Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the show. Coming in hot tonight. Fresh off the presses,

quickly and freshly out of the clinical room. So basically, as always, these topics come from

a wealth of places. I track what people are talking about on social media and online. I'm looking

at what research is coming out. I'm looking at what more importantly my patients and my clinical practice are talking about topically. We're looking at what's coming in

my private DMs, the Loveline IG page DMs, which Loveline IG page, those DMs. That's where you

want to put your questions because we answer those throughout the night. But it's so fascinating how

the world is so vast and there's so

many resources that it's really hard to really be a part of creating some massive change. And some

of these topics, I'll be like, yo, I wrote a book on it. I lecture on it. I talk about it here on Lovelin.

I do it my clinical practice. Haven't we like covered this already? And then soon enough, a few days or weeks go

by and someone's like, yo, can you talk about this thing? And I'm like, oh, I've just beaten that

topic into the ground. But let's hit it. So, um, cuffing season. I know when the cooler

weather comes, people are like, I want to partner up. I want to snuggle buddy. I want to get into a relationship holiday time. And I was working with a lot of

patients in my practice because, you know, as a psychotherapist, part of the work we do is

sometimes coaching. And as someone who's one of the few certified sex therapists on the planet,

there's definitely a lot of coaching because we don't understand relationships.

We don't understand sex.

Parents do the best they can with what they were raised and socialized with and what's going

on in the world around them and they instill what the best they got in their kids.

And it keeps rolling forward and my God, social media does not have it down.

And then we watch television and they're giving us horrible messages and songs as well.

So there's a lot to clean up and clarify. And this is one of them.
