In this episode, Jill interviews Dr. Dennis Waskul and Michelle Anklan on their study of women’s perceptions and uses of the vibrator. Dennis and Michelle share their research into the somewhat complicated historical relationship the vibrator has with feminist thought, and the ways in which women in the second decade of the 21st century think of this device.
