  • "Can I flirt with you?" - Reid on ethical sluttiness and dating your species

    In this playful episode, I sit down with Reid Mihalko, a sex and relationship coach. As we flirt and giggle our way through some deeply enriching discussions, we touch on the pressing need for ingrained consent, especially for those in privileged positions. Reid offers a fresh perspective on how society grapples with mistakes, referring to his own past restorative justice process.

    Ever heard of "dating your species"? It's Reid's teaching about recognizing who you truly are in the vast spectrum of relationships and connecting with those who genuinely match you in it. Whether you're an adventurous monogamist dreaming of sailing escapades or a queer individual embracing promiscuity, Reid emphasizes the importance of clarity in choosing partners.

    We dive deep into the world of open relating and the art of ethical sluttiness, exploring how to leave every encounter, be it a person or place, better than you found it. Reid's sex-positive narratives might just catch you off-guard, you are warned!

    Join us for this rollercoaster of an episode – it's flirty, vulnerable, educational, and sure to make you rethink some relationship tenets. If there's one thing I hope for, it's that you'll find as much value in listening as we did in sharing our crush-laden conversation.

    • Honoring Her Pace: Saskia's Path to More Pain-Free Play

      In this deeply personal episode, Saskia speaks into her journey from discomfort and pain to self-connection, to doing it her way and to doing things in her pace.

      The tantric workshops and gatherings initially drew her in, with their potential for liberation and ecstasy. However, Saskia found herself overriding her own body, lost in an intensity that felt far away from true pleasure for her.

      As a very sensitive woman, she started listening more to the subtle whispers of her body and found great treasures. She describes to us how sex has always been painful and how her relationship to her own erotic body has shifted.

      Listen to this heartfelt conversation where vulnerability meets wisdom, and where Saskia's story beckons us to explore our own paths to pleasure, on our terms, at our pace.
