Why were the ovaries once seen as inverted testes? What words might you use if you were trying to describe a condition 'down there' to your doctor? And why did people once believe that you couldn't conceive a baby whilst standing up?
In this episode of Betwixt the Sheets, we're clearing away the smoke, mirrors and occasional cobwebs from the mysterious realms of sexual science. Kate is joined by Emily Nagoski, author of 'Come As You Are' and expert on sexual wellbeing, healthy relationships, and the prevention of sexual violence and harassment.

*This episode contains very strong language and adult content*
A semi autobiographical account from a conflicted man? An ode to a wife’s sexual desire? A criminally obscene novel?
Lady Chatterley’s Lover is one of the most famous texts from the past century, but why?
In this episode, we hear from the director of the new Netflix movie Laure De Clermont-Tonnerre about why this story is important to the 21st century. Then, Kate speaks to Frances Wilson about D.H. Lawrence, his final novel, and the trial that made them the sexual mascots of the 1960s.
Produced by Charlotte Long and Sophie Gee. Mixed by Anisha Deva.

*WARNING There are adult themes and discussions of racism and the Holocaust in this episode*
