Description:

This episode was recorded on my horizontal does america tour, in October 2017. Horizontal is the podcast about intimacy that’s recorded while lying down, wearing robes. For two months, I circumnavigated the U.S. in a little blue Honda Civic. I drove 10,000 miles, solo, around the country with two intentions. 1) to feel free, and 2) to record with as many fascinating people as possible.

Dr. Lindsey Doe is the creator of the wildly popular YouTube series Sexplanations, (you should subscribe!) a doctor of Human Sexuality, and a certified clinical sexologist. You can hear the serendipitous, syncronicitous story of how she came to be on the podcast at the beginning of episode 40.

Lindsey is the sex ed teacher you never had. She’s the sex ed teacher you wish you’d had in high school. She’s the sex ed teacher you wish you had in middle school! She’s direct and clear, playful and enthusiastic. She’s matter-of-fact, but fun about it, like a medical doctor who gets excited about “cool anatomy.” She’s brilliant at breaking things down in a way we can all understand, without talking down to us, and imbuing it all with a certain kind of Hermione-like, academic, striped-sweater sort of cheerfulness that I find entirely refreshing.

In the first part of our episode, titled "sexplanations: horizontal with the sex ed teacher you never had," we talked about body hair, strong jawlines, Puritan sexuality, cognitive dissonance, the real definition of intercourse, anal sex, puckering, and happy trails.

In this second part of our conversation, we discuss the Tinder game, sexual disgust, mate pools, and demisexuality. Also, the matching hypothesis, the t-shirt experiment, what exactly is chemistry, poly-tana (a mash-up of polyamory and Mon-tana), and sushi on naked bodies.

Have you ever eaten sushi off of a naked body? I have!

Come lie down with us.
