Hi Ditchers! We cover the latest episode of The Bachelor, Fantasy Suite Week edition! Otherwise known as "Sex Week" *eye roll*. Learn why we hate this title for the 2nd to last episode of the season and all other breakdown information on Zach's dates with Ariel, Gabi, and Kaity. We talk about eating bugs in Thailand, does talking about plans (or no plans for sex) kill the romance too early on a date, how to navigate anxiety while out with your boo, and how much to disclose to your partner about your (recent) sex life! We go over it all, including our thoughts on how Zach could have supported Gabi much better while she was expressing her concerns (before and after the infamous overnight), and our debate on if Zach really should have told Kaity about his sexcapades with one of the other ladies. In this, we talk about feeling guilt and shame after doing something that you know isn't so great and definitely might have a negative impact on your partner. Is coming clean really the best or most responsible choice? What does it mean to sit in that guilt and shame to allow this experience settle before deciding what doing better in the future looks like.
But first!.. we talk about pre-date rituals. What they can look like, how they help, and what it looks like if you don't plan for them. Let us know about your pre-date rituals in the comments!
