Episode 204: More Fascinating Facts About Sex
July 7, 2023 by Justin Lehmiller
It is hard to believe, but we recently reached episode number 200 of this podcast! So how do you celebrate 200 episodes of a sex show? I decided to put together a compilation of some of the most fascinating facts about sex we’ve discussed to date. One of my co-managing editors at Sex and Psychology, Olivia Adams, helped me to narrow down several segments that are well worth revisiting. Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include:
- “Erotic self-focus” or the degree to which you turn yourself on, with guest Dr. Marta Meana (Episode 126)
- The growing number of men who are involuntarily celibate, with guest William Costello (Episode 133)
- What women are looking for in their affairs (and how they feel about them), with guest Susan Shapiro Barash (Episode 191)
- How religious values shape the way we interpret our own porn use, with guest Dr. Joshua Grubbs (Episode 186)
- The benefits of being single and how they change with age, with guest Dr. Yuthika Girme (Episode 174)
In this show, I mentioned that there’s a guide for how to use this podcast as a companion teaching resource alongside my textbook, The Psychology of Human Sexuality. This resource is already up on the site, and you can access it here.
