This episode is all about our sexual desire around the ass. As an erogenous zone, our booty is built for arousal and pleasure. Jazmin and Erik get sexy with it, blending personal stories with surprising cultural and historical facts, such as where Twerking comes from and how the Kama Sutra became prudish under English rule. As always, the co-host’s banter drives the episode between every sensual and provocative turn.

Jazmin and Erik explore the biological, historical, cultural and societal impacts of why so many people are weird to talk about butts.

With their always engaging back and forth conversation, the show’s co-hosts cover a wide range of topics including human waste as disgust (the sex-disgust paradox), anthropology, the behavioral immune system, as well as the Roman Empire and the Victorian era to get to the bottom of the taboo and shame around discussing the ass. You’ll also find some fascinating stats ranging from bidet use in Italy all the way to how Japanese women hid their farts during the Edo period!
