Fish sexuality expert and Royal Society PhD student Kathryn Bullough outlines what male and female green swordtail fish find attractive in the opposite sex.

Humanistic psychologist and cognitive scientist Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman outlines people-pleasers and their less mentioned counterpart: the pleader. Clinical psychologist specializing in sex therapy Dr. Marianne Brandon dives into the following questions: Does amazing sex with the right partner stay amazing forever?; Can a morning erection tell you something about low testosterone?; and Is it a problem if adult entertainment turns you on more than your actual partner?
