Ever wondered what your ex REALLY thought about sex, love, cheating, dating and you? Join Blake and Bonnie - two exes who've made that oh-so-delicate transition to friends - as they explore topics around dating, with their own failed relationship as a backdrop. Both hosts are single, over-40, and wildly opinionated about why each one is still on the dating market. ***This podcast is for mature audiences and includes language and subject matter not suitable for young listeners.***

"No Strings Attached" and Other Non-Consensual Dating Lies

Having "sexual relations" with other sentient human beings when you are over the age of 40 and still insisting that you, them, he/she/they are "doing it with No-Strings-Attached" is truly just a blatant lie to yourself, your partner, and continues to grow a culture where the grown-ass adults compete to see who can treat the other one more like a disposable sex doll. #FightMe #YouKnowImRight

"No-Strings-Attached" really just means that you are an emotionally insecure and closeted (or openly) sadistic human in desperate need of therapy to address your attachment issues and cold/with-holding mother. #KnowThyself

Blake and Bonnie hold nothing back when describing exactly what lies relationship statuses like "No Strings Attached" or "Friends With Benefits" are and how they reveal the shortcomings (huh huh) of all of us supposed-adults.

***Sure, it's possible to have a respectful, caring and loving short-term sexual relationship with another adult that involves clear boundaries about long-term emotional goals and expectations. But be real - that's not what you did with that girl/guy/Tinder-connection that you hooked up with 5 times and then ghosted.*** #ShutYourFace #DefaultToBasicHumanDeceny #GrowThaFUp
