Emily Witt is a freelance writer and the author of Future Sex.\n\n \u201cI think I had always thought that\u2014maybe this is coming from a WASPy, protestant background\u2014if I presented myself as overtly sexual in any way, it would be a huge turnoff. That they would see me as a certain type of person. They wouldn\u2019t have respect for me. And I thought this both professionally\u2014I thought maybe writing this book was going to be really bad for my career, that nobody would take me seriously anymore\u2014and also that nobody would want to date me if I was too honest. In both counts the opposite happened.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Audible, and Wunder Capital for sponsoring this week's episode.\n@embot\nemilywitt.net\nWitt on Longform\n[02:45] Future Sex (Farrar, Straus & Giroux \u2022 2016)\n[03:00] "Online Dating Diary" (London Review of Books \u2022 Oct 2012)\n[03:15] Witt\u2019s Archive at The Observer\n[05:30] Witt\u2019s Archive at Miami New Times\n[05:45] "Cinema \xe9 Luxo" (n+1 \u2022 Oct 2009) [sub req\u2019d]\n[06:15] "Miami Party Boom" (n+1 \u2022 Mar 2010) [sub req\u2019d]\n[06:30] Gus Garcia-Roberts on Longform\n[09:30] Thy Neighbor\u2019s Wife (Gay Talese \u2022 Harper Perennial \u2022 2009)\n[10:00] "An Evening in the Nude with Gay Talese" (Aaron Latham \u2022 New York \u2022 Jul 1973)\n[11:15] "That Room in Cambridge" (n+1 \u2022 Mar 2011) [sub req\u2019d]\n[19:15] "What Do You Desire?"
