We're told there's one version of love — two people, forever, exclusive. But what if that's not the whole story? What if love could stretch? What if commitment didn't mean containment? And what if jealousy wasn't a failure, but a teacher? Across the world, people are quietly — and not so quietly — reimagining what relationships can look like. Polyamory, open partnerships, relationship anarchy… wor...

Today, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most powerful—and damaging—forces shaping our sexuality: shame. Sexual shame isn't just about feeling embarrassed in the bedroom. It's a cultural architecture. It's been handed down through religion, medicine, media, and family systems as a way to regulate bodies, desires, and identities. And even when we think we've left those systems behind, sh...

Today we're diving into a topic that feels both radical and beautifully simple: the connection  between joy and sex. We often think of sex as physical, and joy as emotional — but what if  the two are inseparable? What if cultivating a practice of pleasure could actually enhance joy  in every corner of our lives? This conversation is about reclaiming sex as something more than performance or expect...

Today, we're asking a question so many of us whisper to our friends after another awkward coffee date, a half-hearted swipe session, or a ghosting that stings more than we'd like to admit:  why does dating suck right now? Dating apps promise endless possibilities, but often deliver exhaustion. Communication feels harder than ever, expectations feel higher, and somehow, even with more options at ou...

Just like emotional intelligence (EQ) can help us navigate feelings and relationships, Sexual IQ is about how we understand and engage with our own sexuality. It's not measured by performance, experience, or even knowledge of technique. Instead, it's built on curiosity, communication, self-awareness, and a willingnes...

LOVE. We're taught to believe it should look a certain way—sweeping gestures, perfect partners, and a happily ever after that fits nicely inside a neat little box. But what if that story isn't serving us? What if rethinking love—taking it off the pedestal—could actually bring us closer to connection, not further from it? Culturally, when we mention love for a person we often assume it's the love b...

In this episode, Elle Chase explores the concept of eroticism, distinguishing it from mere sexuality. The discussion delves into how eroticism encompasses imagination, creativity, and presence, rather than being confined to sexual acts.
