Hello friends, welcome back to the show.

My guest today is Dr. David Lay, a clinical psychologist and a board member of the sexual

health alliance whose research focuses on issues relating to sexuality, pornography, and mental

health.

Your partner, being intimate with another guy, should evolutionarily be one of the biggest

fears in a man's life.

Actually, encouraging this behaviour seems almost unthinkable, and yet, cooking is becoming

a much more common pursuit, and one of the most popular categories of online porn.

Expect to learn the stats around how common cook-holding actually is, whether cook-holding

could cover up a husband's desire to be with another man, how often this goes wrong and

destroys a relationship, whether sex addiction is an actual thing, some surprising research

around porn addiction, how religiosity predicts dysfunction with porn, and much more.

This is an area of research which, perhaps unsurprisingly, is not massively delved into,

so Dr. David Lay gets to own almost an entire category here as being one of the number

one pro-porn and cooking researchers on the planet.

But it is very interesting, and despite me not being able to perhaps put myself into

the mindset of this, the explanation at least begins to illuminate what might be going

on at the moment.

This is very, very interesting.

Enjoy.
