Summary

Sexting, Sex Appeal, and The hook up culture. In a culture where women are praised for flaunting their bodies — as women (and men!), how do we balance caring about our appearance, but not catering to a culture that focuses SO much on physical looks and sex appeal? Today’s question comes from Maggie from Pennsylvania…and it sparks an entire conversation about sex appeal, sexting, the hook up culture, and so much more. How to handle sexting? What do you do when he/she starts sexting or asking for/sending sexy pictures? What do you say when the conversation starts to get more heated than you’re comfortable with? What happens when your physical boundaries start getting crossed in a relationship? Today we’re covering sexting, sex appeal, and ALL things hook up culture and I’m thrilled to be tag-teaming this question with Kristen Clark from Girl Defined! Don’t miss this new episode!
