From kinks to loss of libido to prosthetic show-biz penises, this author, podcast host and Kinsey Institute research fellow is here to shed light on the wide, wild world of sex.
You’d be wrong if at first you thought Dr. Justin Lehmiller’s Sex and Psychology podcast wasn’t for you. A show about the mindset behind sex, as opposed to the delightfully dirty fucking itself, you might think. Who needs it?
You, dear HUSTLERMagazine.com reader! You need it.
Dr. Lehmiller is a social psychologist and senior research fellow at The Kinsey Institute, the famed organization created to “foster and promote a greater understanding of human sexuality and relationships.” While the Kinsey Institute’s purpose hasn’t changed since its inception in 1947, its customs apparently have.
Asked if the place is still rife with all the wife-swappin’ and free lovin’ that characterized the organization’s first years under Alfred Kinsey, Lehmiller claims both innocence and ignorance.
“That’s not happening anymore,” he laughs. “Or, not to my knowledge!”
Dr. Lehmiller never intended to become a world-renowned sex expert. The product of a Catholic school upbringing, it wasn’t until he was studying for his Ph.D. in social psychology that he began to see sex as a possible focus of his work. Randomly assigned to be a teaching assistant for a human sexuality course, the Ph.D.-to-be immediately recognized a disconnect in his chosen field.
