Summary

When the hit podcast Science Vs went to find the facts about the “male G-spot,” it was faced with remarkably little research to draw from. So the team collaborated with academics on one of the largest surveys about anal sex and masturbation. We discuss what they learned, on this episode of Science Quickly with Rachel Feltman and special guest Wendy Zukerman of Science Vs.  Recommended reading: Mind-Blowing Orgasms: Does the Male G-Spot Exist?  How to Explore Your Sexuality, according to Science   Asexuality Research Has Reached New Heights.
