Episode Description
Sex can be fun and exciting, but it also raises all kinds of issues about power, control, and freedom. In this episode, we'll be looking at how people in Shakespeare's day were understanding sexual anatomy, pleasure, and reproduction, and discuss how the debates and anxieties that surfaced back then connect to some of our present-day divisions. We'll be using doctor-approved language—from multiple centuries—but we'll also be talking about sexual pleasure and consent, and referencing scenarios that some may find difficult to hear. Listener discretion advised.
