Once taboo, now good for you: the psychology of masturbation
This week we're talking about something intimate … And at-times taboo … Masturbation. From self-love, to disordered behaviour, and back again, how our perceptions of masturbation have changed over the course of history and why it's still linked to shame and confusion for some. Also — why do humans (and other animals) masturbate in the first place? Just a heads up, if the topic didn't give it away, this episode may not be suitable for little ones. After listening, why not check out Sex is Weird, a series from our fellow science podcast, What the Duck?!
