This week Jer and Bryde are coming at you with a little host hang. Bryde is excited about a recent story that made headlines regarding a multi-million dollar insurance policy taken out on a pair of testicles. Publicity stunt aside, insuring body parts is not as uncommon as one might think. Speaking of publicity stunts, the Japanese government creating a dating app is not one. It's their final Hail Mary approach to address wildly declining birth rates. Might be faster if Japan just imported Nick Cannon for a couple of years.

We're back with another edition of Carnal Knowledge! A weekly rendezvous between sex and science.This time around Anna explores the findings of a study on women's experiences with genital touching, sexual pleasure, and orgasm. The study reveals that there is a wide range of preferences and techniques when it comes to pleasurable stimulation (duh). Some key findings include the importance of clitoral stimulation during intercourse, the preference for light to medium pressure on the vulva, and the various styles and patterns of touch that women enjoy. But guess what else is important? Emotional intimacy and communication with a partner! Pleasure isn't a one size fits all folks!
