  • 6: I’m just not very emotional.
    2022/05/16
    Director Leann Welham talks us through the episode. Sex therapist Dr. Martha Kauppi tells us about the different ways we process and protect ourselves from difficult feelings. Maggie and Noam make the mistake of searching through our personal emails for the word ‘feelings.’ And stories about the minefields in dating when your ability to feel sexual attraction is dependent on a strong foundation of intimacy, moving across country for love, and realizing you’re much more emotional than you thought.

  • 7: Is a penis just not absurd?
    2022/05/16
    We’re still hung up on sex and love. Is there a biochemistry of love? And how do we talk about sex if it’s making us crazy with all these hormones? Dr. Justin Lehmiller helps us answer that question and shines a light on the role of sex education in learning to talk about sex. Noam tells the story we lovingly call ‘the art of the blowjob.’ Writer Lux Alptraum helps us feel better about our kinks. And then we look at the biological and cultural factors that color our views of sex and love with actor Tadgh Murphy, Dr. C. Sue Carter, and Dr. Martha Kauppi.Dr. Ian Kernerhttps://www.iankerner.com/Dr. Ian Kerner’s best-selling book, She Comes Firsthttps://www.amazon.com/dp/0060538260/Dr. Justin Lehmillerhttps://www.sexandpsychology.comhttps://open.spotify.com/show/6DCIGjOUaenoKdY71N7NqILux Alptraumhttp://www.luxalptraum.com/Lux Alptraum’s book, Faking Ithttps://www.sealpress.com/titles/lux-alptraum/faking-it/9781580057660/Martha Kauppihttps://www.instituteforrelationalintimacy.com/Dr. C.

  • 8: If there’s one thing you can say about facism, it’s that it had some good poets.
    2022/05/16
    What role does it play in our relationships? Can it be a form of courtship? Music Supervisor Juliet Martin and director Leann Welham take us through the process of marrying music to the show. Noam tells us about the time she texted a link to Total Eclipse of the Heart over and over again and it worked. And a story about the sweetest mixtape that you’d probably never want to hear.
