How We Manage Our Relationship in Isolation
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
We’ve been isolating at home in Toronto for 19 days now and we thought we’d share how we’re doing as a couple — what’s working and what isn’t. We talk about some of the conflicting feelings we’re experiencing and brainstorm ways to make sure we’re still feeling connected over the longer term (since this could last a while). We talk about how we respond to unsettling emotions like anxiety and share some ideas for daters who can’t connect in person. Thanks for listening.

How did you find yourself working in sexuality?
I sort of manifested it. When I was little, I used to be obsessed with "Talk Sex with Sue Johanson". I would stay up late and watch this lady with vagina pillows and penis puppets talk about all sorts of things that I found fascinating. I instantly knew I wanted to do that when I grew up. When it came time to start college I realized that there was no clear route to becoming a sexpert so I chose to major in psychology. During my intro to psych class, the professor had everyone in the auditorium introduce themselves and what they wanted to do career-wise. I mentioned I wanted to be a sex...

Sofia Gray was started by a group of young entrepreneurs, who had a real interest in the adult industry. They saw that a safe and secure, well designed, quality marketplace did not exist for used underwear. Hence, Sofia Gray was born.

A Rant About Micro-Cheating
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
This is a six minute quickie! And it’s a bit of a rant about micro-cheating. From deep-liking to chatting with an ex, what behaviours are considered cheating? And how do you deal with a partner whose behaviour is making you uncomfortable? Have a quickie listen today!
Behaviours that have been classified as micro-cheating include: using emoticons, liking too many photos on an account, “deep liking” online (liking old photos), posting sexy selfies, having friends of the gender(s) to which you’re attracted, and having private DM conversations.
I think this is absurd. What specifically constitutes cheating is subjective, but the micro-cheating expectations set some very narrow guidelines that simply are not realistic. In fact, some of these expectations are rooted in control, possession and monitoring that sets off some red flags with the potential to undermine respect,...
