    Post Nut Clarity: does an orgasm cause clear headedness?

    Post Nut Clarity: does an orgasm cause clear headedness?

    Today we are talking about "post nut clarity". A term used in a new drake lyric, was popularized on the Call Me Daddy podcast and is meant to explain why some people feel calm and clear headed after an orgasm. We look at the scientific research into the hormones involved in orgasm and why some people may feel good or actually even shameful after an orgasm.

    Rejection: why it hurts and how to deal with it

Scientists and psychologists have been studying why it physically hurts, why we have such extreme reactions to rejection and what are some tips and tricks to cope. Mitch was recently rejected - so today's episode is for him and anyone who is dealing with or may in the future deal with being rejected.

    Gay face is a real thing. The science is so fascinating as to why it might exist, and much of the research is meant to help understand the biological impacts of being queer.

    Cults vs. Communes: is it time to join one?

    Cults are fascinating but dangerous, so is it time to join a commune? Today we talk about the psychology of cults, and why communes may be a separate helpful way to live together and be better for the environment. The psychology of living lifestyles differently than the nuclear family creates a lot of tension, and the reasons are surprising. Today we break down the psychology, science and history of cults and communes to help you figure out if it is time to join one.
