EP 297 - Coral Osborne:
Today on The Pretty Intense Podcast, meet the beautiful Coral Osborne, ex-sex worker turned Certified Sexologist, Sex and Intimacy Coach, who's flipping the script on pleasure! Coral tells us the story of choosing sex work to save herself from financial difficulties. It was there she discovered her life's calling. In the rooms of the oldest profession Coral saw true vulnerability. There was no need to hide from the rest of the world, make up stories, or pretend to be something they were not. The clients Coral saw opened up to her. What she learned about men, relationship, and the human experience, could not be taught in a book. Join us for an eye-opening chat as Coral unpacks the mysteries of male cravings and spills the tea on getting what you want between the sheets with wit and wisdom. Are you ready to turn your bedroom into a wonderland of pleasure? Listen in!
Background:
Coral Osborne is a Certified Sexologist, Sex and Intimacy Coach who specializes in helping men overcome intimacy struggles, reconnect with their desires, and build more fulfilling relationships. Before becoming a Sexologist, Coral spent years as a high-end provider, where she witnessed men in their most unguarded moments—revealing fears around performance, shame about desire, and confusion about intimacy. Those experiences laid the foundation for her current work: helping men heal sexual shame, build confidence, and create embodied, emotionally connected relationships. She has trained with the Sexual Health Alliance, Somatica Institute, and Dr. Saida Desilets’ Embodied Psychosexual Method (EPSM), with additional study in tantra, kink/bdsm, somatic experiencing, Jungian psychology, and men’s work. Her multi-disciplinary approach integrates evolutionary psychology, attachment theory, cultural constructivism, depth psychology, and polyvagal theory. Coral believes our relationship to sex mirrors how we engage with life—and that healing the Madonna–Whore split is essential to reclaiming wholeness and vitality. She writes a regular Substack column dissecting erotic experience through a sexological lens and is at work on her first book, The Whore’s Gospel: Case Studies in Sex, Power & Truth. She also hosts The Next Man Up podcast, exploring the paradoxes and misconceptions of modern masculinity.
