Let's have 'em. 

(Looks like Shan Boodram aka ShanBoody is available to be on and I am absolutely giddy about this one.)

EDIT: These are all GREAT questions and very, very relatable! Love them. Also I'll just use first names or initials when I read 'em, in case anyone's feeling shy. You can also message them at me directly at helloalieward@gmail.com if you're wanting me to read them as anonymous!

Is there a normal development timeline for sexuality? Like, I distinctly remember a friend masterbating all the time when we were little. She was like like 5-10 years old. I never thought anything of it until recently, when I was realizing that it wasn't something any of my other friends did. Is that weird?

I heard recently that there isn't a "gay gene" or a "straight gene", but genes that are attraction based. Such as an "attracted to men gene". I found this really interesting, but is this a load of Malarkey or am I allowed to pass this information along? (I already have been so I hope I'm not lying.)

How can men "unlearn" social stereotypes about sexuality? What would you teach the Aziz Ansaris of the world to get them to refocus on their partner's needs instead of their own? Also, why am I alone? :p

It's often said that porn negatively effects men and women's views on sex, creating an unrealistic set of expectations, but is there anything positive someone can learn from porn?

Kimberly Minton

Is it normal or odd that a woman can feel absolutley no sensation during sex from penetration. I mean NONE. *asking for a friend."

Victoria Patterson

Where is the line between normal slumps in the sex life during a longterm relationship and slumps you should be concerned about? Also any tips for breaking a slump that are more casual than the over the top cheesey cosmo style tips?

In junior high they had us take health class (sex ed) taught by the male gym teacher for the boys, and the lady gym teacher for the girls. Man it was awkward. How would you change sex ed for kids if you could?

What is the biggest misconception you have come across when it comes to sexuality?

Erin Kelly

Why do I make horrible decisions!? JK. Real question. How linked is emotion to sexual experience with a person. How much does lust effect love and visa versa?

Al Martinez

Monogamy is not always the norm in nature. Does that mean that monogamy in humans is not necessarily natural? Is monogamy or the lack of it considered an evolved trait?

Indigo Anderson-Moore

Is there a certain amount of personal sexual experience that should come with being a sexologist, or can a person who is interested in joining the field of Sexology just have a passion for sex related knowledge ?

Al Martinez

Pheromones. Can we really be attracted to someone's pheromones? What are pheromones? Is it someone's scent or something beyond that? Also why are sometimes sexually attracted to someone who we might not like any other way.

First of all Shan is one of the coolest people ever so I’m SO excited for this episode! Secondly, why do some straight/bi/lesbian women alike get turned on by male gay porn? Lesbian porn I can understand because boobs are universally appreciated, but overall dicks can be pretty weird to look at.

Daniel Lunsford

Is there a solution for sexual dysfunction (inability to orgasm) due to taking SSRIs?

Jill Kerswill

Why do fetishes exist? I see some validity in the connection between being breast fed and digging big tatas and control play with ropes etc, but why feet? Why smooshing your face into bread? Why dressing up like a giant plush toy? Keep up the great work Alie!

Can you ask about consent? Particularly pertaining to the issue highlighted by Aziz Ansari. I can relate to having consensual sex that made me feel uncomfortable and trapped once it began. Which has made me wonder if I’ve done that to someone else and failed to read the nonverbal signs. The same signs that were overlooked by my partner. How often should we ask for consent? What’s the best way to say no once you’ve already said yes?

Spencer Toth

Oh also, is there any new science that helps us understand sexual orientation? More specifically - how can I reconcile my belief that gays are born this way AND that sexuality is fluid and able to evolve.

Matty Sallin

I'm curious about the sexual orientation of trans people. Do more transmen identify as gay or straight? How about transwomen? Any ideas why?

Courtney Sobieski

What is the biggest misconception people have about sexology? What's the weirdest question some has asked when they 100% didn't understand what sexology was?
