I’m on the ballot for ASA Sexualities Council this year. If you’ve ever appreciated my work on infidelity, BDSM, sexual identity, sexual relationships/behavior, etc., or you just enjoy my energy, I’d be honored to have your vote. #ASASexualities #ASAElection

Same goes for every "genius" academic or scholar.

Just got word that both of my proposals were accepted as presentations at #ASA2026 Who else is going this year?? Let's meet up!

Another Survivor Podcast Nobody Asked For (S50E6). Does an idol stop being an idol if literally everyone knows about it? Meanwhile, Rizo is fully drinking his own Kool-Aid, Jonathan's out here lying like a pro, & who saw this alliance coming? open.spotify.com/episode/70a8...

New article out in Journal of Sex Research: Using surveys & interviews, we show BDSM communities function as spaces for connection, support, identity validation, & growth. It’s almost like ppl build community wherever they’re allowed to be themselves.😲 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

S38E12 rewatch The Challenge. Kitchen fires, Jordan’s scarf era, Devin & Horacio's “I’m a dog!” pep talks. Meanwhile,🍌s & Fessy are pitching each other for elimination like it’s a job interview. & Jordan won't "negotiate w/terrorists" or Tori. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

New ep of Another Survivor Podcast Nobody Asked For. Mike blows up his own move, Ozzy keeps moving badly, Emily is way too messy to trust, & Riz is fully drinking his own Kool-Aid. Why does everyone suddenly have clean clothes & lashes out there?? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Not really Irish (maybe 1 Irish ancestor in the bunch), but I guess today we all are. Happy St Patrick's Day!

S38 rewatch Ep 11 of The Challenge is up. Trivia melts people down (as God intended), alliances go full spy-vs-spy, and somehow Wiley has a psychic moment. And a surprising amount of debate about Nury’s apology. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/5T8K...

Another Survivor Podcast Nobody Asked For S50E3. A tribe swap scrambles everything, Christian & Devin spin a convoluted Boomerang idol story, Emily & Genevieve are messy, & Rizo talks himself into being a target. Jeff raps & the Q skirt makes a return. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/1CIT...

When your podcast cohost brings donuts to celebrate your promotion to Full Professor! (Visiting Professor 2015; Assistant Professor [tenure track] 2016; Associate Professor [tenured] 2022; Full Professor [top promotion status at many unis] starting Fall 2026) Happy Friday!

Is it just me, or are a lot of these folks looking brand new on S4 SLOMW? 🤔

Happy International Women's Day!

On S50 E2 Another Survivor Podcast (Nobody Asked For) Christian is acting as island therapist, Cirie controls the vote & Coach delivers his signature brand of “I'm very deep.” Plus the return of Survivor’s favorite recurring character: the 200-lb snake. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Your girl is officially a Full Professor!!!!!

Y'all, I've been WRESTLING a new book for months now. It's been winning! I've been flailing, fumbling & generally feeling inept. Yesterday: moment of inspiration & after a lot of sweat, effort & teeth gnashing today... I *think* I'm onto something. 🤞I really am

S38 The Challenge rewatch: This mini final cracked the season wide open. Olivia forgave Nelson. We absolutely did not. Also… the Jordan Factor™ is undefeated. S38 rewatch Ep 9 is up. 🎧 open.spotify.com/show/1w8mfBa...

Outstanding season of @thetraitors.bsky.social Terrifically entertaining (and goodness knows we all need a distraction now more than ever)

Another Survivor Podcast (Nobody Asked For) is live. 1 of us has watched since Day 1 & 1 of us just jumped in. We’re overanalyzing blindsides & having opinions no one requested. Grab your torch. 🔥 Same couch energy. Same petty confidence. New island. open.spotify.com/episode/0I45...

Wow. Look at that. 15 years ago today, I got the news that would utterly change the trajectory of my life. So grateful. It's never too late to pursue your wildest dreams. I was 40+ at the time.

We didn’t suddenly forget how to make friends. No partner, no app, no self-help hack can replace real, recurring community. New @PsychToday, building on research from Bound by BDSM, on what we’re missing in the loneliness conversation. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hidd...

"Give love like it's on sale and going out of style." --Robert Conway [paraphrased]

Yeah they’re not the ones literally being imprisoned by the government for expressing views contrary to US government policy

S38 E8 rewatch of The Challenge is up, & we’re recording while a winter storm threatens to take out the grid. If we lose power, just know it was worth it for Bananas’ birthday, “you don’t know ball,” & that ICE COLD cuddle-buddy betrayal. 🎧 spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/oYJ4f3GuV0b

I'll say it again, I have the SWEETEST students. An intro student brought to these to me. Love the color of the roses! But also just such a lovely and thoughtful thing to do. Grief has made things challenging lately, and these make me smile every time I look at them.

Big Swings & Bare Cheeks: this week's rewatch recap of S38 of The Challenge. We break down the messy gameplay & questionable fashion choices. 🎧 & follow: open.spotify.com/episode/2yjf...

Lol. Nicest compliment maybe ever? "Let me know if you ever need a hype man because if you told me you were planning a moon landing with chopsticks and a helium tank, yeah, I would believe it. 😝" 😄😆😂

Unbelievable that today marks 9 years since my beautiful, kind, funny boy left this plane. I don't know how we survive every day without him. Miss him every day, but today is particularly hard. "Grief is all the love that now has nowhere to go."

What a lovely surprise!

This man has a decades-long record of lying for profit and personal gain. Any politician who said he'd keep his word was just doing the same thing themselves.

Sigh. Today was a no good, very bad day. But the bright spot was being delivered cookies by a very sweet girl scout, who spent time talking with me about the items in my office (a lot of sentimental items in there). Really brightened my day.

Is 2 the limit, though? 🤔 Anyone fell in love more than twice? They surveyed 10,000+ people and, on average, participants had experienced passionate love twice in their lifetime, while 14% had never experienced it. ojs.interpersonajournal.com/index.php/oj...

We're rewatching S38 of The Challenge and discussing it. This week's ep is called Eat Your Feelings: frosting > therapy, and yes, I am the feelings eater in question. We break down the episode. I break down emotionally. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/0lKY...

Remember last week how Dr. Oz called AI the best solution for rural healthcare shortages? Well, a new study finds that when patients turn to chatbots for health advice, they end up taking the wrong steps and getting the wrong diagnosis more than half the time. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/w...

Notice how the idiot telling us to "move on" from the Epstein files released six days ago never shuts up about an election that happened SIX YEARS AGO?

Sexuality doesn’t exist outside of culture, which is why I’m thrilled to be joining the Editorial Board of Sexuality & Culture! Also one of my earliest publication homes. Full circle moment. Let’s keep pushing the field forward!

Wild how happy I am to have graded a whole set of not amazing papers. Why? They were all written by humans, not AI. (Begged students to just write badly* bx they don't know how to write literature reviews yet. It worked!) *They weren't actually bad. Saying they would be took the pressure off of.

It's been a rough go of it lately but a sweet intro student told me that I have "Rapunzel hair" and then several came up after class to tell me how much they like the course. So, there's that. How was your Thursday?

10 years ago today, I was offered a permanent job at MO State. (I started working here as a Visiting Professor, which is a temporary job.) So, this is my 11th year here. Longest I've ever lived/worked in the same place, so pretty wild for me. :)

Since I'm never going to get to be a real Mimi, anyone want to adopt me as a spare grandparent? 😥 "A new study finds grandparents who help care for grandkids score higher on memory and language tests and decline more slowly than those who do not." www.huffpost.com/entry/babysi...

We rewatching S38 of The Challenge; just hit the Jay & Michele power episode. History was not kind. Neither were we. 🎧 & follow! "Big Moves, Bigger Mistakes: Jay & Michelle's Power Trip" open.spotify.com/episode/3CEn...

Happy Thursday!

S38 of The Challenge rewatch. Wild how different this season feels on round two. 😏 We’ve got thoughts. 🎧 open.spotify.com/show/1w8mfBa...

Wow. Demi Moore in Landman is 🤌

So, I guessed the snow looked a bit more than 8" We just measured... 8.5 ! Still coming down.

The police abducting the police. Plot twists this season
