Our guest is Peggy Orenstein, an award-winning journalist and internationally recognized speaker on gender issues, especially those related to teens, sex and relationships. She is the author of seven books, including Cinderella Ate My Daughter, Girls & Sex, and her latest, Boys & Sex.

Tune in on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Oh wow that sounds like a well-timed conversation considering I now have 2 teen boys. Also wanted to add that I’ve been really loving the podcast lately. Thanks so much
Loved this podcast. I wasn’t familiar w/Peggy Orenstein before but like so many of your other guests, you’ve opened my eyes and ears to voices I need to hear, especially as the mom of a 14yo daughter. Thank you, another excellent episode.
Ooh can’t wait for this one, Peggy Orenstein is a treasure!
I’ve got an 8-yr old granddaughter, so I’ll be listening!
This was a podcast I wasn’t certain was going to be pertinent to me since my kids are both well into their dotage. Happily, I was wrong. Such a lovely person, such a great conversation and I am looking forward to the book she truly must write on women and how they experience sex/romantic relationships as they age. What a perfect topic for all of us!
Yeah, I don’t even have kids but I’ve heard Orenstein interviews in the past and she’s super interesting, so I’m looking forward to this one.
