Sluts & Scholars Podcast Features Acclaimed Author Dr. Paul Joannides

Los Angeles, CA - Released today on sex-positive podcast, Sluts & Scholars, co-hosts Nicoletta Heidegger and Simone chat with author Dr. Paul Joannides.

“Dr. Joannides’ book is a go-to classic that you can find on any sex therapist’s bookshelf,” said sexologist Nicoletta Heidegger. “In this episode, we talk with Dr. Paul about what sex education is timeless, and also challenge some information with a more intersectional perspective.”

In the episode titled, Pleasure Is More Than What You Can Do With Your Penis with Dr. Paul Joannides, Nicoletta and Simone walk through the evolution of sex education and more with the famed Guide to Getting It On author.

Heidegger added,“One of my favorite topics that Dr. Paul artfully describes is that of ‘premature ejaculation’ and all of the common misconceptions about it. While some of the perspectives come from a heterocentric approach, I feel that anyone with a penis, and anyone who loves someone with a penis should give this a listen!”
