  • Episode 88: Self-Fulfilling Prophecies and Sex

    Send us Fan Mail

    What happens when women are told: “If your husband is typical, he has a need you don’t have?”, as Love & Respect put it. 
    If you hear that your whole life that women need affection while men need sex, and women don’t actually need that much. Well, should it be a surprise if we grow up believing that sex is not for us?
