We’re living through a crisis of connection, and both men and women are hurting. We’re all craving intimacy, but are struggling to meaningfully connect. Dating apps, AI chatbots and evolving gender roles are contributing to our challenge of connection, but as I explore in this episode, hope is not lost. It’s up to us to make space for intimacy in our lives. And that process starts with knowing ourselves, something AI can help us do.
In this episode, I’m joined by Kaamna Bhojwani, a certified sexologist and researcher. She is one of the leading voices at the intersection of technology and human intimacy. Kaamna has spent years exploring how our digital world is reshaping the most intimate parts of our lives: how we relate, how we connect, and what it means to feel close to someone.
She unpacks this age of relational tech based on her research in psychology, spirituality, and her experience working with individuals and couples all over the world navigating sex and intimacy in their lives and relationships.
Topics Covered:
- The state of sex today, and how technology is impacting our interpersonal relationships
- What relational tech is, and how it can help us become more self-aware and help us develop intimacy in our relationships
- Ways AI can help us confront and work through our feelings of sexual shame
- How the language we use to discuss sex can reinforce gender roles
- How AI can help people seeking true connection
