Description
As a child, I was debilitatingly shy yet also obsessed with hearing others tell their stories. This love of story telling became the training wheels I used to learn to conquer my shyness. After all, conversing is much easier if one person is doing most of the talk while the other peppers the conversation with questions. Over time, my social survival mechanism became my default socialization tactic and it’s never really gone away. Being the passive receiver of the story telling tradition is an immensely pleasurable experience for me. And so, when I decided that I wanted my own podcast, it was only logical that the podcast involve personal narratives. Human sexuality has been a personal, academic, and professional pursuit of mine for many years, so naturally, it was the focus that I chose for the podcast. The idea for “The Sexual Philosopher” finally coagulated after I listened to Lea Thau’s podcast “Strangers” and Tina Horn’s podcast “Why are people into that?!” And thus a podcast was born.
