It’s Masturbation Month, so today’s episode is going to be all about self-pleasure! The origins of Masturbation Month date back to 1995, when US Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders stated that masturbation is a natural part of human sexuality and something that should perhaps be taught in sex ed. Elders’ comments set off a political firestorm that ultimately led to her being fired. To mark her unjust dismissal, May 14 was declared National Masturbation Day, which was later expanded to include the entire month of May.

For this show, we’re revisiting some of my favorite clips on the history and science of self-pleasure. My guests include Dr. Eric Sprankle, Marie Aoyama from TENGA, professor Carole Hooven, urologist Joshua Gonzalez, sleep researcher Michele Lastella, and sex therapist Emily Jamea.

Some of the questions this fascinating group of folks addresses for us include:

How have views on masturbation changed over time?
What do people fantasize about when they masturbate?
Does abstaining from masturbation boost testosterone?
Can avoiding sex and masturbation actually increase athletic performance?
How can we have a healthier relationship with self-pleasure?
Can masturbation help us to fall asleep faster?
