This is the second part of a two-part series of interviews I conducted in a sex club in Amsterdam during a recent study abroad course I taught for sex therapists.

In this episode and the next, I’m going to be sharing some of the fascinating things we learned. In today’s episode, you’ll be hearing two interviews I did with Dutch s...
Episode 78: Let’s Talk About Sexting
March 18, 2022 04:00 - 38 minutes - 70.5 MBSexting has become so common that it’s not a stretch to call it the new “first base” in developing sexual relationships. For many people, sexting is now an integral part of how they connect with others sexually in the modern world, and it occurs in both casual and committed relationships. However, while sexting can be a handy way to boost arousal, communicate interest, and share your fantasies, it can also occur in ways that are coercive or harassing. In this episode, we talk about the good,...
Episode 77: Starved For Intimacy
March 11, 2022 05:00 - 37 minutes - 69.3 MBModern technology has made us more connected than ever, but at the same time, many of us feel increasingly disconnected. We just aren’t getting the intimacy we’re craving. We’re starving for a type of intimacy that technology isn’t well-suited to provide. So how can we better meet our need for connection in a digital world? To answer this question, I spoke with Dr. Michelle Drouin, a behavioral scientist and expert on technology, relationships, and sexuality. She is a professor of Psycholog...
Episode 76: Creating Ideal Relationship Agreements
March 04, 2022 05:00 - 49 minutes - 91.7 MBRelationships and marriages aren’t just hard–they’re harder than ever because the expectations around them have changed so much. What worked in the past isn’t working anymore, so it’s time for a new approach. We need to figure out what works for us as individuals and create custom relationship agreements that reflect our wants and needs. But what goes into creating an ideal relationship agreement? That’s what we’re going to be discussing today. My guest is Dr. Tammy Nelson, a certified sex ...
Episode 75: Making Friends With Benefits Work
February 25, 2022 05:05 - 54 minutes - 103 MBMore than 60% of American adults say they’ve had sex with a friend in the past year, a number that has increased considerably over the last two decades. Despite the fact that sex between friends is so common, it’s not something people often discuss. Can you go back to being just friends afterwards? And how do you approach sex with a friend without anyone getting hurt? Today’s show is all about making “friends with benefits” work. My guest is Dr. Jesse Owen, a Professor in the Counseling Psy...
Episode 74: How To Make Sex Ed Work For Everyone
February 19, 2022 05:05 - 55 minutes - 104 MBSex education in the United States leaves a lot of people on the sidelines, from racial and ethnic minorities to LGBTQ+ youth to persons with disabilities. Part of the reason for this is that just nine (!) states require sex ed to be delivered in an unbiased and culturally appropriate way. So how can we make sex education work for everyone? My guest today is Dr. Tanya Bass, an award-winning sexuality educator who teaches at North Carolina Central University’s Department of Public Health Edu...
Episode 73 – The Way You Make Me Feel: The Science of Love
February 11, 2022 05:00 - 58 minutes - 109 MBHow can you tell if you’re in lust or in love? Is “love at first sight” real? When is the right time to say “I love you” in a relationship? And how do you keep love alive long-term? Today’s episode is all about the science of love, and we’re going to talk about so many important and fascinating questions! My guest is none other than “The Love Doctor” herself, Dr. Terri Orbuch. Terri is a distinguished professor at Oakland University and a research scientist at the University of Michigan’s I...
Episode 72 – Kink On The Brain: The Truth About BDSM
February 03, 2022 05:05 - 56 minutes - 26.3 MBAt one time or another, almost everyone has had a BDSM fantasy of some type. Despite its widespread popularity, however, BDSM is a subject that remains widely misunderstood and stigmatized. It’s a taboo topic in broader society that people are often reluctant to discuss out of fear of being judged. So let’s talk about it! One of the biggest things that changed the way I think about BDSM was having the opportunity to interview a professional dominatrix a few years back. I’m bringing her onto...
Episode 71: Sex in Space and Sex with Robots
January 28, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBSpace travel is a rapidly expanding industry. In the near future, people are going to be traveling and maybe even living outside of Earth’s atmosphere for prolonged periods of time. This raises a lot of interesting questions about how we can make life in outer space compatible with human needs, including our sexual and intimate needs. However, space organizations aren’t talking about sex in space, and they aren’t studying it either. But if we’re going to build spacefaring societies, this is ...
Episode 70: The Rise of Cuckolding
January 21, 2022 05:14 - 54 minutes - 100 MBCuckolding refers to a sexual practice in which someone finds it arousing to watch their partner have sex with another person. I first learned about cuckolding nearly a decade ago and, in the years since, its popularity has exploded. Google searches for it are on the rise, it’s increasing mentioned and depicted in the popular media, and it regularly emerges among the top porn searches in the world year in and year out. There’s even a new annual tradition called #CuckWeek, aimed at celebratin...
Episode 69: Designer Genitals – The Truth About Genital Enhancement Surgery
January 14, 2022 05:33 - 1 hour - 31.5 MBFrom penis enlargement to vaginal rejuvenation, modern medicine is offering those who are concerned with their genital appearance the opportunity to obtain “designer genitals.” In recent years, there has been an explosion in the number of people seeking genital augmentation surgery, as well as a growing number of procedures to choose from that promise to boost self-confidence and sexual desirability. But do all of these procedures really work as promised? Are they even safe? And is genital s...
Episode 68: What Do Singles Today Really Want?
January 07, 2022 12:30 - 46 minutes - 86 MBBefore the pandemic hit, the number of American adults living single was at a record high, while the marriage rate was at a record low. But that might all be about to change, according to results from the 11th annual Singles in America Survey from Match. This survey involved a demographically representative sample of 5,000 single adults aged 18-98, and the findings suggest that singles today are thinking very differently about sex, love, and relationships. To break down the results, I spoke...

Episode 66: Why The Holidays Make Us Horny
December 22, 2021 05:25 - 30 minutes - 15 MBIf you’re feeling extra horny right now, it’s not just you! The winter holidays are one of the times of year when sexual interest and behavior reliably increase. We see this in everything from a spike in condom sales to an increase in sexual injuries to a peak in STD rates early in the new year. So why is that? That’s what we’re going to explore in today’s episode. I revisited my conversation with Dr. Patrick Markey from Episode 49, who analyzed Google search trends for sex and relationship...
Episode 65: Understanding Asexuality
December 17, 2021 08:00 - 48 minutes - 89.6 MBWhat does it mean to be asexual? This is something that different people have defined in different ways, and there are a lot of misconceptions about it. That’s why this episode of the podcast is all about understanding asexuality. We dive into what the science tells us about this subject and bust a lot of myths along the way. We also talk about helpful tips for navigating relationships in which one of the partners is asexual (lacking sexual attraction) and the other is allosexual (experienci...
Episode 64: How Technology Can Save Your Sex Life
December 10, 2021 08:00 - 51 minutes - 30 MBMost of us never got the sex education we really needed, which leaves us with a lot that we need to figure out all on our own.

Episode 63: A New Way of Thinking About Sexual Orientation
December 03, 2021 08:00 - 51 minutes - 30.7 MBIf you ask someone to describe their sexuality, odds are they’ll probably tell you something about the sex or gender of the people they’re attracted to. However, that’s just one of many aspects of sexuality that might be important to a given individual. Sexuality is multidimensional, and each of us has a unique constellation of factors that play a part in our attraction to others, from the number of partners we want to have, to the degree of support and nurturance we need, to the sexual role...
Episode 62: The Myth of the “Hormonal Woman”
November 26, 2021 08:00 - 50 minutes - 94.9 MBEvolutionary psychologists have long argued that women’s sexual behavior is driven by hormonal changes that occur throughout the menstrual cycle, including everything from their desire for sex to their partner choice. This has fed the popular idea that hormones are really the driving force behind women’s sexuality. As it turns out, however, that’s not entirely true. In this episode, we’re going to be deconstructing the myth of the “hormonal woman” with Dr. Tierney Lorenz, a former Kinsey In...
Episode 61: “No Nut November” and the Science of Masturbation
November 19, 2021 08:00 - 36 minutes - 21.1 MBEach November, media buzz around the annual abstinence challenge known as “No Nut November” seems to grow. This challenge involves men giving up ejaculation for the entire month. That means no sex and no masturbation—no orgasms of any kind. Those who participate do this for a wide range of reasons, but often with the intention of enhancing their health. But are there actually any health benefits to abstaining from orgasm for prolonged periods of time? To dive into what the science says, I s...
Episode 60: The Science of Orgasms
November 12, 2021 08:00 - 43 minutes - 23.3 MBWhat does it really mean to have an orgasm? Different people—and even different scientists—define “orgasm” in different ways, which makes this a surprisingly difficult subject to study scientifically. So how do you measure when someone has an orgasm in a research lab? For this episode, I spoke to an orgasm researcher who has figured out how to do it. Her methods and findings are absolutely fascinating and will change everything you think you know about orgasms! My guest today is Dr. Nicole ...
Episode 59: Can You “Cheat-Proof” Your Relationship?
November 05, 2021 07:00 - 51 minutes - 26 MBMost people say that their ideal relationship would be monogamous. Despite this, however, a lot of people seem to have a really hard time maintaining monogamy. So why is that? And if monogamy is what you want, how can you most successfully maintain it and reduce the risk of infidelity? For the answers to these questions, I spoke with Dr. Lucia O’Sullivan, a Professor of Psychology at the University of New Brunswick. She has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles on sexual and romantic re...
Episode 58: The Sex Lives of College Students
October 29, 2021 07:00 - 51 minutes - 96.4 MBWhat do the sex lives of college students today look like? And how have they changed over time?

My guest today is Dr. Sandra Caron, a Professor of Family Relations and Human Sexuality at ...
Episode 57: The Science of Sexual Fluidity and Gender Fluidity
October 22, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBA lot of people think about sexual orientation and gender as stable characteristics of the self–they think that people are just born a certain way. While it’s certainly true that many people do demonstrate stability in these traits throughout their lives, not everyone does. Many people experience some degree of sexual and/or gender fluidity, which can manifest in unexpected shifts in identity and expression over time. To be clear, this isn’t to say that sexuality and gender are conscious cho...
Episode 56: Where Do Sexual Fetishes Come From?
October 15, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 112 MBPeople can develop sexual fetishes for virtually anything. In fact, it’s not a stretch to say that if you can think of it, somebody probably has a fetish for it. So why is that? How do fetishes develop in the first place? Are some people more likely to develop them than others? And what role does porn play in all of this? For the answers to these questions, I spoke with Dr. Jim Pfaus, a researcher in behavioral neuroscience in the Department of Psychology and Life Sciences at Charles Univer...
Episode 55: Sex, Pleasure, Consent, and the Intimate Lives of Teens Today
October 08, 2021 07:00 - 48 minutes - 25.8 MBToday’s youth are facing a complicated landscape when it comes to sex. They live in a world where sex is all around and porn is more easily accessible than ever before, but they’re not being educated about it and they’re receiving a lot of mixed messages. So are young adults getting what they want out of sex and relationships? What do their intimate lives look like? And what can parents and schools do to better support them? For insight into these questions, I spoke with Peggy Orenstein, au...
Episode 54: How To Have Better Sex And Deal With Sexual Difficulties
October 01, 2021 06:00 - 48 minutes - 91 MBSexual difficulties are common, but people tend to have a really hard time talking about them. In fact, people often find it easier to avoid the subject entirely, which can lead sex to disappear in a relationship. So how can people start healthy and productive conversations about sexual difficulties? What can they do to address them? And whether sexual difficulties are present or not, how can you have better sex? For insight into these topics and more, I spoke with Jeff Abraham, CEO of the ...
Episode 53: Everything You Think You Know About Sex Is Probably Wrong
September 22, 2021 06:00 - 50 minutes - 28.7 MBHave you ever heard that there are 8,000 nerve endings in the clitoris, or that the clitoris has twice as many nerve endings as the penis? These statements appear as facts in countless social media posts, news articles, and books. There’s just one problem with them, though—they’re wrong. It turns out that so many of the things we think we know about sex and that we hear repeated over and over just aren’t true. That’s why this episode of the podcast is all about what we don’t know about sex....
Episode 52: Sex Fantasies Around The World
September 17, 2021 06:00 - 42 minutes - 22.7 MBDo people from different cultures have different sexual fantasies? Or are there common threads that run through our fantasy worlds?

During my recent study abroad course on sex and culture in Amsterdam, I met the author of the largest study of erotic fantasies in the Netherlands. He traveled to festivals with a caravan and interviewed hundreds of people about their sexual turn-ons....

And what can people today do to navigate hookup culture and casual sex in healthy ways? For the answers to these questions, I spoke with Dr. Lisa Wade, an associate professor of sociology and gender and sexuality studies at Tulane University. She is also author of the book, American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus. Some of the topics we explore in this episode include: -What does the term “...

Episode 47: The Truth About Testosterone

Episode 45: Why Marriage Is So Hard, And How To Make It Better
July 30, 2021 01:00 - 50 minutes - 29.2 MBMarriage is hard. And, in many ways, it’s harder today than it was in the past because what we’re asking of our partners now is so dramatically different than it was before. Whereas marriage used to be about meeting basic survival needs, it’s become more about self-actualization. And so if we want to understand how to make the institution of marriage better, we have to look at it in the context of our ever-changing needs and expectations. That’s why this episode of the podcast is all about t...

I interviewed Dr. Heath Schechinger. He is a Counseling Psychologist at the University of California Berkeley and also maintains a private practice. Heath is ...
Episode 42: The Decisions That Make or Break a Relationship
July 09, 2021 01:00 - 44 minutes - 83.2 MBGetting into a relationship is much easier than getting out of one. People have a tendency to slide into relationships without putting in a lot of thought.

Her research examines how people m...
Episode 41: The Secrets of Relationship Success
July 01, 2021 01:00 - 49 minutes - 27.4 MBIt is often said that the most important decision you make in your life is who you decide to have a relationship with—yet most of us are never really taught anything about how to make this decision.

That’s why this episode of the Sex and Psychology Podcast is all about boosting your relationship IQ by revealing the secrets of relationship success. I int...
Episode 40: Sexual Deception, Jealousy, and the Dark Side of Relationships
June 25, 2021 01:00 - 49 minutes - 26.2 MBAlthough sex, dating, and relationships can bring us great joy, they also have a very dark side. For example, people sometimes lie or deceive others in order to have sex. And in dating and relationships, jealousy sometimes turns into violence. So why do these things happen in the first place? And what can we do to prevent them? I interviewed Dr. David Buss, a Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. He is considered the world’s leading scientific expert on strategies of...
Episode 39: The Surprising Secrets of STDs
June 17, 2021 01:00 - 49 minutes - 26.8 MBIs it really true that having a greater number of sexual partners necessarily means you have a greater risk for sexually transmitted infections (STDs)? Nope!

Episode 35: The Guide To Opening Up A Relationship
May 20, 2021 17:56 - 53 minutes - 38 MBOne of the most common questions I get asked as a sex educator is how to open up a monogamous relationship. People ask about this for a wide range of reasons. For example, some folks have always wanted to do it, but never knew quite how to go about it. Others just want to try something new and different, or find the idea exciting. Yet others are in long-distance relationships and seeking to provide a sexual outlet. So what do you need to know if you’re thinking about giving this a try? For ...
