Ify sat down with Tanya Koens, a somatic sexologist and pleasure activist from Pleasure Love Rating. We’re excited to welcome her back to our returning segment Let's Talk About Sex! Tanya is one of the leading lights in sex and relationships in Australia. She gives people language to tackle sensitive subjects and believes that a healthy sex life has positive impacts in all areas of life. Make sure to catch up on all our episodes back online.  We talked about dating, dating apps and Hinge. Tanya suggested we all ‘hold lightly’, nowadays dating profiles are so ubiquitous and people aren’t looking with a lot of intention, so we shouldn’t place too much importance. Hinge can be great… but quite two dimensional. Tanya suggested we be honest with who we are looking for, and have strong boundaries. We need to ‘fine tune the people coming into our in tray’! Listen back to get all the advice, and Tanya will be on the show every fortnight. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
