b'Where do men get their earliest messages about sex and intimacy? Why do they talk about banging / pounding / hitting it (like they\\u2019re at a construction site), and how does this conditioning affect your sex life \\u2013 no matter your gender? Peggy Ornstein is the author of several iconic books on teens and sex, but on today\\u2019s fan favorite episode, she joins me to talk about Boys & Sex: a fascinating account of young men as they navigate hookups, porn and relationships, as told by the boys she interviewed.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, you\\u2019ll learn how even in the shadow of #MeToo, boys are still confused about having mutually fulfilling sex, while still being a \\u201cman.\\u201d Listen - when it comes to masculinity, Peggy is an expert.\\xa0She explains why she doesn\\u2019t love the term \\u201ctoxic masculinity.\\u201d She recognizes that men get a confusing message: be dominant, but don\\u2019t be too aggressive. Reporting from the front lines of bro culture, Peggy reveals the sex conundrum that men so often find themselves in, and ways we can all evolve to have relationships that are more interesting, more erotic, and more emotionally intelligent.\\xa0\\nFor More Information on Peggy Orenstein:\\nWebsite | Instagram | Twitter\\nBoys & Sex\\nGirls & Sex\\n Hosted on Acast.
