July 07, 2023 8: Happy Endings
Sometimes, relationships are better off ending. We figure out when it’s time to call it quits, how to break up amicably, and how endings make way for new beginnings.
We also consider how aging plays into a person’s sexuality and how it’s never too late to find pleasure.

June 28, 2023 7: My Wife Will Like You
Pop culture and religion have told us that our soulmate - ‘the one’ - is out there. That our life partner should be our best friend, co-parent, confidant, intellectual sparring partner, sexual muse and all the things in between. But what if it works better when there’s more than two in a relationship?
We speak to people who are engaging in ethical non-monogamy, swinging, and long-distance, label-less love.
