PODCAST | Our Modern Sex Lives | After millennia of human existence, we’re still figuring out one of our most fundamental behaviors — sex. What makes sex good, and what makes it feel unsatisfying or even shameful? How do we navigate the fact that what’s erotic is different for each person? And perhaps most importantly, how can we get more comfortable simply talking about it? Today’s episode brings together two experts on sexuality and culture to discuss the complicated landscape of sex in our modern world. Activist, author, and podcast host Dan Savage has been writing the sex advice column “Savage Love” since 1991. Washington Post columnist Christine Emba is the author of “Rethinking Sex: A Provocation,” which explores the failures and potential of the sexual revolution in a post-#MeToo world. Kelly Corrigan, host of the PBS show “Tell Me More with Kelly Corrigan,” moderates their candid and lively conversation about building healthy sex lives and nurturing the universal need for physical and emotional connection.
