Why is talking about sex and relationships so taboo? We as humans regularly touch, play, feel, and have emotions - or is that just us? We've found that a lot of people aren't open to talking about these things, but we think it's important to. In each episode, we'll be joined by a new guest to explore sexy and sometimes unsexy topics. Guests may be experts, but the majority will be like us, figuring it out as we go along. We hope that each episode gives you that post-coital glow, and if it does, please, tell your friends!

Are You Idealistic or Individualistic in Your Relationships?
We've been inundated from a young age that "the one" exists. That there's this magical person who is perfect for you and who you will grow old with. You know, the one that you'll have the house with the white picket fence with. This is idealism and it may look different depending on the culture you grew up with, but we all will have some version of it.
On the flip side of this coin is individualism. Questioning what a relationship should really look like. Following the path of resistance rather than the one that was carved out for you. Checking in and acknowledging that you are in fact a separate person with thoughts and emotions.
In this episode we'll dive into:
What idealism and individualism is as they pertain to relationships
How to find the balance between the two
Pressures both internally and externally that can sway you in either direction
Checking in with yourself to get what you need
Navigating these concepts with your partner
