Well Enough Alone - A Guide To Thriving Solo

Cyndi Darnell: Sex and the single life – intimacy, sexuality and non-traditional relationships


Listen Later

This week’s episode is a really juicy one so buckle up!

 

Can we have a fulfilling, safe and healthy sex life when we’re unpartnered? Is sex an essential part of the human experience or are there other ways to find intimacy?

 

Our guest this week is Cyndi Darnell, a certified clinical sexologist, psychotherapist and couple's counsellor based in New York.

 

She works with singles, traditional couples and people in open, polyamorous, kinky and consensual non monogamous relationships.

 

She walks us through what sex can look like if we’re not partnered, how our sexual appetites change through different seasons of our life, and the less conventional, but no less fulfilling, relationship structures available to us.

 

In an extremely candid episode, Jill shares experiences from own sex life, as Cyndi helps navigate a path through a topic that is often shrouded in shame and secrecy.

 

And Cyndi speaks about her rich and full child-free, single life and how she’s rejected social expectations and embraced ‘relationship anarchy’.
