Periods: Why So Taboo?
March 18, 2024 12:00 - 22 minutes - 41.3 MBAunt Flo, Shark Week, Time of the Month. What is your favourite euphemism to avoid saying the word menstruation? Menstruation happens to half of the population at some point in their lives, but it is taboo in many places. This taboo prevents us from talking openly about menstruation and the menstrual cycle because it is seen as icky and gross. Of all the topics related to sex, the menstrual cycle might be the most shrouded in mystery. How much pain is normal during your period? Is PMS real?...
Love is Blind and Birth Control is Complicated
March 04, 2024 13:00 - 16 minutes - 29.7 MBOn the last episode of DWKT, I promised an episode on the menstrual cycle, but something urgent came up. That urgent matter was the birth control discussion on Love is Blind season 6. One of the couples decides not to have penis-vagina sex because they really, really don't want to get pregnant. At first I judged them, but then thanks to an Instagram post, I came around and realized I was a jerk. Listen as I talk about why we shouldn't judge them, comment on the horror that is sex ed and repr...
The Coolidge Effect
February 19, 2024 22:10 - 25 minutes - 418 MBWhat the heck is the Coolidge Effect? Sex research nerds will be familiar with this term, but others might not. It is a specific sexual phenomenon named after an urban legend about U.S. President Calvin Coolidge. Sound odd? It is! And the researcher who named it that did it as a hoax. This episode will take us on an oddly detailed journey through rat sex research, examine our human biases about sex, and look at whether or not men need more sexual variety than women. The Coolidge Effect! Wha...
Notes from the Road - Part 2
February 05, 2024 13:00 - 24 minutes - 33.4 MBPart 2 of my 2 month road trip. I visit the Kinsey Institute, attend a kink convention, and contemplate the many abortion-related billboards on my journey through the U.S.A. I also go to the foggy land where the Twilight Vampires live. Sex stuff! What do we know? Do We Know Things? Let's find out! Things mentioned in this episode: The Kinsey Institute Unabashed Con Proabort.com Plan C Pills Do you have any burning questions for us to cover in a future episode? Or do you want to giv...
Embracing the Solo Life with Peter McGraw: DWKT on the Road
January 15, 2024 12:30 - 44 minutes - 61.7 MBBeing single comes with a lot of stigma! We live in a world where being part of a couple is seen as #goals and anything outside of this, whether it be having multiple partners or choosing to be single come with societal judgment. For single folks, thankfully, there are people like Dr. Peter McGraw who hosts the podcast Solo: A Single Person's Guide to a Remarkable Life who shares the joys of being a solo. In this episode Peter will define what makes someone a solo vs. just single, tackle som...
Notes from the Road - Part 1
January 01, 2024 13:00 - 32 minutes - 44.5 MBDo We Know Things? is back, baby! After a much longer than planned hiatus, I am thrilled to bring you a new episode of Do We Know Things? On this episode, you will follow along for the part 1 of my 2 month road trip. I will share sex info and sex insights I learned along the way. Sex stuff! What do we know? Do We Know Things? Let's find out! Things mentioned in this episode: Jami Attenberg’s books (I specifically mention being inspired by I Came All This Way To Meet You) Cummings Cent...
Circumcision Redux
June 07, 2022 15:57 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MBOn episode 53, I made the questionable choice to delve into the debates around circumcision. I asked for listener feedback, and boy did I get some! On this episode, I am joined again by resident man, Matt Tunnacliffe and we will dig into some of the responses we got after the last episode. As expected, the responses were divided! We talk bias, science, and how many things we still don’t know. Circumcision! What do we know? Do We Know Things? Let's find out! Links mentioned in this episode...
Sexuality and Reproductive Health in Fiction
May 02, 2022 22:02 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MBStories are fundamental part of the human existence and have existed since we have had language. We form our cultures and belief systems around stories. Writers of fiction have the gift of being able to create entire worlds through the stories they tell. I partnered with the Frye Festival to interview authors who do just that. This episode is different than most Do We Know Things? episode where I dive into the research on a specific sexuality topic. Instead of science, this episode focuses...
The First Cut is the Deepest: Penile Circumcision
April 19, 2022 00:52 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MBPenile circumcision. It’s a big deal! People have very strong feelings about it. For some it is a religious rite of passage, for others it is a health imperative, and for others it is genital mutilation and should be banned. On this episode, I will explore the controversies around penile circumcision: does it affect penile sensitivity? Does it offer any health benefits? Is it ethical? And why do we see penile genital surgery as different than other kinds of genital surgery. Circumcision! W...
The Nightmare of Endometriosis
March 22, 2022 00:52 - 38 minutes - 34.9 MBEndometriosis is a debilitating chronic pain disease that affects millions of people in North America, but many people have never even heard of it. People suffering from endometriosis are misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and ignored by many in the medical community. This episode follows the story of three women who have endometriosis: from initial symptoms, the epic journey to diagnosis, and the limited treatments available. Andrée-Anne, Léonore, and Maggie share their pain, the medical gaslight...
Lube, Glorious Lube!
March 09, 2022 02:01 - 22 minutes - 20.3 MBUntil Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist Katie Kelly asked me if I was going to do an episode about lubrication, I had no idea how much I didn't know! I thought lube was pretty basic. Turns out, there's a lot to know, especially about water-based lubes. I also think not enough people are aware of the importance of lube. It helps things feel better whether you are talking solo sex, hand sex, vaginal sex, or anal sex. There is a lube for every occasion. It helps for reducing pain and increasing pain...
The Pill, Your Partner(s), and You
February 21, 2022 14:00 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MBHave you seen the many media articles or talk shows that say being on hormonal contraceptives can make you choose the “wrong” partner? Have you ever wondered if this was true? I realized it was high time that I investigate this research to see how the pill affects who we choose. On this episode, I delve into the research on genetic compatibility, hormonal changes on the pill, whether or not any of this matters when choosing a partner, and how smelly t-shirts factor in. Genetics and the pill...
The Need for Nuance in Stories of Nonmonogamy
February 07, 2022 14:00 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBConsensually non-monogamous (CNM) relationships are increasing in number, and there is more curiosity and awareness about these kinds of relationships than ever before. Rachel Krantz, author of Open: An Uncensored Memoir of Love, Liberation, and Non-monogamy is my guest on this episode. We talk about her story of beginning her non-monogamous journey in a relationship that involved manipulation and emotional abuse. We also explore misconceptions about non-monogamy and the challenges and benef...
Restorative Justice: A More Human Process for Survivors
January 10, 2022 14:00 - 45 minutes - 41.3 MBListen. We all know there's a problem with the way the legal system handles sexual assault cases. Anyone who has been through it or has heard about or read about a survivor's experience knows how horrible and retraumatizing the process can be. But what if there was a different way. A more human way. That's where restorative justice comes in. My guest on this episode is Marlee Liss, a sensuality coach and an advocate for restorative justice. Marlee is a survivor of sexual assault and was the...
Mini-episode - The Serotonin Addendum
December 27, 2021 23:33 - 8 minutes - 7.49 MBWhat do we actually know about serotonin and infatuation? On the last episode, I explored the neuroscience of infatuation and explored possible myths, which turned out to be mostly true. But I was left with additional questions about serotonin. It turns out, we don’t know as much as I thought about serotonin and love. The links between serotonin and love seem to be a story we have told so many times, we forgot it’s mostly just a story. Serotonin! What do we know? Do We Know Things? Let’s fi...
Is Love a Drug?
December 14, 2021 01:18 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MBInfatuation. Limerence. New relationship energy. All are words for the intense, sometimes overwhelming feelings people experience in new relationships. This feeling can feel like a drug. There is euphoria when you are with the person and withrawal symptoms when you are not. Others have said the infatuation shares symptoms with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Is love a drug? Is it like OCD? In this episode, we examine the research to see what we know about love. Love! What do we know? Do We K...
The Reality of Fantasies
November 29, 2021 18:16 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBDo you have a favourite sexual fantasy? Dr. Justin Lehmiller asked over 4000 people to answer this question and many other fantasy related questions in the largest study on fantasies ever done. In this episode, Justin talks about his research on people's favourite sexual fantasy, which he explores in his book Tell Me What You Want: The Science of Sexual Desire and How it Can Improve Your Sex Life. Listen in as I ask him what we need to know and what we misunderstand about sexual fantasies. ...
Hiding in Plain Sight: Discovering the Clitoris
November 15, 2021 18:47 - 38 minutes - 35.3 MBDid you know a man, actually several, had to "discover" the clitoris? On today’s episode, I welcome Sarah Chadwick, author of The Sweetness of Venus: A History of the Clitoris. We will learn about the ups and downs in the life of the clitoris: it’s involvement in witchcraft, its repeated “discovery” and repression, and why we need more nicknames for it. The Clitoris!

Does Abstinence Work?
November 01, 2021 22:21 - 14 minutes - 13.1 MBAbstinence is preached as being 100% effective in preventing pregnancy and STIs, which is true if it works. But how often does abstinence fail? In this episode, I try to figure out the typical use abstinence failure rate. A textbook I once had said 20%. Is that true? Tune in to find out! Abstinence! What do we know? Do we know things?

Sex Education: Not Just for Kids
October 18, 2021 18:00 - 33 minutes - 31 MBWhen you think of sex education, what springs to mind? I bet a mildly awkward class with a mildly uncomfortable teacher talking about periods, where babies come from, and possibly putting a condom on a wooden penis. Does that sound about right? We often think sex education is for kids, but the sex ed we get as kids from parents and schools is lacking, so we get a lot of our info from friends and media. It is rare that we get realistic sex education and even rarer to get queer sex education ...
Questions from a Confused Monogamist
October 11, 2021 16:38 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBThis is the 3rd episode in a 3-part series on monogamy and nonmonogamy. In this episode I will explain consensual nonmonogamy (CNM), which can be broadly defined as any type of relationship where people are having sexual, romantic, or intimate relationships with more than one person. As a researcher, educator, and practitioner of CNM, I am used to thinking about and talking about it all the time, so to get some perspective, I brought in my monogamous podcast collaborator, Matt Tunnacliffe to...
41 - Why are You So Obsessed with Monogamy?
September 28, 2021 21:48 - 30 minutes - 28 MBCanada and the U.S. (and many other societies) are completely obsessed with monogamy. And by obsessed, I mean, they structure their entire social and legal systems around the assumption of monogamous relationships. In this episode, part 2 in the series about monogamy and nonmonogamy, we delve in the the "why" behind the monogamy preference. Is it biology? Is it culture? Listen now to find out! Monogamy! What do we know? Do we know things? Let's find out! Script for this episode: https://w...
40 - What is Monogamy?
September 14, 2021 07:37 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MBOne of my areas of research is monogamy and nonmonogamy. One of the questions I have been interested in since early on is how do we define monogamy? I started with monogamous and nonmonogamous voles. But it turns out, the monogamous voles aren't even sexually monogamous. Are any animals monogamous? What about humans? What about you? How do you define monogamy? Do people in your life define it the same way? Have you ever had a detailed conversation about what monogamy means to you? This and m...
August Break - Mini-Episode
August 16, 2021 12:00 - 5 minutes - 4.6 MBWhew. It's summer. It's hot. I'm tired! Do We Know Things? is taking a break, but will be back on Aug 30 with the first episode in a 3-part series on monogamy and nonmonogamy. In this mini-episode, I have some g-spot updates and a question for listeners! Also, if you are looking for a new research-y podcast, I highly recommend my new fave Maintenance Phase podcast: Wellness & weight loss, debunked & decoded.

39 – Rethinking Femininity: Understanding Femmephobia
July 20, 2021 00:59 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MBWhen I say the word femininity, what comes to mind? What words would you use to describe femininity? Do you think things associated with femininity are less important or valid than things associated with masculinity? Have you ever thought about it before? On this episode of Do We Know Things, I interview Dr. Rhea Ashley Hoskin, a femme researcher known for her work on Femme Theory and her work on femmephobia, which identifies the ways society devalues and regulates femininity. I will tell my...
38 - The G-spot is Not a Spot
July 06, 2021 01:36 - 22 minutes - 21 MBYou likely have heard of the Grafenberg spot, or G-spot, as it is more commonly known. The G-spot has had some pretty good PR since it was named in the 1980s, and it has really become a household name. But what if I told you, there is actually no such thing! A combination of misunderstanding the bodies of people with vulvas and the continued influence of Freudian ideas about orgasms has led to a bit of an obsession about the G-spot. On this episode of Do We Know Things?, I will explore the ...
37 - Time to Get Aroused?
June 22, 2021 02:54 - 23 minutes - 32.2 MBOne bit of sex advice I have seen floating around the internet, particularly on Instagram, is that it takes cisgender women 20 minutes to get fully aroused. This is presented as a contrast to cisgender men, who are, I guess, faster than that? I never see any man-stats presented, but it is implied that men need to slow down to ensure their female partner gets to her fully aroused state. In this episode, I dive into the research to see how long it takes to get aroused. I realize the question...
36 - Oxytocin: What's Love Got to Do With It?
June 08, 2021 02:10 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MBIf you have heard of oxytocin before, you have probably heard about it as “the love hormone” or “the cuddle hormone.” Oxytocin has other nicknames too. It’s called the morality molecule, the hug hormone, and although it is less catchy, I like to point out, it’s also the racism hormone. Those are just a few of the things oxytocin has been implicated in. But how can one hormone do all of those things? Oxytocin! What do we know? Do we know things? Let's find out! Links mentioned in the show: ...
35 - Do Menstrual Cycles Sync?
May 11, 2021 02:36 - 39 minutes - 35.7 MBMost people with a period think that menstrual cycles sync up with people we spend a lot of time with, whether it is friends, coworkers or roommates. This phenomenon is called menstrual synchrony. But is it a real thing or is it just a coincidence? What do you think? Tune in to this episode to find out what the research says. Menstrual cycles! What do we know? Do we know things? Let's find out! Links mentioned in the show: Have you experienced a menstrual cycle change after your COVID ...
34 - Sex Work and the Law
April 27, 2021 01:10 - 55 minutes - 50.6 MBDo you know the laws about sex work? Do you know the difference between the "Nordic" model, decriminalization, and legalization of sex work? What about the difference between sex work and sex trafficking? When talking to my partner Jeremy, it dawned on me that not everyone follows sex work laws as closely as I do, so we thought we should make an episode about Canadian sex work laws through the ages. We cover sex work laws from the 1700s up to the current confusing laws that really need to b...
April Break - Consent and Rejection with BK Chan (Re-release)
April 12, 2021 12:35 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MBThese days, talk of consent and consent education is increasingly common. I would argue that it is the most important part of school-based sex education, even though it is still not explicitly included as part of some provinces’ curricula. Of course, it’s one thing to tell people that they need to get consent about sexual activity, but having conversations about sex is hard! Kids and adults often don’t know how to have conversations about sex, or they are afraid that asking for consent just ...
33 - Sex Toys & Safety
March 29, 2021 15:20 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MBSex toys, while once highly taboo, have been increasing in popularity and visibility over the last two decades. While most people don’t necessarily talk openly about their sex toys, advertising, websites, and brick and mortar stores selling high quality sex toys are much more visible than they used to be. But did you know that the sex toy industry is completely unregulated? My guest on today’s podcast, Sarah Brynn Holliday is a sex toy safety expert. Sarah will share info on how to know wh...
March Break - To Pee or Not to Pee Revisited
March 15, 2021 02:08 - 17 minutes - 24.2 MBThis week we're going to revisit my most controversial episode, where I investigated if it's necessary to pee after sex! We'll be back in two weeks with our regularly scheduled programming! Hosted by Dr. Lisa Dawn Hamilton, psychology professor and sex educator.

Sex, Stress, and COVID - Crossover episode with Succeed Under Stress podcast
March 01, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBFor this episode, I am flipping things a bit and playing an episode of the Succeed Under Stress podcast where I was interviewed by my friend, clinical psychologist, and podcast host Dr. Jonathan Horowitz. We talked about stress and sex with a focus on how COVID affects our sex lives. Tune in to hear me unscripted and offering sex tips during times of COVID.

31 - Intersex: Beyond the Binary
February 15, 2021 13:40 - 18 minutes - 26 MBHumans brains like to put things into neat mental boxes, but the world is not neat and doesn't fit easily into categories. Most people don't know that biological sex can be something other than male or female, but there are millions of people who are intersex. It's shocking that there is not more awareness about intersex, and in this episode, I aim to increase that awareness. I also point out that the very existence of intersex people means that sex isn't binary, contrary to what trolls on t...
Winter Break - Orgasms from PVI (Re-release)
February 01, 2021 13:00 - 25 minutes - 34.4 MBThis episode is a re-release of the first ever episode of Do We Know Things? Media depictions of heterosexual sex are all about penile-vaginal-intercourse (PVI), which always seems to lead to mind-blowing orgasms for women. Sex educators say only about 25% of women have orgasms from PVI, though. Where does that number come from? Is it accurate? Orgasms! What do we know? Do we know things? Let's find out! Also, I play the trailer for a new podcast called This is Fine: A podcast about stre...
30 - What Does it Mean to be Emasculated?
January 18, 2021 13:00 - 38 minutes - 53 MBWhat comes to mind when you think of emasculation? If you are like most people, you probably think about it metaphorically. My guest on this episode, Dr. Richard Wassersug studies emasculation in the literal sense. He studies people who remove their testicles by choice (a.k.a. voluntary eunuchs) and those who are chemically castrated through testosterone suppressing drugs. Listen in on this fascinating interview of the world of emasculation that most people have never thought of. Emasculat...
29 - The Joy of Vibrators
January 04, 2021 13:00 - 21 minutes - 49 MBHave you heard the story of how and why vibrators were invented? If so, it’s probably wrong. What about risks of desensitization from vibrators? That’s a myth too. There are so many myths surrounding vibrators! This episode will challenge those myth with evidence, and I will also throw in some sex toy store recommendations. Vibrators! What do we know? Do we know things? Let’s find out! Hosted by Dr. Lisa Dawn Hamilton, psychology professor and sex educator. Find the script for this episo...
28 - Myths of Male Desire
December 21, 2020 13:00 - 41 minutes - 56.4 MBIt's reinforced so much by our media culture, it's almost become a cliche: Men are horny ALL the time. This simplified version of men’s sexuality is also often repeated by researchers and other experts. I am excited to challenge some myths about heterosexual men’s sexual desire with my guest Dr. Sarah Hunter Murray who is a therapist, author, and desire mythbuster. We'll go beyond the stereotypes to explore a more nuanced view of male sexual desire. Men's Desire! What do we know? Do we know...
27 - Biology of Sex
December 07, 2020 13:57 - 24 minutes - 33.1 MBThis episode of Do We Know Things? examines the things we are often taught about the biology of sex differences. It is definitely a science-nerd episode, but it focuses on biases in research that affect half the population! In particular, I wanted to address the oft repeated lore that ‘female is the default sex.’ I am joined by brilliant biologist and gender studies professor, Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling, one of my research heros! What do we know about the biology of sex? Do we know things? ...
26 - Anniversary Episode: Top 5 Sex Myths and More!
November 24, 2020 02:11 - 27 minutes - 37.1 MBDid you know Do We Know Things? is officially one year old!? To celebrate, I’m going to revisit a few topics from the last year, including the Top 5 sex myths I have busted over the past year! I also have more info about merkins, pubic hair, and art as an update from the last epsiode. And I’ll be speaking with Tasia Alexopoulos from the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada about developments in abortion access and rights since we last spoke. What do we know? Do we know things? Let’s find out...
25 – The Hair Down There
November 09, 2020 13:04 - 23 minutes - 32.1 MBAfter a recent convo with a friend about pubic hair. I realized I didn't know where the current trend of pubic hair removal started, even though I thought I did! This led me to think of all the other pubic hair things I had heard over the years. Does pubic hair serve a protective factor? Does removing your pubic hair increase risk for STIs or other problems? What about crabs (a.k.a pubic lice)? Pubic hair, or the lack thereof, is a hot topic, and I clearly didn’t know much about it. On this...
24 - Orgasms Do Not Equal Sexual Satisfaction
October 26, 2020 12:00 - 20 minutes - 28.8 MBThink of your last sexual encounter, either by yourself or someone else. What do remember? What was the best part? Was it the orgasm? What if you didn’t have an orgasm? Would that be a disappointment? Can you have good sex without orgasms? Can you have bad sex with orgasms? We often equate orgasms with sexual satisfaction, but isn’t there more to sex than orgasms? On this episode, I will go into ridiculous detail about what orgasms are, talk about bad orgasms, and also explore what actu...
23 - Should You Stop Masturbating?
October 13, 2020 00:58 - 36 minutes - 50.7 MBDo you have a penis? Do you feel unmotivated? Do you jerk off too much? Do you have erectile dysfunction? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the No Fap movement would be happy to provide you with some answers. If you haven’t heard of it before, r/NoFap is a subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/ ) community dedicated to men (mostly) talking about quitting masturbation. On this episode of Do We Know Things? I dig into the history of NoFap, examine some of the research inf...

22 - Virginity isn't Real
September 28, 2020 12:00 - 32 minutes - 44.7 MBWhat is virginity? Judging by the media, it's a pretty big deal! Hundreds of songs are written about it. Every TV teen drama has that very special episode where the two leads decide to do it (or not). Whole movies are based on the premise of horny guys trying to "get some" for the first time. But what if I told you virginity isn't real? That's right! Despite everything you've watched, listened to, and read about virginity being this huge deal... it's not a thing!

20 - All About the Clitoris
August 31, 2020 23:38 - 20 minutes - 27.5 MBOn this episode of Do We Know Things?, I discuss the greatest thing of all.. the clitoris! Although it is slowly changing, there is so much the average person does not know about the clitoris. Although one "fact" that gets repeated again and again is that there are 8,000 nerve endings in the clitoris. It has been completely meme-ified. But, is that true? It wasn’t until a student asked me about clitoral nerves directly that I started looking into it and was shocked by what I found. On thi...
