Let's Talk About Sex | Body Counts, Hookup Culture & Masculinity
In episode 4, we dive into the world of modern intimacy — from awkward “birds and bees” talks to what school didn’t teach us.
We break down how pop culture and gendered expectations shape our ideas of desirability, with help from the documentary Miss Representation and Dr. Emily Nagoski's book Come Together.
Plus: navigating body counts, emotional intimacy, and queer perspectives on hookup culture.
Whether you're figuring out your love language or wondering why men get praised for doing the bare minimum, this one's for you!
