23.

Boy oh boy do we have a special one for you!

This week, Bianca Neal-Shaw, founder of millennial publication Shaw Talk, joins us in getting down and dirty with the hot goss about sex. We discuss fluidity, embarrassing moments, not wanting to be AND needing to be 'railed,' and so gosh darn much more we can't even write it all down.

Thank you so much to lovely people at Love Honey who not only provided us with the stats (we love stats), but a 20% discount code for all of you to use on their freaking amazing products. Just use shawtalk23 at the checkout.

Also very sorry for the very fast-talking and the moments of talking over each other, we were so excited to be talking with Bianca we lost our marbles a little. Same goes with the echo! Soz.

The book Kelsey was talking about is called 'Taking charge of your fertility' - the bible pretty much.

Oh and yes the World Health Organisation has classified sexual pleasure as a human right, hallelujah!

Hey! Hi! Hello!

We're back with a part 2 of last fortnights rapid-fire question session into our oh so exciting dating lives!! We can hear our parents cheering from here! Admittedly, this is neither rapid nor overly question-y but that's what you get when you put two deep thinkers on a podcast together. Kelsey talks 'limerence' and yes, it's an actual word that Kelsey is very excited about sharing, and getting bored with sex? Bella talks non-negotiables and yes, emotional cheating IS fucking cheating. Period.

Receipts:

The Conversation - 'What is 'attachment'.. '

Bustle - 'Are humans meant to be Monogamous?'

Frontiers (research paper) - 'Are we Monogamous ...'

Heeellllooooo Friends! This week we're grilling each other on our respective love lives, dating and relationship stories (or HERstories as Bella so eloquently insist). Bella, as a young independent lady on a solo mission gives us a little insight into her propensity for talk, dark and dickhead, and Kelsey talks commitment at 23.

HOWDY FRIENDS!

On today's episode we talk all things cancel culture, INCLUDING being cancelled by your friends (ouch!). Plus, we take a look at the #challengeaccepted trend and the ramifications of mobilising the masses online. Of course, it wouldn't be a 23 episode without weaving t-swizzle in there so your welcome!

Sometimes in life, you've just got to say fuck it; to imposter syndrome, to confidence-sucking societal standards and quite frankly anything else that makes you compromise your worth or wants. Hear hear!

With coronavirus restrictions limiting the number of people in our homes, how do we pick and choose what friends we have over and why does it hurt so much when we're not in the mix? PLUS what the hell a performative friend is and how we navigate them on social media.

We really hope you've enjoyed our first ever episode of 23!! It's been a wild ride getting this pod together and we're excited to keep the realness rolling. https://www.instagram.com/twentythree_podcast/ (Find us on instagram @twentythree_podcast!)
