Have you ever felt guilty for fantasizing about having sexual relations with somebody that wasn’t your partner? You’re not alone.
In this episode of Align Podcast, Wednesday Martin and I talk about all things sex. We discuss the myths around sex, monogamy and gender roles, the way we engage in modern relationships and why divorce rates are so high. We also explore what Heterozygosity is, the difference between pleasure and reproduction and how no kink is too weird if you’re into it. So if you’d like to hear us discuss the answers to questions like, 'Why is the female orgasm so different from that of men?' 'What is the purpose of the clitoris?' or 'Why are women more successful at dating apps?' have a listen!
Dr. Wednesday Martin is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and feminist cultural critic who blends science, social science, and storytelling to help you understand yourself—why you want what you want, feel what you feel, and do what you do—better. Her work has appeared in The Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Time, Psychology Today, and more. Dr. Martin was the regular sex columnist for Refinery 29 and Elle Italia, and she is the author of seven books including UNTRUE, a reconsideration of female non-monogamy across cultures and species. Critics called UNTRUE ‘indispensable’ and ‘revolutionary.'
