What happens when two friends from summer camp spend decades talking about sex? They make a podcast. Welcome to This Is Probably a Really Weird Question, where Dr. Ronni Hayon, a family physician and expert in LGBTQ+ healthcare, and Dr. Rebecca Davis, a historian of sexuality, answer the not-at-all-weird questions you ask us in our offices, classrooms, and, most uncomfortably, at parties.
