Episode notes

Sally Kohn: We often put consent in this like, almost like a crime territorya rather than as a skill that you should be learning the whole time. She says it's more complicated with parents who have to touch their kids to take care of them. Kohn: Being vulnerable makes it more likely to connect in all ways with another person. " Consent is a bare minimum crite"

Sex is such a big part of being human. It's how our species persists, but it's also so much more than that. So why do we feel so uncomfortable talking about it? Emily Nagoski is a sex educator who argues that learning how to talk openly about sex — and unlearning some damaging misconceptions— can give you access to a more authentic and fulfilling sex life. She has a Ph.D. in health behavior, clinical internship experience at the Kinsey Institue, and is the author of the best-selling book “Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life.” To learn more about "How to Be a Better Human," host Chris Duffy, or find footnotes and additional resources, please visit: go.ted.com/betterhuman
