What is the purpose of pheromones? What do they do and how do they work in the body? Do pheromones change based on hormones? Is it true that certain people’s pheromones are not for us? Is there anything that can be done when pheromones don't feel aligned? Is the universe saying this person isn’t compatible with me?

#378 Pheromones and the "Should I Bang You" Sniff Test - with Jacqui Rubinoff

What is ED, what are the main causes, and who does it affect? What are some of the common treatments and exercises that can help with blood flow issues that cause ED? Is Scrotox really Botox for the balls? What does it do and does it really work? What about Botox for the penis? Is it a thing and how can it help with erections? How does a person’s mental health (stress/depression/anxiety) have an effect on ED just as much as a person’s physiological health? And can people who have experienced prostate cancer still have a bright sexual future?

#377 Scrotox, Dicktox, and Erections - with Dr. Paul Gittens

How has the porn industry shifted over the past 20 years, and how is it that Hollywood still gets it wrong when it comes to intimacy? What are the most common fantasies that women have based on their top porn interests? What about men/other genders? If I identify as a feminist and yet I’m super attracted to porn that involves dominance and submission, and maybe even some rough sex, can I still be a feminist while thinking this is hot? How can gang bang scenes (and gang bangs in general) be empowering? Can the woman receiving all the D be in control?
