With the rise of online dating, words and terms to describe ourselves and our desires are more prevalent than ever. The tricky thing about words is that many (especially in the world of sex and dating!) donât actually have a singular meaning understood and accepted by all people. So what the heck can we do?
Questions we ask in this episode:
Do we use any slang or language in our own dating profiles?Do we use labels? How do labels help us? How do they limit us?Why does slang and new language emerge around sex and community? Is it just like horoscopes, or what?How do we have conversations asking what terms actually mean for different people?When is it about understanding ourselves, and when is it about explaining ourselves?What should people âknowâ or learn? When do we âneedâ to know specifics?Words and terms we explore:
TopBottomSubmissive/SubDominant / Dom / DommeVers / SwitchPolyamorous vs. non-monogamy etcOpen Relationship vs. Ethical Non-MonogamyLabels like: stud, stem, femme, butch, otter, bear, twink (presentation slang)SW lingo: PSE, GFE, BBJConnect with us!

Article Recommendation: Sexual Currency
Article by Swell - from Dame Wellness Dot ComeWhat is Sexual Currency? The article describe it as:â Anytime we hug, kiss, rub, squeeze, and nuzzle into a romantic partner, there is an erotic charge. This comes from the sexual relationship that exists between couples.. Sexual currency is a little different from physical affection. It is sexually charged touch that has erotic meaning.âLoved this article itâs a great reminder that keeping a saucy fire going in our relationships is work, FUN WORK, that we can make lots of little investments intoCould be particularly helpful to anyone experiencing low libido in their relationshipInstagram Post Recommendation:
Topic: Relationships with different neurotypes
Stevie Writes shares neat things on kink, non-monogamy, Autism, sexuality and gender on their InstagramReally wow concept to see specified and to really sit and consider how this affects our perceptions coming together in communications and our experience of our realityThe idea that our realities are all different - our perception is not reality - it is a version of it Especially loved this:â'Getting comfortable with the ideas that difference can be met with curiosity and not condemnation is powerful work'Instagram Recommendation:
@thefatsextherapist
Amazing trauma-informed sex therapistSpoke on an Instagram Live about having a maz (masturbate) on top of your bedcovers while naked, rather than covering yourself up, staying clothed etc. By seeing ourselves in a slightly more embodied way, we can create micro-moments of body acceptance and appreciation. We challenge our dear listeners to give this a try!Resource Recommendation:
YearCompass
A great reflection tool to help me let go of a hard year, and set me up for the new oneWe are both filling this out this year (Lauren has done hers already ofc)Connect with us!

Happy Season Two, sweet beans! By popular request, weâre launching the season with more chats about bisexuality and non-monogamy. Hooray!
The topics we cover in this episode:
Chatting through common fears for bisexual/pansexuals such as:The possibility of âuncontrollable desireâ in a straight-passing relationshipLack of experience anxietyInternalised biphobiaThe tricky dance of one partner wanting to be polyamorous, and the other partner feeling uncertain about opening up the relationship.Creators mentioned in this episode:
Book Recommendation: Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good
Written by by Adrienne Maree BrownA book exploring the power of pleasure in our lives, as a tool for self love and healing, social justice and so much more.A few choice quotes:
âYour no makes the way for your yes. Boundaries create the container within which your yes is authentic. Being able to say no makes yes a choice.â
âUltimately, love for the self is the deepest pleasure we deny ourselves. I work daily to be courageous enough to indulge in the purest pleasure of self-love.â
âWe have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings. But, once recognized, those which do not enhance our future lose their power and can be altered. The fear of our desires keeps them suspect and indiscriminately powerful, for to suppress any truth is to give it strength beyond endurance. The fear that we cannot grow beyond whatever distortions we may find within ourselves keeps us docile and loyal and obedient, externally defined, and leads us to accept many facets of our oppression as women.â
Book Recommendation: Opening Up - A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships
Written by Tristan TaorminoExplores the real-life benefits and challenges of many styles of open relationships. Includes tips on dealing with jealousy, negotiating boundaries, communication etc.Book Recommendation: The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities
Written by Dossie Easton and Janet HardyDespite the first edition hitting the world in 1997, this book remains a go-to for those wanting to learn more about the world of open relationships with ourselves and othersLots of love,Lauren and Vix
