Neuroscientist Dr. Nicole Prause grew up in Texas, where sex education served up a platter of abstinence garnished with jump-scare photos of untreated STIs. Now, she runs a basement lab where people masturbate... for science! Michelle and Nicole talk about why porn doesn't meet the scientific bar for addiction, how anxiety hijacks arousal in bed, and what her research is finding about the moments right before orgasm.
