SPECIAL EPISODE
Magdalene Taylor's OpEd for the New York Times, "Have Most Sex Please," went viral this week—titillating incels and upsetting asexuals across the land.
While many will disagree, I see Magdalene as a bridge between the mainstream and heretical spheres—that rare journalist who still approaches her material with clear, open eyes. It's not often, after all, that we see a NYT piece that's positive about sex without being "sex positive" (a boner-killing academic term that paints sex as an elaborate and exhausting project to undertake).
In this episode, Magdalene diagnoses our sexless society and provides the perspective of "26 year old living in Brooklyn." We talk about attraction, female sexuality, and the depolarization of the sexes. Maybe, just maybe, she's a genuine whitepill.
