#97: Sex and the Researcher (& what circumcision does to penises)

Summary: This week, we learn about circumcision and find out what it's like to work in a sex lab. What's the room like? Does it get awkward or does the lab coat give you magical protections from social unease? Two sex researchers take us behind the curtain. Jenn Bossio talks to us specifically about her research on circumcision. She's trying to find out what, if anything, circumcision does to penises. Does it affect their arousal patterns? Do they become super sensitive penises? Or does all that neonatal pain make them numb to the world? Important questions for anyone interested in the ethics of circumcision.
