Hello, everyone!

I'm happy today to be able to talk to Louise Perry.

We'll have an interesting conversation about sexual dynamics and the relative role of women and men.

Louise Perry, my guest today, is UK-based journalist, author and columnist, writing on the topics of sexual freedom and the current state of feminism and the feminine.

Her recent book is The Case Against the Sexual Revolution, published in 2022, so a new book.

It notes the emergence of a widespread disillusionment with sex, particularly among the young male and female alike.

And discusses the long-term psychological and social error of a life of hedonistic urges in the midst of the upheaval of traditional marital concepts.

Louise is also the director of the other half, a new nonpartisan feminist think tank, and the host of maiden, mother, matriarch, a development progression, a podcast about sexual politics.

Hello, Louise. Thank you very much for agreeing to talk to me today.

You wrote a rather controversial book recently.

Let's talk about the book. I'm just going to walk through the chapters and give everybody a preview of where we're heading.

Chapter 1. Sex must be taken seriously.

That doesn't sound like much fun.

Number 2. Men and women are different. Well, that'll get you in trouble. That's for sure, too.

So some desires are bad. Loveless sex is not empowering. Consent is not enough, and people are not products.

Well, if you were trying to pick a fight in today's society, particularly with those on the left, I would say, you couldn't have picked six more contentious titles for chapters with the possible exception of people are not products.

I suppose most people on the left, even the radicals would agree with that statement, but the rest of it pretty much runs counter to.

I would say the juvenile delusions of our present culture.

I was interested today. I was going through your book again, and I noticed once again that you started with the story of Marilyn Monroe and Hugh Hefner.

I was just talking to my wife about that the other day.

I think it was brought in a conversation motivated by the fact that this podcast was coming up, and we talked about.
