In this episode, Jess (The Playful Domme), Lisa (The Poly Wife), and Ella (The Virgin) discuss navigating New Relationship Energy (NRE) and its impact on personal boundaries, autonomy, and relationship dynamics. They explore how NRE can lead to moments of self-abandonment, where individuals lose touch with their routines and identities as they dive into a new connection. Each host shares their experiences with balancing personal space, setting boundaries, and understanding what they want from relationships.
