Advice Goddess Radio, LIVE Tonight, 7-8pm PT: Dr. Jesse Bering On Sex, What's "Normal," And The Sexual Deviant In All Of Us
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.

Join me tonight for a thought-provoking, mind-opening show on the underpinnings of our sexuality.

Dr. Jesse Bering's book, Perv, is subtitled "The Sexual Deviant in All of Us." This is a book about weird sex but it's also a book about all of the ways that even "normal" people fall along the spectrum of "perversions."  

Tonight's show, like Bering's book, will be a fascinating inside look into how our specific sexual desires seem to be shaped in childhood, how sexually not "normal" some of the most seemingly normal people are, and how human psychology leads us to find others' sex practices upsetting and creepy instead of just different from our own.

As Bering writes, "Humans aren't the only sex deviants in the animal kingdom. But we are the only ones to stigmatize each other as disgusting perverts."

Don't miss last Last Sunday's guest, who was not a behavioral scientist like most of my guests, but was one I couldn't resist having on, because the subject he studied in depth -- the asshole -- is one most of us are forced to deal with on a daily basis, and sometimes repeatedly. UC Irvine philosophy professor Aaron James, my guest, is the author of the wonderfully titled "Assholes: A Theory."

Listen as we dig deep into asshole-ishness, as Aaron James answers questions including: What is an asshole? What makes an asshole tick? Is it possible to engage in successful asshole management -- and if so, how? Is it possible for an asshole to reform? And why does worrying that you are an asshole mean you probably have nothing to worry about?
