257. The Big Little Penis Panic

Nancy and Sarah discuss a NY Magazine story about how the old male anxiety got a TikTok-era update. Also: Could we be wrong about AI and loneliness? Also, falling into the Stanley Kubrick K-hole

Nancy and Sarah discuss a New York magazine story called “The Big Little Penis Panic,” about how social media, a modern detachment from the body, and the derangements of porn have fueled anxiety for Gen Z men, who are more body-conscious than earlier generations of dudes. (Remember the olden days when only women had neuroses about their body?) Nancy thinks looksmaxxxing is “unmasculine.” Sarah thinks we’re moving from sex as a tactile/physical act toward one that is visual, aka mediated through screens. As old hang-ups lift and new ones get introduced (“catching print”??), we are reminded that every generation gets to reinvent misery.
