ZM's Bree and Clint Pop Podcast It's our radio show But wrapped up in a neat little package just for you It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast Who's watching a smutty TV show at the moment? Yeah I've watched a couple recently You've done the...

I jumped on the heated rivalry Yeah Yep that was good You did the off campus Jumped on the off campus I like that as well I'd argue the outlander that I've just wrapped up It's got very smutty moments to it

No wonder my mum likes it Oh it's so far up mum's alley it's not funny. How do you know? Hey, don't be talking about my mum's alley and what's up there. I know it's up there and it's jamie. How dare you? How dare you? The hot Scotsman. Well, if you're watching a

smutty TV show, there's a new study that says exactly what you want it to say. Watching smutty TV shows is good for you. I knew it. Makes you feel good. That's exactly what it is. Dr. Laura Clark, she's a GP and the co-founder of a women's health

clinic says, watching erotic or sexual content triggers the release of oxytocin which is sometimes called the cuddle or bonding hormone which can create a feeling of happiness and well-being. Gives you the big O

the big O. The big O. Releases the big O. Releases the big O. Those effects have a positive cardiovascular, your heart health effect. And the idea is that that type of reaction to that type of content reduces stress

and can improve your mood. 100%. I would argue there are times when it doesn't isn't good for you and it doesn't, what's the stress hormone that it triggers that one?

And that is when you're watching a smutty show that you didn't know was smutty and you're watching it with your parents. Oh, it's the worst. Or worse, you're watching it with your partner's parents. Awful.

I'll never forget. Awful. When me and my girlfriend at the time, rented the box set of true blood and when we were staying in her parents' house random choice Yeah Random

In a pack quint And we're like Don't try and justify it On the one was a Kiwi actress No don't try and justify I don't know on what place I think it might have even been me Which is worse

And I went to video easy And I was like I'll get this vampire show That everyone's talking about You guys all like it I put it on One of the vampires Is chained up to the ceiling

completely naked. That's awful. Another vampire is beating them and making love to them at the same time. And my mother-in-law turns to me and she goes, do you choose this? Oh, that is awful. Not much oxytocin being released in that moment.

Nightmare. If you pick the right show and the right moment and the right viewing partner turns out smutty TV, could be right up your... What? Could be good for you.
