What if you could reimagine your relationships in a way that's not only non-traditional but also deeply fulfilling?

Our conversation further ventures into the intriguing terrain of 'relationship anarchy', emphasizing consent, communication, and freedom from expectations. We discuss the challenges of building depth in non-traditional relationships and how to create more room for love and pleasure in our lives.
