femininity in the bedroom and the expectations that young men and women feel to perform in a certain way in bed.

Featuring a lovely long chat with three young men I knew from school, as well as a young woman in her mid-twenties and sex educators Caroline D'Arcy and Ruby Stevenson.

Music by In Love With A Ghost.
