This week: The world’s first hand’s-free couple’s vibrator is here, and maybe not surprisingly it is also a monster crowd funding hit. We talk to Alexandra Fine, one of the two women behind the device, so to speak, and debate whether it looks more like one of Despicable Me’s minions, a wishbone, or a beetle. We also talk about what it’s like to hand over your own dating life to an amateur dating coach—in this case, you fall in love with the coach. With Alison P. Davis, Maureen O'Connor, and David Wallace-Wells.More at thecut.com and nymag.com. This episode is sponsored by Showtime's "Masters of Sex."

This week: What does it mean to make a boner pill for women? We'll solve the problem of the low libido, right after we figure out whether it’s actually a problem or not (with help from Melissa Dahl of the Science of Us). Also: People who post on Facebook about marrying their best friend are probably in doomed relationships, science says (and also maybe into weird role play). With Allison P. Davis, Maureen O'Connor, and David Wallace-Wells. More at thecut.com and nymag.com.

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.

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. With Alison Davis, Maureen O'Connor, and David Wallace-Wells. More at www.thecut.com and nymag.com.

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? With Alison Davis, Maureen O'Connor, and David Wallace-Wells. More at thecut.com and nymag.com.
