Wednesday Martin's newest work of non-fiction, UNTRUE: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Adultery is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free cuts through the junk science and regressive cultural narratives that have shaped our beliefs about female infidelity for centuries, revealing a truth both liberating and disconcerting: women are no more “naturally monogamous” than men; nor are their libidos shrinking violets. Far from it.Offering insights from thirty experts as well as real women from all walks of life who refuse monogamy, UNTRUE also analyzes cultural shifts from plow agriculture to polyamory; introduces readers to two important "hidden figures" of American sex research; and takes readers on an immersive, fascinating journey—from the bonobo enclosure at the San Diego Zoo to an exclusive all-female sex party in Manhattan where most of the revelers identify as heterosexual. UNTRUE asserts that monogamy is a tighter fit for the fairer sex; that females of many species evolved to be “promiscuous”; and that female sexual autonomy may be the most meaningful metric of gender equality. Rich with game-changing data and polemical writing, it promises to take us far out of our comfort zone, and may change the way you think about women and sex forever.Wednesday Martin, Ph.D is a writer and feminist cultural critic. She is the author of seven books including instant #1 New York Times bestseller Primates of Park Avenue and UNTRUE: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Adultery is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free.

In this touching episode Terah Harrison, LPC, shares her trauma story for the first time on air, alongside tips and tools for finding great sex and deep connection in the aftermath. Thank you, Terah, for speaking up and sharing your vulnerability with us.Also, we answer a sex question about pegging (when a female-bodied individual tops/penetrates a male-bodied individual via a strap-on).About Terah: Terah Harrison is a Licensed Professional Counselor and hosts the podcast Make More Love Not War which has a clear mission of helping people have more sex and less fighting. She discovered the need for her podcast as she saw male clients at her private practice in Fort Worth Texas, who were struggling to understand their female partners. Most of these men were striving to be better partners but their strategies to achieve this only made things worse. Many times a simple change would improve their relationships dramatically.  With this amazing information that would benefit men and the women they love in hand Terah wanted to reach more men but how without bending space time? In her personal life she wanted her husband, Jeff, to go to couples therapy but alas, he would not. If a therapist’s husband won’t go to therapy how many other men are missing out on the knowledge that would get them more sex? She noticed Jeff listening to podcasts every day and talking about what he learned from them.  The solution hit her like a bolt of lightning – create a podcast that will bring therapy to the men who for whatever reason don’t go.Since Terah started the podcast she has been able to interview some amazing experts in love and relationships- authors, professors, therapists, and coaches. She has also created a series that gives men a back stage pass into a woman’s mind called Whine With Wine and another series that highlights power couples as well as couples in conflict.Terah’s podcast may be directed towards men but her EVIL Plan is really to help women have more connected relationships with men where they feel heard and understood in a way that leads to MORE SEX and LESS FIGHTING for all!!!
