“Sex in the Pews” host Glenn Klein welcomes Dr. Susan Block back to a second interview “in the pews,” with congratulations on her first interview having “gone viral,” scoring the most hits of all “Sex in the Pews” podcasts in 2019. No wonder she won the “Sexologist of the Year” Glenny award! The “Sex in the Pews” podcast is dedicated to promoting a healthy attitude towards sex, as well as dismantling religion and the harm it can cause. The subject of Dr. Suzy first top-scoring interview (episode #58) is her longtime philosophy of “Ethical Hedonism.” In this second interview (episode #270), Glenn asks Dr. Suzy what to do “When Life Gets in the Way of Sex,” and Dr. Suzy replies that “Sex is the essence of life (thus the podcast title), the trick we play on death; sex is what brings us into the world, and sex is what motivates us to stick around for a while.” She also addresses how work, family, school, social media, politics, religion, resentment, jealousy, boredom, health issues, weight gain, the aging process, the environment, schedules—and now the Coronapocalypse—all can get “in the way” of sex. They talk about the importance of planning sex dates; “The best-laid plans may not get you laid the way you planned,” says Dr. Suzy, “but plan anyway,” and no, it doesn’t “ruin the spontaneity”). She also suggests entering the “erotic theater of the mind,” as well as making sex a top priority, or at least in the top five. Listen to the podcast to find out the other four, as well as hear more about bonobos (they certainly prioritize sex!), The Bonobo Way, “medibation” (masturbation plus meditation), our biggest sex organs and true tales of sexual experiences “in the pews” of Church and Temple. Glenn also credits Dr. Suzy with enlightening him on their first interview about how male circumcision is a form of genital mutilation (like female circumcision which is usually considerably worse) and, when performed on an infant, a form of child sexual abuse. Indeed, their lively conversation touches upon many subjects in the intersecting realms of sexuality, spirituality, religion, eroticism, health, abortion, sports, laughter, politics and culture.
