In this special episode, Renee Audrey and Dr. Kate Richmond Ph.D. associate professor of psychology and director of women and gender studies at Muhlenberg College, get into the ~nitty gritty~ about "Cyber Sex" by Doja Cat. This sex-positive and tech-savvy song brings not only concepts about self-pleasure and sexuality in the digital age of today but also detrimental concepts such as "the male gaze" that haunt our society, especially girls and women. Being the author of her own textbook, Psychology of Women, Dr. Richmond brings an educative, fun, and enlightening perspective to the episode. Please note the trigger warning for sensitive topics such as sex, self-pleasure, porn, racism, and trauma.
