For Episode 33, Sirk and Tara talk about a taboo subject that many are curious about. Sex is definitely the salt and pepper of an intimate relationship but what if it is elevated to another level? Those levels can be difficult to define but swinging and engaging in threesome are options that Sirk and Tara are open to in order to savour the benefits in terms of their relationship. 

Today, we are also joined with Melissa and Karina, our relationship gurus, to assist me in asking questions and sharing views about the topic.
