From the free press, this is honestly, happy Valentine's Day, and I'm Barry Weiss.

You guys don't know this about me, but one might say that running the free press is my hobby,

because my true passion is being a yenta.

For my five non-Jewish listeners, that's Yiddish for I absolutely love to set people up.

Did I send a picture of my very attractive, very single producer

to a stranger that I met in the elevator last week? No comment. One thing I've learned from

talking to young singles, and this office is full of them, is that there is a total breakdown of

sexual relations between men and women. Some blame social media or the dating apps. Others

blame the alleged feminization of men. But Louise Perry, my guest today, blames the sexual

revolution itself. In 2022, she wrote for the free press, quote, the sexual revolution isn't

only a story of women freed from the burdens of chastity and motherhood.

It's a story about the triumph of the playboy.

This is the crux of her book, the case against the sexual revolution, which has just been adapted for young adults.

It's called A New Guide to Sex in the 21st century.

This Valentine's Day, I thought she would be perfect

to come on to describe what went wrong about dating, sex, porn, and marriage, and about how

this breakdown is impacting women and men differently. We talk about how we can get back on track,

how to date effectively in 2025. Spoiler withholding as part of the advice, I'm sorry, and how a revival of what she calls as an atheist Christian sexual ethics might be the answer.

It is a provocative and fascinating conversation and perfect for this Valentine's Day.

Stay with us.
