Summer Listening From 'The Checkup': Sexual Reality Check, Revisited

We can't be reminded too often that the fantasies portrayed in bodice-buster novels and porn flicks bear only a vague resemblance to what happens (and how we look) in real life.

So here, as part of our summer-listening revival of the best of our WBUR/Slate podcast, The Checkup, is a favorite, particularly juicy episode, titled "Sexual Reality Check." It includes surprises about penis size, stories of great sex over 70 and new insights on how both men and women are lied to about their sexuality.
