Can Masturbation Be a Radical Act?

This week: Is there anything better than sex while high? We debate, and also talk about a new, specially-cultivated strain of aphrodisiac marijuana, called, um, Sexxpot. Also: could dating apps possibly be spreading STDs? And a tour of new, boutique dating apps serving micro-audiences and amusing us. With Allison P. Davis, Maureen O'Connor, and David Wallace-Wells.

This week: We talk to legendary, ageless, pint-sized sex guru (and onetime Holocaust survivor turned adorable German grandma) Dr. Ruth Westheimer—and marvel at how quickly someone famous for being sexually progressive can come to seem sexually retrograde. And we'll also be talking about whether it's possible, whatever a new study says, that millenials are actual boning less than their parents—and how that could possibly be. With Allison P. Davis, Maureen O'Connor, and David Wallace-Wells. More at thecut.com and nymag.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week: We spend the whole episode interview the threesome matchmakers behind Threeway Dating Club—specialists in setting up no-strings three-way sex without any of the social obstacles or awkwardness, but who turn out to be themselves maybe just a bit creepier than they first let on.

This week: We debate just how unfair it is to describe Chocolate City as a black reboot of Magic Mike when it is, in fact, the best film of all time. Also: Are we having a balls moment? A look at junk-grabbing on Veep, nut-tapping in One Direction, and tea bagging Barack Obama’s body man. We also talk about SellYourPanties.com, and why exactly you would buy a woman’s worn underwear only to put it away in a drawer and never even sniff it.

This week: We trade stories about sex in museums and other public places and talk to New York’s art critic Jerry Saltz about why art is hot and which museums have lockable bathrooms. Also, can having more sex maybe possibly in any way make you less happy? A new study says so, but, we conclude, that is insane. And just how random should a person be for optimal rando sex?

This week: Why are you in couples therapy before you've even boned? Has the internet ever given us something as perfect as the eggplant emoji? And: have you heard of air sex?

This week: Just how loud is too loud for fucking (and who actually complains about their neighbors’ noise levels)? Should we applaud the rise of a new generation of sex-bot sex dolls, or judge the people who love them? And how hot is it cool to make your avatar (speaking of which, what is MyIdol anyway)?
