Let's Talk About Sex

Benny and Ify sat down with Tanya Koens, a somatic sexologist and pleasure activist from Pleasure Love Rating. We’re excited to welcome her back to our returning segment Let's Talk About Sex. Tanya gave us lots of advice about what a good date looks like. 

So how do you plan a good date? Don’t do the movies, you can’t talk there! First dates should be chatty situations, maybe a coffee but definitely not a three course dinner. Have it short and sweet and something planned afterwards. Have it in a place that will facilitate good chat. Tanya’s final advice on how to plan a date is: Make it easy and simple and time-limited. Be curious, what can you learn about this person?  

Ify and Benny found out this and more great advice from Tanya this morning.
