Charnel Hunter

Anita realizes she never got 'the sex talk' growing up. And even if she had, it probably wouldn't have gone like this.

Meet the guests:

  • Emily Nagoski, author and sex educator, introduces a new framework for thinking about sex and pleasure.
  • Carin Bondar, biologist and science communicator, talks about what humans can learn from understanding how sex works in the animal kingdom.
  • Anita's parents reflect on why they never gave her the sex talk and what they hope to do differently with their grandkids.
