Should You Play Hard to Get?
There are many assumptions made in the realm of sex and relationships - I'm talking the idea of "common sense" or advice that just "feels true" when you hear it. We're all susceptible to familiar things seeming "right." One such truism is the idea that playing hard to get will help you in dating...

Dignified Hedonism AMA
There's a world of difference between theory and practice. Recently, I shared the Dignified Hedonist framework for the first time, and people had questions. It's one thing to do an assessment. It's another thing to integrate this practice into your life. Listen to hear questions asked by others...

What is Dignified Hedonism?
On this International Men's Day, it's shocking how much men's dating, sex, and relationship advice is stuck in the stone age, regurgitating the same tactics that keep men stuck. The worst thing about this type of advice, the kind structured by rigid interpretations of gender roles and peppered…

The Secret to Awesome Sex and Relationships
Before going any further, yes, Kant was problematic in some respects. And, yes, he was very much an eccentric. He himself isn’t the secret or any sort of model for how to be an amazing lover. Instead, what Kant gives us in his moral philosophy is the essence of dignity in a really easy to...

Open Relationships 101

The Power of Sexual Autonomy
Figuring out who you are as a sexual person is process - your sexuality is dynamic, and everyone seems to have an opinion about what you should do and what your sexuality should be like. You receive messages from family, friends, and your society at large. Men should do this. Women should do…

How to Understand Body Language
Body language is as rich and nuanced as any spoken language. You are always talking with your body, even when you're not conscious of it. Everyone else? They're always talking with their bodies, too. Learning the basics of body language will serve you throughout your life, and in the arena of sex...

Touch Communication Basics
We have all sorts of weird messaging in society around touch, in part because touch is often framed as inherently sexual. In reality, touch is as inherently sexual as English - you can say some extremely erotic things with touch, sure, but you can also make small talk and have heartfelt...

Is Emotional Vulnerability Unattractive?
Emotional vulnerability is a polarizing topic. And that's because, like all polarizing topics, it sits on top of a tension. On the one hand, all humans have emotions. We want to be fully ourselves, and that includes our emotions. On the other hand, we’ve all been told what we *should* do when it...

Make Sex Exciting Again
It's true - without conscious attention paid to stoking desire, desire will wane in longer relationships. So many people move through life feeling a frustrated nostalgia for the early days of effortless passion with their partner. Others wonder if something is wrong with them because they…

Ask Anyone for Anything
The sad reality is that no one can read your mind. Everyone has different types of fear around asking for what they want. Your fears didn’t come from nowhere - they have biological, social, and cultural origins. What's more, these fears are part of larger structures that RELY on you remaining...

I Want You to Want Me
There's no denying it: seeing someone who is hungry for you, who desires you as a sexual being, carries a unique and potent erotic charge. It's totally human to want to feel wanted. The big issue is the way most of us go about trying to feel desired is temporary at best, and actively damaging at...

Rejection is Awesome
I feel like shouting from the mountain tops: rejection is awesome! And, it's not rejection itself that sucks, but our fear of rejection. I mention two studies: first, that the pain social rejection causes is real (Kross, E. et. al., 2011) and that we feed our fear of rejection by making rejection...
