Advice Goddess Radio, "Best Of" Replay, Tonite, 7-8pm PT, 10-11pm ET: 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 therapy and research.

Join me for a "Best Of" replay -- 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 week's show, Nina Teicholz On Why Butter, Meat, And Cheese Are The Foundation Of A Healthy Diet.

Saturated fat is your friend. Really.

It turns out everything we've been told about eating fat is wrong. On tonight's show, meticulous journalist Nina Teichholz will lay out the scientific errors, ego, and dangerous misrepresentations that have underpinned the dietary dogma of the past 60 years.

She'll also lay out the findings of solid science -- why eating more dietary fat will lead us to better health and fitness.

Join us as she discusses all of this and more from her brand new book, "The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat & Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet."
