Closeness
THE CLOSENESS PODCASTYour New Sex EducationHosted by Tari Mannello — Southern California's most sought-after sex and intimacy coach, with 80+ five-star reviews — Closeness is an honest, intelligent education in the things almost none of us were ever actually taught: desire, attraction, seduction, and the art of real connection.

What a woman’s body is capable of Part 2: How to turn her on 17.06.2018 56:29
Self love and “touching yourself” is an interesting concept. Observe how you feel when you simply read the question: “Do you touch yourself?” or “Do you masturbate?” Some women have no issue being handsy multiple times a day, while others rarely touch themselves with no immediate plans to do so in the future. If we tack on the additional challenge of touching yo...

Helping a woman spill over into orgasm is a very exciting experience. We’re big fans of the whole process.

Why you should talk to strangers 30.05.2018 21:14
Have you ever caught yourself creating emotional barriers with a simple phrase like, “You don’t know me!” or “You’re a stranger!” or “You could be a serial killer” when you’re on a date and trying to make a smart choice?

Unrequited love: What to do when you like someone more than they like you 15.05.2018 21:00
Unrequited love — what to do when feelings aren’t equal — is one of the most painful and least talked-about experiences in dating and relationships.

How to know when you’re being lead on 30.04.2018 17:00
Ever find yourself telling someone, “I don’t want to waste my time” on a date? Sure, it feels like you’re setting boundaries, but let’s be real—this harsh phrase can come off as dismissive and cold. What about the other person’s time? It implies that anyone who doesn’t instantly captivate you or fulfill your expectations is disposable. Instead of fostering connection, it shuts people d...
How to properly tell someone that you’re not interested 15.04.2018 36:39
Have you ever been accused of “playing games” or not being upfront? For many of us, the challenge lies in uttering three deceptively simple words: I’m not interested. This single sentence has the power to save both time and heartache—for you and for others. If we’re honest, ignoring someone’s advances often does convey disinterest, but only part of the time. In other cases, our silence could be ro...
“I’m Busy” Is Killing Your Sex Life 30.03.2018 28:04
Being too busy is one of the most quietly damaging things you can signal to someone who wants to be close to you. Not because it's mean — but because of what it communicates without a single honest word: that your time matters more, that they aren't worth a follow-up, and that you're not someone who shows up. In this episode, Tari unpacks why chronic busyness and lateness aren't personality quirks...
