Podcast appearances and mentions of Peggy Orenstein

In today's episode, Dr. Delaney Ruston talks with author Peggy Orenstein about a media-fueled risky sexual practice that is happening among some teens today — choking, also called sexual strangulation. Orenstein, who has spent many years researching sexuality among youth for her books “Girls and Sex” and “Boys and Sex,” investigated the topic of sexual choking for a New York Times article that was published last month. Today, Orenstein shares some of her findings from that investigation, including the influence of pornography and other media on this new trend.  What are the psychological and physical risks of this practice? And what are ways to have productive conversations with young people on this and related topics? This episode also includes a 19-year-old discussing her concerns about sexual choking. This episode is intended for adult audiences.  Featured Expert Peggy Orenstein Research References The Troubling Trend in Teen Sex -New York Times Article by Peggy Orenstein What is rough sex, who does it, and who likes it?

Her man used to enjoy chewing tobacco, and it messed up his teeth. He has quit at her behest, but now he really needs to see a dentist. She doesn't want to shame him for his nasty mouth, but she also doesn't want to kiss him. How can she gently guide him into a dentists chair? A trans man is having a hard time finding women to date him. He insists he's a catch, but the ladies aren't biting. Why?  On the Magnum, Dan welcomes Peggy Orenstein, author of eight books including Boys & Sex and Girls & Sex. Her essay in the New York Times about the ubiquity of erotic choking among young people went viral, freaking parents out. She and Dan talk about the dangers (both physical and emotional) of choking and then move on to more pleasant subjects: Like the Madonna/whore complex! And wanting someone you cannot have.  Lastly, a gay man has a wet & messy kink. Lube wrestling? Let's go! Pie in the face? Yes please! But even though his boyfriend is game, the caller still feels shame and has a hard time asking for the thing that turns him on the most.  You know what turns us on? Your calls.

Holy Baby Bump, talk about the best sex of your life! In this week's story, journalist, essayist, and author Tracy Clark-Flory is eight months pregnant and the bigger her belly grows, the more distant she feels from her usual spank bank cravings.

In the early days of the Covid lockdown, many of us found ourselves taking up new hobbies, like playing guitar or baking bread. But Peggy Orenstein went a little further. A lifelong knitter, Peggy decided to try making a sweater from scratch. She taught herself to shear sheep, spin and dye yarn, and other skills. The surprising life lessons she learned are the subject of her new book, "Unraveling: What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater."

Liz and Sarah have a ton of work to do, but they're having trouble getting into “the flow.” How can they stop being distracted by ping ponging projects and focus on one thing at a time? In Take A Hike, Liz shares her happiness dilemma. She loves being social but she always dreads whatever plan she's made once she's made it. Then Sarah talks about why she created a “cloffice,” and how it has transformed her work life. This week's Hollywood Hack will help with flow: use a 2 cup thermal coffee pot. Finally, Sarah recommends the memoir Unraveling, by Peggy Orenstein.

Writer and avid hiker Peggy Orenstein is exactly the kind of person you should send off into the wilderness with an iPhone and a pair of hiking boots. And for this episode, we did just that. In October 2022, Slovenia rolled out the 167-mile Juliana Trail, a route that circles Slovenia's Triglav National park and the Julian Alps and takes walkers back in time. Peggy tackled a portion of the trail and along the way, she found: Well-preserved remnants of World War I. A rich farm-to-table cuisine. Cultural legacies, including a lengthy history of beekeeping. Fantastic hiking, that leads along the Sava River and through icon spots like Lake Bled. Don't miss these moments! 2:37: An interview with Peggy. 8:15: Her first day on the trail. 11:27: How the Juliana Trail came together. 14:33: Exploring Slovenian culture along the trail. 19:31: Visiting Lake Bohinj. 21:08: Losing her phone on the trail. 26:47: Toasting with a septuagenarian on a mountaintop. 30:58: The last day on the trail. 34:16: Peggy's ode to American pop music In the episode, you'll understand what it's like to hike the Juliana Trail, the trail's highlights, and how Peggy faced down her inner overachiever.

For readers of Peggy Orenstein and Rebecca Traister, an authoritative, big think look at pornography in all its facets - historical, religious, and cultural.In the 1960s, sex researchers Masters and Johnson declared the end of the fake orgasm. Nearly two decades later, in 1982, evangelical activist Tim LaHaye foretold that the entire pornography industry would soon be driven out of business. Neither prediction proved true. Instead, with the rise of the internet, pornography saturates the American conscience more than ever and has reshaped our understanding of sexuality, relationships, media, and even the nature of addiction.Dr. Kelsy Burke has spent the last five years researching and interviewing internet pornography's opponents and its sympathizers. In The Pornography Wars, Burke does a deep dive into the long history of pornography in America and then turns her gaze on our present society to examine the ways this industry touches on the most intimate parts of American lives. She offers a complete understanding of the major players in the debates around porn's place in society: everyone from sex workers, activists, therapists, religious leaders, and consumers. In doing so, she addresses and debunks the myths that surround porn and porn usage while showing how everything from the way we teach children about sex to the legal protections for what can be published is tied up in the deeply complicated battles over pornography.Sweeping, savvy, and deeply researched, The Pornography Wars is a necessary and comprehensive new look at pornography and American life.Kelsy Burke is an award-winning sociologist and author of Christians under Covers. She has spent the last decade studying how people talk about sex in America and is currently an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her work has been supported by multiple grants and fellowships, including an award from the National Science Foundation, and her writing has appeared in The Washington Post The Huffington Post, Newsweek, Salon, and Slate.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://wellingtonsquarebooks.indiecommerce.com/book/9781635577365

Scarlett posted a video about women's pleasure in the GBW Discord server and discusses some of the important points with Vixen and Lila. The video in question is a TED Talk from Peggy Orenstein, who has spent time investigating what girls are taught to feel about their sexuality at a young age. Bringing up this video launches Scarlett and the girls into a conversation about the orgasm gap and why women are less likely to expect or anticipate pleasure from a sexual encounter than men are. Scarlett shares that women statistically feel entitled to sex but not to receiving pleasure from sex, to which both Lila and Scarlett anecdotally agree. Vixen, however, has had an opposite experience–she describes herself as hyper-orgasmic with her partners and has only had very few sexual encounters that did not end in orgasm. The girls begin to break down the potential reasons for their differing sexual profiles, beginning with their experiences with sexual education in grade school. The girls take turns discussing their childhood experiences with their sexuality and the education methods their schools and parents followed on the matter. Scarlett also brings up the connection between pain and pleasure during sex and why so many more women report feeling pain during sex than men do. The girls discuss the lack of education they received as young women on their own anatomy–leading them to believe that men are even less equipped for truly understanding female pleasure. Scarlett shares some of the most crucial advice for men when having sex with their female partners: allowing space for a woman to feel relaxed and without pressure to orgasm is the best way to help her achieve that pleasure during sex. This leads to Vixen schooling the girls on the variety of different types of orgasms and approaches to sex, as well as her own advice to Scarlett and Lila and other women who have a harder time achieving orgasm during sex. Before the end of the conversation, Scarlett brings it way back with a history lesson showing just how long women's pleasure has been debated. Sound off in Discord! What do you think–where does the shame surrounding women's pleasure come from? And where does the orgasm gap really come from? Purity culture? Lack of educational resources? Bad communication?

“Women spent so much time in the ancient world spinning, like they spent all their time, any spare moment. And spinsters were not bad, it wasn't bad to be a spinster the way we think of it, spinsters were, you know, respected members of households, single women who didn't have the responsibilities of husbands or children, who could spin more, and make money. And, you know, you think about things like marauding around when they sailed across the Atlantic and their little hats and everything, but you don't think about the sails. You don't think like, who made those sails? Who made the thread that made all those sails? Who do you think did that? How many years did it take those women to make one lousy sail, you know, I mean, it took two years of women's labor to make a sail. So the kind of invisible labor of women in all of that…” So says, Peggy Orenstein, a celebrated journalist who is acclaimed for her insightful analysis of gender, sexuality, and identity issues. She's written several best-sellers about the topic, including Girls & Sex and Boys & Sex. But that's not what we're going to talk about today. During COVID, Peggy took a right turn, and an entirely different type of book emerged, one that is actually just as radical. In Unraveling, she explores the depths of her grief and tackles societal issues through the process of making a sweater from scratch—including shearing a sheep and carding and dying the wool—ultimately discovering the power of creativity and connection. While sharing her journey of making the sweater, which is actually riveting, she also unravels the rich history and culture of spinning and weaving while exposing the sobering reality of fast fashion and its detrimental impact on our environment. This is a book about something that sounds simple, yet is actually about everything, offering the potential for a genuine shift in how we perceive the world.  MORE FROM PEGGY ORENSTEIN: Unraveling: What I Learned about Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater Boys & Sex: Young Men on Hook-Ups, Love, Porn, Consent, and Navigating the New Masculinity Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape Don't Call Me a Princess: Essays on Girls, Women, Sex and Life Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of New Girlie-Girl Culture Peggy Orenstein's Website Follow Peggy on Instagram and Twitter To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and many people hunkered down at home, author Peggy Orenstein decided to embark on a more ambitious project: shearing sheep and making a sweater. She talks with us about that experience and her new book, Unraveling: What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater.

Award-winning journalist and internationally recognized speaker on gender issues, sex and relationships, Peggy Orenstein discusses her latest book, "Unraveling."Then designer and author Cyndie Spiegel shares how a series of family tragedies during the pandemic made her reconsider everything in her book, "Microjoys."

Life lessons are where you find them. Peggy Orenstein found them in her quest to build a sweater from scratch. When I say that Peggy created a sweater from scratch, I mean wrestling a sheep to the ground and relieving it of its wool. Carding said wool by hand while Zooming with her father, who sometimes knew who she was. Spinning that lovely fluff, with all the typical push-pull-stop-go of a beginning spinner. Dyeing the yarn with colors from her backyard and beyond. After that, knitting the sweater was a breeze, sort of. (And despite the title of her book, Unraveling: What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater, it's definitely not the world's ugliest.) But there were more lessons to be taken from this year-long odyssey. Lessons about fast fashion, regenerative agriculture, ancient goddesses, a planet at risk. The list goes on. The handmade thread, metaphorical or physical, ties together our human history, not neatly but with complicated and important entanglements. Unraveling is not a how-to book. If you know much about any of the steps in the process of turning wool into wardrobe, you will smile or sometimes wince at the author's fearless approach. But so much to think about! She gives us so much to think about! Visit the Long Thread Podcast website (https://longthreadmedia.com/podcast).

Peggy Orenstein, the Bay Area author, took advantage of her time during the pandemic to embark on a unique adventure at a ranch in Sonoma County. During this conversation and in her book "Unraveling," she shares her story about learning the art of sheep shearing, wool dying, spinning, and even creating a sweater from start to finish. As she recounts her journey, she weaves together themes of freedom, bravery, politics, and modernity.

During the darkest days of the pandemic lots of people read books, played video games, mastered Zoom (sorta) or tried their hand baking sourdough. Peggy Orenstein did those things, too, but she also handmade her very own sweater and then WROTE a book about it. So what, you may be thinking, lots of people knit. No. She really made her own sweater. Like she found a sheep (well, three actually) and learned to shear them for their fleece in order to make her own yarn kind of sweater. But, truly, that was only part of the experience she shares in her book Unraveling: What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater. She also learned a lot about herself, her family, her grief and her grit in the process.  If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you.

A couple of years ago, penned in by the pandemic, writer Peggy Orenstein “felt an inexplicable, unquenchable urge to confront a large animal while wielding a razor-sharp, juddering clipper; shear off its fleece; and figure out how to make it into a sweater.” Her new memoir, “Unraveling,” tells the story of that journey – from shearing a sheep named Martha and spinning and dyeing her wool, to designing and knitting that sweater. Woven through, Orenstein reckons with the environmental and cultural toll of the textile industry, the history of women's work, the evolution of fairy tales and her own midlife change and loss. Guests: Peggy Orenstein, author, "Unraveling: What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater," "Boys and Sex," "Girls and Sex" and "Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture"

Heidi and Ellen talk to Caroline and Yhu Ahn. Both are trying to figure out their next steps forward after being stay-at-home moms for many years. Caroline is in the midst of a major transition that includes a divorce after a long marriage and an empty nest after 3 children. She would love to find work that is creative and emblematic of this new stage (9:28).  Yhu Ahn has young children. She would like to get back to her writing and feel the pulse of her life outside the home (20:15). Heidi and Ellen also talk about the movie The Banshees of Inisherin; the shows Better Things and Station Eleven (Ellen is re-watching both); the web series Grandmas Project; and the books Bookends by Zibby Owens and Unraveling by Peggy Orenstein. Ellen also reads a passage from Tarot for Change by Jessica Dore (32:59).

Peggy Orenstein is the author of many books including her latest UNRAVELING. She and Zibby met in person in L.A. to discuss everything from loss and motherhood to sheep and writer advice. Peggy opened up about the loss of her father and how she experienced the poignant moments she wrote about in her book. She also discussed the loss of her mother and how much she wished she could chat with her mother at the same age to get advice. Their conversation was soulful, meaningful and original. Zibby said she felt like she'd just been to therapy afterwards. The two also discussed Peggy's earlier memoir Waiting for Daisy which Zibby read when it first came out. Now, they are friends. :-)Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3HhkVsZSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here. Now there's more!

Peggy Orenstein is a journalist and author. Her latest book is Unraveling. “The challenge is… to not want to say, I need to know what the book is about. I need to have my chapters. I need to know what exactly I'm looking for. Because it's really scary to just go out and report and have trust that there's going to be interesting things and that if you just keep going, you're going to find them. So to not foreclose possibility and options and ideas is the biggest reporting challenge for those sorts of books for me.” Show notes: @peggyorenstein peggyorenstein.com 01:00Girls & Sex (Harper • 2016) 01:00 Boys & Sex (Harper • 2020) 01:00 Cinderella Ate My Daughter (Harper • 2012) 01:00 Waiting for Daisy (Bloomsbury • 2007) 01:00 Unraveling (Harper • 2023) 14:00 Salt: A World History (Mark Kurlansky • Penguin Books • 2003) 18:00 "Mourning My Miscarriage" (New York Times Magazine • Apr 2002) 21:00 Schoolgirls: Young Women, Self-Esteem and the Confidence Gap (Anchor • 1995) 25:00 "Champion of the Deep" (New York Times Magazine • Jun 1991) 37:00 Bird by Bird (Anne Lamott • Anchor • 1995) 47:00 Aftersun (A24 • 2022) Learn more about your ad choices.

Bestselling author and speaker Peggy Orenstein joins the show to discuss her new memoir, Unraveling, based on her attempt to create her own garment from start to finish. (Spoiler alert, it wasn't pretty.)

Special Guest: Peggy Orenstein The pervasiveness of hook-up culture, ubiquity of locker room banter, accessibility of internet porn, media steeped with distorted images and wide acceptance of the “man box” or “bro culture” participation is having complex and negative effects on our boys. And as pornography has become a new kind of sex education that most boys are privy to by the tender age of 11 and sexual assault showing itself as a more commonplace occurrence, it is time for a change. As squeamish as it may make us, we've got to get talking to boys are sex. About consent. About empathy, porn, intimacy, media, misogyny, arousal, LGBTQ, connection. This, as you all know by now, is not just one talk but a series of little and bog discussions along the way. It is not just for Moms or just for Dads- this is for all of us. When we unravel the hidden truths and put high beams on the realities of young male sexuality and culture in today's world, we create a provocative paradigm-shift that can help us move forward to raising more-informed boys and better men. Peggy Orenstein is the New York Times bestselling author of Girls and sex, Cinderella Ate My Daughter, Waiting for Daisy, Flux and Schoolgirls. A contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine, she has been published in USA Today, Parenting, Salon, the New Yorker and other publications, and has contributed commentary to NPR's "All Things Considered." Her new book has come out to glowing reviews and is called Boys and Sex, Young Men on Hook Ups, Love, Porn, consent and navigating the new masculinity. She lives in Northern California with her husband and daughter. The post How to Talk to Boys about Sex with Peggy Orenstein Rerelease appeared first on drrobynsilverman.com.

This month in the Mother's Quest Facebook Group, we're focused on the big transitions under way for our children and ourselves during this back to school season. To join the group and the conversation, visit www.mothersquest.com/community. This topic feels especially important for me this year, because in just one week, we pack up our car to drive our son Ryan to LA to start his college freshman experience.  As the day gets closer, we find ourselves savoring the moments, creating extra quality family time, and making space for conversations about all the things that matter. I found myself returning to the messages and inspiration of this conversation with best-selling author of Boys and Sex, Peggy Orenstein and thought you might need it too. Whether you have a boy just entering adolescence or off to college, I hope this episode provides perspective and support to open, and continue having honest conversations, to help your boys navigate the terrain of young male sexuality in today's world.     Much appreciation, — Full Episode Show Notes Check out the full show notes from the original episode here: Ep 71: Talking about Boys and Sex with Peggy Orenstein   Mother's Quest is a podcast for moms who are ready to live a truly E.P.I.C. life.

[REBROADCAST FROM March 28, 2022] The  Pixar film, "Turning Red," sparked debate online over the "appropriate" way to discuss puberty and menstruation with young girls. Peggy Orenstein, gender issues expert and author of the book, Girls And Sex, joins for a conversation about helping kids understand the changes their bodies go through, and how euphemisms like "monthly visitor" and "Aunt Flo" can be damaging to internalize.

As parents we have a tendency to only talk about risk and danger when it comes to sex. Instead, if we change this focus to responsibility and joy, our boys will view sex differently, their partners differently, and make safer, healthier, and wiser choices. In this conversation with Dr Justin Coulson and Peggy Orenstein, they discuss where challenging male sexual behaviour come from and how to give your boys a healthier understanding of both the physical and emotional aspects of sexual intercourse. Timestamps 00:19 Dr Justin introduces Peggy Orenstein 01:42 Where do challenging sexual behaviours come from? 03:50 What is it like for boys growing up? 08:57 Why does ‘masculinity' impact on boys' sexuality? 10:43 The disconnect in boys' behaviour at home and outside - assault and consent 15:21 Expectations put on boys 16:46 Vulnerability and ‘The Hook-Up Culture' 19:23 Tips for parents for a conversation about ‘good sex' 24:06 Pornography 26:46 Talking to your kids about Pornography 33:37 Consent  38:14 How to teach consent?  44:16 Summary of key points so far from Dr Justin 45:50 Gay boys are a model of consent 49:04 Central take-home messages 51:53 Last message of hope from Peggy  Peggy OrensteinPeggy Orenstein is an internationally-recognized speaker and author of, among others, the New York Times best-sellers Boys & Sex, Girls & Sex,  Cinderella Ate My Daughter and the classic SchoolGirls. A contributing writer for  The New York Times Magazine, Peggy has also written for such publications as  The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, New York, The Atlantic and The New Yorker.

Today on the show, I'm talking to the host of the Rethinking Manhood podcast, Destyn Land. Destyn and I discuss men and sex. Sounds simple but when you start to layer in shame, silence, and how by grade 3 you're already comparing penis size–it gets a lot more complicated. I first saw Destyn's work when a friend shared one of his posts on Instagram. It was a beautiful piece about men and how society has created this pressure to prove how “straight” you are. This could be by catcalling women or making homophobic comments. Destyn's posts are always thoughtful, well researched and when I found out he had a podcast, I just had to listen.

Today on the show, we are talking all about dicks. Like why is erectile dysfunction so common? Can you become dependent on Viagra? And can you still have sex after you ejaculate?  To help me answer your questions about dicks, I share my interview with sex therapist and clinical sexual health educator, Paul Nelson. Paul emphasizes that sexual health education should address the entire self and how for many cisgender men, they think it's only about their dicks. We also talk about how common erectile dysfunction is and the work Paul does as part of Maze Men's Health. Resources from the Show!

Amy discusses Peggy Orenstein's Girls and Sex with guest Natasha Helfer.Listen to the full episode here.

Today's conversation started with noticing how often women from Christian background find themselves disconnected from their bodies, desire, turn-on and pleasure. We talk about how this disconnection brings about difficulty identifying consent within oneself and makes it confusing to figure out if you're doing something for someone else more than for yourself. Finally, we offer our best practices for getting in touch with your turn-on. While this episode uses primarily language referring to women, what we talk about can be relevant to people of any gender. Lurie mentions the book Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape by Peggy Orenstein.
