<p>In this episode, I team up with fellow sex writer Magdalene Taylor to unpack the defining sexual and pop culture moments of 2024 and predict what we think is coming in 2025. We discuss sex in the movies, polyamory's PR crisis, the politicization of big boobs, bathhouse feminism, Brat summer, the Sapphic pop renaissance, Sabrina Carpenter's sexuality, the rise and fall of the Girl's Girl, and so much more.</p><p>People, places, and things we mentioned: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/bradtroemel/p/CtJ20lOLL1b/?img_index=1">The Veggietalesification of Culture</a>, as predicted by Brad Troemel; <a target="_blank" href="https://jadehurley.substack.com/p/your-fave-is-selling-a-pedophilic">your fave is selling a pedophilic fantasy</a>, by Jade Fax; <a target="_blank" href="https://jessicadefino.substack.com/p/2024-self-care-boom-trump">Post-Election, Beware 'Self-Care,’</a> by Jessica DeFino; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bustle.com/life/girls-girl-phrase-feminism-politics-fake">The “Girl’s Girls” Have Lost The Plot</a> by Magdalene Taylor; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/08/style/miranda-july-all-fours-group-texts.html"><em>All Fours</em></a> by <a target="_blank" href="https://mirandajuly.substack.com/">Miranda July</a>; “bathhouse feminism,” as discussed by <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/sighswoon">Sighswoon</a>, Pornhub’s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.pornhub.com/insights/2024-year-in-review">2024 data</a>, etc.</p><p>Get more of Magdalene’s insights by subscribing to her newsletter <a target="_blank" href="https://magdalene.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&#38;utm_medium=web&#38;utm_campaign=substack_profile">Many Such Cases</a>.
