In this thought-provoking episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik is joined by storyteller, strategist, and spiritual explorer Padmini Pandya to unpack one of modern dating’s most debated questions: When is the right time to have sex with someone you’ve just started dating? Together, they explore the interplay of emotional readiness, spiritual alignment, societal norms, and energetic exchange. Padmini’s honest insights—rooted in lived experiences across cultures—challenge the often casual lens through which sex is viewed today. This episode offers a grounded, deeply personal lens into intimacy, timing, healing, and self-awareness in the modern age.
