Summary
In this episode, I'm talking to Todd Baratz, a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in sex and relationships, and am taking a ton of listener questions around the subjects. From sex on the first date to faking orgasms to gender roles, we hear his thoughts on all the sex & relationship rules. We also talk about the inner makings of relationships; communication around sex, avoidance, attachment, monogamy, expectations, and the biggest mistakes we can make.
