The expression "fake it 'til you make it" or "fake it 'til you become it" works for many walks of life — but not in the bedroom and not in relationships. We can't expect ourselves to be able to connect deeply with someone when we're not being our true selves — and more importantly, if we don't feel as though we can be our true selves with someone, then why should we want to be with them? 

In the first episode of our two-part interview with Vanessa Marin,  she shares her personal story about learning why faking orgasms needs to end — and teaches us how being authentic creates more fulfilling and pleasurable experiences in the bedroom.

The Benefits and Detriments of Casual Sex.

What Does "Casual Sex" Actually Mean?

Do you have positive, negative, or neutral associations with casual sex? What role does it play in “hookup culture” and how can we positively influence the expectations — and the outcomes of it?

In the second episode of our two-part interview with Dr. Zhana Vrangalova, we debate both sides of hookup culture — both the good and the toxic ways in which it manifests itself — and how we can work to make casual sex more pleasurable and intimate for those who wish to engage in it.

Dr. Zhana Vrangalova is a researcher, sex educator, and adjunct professor at NYU.

What does “casual sex” mean to you? Does it have only one definition or are there different kinds? How does your brain — and your heart — react to it?   In the first episode of our two-part interview with Dr. Zhana Vrangalova, we discuss “casual sex” — the very wide spectrum of how we define it, cultural differences in how we view it, and how self-esteem and dopamine play important roles.

Did you get "the talk" from your parents when you were young? When and how did you "explore" your own body? Did you use the correct names for intimate body parts? How did your childhood exposure and experiences shape your adulthood beliefs and actions? 

In episode one of our two-part conversation with Logan, we focus on sexuality through the scope of cultural influences, young children, and how to navigate the complicated landscape when parenting during those early developmental stages.
