Ep. 240 - Shan Boodram on Sex, Relationships, + Dating With Confidence

Today we are talking sex and relationships with clinical sexologist Shan Boodram, aka Shan BOODY! Her new book, The Game of Desire, is all about finding your ideal relationship and building confidence in your love life. Shan found her calling by going back to her earliest interest as a child—human connection. After many disappointing relationships, and reading countless (but boring) books on sex, she committed to her purpose of creating fun and accessible information for the every day person.   Shan emphasizes the importance of being in the driver's seat of your dating life—taking action and engaging in purposeful conversation. Her website offers quizzes to help you gain clarity on the type of relationship and sex life you are seeking. We discuss the different apology languages, turn on triggers, and strategies for dating, so your search for love is fulfilling and sustainable. Our conversation gets into the structuring of dating apps, exploring sexuality, monogamy, polyamory, and everything in between.
