DIY: The Wonderfully Weird History and Science of Masturbation The Wonderfully Weird History and Science of Masturbation

My favorite book of 2024

I learned so much on a subject I thought I knew everything about (🙄). DIY made me laugh out loud over and over and over. Sprankle is brilliant, hilarious, and surprisingly heartwarming here. Get it and read it.

If you think sex workers "sell their bodies," but coal miners do not, your view of labor is clouded by your moralistic view of sexuality.

Episode 450: The Weird History Of Masturbation - Sex and Psychology In today's show, we're talking about the history of masturbation and why our relationship with self-pleasure is so complicated.

While “No Nut November” is a relatively recent phenomenon, it has deep roots and reflects humans’ longstanding and very complicated relationship with self-pleasure. Dr. Eric Sprankle https://www.sexandpsychology.com/blog/podcast/episode-450-the-weird-history-of-masturbation/

Imagine worshipping a god who, despite creating 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe, is really mad about your dildos.

And on the Magnum: Dr. Eric Sprankle talks about his fascinating new book "DIY: The Wonderfully Weird History and Science of Masturbation." We talk semen retention, anti-wanking wellness influencers, and what science has learned about — er — how fetuses pass the time...

You can definitely tell he's a professional educator as the tone is very approachable, and actually quite relevant to the current online censorship push. I hope the book sells well.

I checked this out on Libby, but will be purchasing a soft - or maybe hard? (pun intended) - copy for myself.

Well-written and so far it’s a perfect blend of science, history, and religion mixed with very witty humour.

My favourite type of book regardless of topic, so bonus that it’s about sex.

Episode 405: What We Get Wrong About Masturbation (Essential Listen) - Sex and Psychology There's a surprising amount of anti-masturbation content on social media, so let's explore what the science actually says.

In today's show, @drsprankle.bsky.social and I are exploring what science says about the purported health benefits of semen retention, whether abstaining from masturbation affects testosterone, and whether you can really become “addicted” to masturbating. www.sexandpsychology.com/blog/podcast...
