The podcast finally returns! In today's episode, Ari talks friends with benefits. She shares the do's and don't's of getting into this kind of entanglement, listener-submitted stories, and her own personal FWB journey. She discusses this week's Sexual Awakening Fictional Characters (Mila Kunis, Kelso, Queen Amidala, Justin Timberlake (?), Joey Tribbiani, Chandler Bing, Rachel Green) as well as the #ShipOfTheWeek, Katniss Everdeen + Peeta Mellark. Lastly, Ari ponders the important questions: is flirting IRL post-pandemic more difficult? Is Everything, Everywhere, All At Once the greatest movie of all time? Can we still lead on our shitty ex or is that unhealthy? Can you have sleepovers with a FWB? Should we expect more than the bare minimum with our FWBs? Aren't they supposed to be our friends? How does someone break the every-guy-I-have-a-thing-with-gets-a-long-term-gf-after-me curse? Are NYE kisses bad luck? Can men and women be friends? And finally, do friends with benefits really work? Listen now to find out!

*CORRECTION: Ari's FWB ended in Summer 2016, not Summer 2017. Oopsies sry my brain no worky.
