Episode 20: Sexual Orientation vs. Erotic Orientation & Why It Matters

from The Modern MILF Podcast · host Bethany Hale Pearson

In this episode of The Modern MILF Podcast, I unpack the difference between sexual orientation — who you are attracted to — and erotic orientation — what turns you on sexually. Drawing on research in sexology and social psychology (including surveys by Dr. Justin Lehmiller), I explore why these dimensions of human sexuality don’t always match, and how that understanding can support greater self-acceptance, better communication, and healthier relationships.
