#187: Understanding ourselves is already difficult enough, but understanding others (especially the opposite sex) can be even more tough. Emily sits down with a close male friend who specializes in human dynamics, social psychology, and relationships to discuss the deeper topics of sex on the first date, understanding chemistry and compatibility, how to keep your emotions in control, and more.
