Dr. Justin Lehmiller: 我认为大多数人可能只是把旧的性玩具扔进垃圾桶,而没有考虑过其他处理方式。作为一名性心理学家,我对此类问题也很感兴趣,并认为有必要探讨更环保的处理方法。 Ashley Weller: 我认为听众的环保意识非常棒,他们不仅想扔掉旧玩具,还想确保自己对地球负责。我发现了一些关于性玩具回收的有趣方法,包括在回收中心回收、将它们送到专门的公司进行回收,或者加入一个团体,清洁后出售给其他人。我个人也扔过电池,这很不好。

Shownotes Transcript

We are answering more of your sex questions in this show! We had a couple of fascinating questions that came through our listener voicemail that really stood out to me because I’ve never been asked about them before:

  • Our first question is about what to do with sex toys you don’t want or need anymore. Can you recycle them? The answer is surprisingly complicated!

  • The second question comes from a sex worker who wants to be open and honest with her kids about her work, so she’s looking for advice on how to have that conversation.

To help me in answering these questions, Ashley Weller) is back on the show. She is a Human Sexuality and Health Psychology Professor at Chapman University in Southern California. She also has a podcast called What’s Your Position) that tackles issues surrounding sexuality, relationships, life, and love from a comedic yet educational point of view.
