Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Monogamy Toxic — Or Are We Just Bad at Talking About Sex? (With Feeld CEO Ana Kirova)
Q: What tips do you have for those considering going open?
If it's a couple, I guess, want to go into this world, my suggestion is similar, just over communication. There has to be conversations all the time, and they don't have to all be comfortable.
Is Monogamy Toxic — Or Are We Just Bad at Talking About Sex? (With Feeld CEO Ana Kirova)
Q: What are some of the big issues with monogamous relationships you come across?
One of the challenges with monogamous relationships comes from the assumption that a lot of your life depends on how one person is and what they do.
Is Monogamy Toxic — Or Are We Just Bad at Talking About Sex? (With Feeld CEO Ana Kirova)
Q: What is your elevator pitch on open relationships?
I'm an advocate for people exploring what their relationship could look like rather than open relationships themselves.
Sex Therapy With Dr. Lori Beth
Q: What would you like to get out of this?
I know this because of how it's impacting my life. It's not, I've got pretty much most things sorted out in life. This is completely dark.
Data Driven Orgasms - with Anna Lee
Q: Do you think sex toys and really getting into them and really geeking out over your orgasms and how you experience pleasure, has that helped you overcome or make sense of that trauma?
100%. I really do think knowledge is pleasure. I think getting to be able to know your body is so powerful.
