201. Cross Stitching and Neuroscience: A Follow Up Interview with Emily Nagoski




Smart Podcast, Trashy Books: Reviews, Interviews, and Discussion About All the Romance Novels You Love to Read show

Summary: Back in March, Amanda and I did an interview with Emily Nagoski, and she agreed to take listener queries from all of you once her semester was over. It’s done! We’ve got questions, and answers. We discuss pain, orgasm, shame, and fantasy, sex and sexuality, masturbation, orgasm, pain during sex, better paths toward orgasm, sex games for fun and enjoyment, ethical porn and feminist porn. Thank you for trusting me with your letters so that I could relay them to Emily, and thank you for trusting us both with your problems. You are definitely not alone. WARNING: at about the hour mark, we begin discussing a letter that may be triggering for many of you. There’s plenty of verbal warning from both of us, and Emily gives a short TL;DR answer to some of the questions raised, but if you are sensitive to discussions of sexual abuse and rape fantasy, please be aware that this portion of the podcast may be upsetting. I want you to feel safe while you’re listening. Listener discretion is advised.
