Episode notes

In this chapter, the speaker delves into the fascinating world of reproductive biology, specifically focusing on penises. They discuss the definition of a penis, its different forms and functions, and how its composition varies across the animal kingdom. The speaker also sheds light on the development of the clitoris and penis in humans and the role of hormones in determining their outcome.

Dongs. Schlongs. Peters. Intromittent organs. Gamete cannons. Biologist, gonad researcher, and Phallologist Dr. Emily Willingham joins to chat about peckers big and small, plain and fancy, barbed, coiled, colossal, pickled, and efficient. Also on the agenda: how the pressures of masculinity affect self-image, what actually contributes to a partner’s pleasure, what can cause willies to go wonky (and how to get back on track,) life beyond the binary, and sensual turtles. Stick around to the end for friendly fellatio advice from penis-owners; boy howdy it’s a hard episode to pass up.
