Professor Golden is a Professor of Psychology, specializing in Human Sexuality. She has taught, conducted research, appeared on TV and radio, and wrote her own textbook on Human Sexuality. She's been answering people's questions, whether they were students or not, for a long time. She's a bit like a cross between Dr. Ruth and Sue Johanson with a touch of comedy.
Prof. G currently lives in California with her 3 dogs (and usually 1 she is fostering). She is still teaching and writing books. This is her first attempt at podcasts.

Professor G talks about trans people in this podcast. She shares some of her experiences studying gender- or sex- reassignment surgery, now called gender affirming surgery. Prof G explains different terms, different paths of transition, as well as old stigmatizing terms no longer in use.

Professor G wanted to share what she felt was a funny story about an email threat she received. The first time was many years ago but it just came around again.

This week Professor G jumps into terms used to identify different sexual orientations. She talks about the difference between ones sex and ones gender. (Btw, animals don't have gender. ) She also covers many of the gender identity terms as well.

In this podcast, Prof G discusses hormones and how they affect our behavior as well as physiology. There are 4 classes of over 50 hormones in the human body. Prof G focuses on three; estrogen, testosterone, and oxytocin.

This week Prof G discusses poly- relationships from polygamy to polyamory - the differences and some statistics for the U.S. and around the world.

Professor G explains two discussions she used to have with her students in class. One, what is sex? We explored how different people felt different acts defined sex. Two, reasons to have sex. This was a fascinating activity where, without fail, things like revenge, or for money, came long before anyone mentioned love.

I have compiled and commented on the students' first homework assignment. This is just a brief introduction to my book, the first in the series is available now on Barnes & Nobles.

In this podcast, Prof G talks about her continued fight against the spread of misinformation. This time, in the words we use to talk about our bodies, specifically our genitals. We should be using vulva most of the time when we say vagina. Women over the age of 18 are not GIRLS, they are women. Words matter!

In this episode Professor G talks about the "sex talk." Both the one you may or may not have had with your parents, and then the one you should be having with any potential sex partner.

This podcast is about Orgasms. It includes a few personal stories, current vs. past statistics, and a brief discussion on different types of orgasms. I'll do another one later that focuses on things that might be preventing you from having orgasms.
