Are women’s sex drives really weaker than men’s? Are women really less likely to cheat–or want to cheat? Are they really better suited for monogamy? And how much are these gender differences due to nature vs. nurture? In Episode 45, we bring best-selling author http://www.wednesdaymartin.com/ (Dr. Wednesday Martin) on the show to talk about her new book http://wednesdaymartin.com/books/untrue/ (UNTRUE: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Adultery is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free,) which reviewers say totally upends our common beliefs about these issues. Tune in to hear some of the surprising insights Dr. Martin gleaned from her interviews with numerous (mostly female!) researchers across a range of academic disciplines, discussions with women living various adulterous or openly nonmonogamous lifestyles, and immersive visits to sex parties and sex workshops. We had such a fascinating–and at times heated–conversation with Dr. Martin, that we decided to devote the whole episode to it and skip the foreplay this time.Please enjoy, share, and get Dr. Martin’s book for even more info on the subject.About our Guesthttps://scienceofsexpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/9780316463614_Wednesday-Martin_Don-Flood.jpg ()http://www.wednesdaymartin.com/ (Dr. Wednesday Martin) is a feminist cultural critic and #1 New York Times bestselling author.

Horniness (AKA being sexually aroused) is a special state of body and mind. It’s a state during which we are much more likely to make risky decisions, not just about our sexual health, but about other things too. What else can make us forgo condoms, or lead us to believe our partners are not as risky as they may be?Our guest this week, Dr. Shayna Sparling, has been getting people sexually aroused in the lab (for research only!) and then tracking how this affects their thinking and decision-making. It’s a fascinating episode with some good take-home messages about sexual health. (Also, a glimpse into Dr. Zhana’s personal life and how she navigates using or not using condoms with new partners.)About our Guesthttps://scienceofsexpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/36269286_10156043797568558_4824109014918889472_o-1.jpg ()Dr. Shayna Sparling is a postdoctoral research fellow based at Ryerson University in Toronto and the National Team Manager for the Engage Study – a multi-site national study on the sexual health of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. She has a PhD in Applied Social Psychology, with a focus in Community Psychology and in Health Psychology. Her research focuses on sexual health decision making and condom negotiation and the factors that can affect these two processes, including sexual arousal, relationship motivation, interpersonal power, and partner familiarity.To read Dr. Sparling’s papers yourself, go https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00224499.2019.1579888 (here), https://www.utpjournals.press/doi/abs/10.3138/cjhs.252-A1 (here), https://www.utpjournals.press/doi/abs/10.3138/cjhs.243-A2 (here), and https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Shayna_Skakoon-Sparling/publication/301649232_The_Impact_of_Sexual_Arousal_on_Elements_of_Sexual_Decision_Making_Sexual_Self-Restraint_Motivational_State_and_Self-Control/links/5b1eaaaa458515270fc456ae/The-Impact-of-Sexual-Arousal-on-Elements-of-Sexual-Decision-Making-Sexual-Self-Restraint-Motivational-State-and-Self-Control.pdf (here).
