EP 9: Lisa Diamond on sexual fluidity and attachment

Listen Later
“Our society does not respect attachment relationships that are neither family nor sexual and I think that’s a fundamental weakness and something that runs counter to what we know about ourselves as a species.”

Lisa Diamond is one of the top researchers in the world on sexual fluidity, the capacity for a person’s sexual orientation to change over time. Talking with her was an acid trip. Every other thing she said blew my mind and opened up whole worlds of questions. What surprised me the most was how quickly the conversation turned towards …wait for it… attachment. 

 In this episode we delve into a bunch of topics such as :

  • Sexual fluidity
  • The links between attachment and sexuality 
  • The importance of nonsexual attachment relationships
  • Her ultimate quest to unite the fields of relationship and sexuality
  • The numbers on how many people experience fluidity in their sexuality (it’s MUCH higher than you’d think)
    • Listen here!

    ENJOY!
