In this episode of The Psychological Paradigm Shift, Ed Rieger tackles one of the most sensitive but essential topics for long-term relationships: sexual history and preferences. With honesty and vulnerability, he explains how past sexual experiences — including trauma, early encounters, or unresolved desires — can deeply shape intimacy, communication, and compatibility.

Ed shares his own experiences while outlining the critical questions you should ask a romantic partner about their sexual history, boundaries, and desires. From monogamy and sexual orientation to pornography, STDs, and sexual addictions, he emphasizes why transparency in this area is vital to avoid devastating misunderstandings and divorces later.
