Save 10% on your next Fleshlight with promo code PRIVATE10 at fleshlight.com.
For the 258th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes licensed educator, content creator, and author Laura Danger.
Laura’s new book, No More Mediocre, takes a hard look at the unequal labor dynamics that quietly erode so many relationships—and what it actually takes to build something more equitable, sustainable, and sexy.
In this conversation, Laura breaks down the nag paradox, weaponized incompetence, and the invisible emotional labor that disproportionately falls on women in heterosexual partnerships. She shares how she and her partner had to “burn it down” and rebuild their relationship from the ground up after years of simmering resentment, and why explicit communication and shared responsibility are essential to lasting intimacy. We also get into the connection between unequal labor and dead bedrooms, the motherhood penalty versus the fatherhood bonus, and some practical first steps for anyone who feels stuck in an exhausting relationship dynamic.

Save 10% on your next Fleshlight with promo code PRIVATE10 at fleshlight.com.
For the 257th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes author and New Yorker cartoonist Sophie Lucido Johnson.
Sophie is the author of Kin: The Future of Family, a thought-provoking book that explores how we can build meaningful, supportive relationships beyond the traditional nuclear family. In this conversation, we get into the roots of the loneliness epidemic and how modern life has pulled us away from community, what we can learn from polyamorous and nontraditional family structures, and why friendship and chosen family might be just as vital as romantic love. We also talk about raising kids in expansive networks, navigating conflict and accountability with people who aren't relatives, and what it really looks like to show up for each other—emotionally, logistically, and even financially.

Save 10% on your next Fleshlight with promo code PRIVATE10 at fleshlight.com.
For the 255th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Rosa Campbell, historian and author of The Book That Taught the World to Orgasm and Then Disappeared: Shere Hite and the Hite Report.
In this episode, Rosa unpacks the groundbreaking (and controversial) legacy of Shere Hite and her bestselling work, The Hite Report—a feminist text that revolutionized how we talk about women’s pleasure, desire, and dissatisfaction. We get into Hite’s unlikely path—from being raised by a single mom in a conservative environment to modeling and working in the sex industry—and how those experiences uniquely positioned her to challenge dominant narratives about sex. We also explore the global impact of The Hite Report, the cultural backlash that ultimately erased Hite from mainstream feminist history, and why her work is still relevant today despite all the progress.

Save 10% on your next Fleshlight with promo code 10PRIVATE at fleshlight.com.
For the 254th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes writer, journalist, and professor Mallary Tenore Tarpley.
Mallary is the author of Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery, and her work reframes recovery not as a clean, finished destination, but as a messy, ongoing “middle place” where progress and setbacks coexist. In this episode, we talk about how grief, control, and perfectionism shaped her eating disorder after losing her mother at a young age, what treatment actually looks like behind the scenes, the concept of normative discontent (the cultural reality that most of us struggle with our bodies), how slips can become opportunities for growth instead of shame spirals, and how she talks to her kids about food, bodies, and emotions in a way that breaks generational cycles. Plus, we dive into the complexities of pregnancy and postpartum recovery with an eating disorder history.
