Uncoupling the Norms – Exploring Ethical Non-monogamy

Click here to send us a message!!!Dating apps were supposed to make meeting people easier. Instead, somehow we ended up with six unanswered texts, unsolicited photos, forced sexual tension, and people acting like a match came with unlimited access to your time, attention, and body.This week, Lizzie and Nash dig into why dating apps make otherwise reasonable people lose their damn minds. They talk about the pressure guys feel to stand out, response-time anxiety, the difference between attraction and actual chemistry, and why moving fast isn’t the problem—moving faster than the other person is. Lizzie shares a dating experience with a woman that went from exciting to exhausting in less than two days, and they get into bisexuality, dating women as a woman, kink, sexual compatibility, consent, unsolicited pics, and the strange way constant messaging can manufacture intimacy before you’ve even met. And because this is Why Is It So Hard?, they also bring it back to ENM: respecting existing relationships, handling boundaries without turning them into a crisis, and remembering that being sex-positive, kinky, bisexual, or non-monogamous does not make someone universally available. A match means curiosity. It does not mean access. Maybe just say hello first.Have a story or a question?

Click here to send us a message!!!Menopause and perimenopause don’t “ruin” relationships. They expose the ones built on autopilot, entitlement, and zero emotional skill. In this Nash-only solo, I’m talking straight to the guys: what’s actually changing, why you’re probably taking it personally, and how to stop turning your partner’s body into your crisis.We get into the real stuff: sleep getting wrecked, mood shifts, why pressure kills desire, why comfort matters more than your ego, and how resentment and the mental load can quietly torch intimacy. We also talk about practical, medically responsible options (yes, lube counts, stop being fragile), when it’s time to talk to a clinician, and how to keep sex hot without making it feel like homework.No soft-focus lectures. Just a blunt relationship reality check for men who want to stay connected and keep the heat alive through this chapter.Have a question or want to know more? Email us at [email protected] or Text us at 814-900-4273Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whyisitsohardpodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieandnashHave a story or a question?
