Thorny Issues

***Please note - this is the second upload of the show. The first was missing some key audio - thank you to everyone who pointed this out!***

Jax opens the show with some tips to increase intimacy and closeness in relationships. Our question this week was around dating someone in a wheelchair. II have invited Em on to help her out with the question. Em is a 26 year old disabled and queer artist, performer, and activist. They are also a part time barista at their local queer owned coffee shop and use a wheelchair as my main mobility aid.

Three questions for you this week. What do you think of Jax's answers. 

First up we look at how to communicate effectively when you aren’t sure where you are at in a new dating sitch. 

Secondly, a listener snooped on his girlfriends phone and was very judge about what he found. He calls in to see if Jax will validate his choices (hint hint - she doesn’t). 

And our final question tonight is from a guy with an above average penis who wants to know how to help his partners have pain free sex.
