Hi there, lovers and friends, and welcome to the Lovers and Friends podcast where we talk

about all things intimacy.

Sex, love, relationships, all the shit that you know that I care about so deeply and

so do you.

And that is why you're here.

Thank you, shout out to you.

Who am I?

My name is Shamboodram, and I'm a sexologist who's been working as a public figure educator

for 15 years.

I've talked about sex and relationships everywhere from the view, to playboy, from

YouTube to Netflix, but this right here, this is my very first podcast.

For the first time in my career here and only here, I'm going to be combining my educational

backgrounds in sexology, psychology, and journalism to deep dive into all things intimacy, which

I define as anything under the umbrella of sex, relationships, and attachments.

And today, we're tackling the question, can you have a normal sex and love life if you

have herpes?

I got herpes a little while ago.

Sure.
