Dr Caroline West has a PhD and MA in sexuality studies, is an unashamed sex nerd and is fascinated by how sex can tell us so much about society and culture. She works in sexual violence prevention at university level, and also works as a sex and relationship expert for Bumble Ireland and UK, and as an advice columnist with the Irish Independent. She is the host of the Glow West podcast which focuses on sexual wellness.

She has spent over two decades working and volunteering in social care and has been a media commentator about consent, pornography, feminism and sexual wellness since 2016. Caroline is interested in the relationship between sex, power, and knowledge, and the weird and wonderful sides of sex. She is passionate about dismantling shame and stigma around sex and pleasure, and works to build an inclusive consent culture where everyone is safe to explore their desire on their own terms.
