Episode 233: What do you call someone who enjoys foreplay more than "sex"?

Today we talk about #couplegoals or #relationshipgoals... who are your relationship icons? What type of relationships do you want to emulate? The alternate title that Andrew suggested for this episode was "OK, Boomer," because we talk a bit about NOT wanting to create relationships like a lot of our parents and their friends modeled for us.

We know you know that social media is a polished/chosen view of people's lives. But knowing this may not be enough; repeated exposure is linked to so many unhealthy attitudes and behaviors - depression, anxiety, eating disorders, cyberbullying, isolation, loneliness, alcohol and drug use and misuse, suicidal ideation, and risky sexual behaviors. Sure, we also find positives in social media use, but what does all of this mean for sex, intimacy, and relationships? Today, for the last in the series of March Madness focus on the Media, we get up close and personal with our relationship to social media.
