Send us a textYou thought dating women would be easier? Think again.This Pride Month, I’m pulling back the sheets on what it really looks like when women date women. Spoiler alert: it’s not just soft touches, flannel, and U-Hauls. There’s bi-phobia, late-in-life confusion, misread signals, and emotional landmines no one warned us about. But there’s also unmatched heat, intimacy, and magic—when you know what you’re doing.In this collab episode, I’m joined by Dr. Frankie Bashan, clinical psychologist, sex therapist, and queer matchmaker extraordinaire. Together, we explore why queer femme/sapphic dating can feel so confusing, how trauma and gender roles sneak into our relationships, and what actually builds real, healthy connection—without losing the spark.Whether you’re queer, questioning, or just curious about what it’s like when two women fall (and sometimes crash) into love, this one’s for you.You can find my spicy site here. https://talksexwithannette.com/talk-sex-with-me/My spicy OF handle is @talksexwithannetteMy free spicy handle is @annettetalkssexSubscribe to my e-newsletter: https://she-explores-life.ck.page/e9760c390cAsk a question, Leave a Comment: https://www.speakpipe.com/LockerRoomTalkPodcastMy substack: https://talksexwithannette.substack.com/Use code EXPLORES15 for 15% off all Womanizer Products at Womanizer.com.
