Dateable: Your insider's look into modern dating and relationships

We're talking sex, no sex, arbitrary rules around sex, and shame around sex as we unpack the differences between straight and gay sexual "norms" with Matthew Beier. We discuss why heteronormative traditions are still so difficult to break out of, how the lack of "rules" have influenced gay sex culture, and how the fundamental differences have overarching similarities for all of us to keep evolving our views on sex.Follow us @dateablepodcast.

We say we want the life partner...yet we focus on qualities that make a great prom date. Let's unpack with Logan Ury about the surprising science that will help you find love – and how she's learned firsthand what really matters in a long-term partner when life doesn't always go smoothly. We discuss swiping past perfect matches (as she did initially with her now-husband Scott), filtering for the qualities that really matter, and how to date smarter knowing the irrational behavior we may possess.Follow Logan Ury at @loganury and check out her new book 'How to Not Die Alone' https://amzn.to/37og6he and learn more about Logan at loganury.comThis episode is brought to you by:Kensington’s newest title DRIVEN by Rebecca Zanetti.You can find DRIVEN wherever books are sold or visit kensingtonbooks.comKensington’s newest title THE DUKE HEIST by Erica Ridley.
