In this episode, Hannah is joined by April Lee and Renee Wong, platonic life partners originally from Singapore and now based in LA. April and Renee tell Hannah all about their personal story and what led to them becoming platonic life partners, what a PLP actually is, and how to tell the difference between a best friend, a potential PLP, and a romantic love connection. They talk about getting to handpick things that create security and commitment in their partnership without having to deal with the complex legalities of marriage, why it’s more common for women and queer people to have PLPS, and also their experiences of dating other people while in their PLP. Finally, April and Renee talk about what it’s like navigating such a sexualised world when demisexual, what would happen if one of them were to meet a romantic partner, and why, if they were to have children, they would want to do it with each other.
