  • Episode 587: The reality of modern family (what's the point?)
    Jan 12 2026

    Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa

    The modern nuclear family is a private-sector surrogacy. The necessity of dual incomes has not only radically altered the sexual marketplace, but it has subverted domestic life into an unsustainable absurdity, as well. Given the addition effort and expense associated with maintaining this arrangement, we are justified in asking: “what's the point?” The reality of modern family is now very different from the dream that existed in previous generations.

  • Episode 586: What do you want to have for dinner? (no straight answers)
    Jan 9 2026

    Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa

    The question “what do you want to have for dinner?” isn't about dinner at all – it's a covert test of value, attention, and emotional investment. In this episode, I discuss how men and women use the same conversations to gather very different kinds of information. This is why so often there are no straight answers from women: some of the information they seek cannot be collected through direct questioning. These intersexual discrepancies are more common than you might think.

  • Episode 585: Women are dirty (understanding their dark desires)
    Jan 5 2026

    Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa

    Contrary to popular belief, women are not made of sugar and spice. Their sexual fantasies are far more devious and socially unacceptable than most people realize. By examining women's prototypical romantic fantasy, we can approach an understanding of their dark desires – an analysis corroborated by many examples hidden in plain sight. Women are dirty: make of it what you will.

  • Episode 584: Become a monster (owning your darkness)
    Jan 2 2026

    Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa

    You are the monster you a running from in your nightmares. How could it be otherwise? Shadow work is the process of owning your darkness and integrating it into your conscious personality. The impulses and desires we disavow tend to become the evils we project into the world. You can either become a monster – or be hunted by the monsters of your own making.

  • Episode 583: Staying at home (no one wants to do it)
    Dec 29 2025

    Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa

    For the last few decades, both men and women have been trying to talk the opposite sex into staying at home with the kids. However, if this were as wonderful as both sides make it out to be, then each would be clamoring to do so themselves. The fact is that no one wants to do it, because staying at home is associated with certain challenges that many adults are ill-prepared to meet. It's time we move beyond the propaganda – on both sides.

  • Episode 582: Women walking away (are men to blame?)
    Dec 26 2025

    Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa

    The results are in: women are more dissatisfied in their relationships than men are. However, before we interpret this as yet another signal that men need to “do better,” we need to ask ourselves: are women more satisfied out of their relationships? In reality, there is a host of evidence to suggest that women exhibit lower satisfaction than men in a variety of contexts – suggesting that their relationships may not be the issue. Are men to blame for women walking away – or is there something else going on?

  • Episode 581: Sex and attention (the most reinforcing good)
    Dec 22 2025

    Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa

    The most reinforcing good you can give to a man is sex, and the most reinforcing good you can give to a woman is attention. This asymmetry is responsible for the power imbalances in many exclusive relationships, in which women typically eliminate their competition, but retain their optionality. Fairness and equality aren't the same thing – and what's good for the goose isn't always what's good for the gander. In this episode, I examine the role that sex and attention play in intersexual relationships.

    Dec 19 2025

    Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa

    In the wake of the death of the lady, we see the rise of modern women. Today's women are attempting to secure the benefits associated with both of their roles in the historical sexual marketplace without any of the liabilities – and this is creating a host of intersexual misunderstandings. The truth is that you can't have it both ways – irrespective of whether you're a man or a woman. However, for a variety of reasons, this isn't going to change anytime soon.
