A recent New York Times article was titled “The Troubling Trend in Teenage Sex”. Before I even clicked, I knew what that troubling trend was since I had recently attended a medical conference where I heard a lecture from Dr. Debbie Herbenick about the increasing numbers of young adults who were including CHOKING as part of their sexual repertoire. Today I am having a conversation with Dr. Herbenick about how common this practice has become, why it is problematic, along with other current trends in sexual practices across America, and in all age groups.
- What SEXUAL PLEASURE looks like and if that has changed over the years
- What SPECIFICALLY is HAPPENING when someone incorporates “choking” into their sexual practice
- HOW COMMON this practice is
- If this is CONSENSUAL
- If CHOKING is common off college campuses
- The short- and long-term MEDICAL CONSEQUENCES of choking
- WHAT PARENTS of teens and young adults NEED to KNOW
- HOW TO TALK TO YOUR TEEN and young adult about difficult topics
- If people have DIED from this practice
- The LEGAL PROSPECTIVE of rough sex
- Dr. Herbenick’s NEW RESEARCH on SEX TOYS and vibrator use
- If the ORGASM GAP is narrowing among adult men and women
- INNOVATIVE SEX TOYS such as The Womanizer
- If sexual practices today mirror what is seen in PORNOGRAPHY
- As people AGE, do they watch more or less porn?
- If men watch different types of pornography than women
- How PORN has CHANGED
