After appearing on This Morning, a couple recorded themselves having sex and received fury from viewers.
Intuitive healer Lacey Haynes, 37, and her life coach husband Flynn Talbot, 40 were branded Twitter users referred to the pair as ‘weirdos’ and ‘exhibitionists, warning them that the internet can be forever and that they may have their children hear this.
The Sussex-based couple launched their podcast, Lacey and Flynn Have Sex, in April 2021. They realised there was demand for coaching in intimate subjects after Lacey launched a ‘p***y-gazing’ class, which took her to festivals across the UK.
The song has had significant success since then with more than 170,000 downloaded and listeners across 50 countries. The couple also claims that it has helped them to improve their relationship.
Both the couple admitted that they had lost their passion for sex after having two children. This despite them being “hot and heavy” when they got together more than 10 years ago.

Many people were unhappy with the podcast and went on Twitter to voice their dissatisfaction
The episodes feature the couple being intimate, sharing what they are doing with each other to help listeners have more satisfying sex.
They also record their sex sessions and discuss topics such as “u” in the episodes.Sing your genitals to enjoy the complete sensory experience. vaginal canal’s response to the mind’s position’, and ‘how cervical slamming is possible and enjoyable’.
They not only transformed their relationship but also started a company offering online coaching and private coaching.
They met over 10 years ago and told The Morning hosts Philip Schofield & Rochelle Hulle that they had sex a lot at first, and then it became ‘hot’ and ‘heavy’ as the children came along. They found Flynn’s libido was much stronger than Lacey’s.
‘We decided that storyline wasn’t one we wanted to perpetuate in our relationship,’ Flynn said.
‘It was the only part of our relationship that wasn’t working. Everything else was amazing…were we going to carry that for the rest of our lives?’
They decided to invest time and effort into their sex life, reading on books about diet and exercise as well as performing yoga to help them boost their libidos.
The project isn’t just an excuse to have sex on a podcast, they said, describing some of the topics they discuss on the show.
‘We explore healing past trauma, we explore communication breakdowns,’ explained Lacey. ‘There’s nothing pretty about it necessarily.
Lacey and Flynn say their podcast is not performative pornography, rather it is ‘real’, and often ‘isn’t necessarily pretty’

‘That’s what makes it so relatable and what’s made it so popular – people can see themselves and solutions for dealing with the issues they’re having.
‘It’s not just two people having a pornographic experience that’s put on, it’s real.’
The intuitive healer added that women often ‘don’t feel fully in contact with their desires’, they haven’t been able to ask for what they want, and can feel disempowered.
She said the podcast can help them feel more empowered by asking for what they want, meaning sex is more enjoyable for both people, as they are getting what they want.
Among the criticisms online, were comments branding the couple ‘weirdos’, and ‘exhibitionists’
However, many viewers were unimpressed with what they heard, and took toTwitter to share their displeasure.
One Twitter user wrote: ‘Surely, when you’re in a long term relationship, you just pipe up about what you want? You don’t have to listen to two weirdos having sex to find your voice.’
Another added: ‘Why are they pretending like there’s a deeper reason for shagging on their podcast? They do it because they’re exhibitionists. It’s all they do.
The third author wrote:What is the lowest This Morning can sink? This is the kind of topic these people want to sell. Grab a hold of it.
