| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. Today's episode is about dating. And I've done a recent episode about this |
| 0:06.0 | already, but so many more questions were left unanswered. And so I thought I would get to those |
| 0:11.6 | questions. And a little caveat before getting into this is that dating is a very complicated thing. |
| 0:18.3 | And often in advice columns on the internet or in the newspaper, it's often portrayed as this |
| 0:24.4 | really simple thing as if there's these really simple answers that are generalizable to every human |
| 0:29.0 | being. And that's just ridiculous. So as I talk about this, I'm going to try to speak from that |
| 0:35.6 | place that everyone comes from a different place. Problems can have multi factors that when I talk |
| 0:45.1 | about things, whenever I talk about things, it should be taken with that in mind. And that if you're |
| 0:50.3 | having a particular problem that you need help with, you should find professional in-person help |
| 0:56.0 | that can assess your full situation and apply a treatment plan just for you. But let's get to |

| 1:21.6 | it. I don't care about having sex in general. I'm often uncomfortable talking about sex with |
| 1:25.8 | potential partners because of my disdain for it. All right, just chiming in here. Yeah, I get it. |
| 1:31.6 | We live in a very strange world that doesn't acknowledge that some people just don't like having |
| 1:36.6 | sex or don't want to, especially in dating, especially for young people. And it's a thing. There's |
| 1:42.8 | plenty of people who don't want to have sex for a while or they, and there's various reasons why |
| 1:48.4 | people don't want to have sex. One is just being a sexual or demisexual, meaning that essentially, |
| 1:54.9 | you have a sexual orientation or a biological preference that sex just isn't a big part of your life. |
| 2:02.2 | We can all imagine that there's a spectrum and maybe a bell curve with people in the middle having |
| 2:08.7 | an average sex drive. And you have people at the high end who have very high sex drive and you |
