Technological progress isn’t limited only to devices such as smartphones – it also affects the field of sexuality with every week bringing new sex-related innovations and discoveries. Although given how dynamically this field is evolving, one podcast episode is only enough to “scratch the surface”, Dr. Valeria and I decided to talk about five such innovations which caught our attention and which show potential for being helpful, interesting, and even a bit controversial. The innovations include a new online STI testing app; a streaming-based online sex ed school; an invention that aims to normalize sexual desire by applying electro-stimulation to the brain; and two groundbreaking sex toys. Tune in to Episode 80 of the Get Sex Smart Podcast to find out:
- how sex toys and apps can affect accessibility
- an easy way to get tested for STIs and share your results wth partners
- how to access reliable sexual education which includes the perspectives of queer people and people of color – regardless of your location
- what biohacking is and how you can use it to impact your libido
