b'For the 97th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Hallie Lieberman, author of\\xa0Buzz: The Stimulating History of the Sex Toy, to talk us through the highlight reel of sex toy history. Hallie literally has a Ph.D. in sex toys, so she\'s the perfect guide.\\nWe discuss how sex toys were illegal in Texas until 2008 (and scary indicators that sex-related laws are regressing!), the Kinsey Institute, Japanese shunga, Anthony Comstock and his terrible legacy of sexual suppression, Betty Dodson and how she linked masturbation to women\'s liberation, the incredible story of Gosnell Duncan, and more. Hallie also shares what she learned from writing "Women Explain Why They Buy Male Sex Dolls" for Buzzfeed\'s Sneaky Links series and her predictions for the intersection of sex toys and politics in the future. Plus, we swap gigolo stories.\\nFor more Hallie Lieberman:\\n\\nListen to Hallie\'s Joy Boy podcast about Gosnell Duncan\\n\\nCheck out Hallie\'s website hallielieberman.com\\n\\n\\nFollow Hallie on Twitter @hallielieberman\\n\\n\\nFollow Hallie on Instagram @hallielieberman\\n\\n\\n\\n***BUY A PRO-ABORTION SHIRT TO HELP SUPPORT OUR "ABORTION IN POST-ROE AMERICA" REPORTING TRIP (use code PRIVATE to save 10%): https://www.bonfire.com/store/private-parts-unknown/\\nHere\'s a playlist of our previous abortion-related episodes, including the "Men Have Abortions Too" series: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4BFDkcQYzdfq5YEV5buzzO?si=19a1d68b109845dd\\nPsst, Courtney has an 0nIyFan$, which is a horny way to support the show: https://linktr.ee/cocopeepshow\\nPrivate Parts Unknown is a proud member of the Pleasure Podcast network.
