That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating.

Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patternsâall with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
