02 - Am I Normal?

Have you ever wondered, 'Am I normal?' The word 'normal' by itself isn't particularly helpful, yet we can't help but question how far off the mark we might be, especially when it comes to our sex lives. Are we watching too much porn? Are we having enough sex? In this episode, we dive into how much porn is “too much porn,” the validity of the term 'porn addiction,' what line dancing has to do with partnered sex, and why Google shouldn’t be the judge of sexual normalcy.Featured Guests & Links:Patrick Bluett, certified sex therapist with The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), based in Portland, OR.
