Colin’s Media Interviews & TV /Podcast Appearances

Frequently, Colin is asked to participate in podcasts and be interviewed by the media about his work as a Sex Engineer and Somatic Sexologist. Below are a selection of media platforms that Colin has been featured on. He is always happy to be invited on podcasts, radio or TV shows to talk about his work and his take on sexuality in general.

August 2026

I had the pleasure of joining Suzanne Noble from Sex Advice for Seniors on a live podcast to discuss my work as a Sex & Intimacy Engineer and how I have helped thousands of women, men, and couples over the past 20 years.

During our conversation, we explored the many different reasons clients come to see me. Some are looking for help with a particular sexual or relationship concern, such as loss of confidence, low desire, difficulty reaching orgasm, performance anxiety, changes caused by ageing or simply feeling disconnected from their own bodies. Others may be questioning their sexuality or want a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space in which to explore feelings and desires they have never previously felt able to express.

We also discussed my sensual and psychosensual treatments, which combine communication, therapeutic touch, body awareness and sexual exploration. Every appointment is adapted to the individual, with clear choices and boundaries, helping the client feel relaxed, respected and fully in control of their experience.

Not everyone who comes to see me has a problem that needs fixing. Many simply want to discover more about themselves, experience a different approach to intimacy or explore what pleasure and connection can mean beyond conventional sex.

Suzanne and I also talked about the practical courses I teach through the School of Sensual Massage. These are taken by individuals and couples who want to improve their confidence, learn new sensual and intimate techniques and bring greater variety, creativity and pleasure into their sex lives. The courses are as much about communication, trust and understanding a partner’s responses as they are about learning massage techniques.

It was an open, honest and enjoyable conversation about sexuality, ageing, intimacy and the importance of continuing to explore pleasure throughout life. You can watch the full recording below.
