Become a Wordslut w/ Amanda Montell

<p>On any given day, how do you talk about sex? Do you bone? Screw? Make love? According to my guest Amanda Montell, author of Wordslut, Cultish, and host of the podcast “Sounds Like a Cult,” the words we use to discuss sex reveals our attitudes about sex as a whole – even shaping the way we show up in the bedroom.   </p><br><p>In this fascinating best of episode, Amanda and I talk about sex slang and body part euphemisms, like the fact that we frequently cute-ify female genitals to make them less threatening. But before you go, “oh this is thinky academic stuff,” know this: practically-speaking, your sex life WILL improve as your communication improves. Listen in, as Amanda and I play with language to get the sex we want. </p><br><p><strong>For More Amanda Montell:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/41716694-wordslut" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language</a></li><li><a href="https://www.soundslikeacult.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sounds Like a Cult Podcast</a> | <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/55338982-cultish" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism</em></a></li><li><a href="http://amandamontell.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amanda_montell/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/amandamontell?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
