In this episode of Sex, Drugs, and Soul, I chat with certified sexologist Coral Osborne. Our paths crossed in Austin at various events, and I've been impressed by her advocacy for men and the valuable insights she shares online on topics such as dating, intimacy, and authentic relating. We also share stories from our lived sex work experiences and how they have informed our views on intimacy, personal growth, and relationships.
We explore everything from the Madonna-Whore complex, eroticizing trauma, and self-inquiry to why men often seek out sex workers, how childhood informs our relationships, and the subtle ways we deflect vulnerability, like making vulgar jokes to avoid being seen.
If you find yourself feeling disheartened about modern dating, confused by relationship dynamics, or curious about intimacy drivers and lived sex work experiences delivered in a no-BS style, give this one a go.
