It is a specific sexual phenomenon named after an urban legend about U.S. President Calvin Coolidge. Sound odd? It is! And the researcher who named it that did it as a hoax. This episode will take us on an oddly detailed journey through rat sex research, examine our human biases about sex, and look at whether or not men need more sexual variety than women.
