People change. Relationships change. How can you navigate through those changes in a way that honors everyone involved? How can you and your partner(s) create an environment that supports evolution and growth? From monogamous to open, a couple to a triad, a partner to solo poly, to conscious uncoupling - what can you learn from other people’s experiences around transition?

Do we stay in relationships longer in our older age because we think we won't find a new partner later on in life? What would online dating look like if age wasn't a part of the profile? When we "eeeew" older people having sex, do we realize we are "eeewing" our future selves?

Effy and Jacqueline are joined by author, speaker, and ageism activist Ashton Applewhite to discuss the intersection of age, ageism, relationships, and sex. Effy and Jackie have also come to realize that they'll never be too old to giggle at the fact that this is the 69th episode.

Do you need a break from the heaviness of our last few episodes? Do you want to skip your next zoom meeting and talk about butt plugs and pickup lines instead? Do you need a new outlet to get some joy because the status quo isn’t cutting it?

Effy and Jacqueline stick to their word and in this light hearted episode explore butt plugs and talk about pick up lines on online dating platforms. They round off the episode by redefining joy.
