Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the show. We got a great show plan for you. DMs. They'll be

popping later in the show. So if you got a DM for us, that means you got a question, something you want to answer, something's on your mind, something you want us to talk about, maybe even something you want us to circle back and drop deeper into.

Put all those beautiful, lovely questions, ideas, and

opinions in our DMs on our Loveline at G page.

That's where all that magic goes.

We're going to be talking about hookup culture.

It's going to be opening up with some stats and then talking about how to survive hookup

culture.

That's right.

Mental health intact.

Why?

Because there's nothing wrong

with casual sex. It is part of the normative dating process. Sex isn't bad. What's bad is the way

people maybe treat each other or they have false and problematic expectations. But sex is a beautiful,

healthy thing for us. So we're going to be opening the first hour, just talking about a few stats

or whatnot. And then later in the show, we'll be talking about some other ways to kind of survive and conceptualize it.

And what I mean survive, I just mean really get through that process with your mental health and emotional health intact.

I talk about this on the show often, which is technological advancements and developments.

They happen. Some of them have happened through the world of dating and sexuality.

And sometimes it's been the inverse where it's happened in the non-sexual, non-relational

world. But of course, sex and relationships find a way to be also further innovated as a result of technological advancements.

And I think that's an awesome thing.
