A Very Special Bonus Holidaze Episode for our DrinkingWithYourEx listeners! Blake and Bonnie have some words of wisdom to share about navigating the holidaze season. Should you go to your smug married friend's Xmas party? Do you really like tube socks and Victoria Secret's smelly lotion? How about looking for a soulmate on Tinder on Xmas Eve?

#WeirdQuasiSexyGiftsFromStrangers  #SocksMeanLove #ItCouldTotallyHappen #NeverGonnaHappen #ChooseMentalHealthcare

The holidaze season can epically suck (#ThanksMom) or it can be an exploration of the joys of single nerd life  (#LOTR4Evah). It's best to make those choice with really, really, really good single malt scotch. #Dalmore15

Giving up on dating can definitely be a sign of good mental healthcare. Does that mean you've condemned yourself to die alone until your dachshund or sphinx cat gnaws on your rotting face? Maybe #YouKnowWhatYouDid #FeedMrWhiskersOrElse

Does giving up meant that you've just taken a break from the swirling lies, deception, gaslighting and sheer time-wasting of modern dating to do something more important in life, like liking yourself and choosing high self-esteem? #Maybe #HeresHoping #Guurrrrl

In this episode we learn that the last woman to go on a date with Blake has now sworn off dating forever (sorta true, but totally how Bonnie sees it). We also learn about the four different types of folks who "give up" on dating and whether that requires a celebration of good life choices or a one-way trip to the psych nurse. #positivity #hashtaghacks #evillaugh

LOST EPISODE #5 RECOVERED!

Red flags, warning signs, irritating ticks, temporary restraining orders, adorable little foibles and complimentary personality disorders!

Dating is a constant process of getting to know a person while also reading the signs; sometimes we run away from the flashing red lights and sometimes we are the bull running straight toward the red flag. #ole #ThoughtItWasACarnival

In the newly restored, lost, missing Episode #5, Blake and Bonnie discuss their personal red flags and offer some sage, wise, kind and totally non-judgmental advice for spotting red flags for the rest of us. #JudgeyBitches #Takes1toknow1 #ImFineThankYou

You're NEVER too old for sex, but sex does change once you get...older, right? #FlatteringLighting #ArthritisMedication #AssPlayIsOnTheMenu

Lucky Episode 13: Sex After 40 covers combo locks, econo-size bottles of lube, "accidental fetish finds," tossing of salads on the first date, using tongues and toes if hydraulics ain't working just right, why blindfolds are the new Viagra and communication skills that fall way short of actual words. MUST BE REALLY HIGH TO RIDE THIS RIDE and we do recommend updating your will and notarizing your medical Power of Attorney before swiping right. #PullMyPlug #OnlyIfUrIntoThat #MedicalKink4Lyfe #SafetyThird

Blake and Bonnie snicker, snark, giggle and gamely try to offer a Primer To Sex Over 40 for those of you living through the experience, those of you just getting back into the game, and those of you just bringing popcorn and score cards to admire the train wreck. #Blindfolds4Lyfe #FunnyAF #ItHappensToAllOfUs

When you've reached the ripe old age of "Over 40," you've accumulated (and hopefully survived) your fair share of toxic relationships. Should you try to be friends with your toxic ex? Should your new honeybunny be forced to endure your toxic friend who gets belligerent at the bar? How to delicately explain that The HILLS HAVE EYES was more of a family home movie than a Hollywood horror flick? #NotGoingHome4TheHolidays #TrustMeOnThis

Blake and Bonnie explore dating through the sad but true reality of toxic relationships and how to navigate trying to forge something new and something better when some of these relationships (Toxic Exes, Toxic Friends, Toxic Family) are Package Deals.

How has dating, sex and drinking changed through the ages? Pretty sure you had different dating and sex habits and goals when you were a teenager compared to dating in your 40s. #OrMaybeNot #HeresHoping #DontJudge #YoureNotMyMom

Join Blake and Bonnie as they snark and giggle their way down Amnesia Lane as The Ghosts of Sex Lives Past and try to recall what they were drinking, who they were dating, and how they were f*@$!^% in their teens, 20s, 30s and 40s. #OuchMyHip #RememberWhen #NoVideoEvidence

Single? Over 40? Feeling a little salty about that? Does dating over 40 mean that you've got an assigned seat at the back of The Losers' Bus and all who know you should ring a Shame Bell and whisper "bless his heart" when you walk into the room?

Blake and Bonnie talk through what it means to be single and over 40, living the cis het life and where, exactly, we have failed. #BadHousekeeper #AuditingClowns

Having "sexual relations" with other sentient human beings when you are over the age of 40 and still insisting that you, them, he/she/they are "doing it with No-Strings-Attached" is truly just a blatant lie to yourself, your partner, and continues to grow a culture where the grown-ass adults compete to see who can treat the other one more like a disposable sex doll. #FightMe #YouKnowImRight

"No-Strings-Attached" really just means that you are an emotionally insecure and closeted (or openly) sadistic human in desperate need of therapy to address your attachment issues and cold/with-holding mother. #KnowThyself  

Blake and Bonnie hold nothing back when describing exactly what lies relationship statuses like "No Strings Attached" or "Friends With Benefits" are and how they reveal the shortcomings (huh huh) of all of us supposed-adults. 

***Sure, it's possible to have a respectful, caring and loving short-term sexual relationship with another adult that involves clear boundaries about long-term emotional goals and expectations. But be real - that's not what you did with that girl/guy/Tinder-connection that you hooked up with 5 times and then ghosted.*** #ShutYourFace #DefaultToBasicHumanDeceny #GrowThaFUp
