What It’s Actually Like to Give Up Sex for a Year (with Melissa Febos)

from Boysober · host iHeartPodcasts

If there was a class on how to go Boysober, Melissa Febos’ book The Dry Season would be at the top of the syllabus. Melissa’s new memoir recounts a time when she did what Hope could not — give up dating, romance, and sex for an entire year. Hope talks to Melissa to better understand how she achieved this and how it rewired her brain to not be guided by the patterns of old relationships.   Do you have a boysober story to share?
