FEAR OF SEX - It Follows & Gerald's Game (Genophobia) - Episode 18

SUM OF ALL FEAR - Horror, Phobias & the Brain

LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX! We're getting in the deep end of the therapy pool and chatting about why things like trauma, abuse and body dysmorphia can lead to an unhealthy fear of sex. We also talk about why incels (or involuntary celibates) are mostly narcissistic douchebags, the difference between sex-addiction and paraphilia, and why BDSM might be a healthy coping mechanism for some people. Then it's on to the movies! We list off some honorable mentions, then Drew lays down his "Top 5 Sex Scene Deaths." Little hint. Don't invite Victor Crowley to your next three-way. Plus, we breakdown 2014's "It Follows" and its creepy demon curse STD. For our Feature Presentation, we bust out Mike Flanagan's 2017 Stephen King adaptation, Gerald's Game. This movie nails the Fear of Sex, showing the struggles and pain associated with childhood trauma. Great movie that's on Netflix right now! Don't forget to join our FEARDO communities!
