Todd Baratz - Love Can (And Should) Be A Little Challenging

Talking points: relationships, sex, social media, non-monogamy


If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know I think the current dating scene is, in a word, messy. So I’m grateful to have sat with Todd Baratz on why that’s the case. I love Todd’s practical, honest yet understanding perspective on the issues, because it allows for all the complexity and nuance relationships can bring. To sum it up: communicate, communicate, communicate.


(00:00:00) - Todd on why modern relationships seem like a mess, new social values, and social media’s effect

(00:13:54) - What causes us to sometimes lose a deep sense of self in relationships, and how our original attachment contributes

(00:18:30) - How all this influences sexual expression, and bridging the gap between different preferences

(00:25:47) - What you need to open a dialogue about what you want sexually, and where couples go wrong

(00:32:41) - “Too good to leave, too bad to stay”, and are relationships starving for lack of community?

(00:37:02) - Do straight and queer couples deal with similar issues? And navigating non-monogamy

(00:44:26) - Dealing with relationship power struggles

(00:47:28) - When your partner asks for something, just do it
