Kris and Lauren discuss a woman who seems to have one really good side and a couple looking for some playmates. 

Lauren’s profile highlights include: Our memories of black bras and white tank top, getting started dating later in life, and an important conversation about consent when including other people in your images and respecting dancers and sex workers. Overall, this profile was solid, but we wished for better photo choices. 

Kris’ profile highlights include: This was a doozy! Bisexual couple with no photos for a pretty awkward reason! Some words of caution when considering playing with or advertising as a couple. Challenges with race and ethnicity disclosure and interracial couple fetishization. We talk about classism, power dynamics, and risks when proposing weekend getaways. Bonus! Safety planning and check-ins (“My cat’s on fire!”), and bonding with bartenders post bad date. Overall, the profile made us uncomfortable for a 1,000 reasons. 

The More You Know: Compersion

Inspired by a profile's reference to "compersion>jealousy," in this episode's The More You Know, we focus on the joys of compersion. Compersion is about the way our hearts expand (and we get a dose of happy chemicals in our bodies) when we learn about the joy of others we are connected to. This can happen in any relationship!
