J and J are back and joined by author of the cover story for The Atlantic’s December edition, “The Sex Recession”, Kate Julian. Kate’s research led her to the conclusion that millennials are having less sex than older generations. At 3:20 they talk about the Japanese phenomenon of sex through artificial intelligence and whether or not the trend will spread across the planet. At 11:55 they dissect whether or not sex is also down amongst married couples. At 16:20 they discuss whether the Me Too movement is affecting the downward trend in sexual encounters. At 30:50 they talk dive into their weird sexual encounter of the week where a guy’s partner says another man’s name during sex. At 42:30 a listener writes in wondering if moving to a new city might lead to an instant relationship with someone out of comfort. At 1:05:55 a listener writes in wondering if it’s a red flag that she’s never had a boyfriend at the ripe age of 23. At 1:18:50 they play red flag or deal breaker including- “everything is perfect but they’re obsessed with sitar music” “the person is absolutely perfect but when they have kids they would like to feed them like a baby bird (where someone chews up their food for them and feeds it to their child)” “ALL of their friends are of the opposite sex. Girl with all male friends, guy with all female friends” and “Only watches Netflix with the subtitles on”. Thanks to our sponsors!
