episode Sex and the City Killed Pubic Lice. Or Did It? cover

Beskrivelse

Pubic lice are a sexually transmitted infection that, strangely enough, predates humans. Millions of years ago, our ancestors were covered in far more body hair, giving lice plenty of territory to live on. But as humans evolved and lost most of that hair, pubic lice got pushed into one of the last dense patches remaining: the pubic region. Now, some researchers think humans may be shrinking their habitat even further. Since the rise of Brazilian waxing and aggressive grooming trends, especially after shows like Sex and the City helped popularize them, rates of pubic lice appear to have declined dramatically in some parts of the world. There is even speculation that if grooming trends continue long enough, pubic lice could someday become genuinely rare or potentially disappear altogether. Which is a sentence I never thought I’d say into a microphone.

The Science of Three Kinks! Cuckolding, Consensual Non-Consent and Pony Play

Smart is sexy, join the Shameless Care Email list here: https://shamelesscare.com/welcome-email-signup/?podcast=Kink [https://shamelesscare.com/welcome-email-signup/?podcast=Kink] What is cuckolding? What is consensual non consent (CNC)? Why do some people enjoy pony play? And what does science actually say about these controversial sexual interests? In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert Johnson and Anna explore three of the most misunderstood kinks in modern sexuality: cuckolding, consensual non consent, and pony play. Rather than focusing on shock value, they examine the psychology, neuroscience, relationship dynamics, and sexual health research behind each kink. Why do some people find these experiences arousing? Are they signs of underlying psychological issues? How common are they? And what do researchers know about the people who enjoy them? Topics discussed include: • What cuckolding is and why some couples enjoy it • The psychology of consensual non consent (CNC) • Why fantasy and reality are often very different things • Pony play, role play, and identity exploration • Sexual novelty, arousal, and the human brain • What the scientific literature says about kink and mental health • Common myths about BDSM and alternative sexual interests Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or actively involved in the kink community, this episode takes a science based look at three sexual interests that are often misunderstood.

episode Viagra and Cialis for Women? The Science Is Wild. cover

Viagra and Cialis for Women? The Science Is Wild.

Most people assume medications like Viagra and Cialis are “for men.” But women take them too, and the science behind what happens is far more interesting than most people realize. In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna break down what medications like sildenafil, tadalafil, and apomorphine actually do in women, why researchers became interested in them in the first place, and why the results have been both promising and controversial. They discuss:  • Blood flow and female sexual arousal  • Why “desire” and “arousal” are not the same thing  • The strange history of “female Viagra”  • Why some women report dramatic benefits while studies remain mixed  • The role dopamine may play in sexual response  • The real science behind tadalafil, sildenafil, and apomorphine in women  • The difference between internet hype and actual clinical evidence As always, this episode is funny, honest, deeply researched, and very NSFW in places. This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

episode The Herpes Vaccine Disaster Nobody Talks About cover

The Herpes Vaccine Disaster Nobody Talks About

Herpes is one of the most common human infections on Earth. Hundreds of millions of people carry it. It can cause physical symptoms, emotional distress, stigma, relationship anxiety, and endless confusion online. So why is there still no vaccine? In this episode of the Sex is Good Podcast, Robert and Anna break down the strange and frustrating history of herpes vaccine research, why developing one has proven so difficult, and why some scientists believe we may still be much farther away than the public realizes. They discuss:  • Why herpes behaves differently than many other viruses  • Why some vaccines looked promising and then failed  • The biology of latency and immune evasion  • Whether mRNA technology could finally change things  • Why stigma affects funding and public attention  • What current treatments actually do and do not accomplish  • The emotional reality of living with HSV As always, this episode blends science, public health, history, and honest conversation without fearmongering or moral panic. Because if herpes is this common, the real question is not why people get it. The real question is why we still have not solved it.
