In our second virtual episode, nearly 500 people from around the world logged in live to witness Jared chat with people about the things they’re experiencing in bed and in love during quarantine.

Below are some of the highlights.

🙏🏼 A story from a Canadian woman of Indian origin who has discovered the power of self-pleasure as she navigates a solo quarantin...

In this episode, Jared hosts 250+ people from 26 countries for a conversation about love, sex, and dating during Covid-19.  Below are some of the highlights.

👩‍❤️‍👨 A story from two people who found each other on @bumble three weeks ago, had their first date (and “kiss”) over FaceTime, and have deeply fallen for each other.  Also, he’s a doctor working 72-hour shifts on the front lines.  Our hearts melted.

🦹🏽‍♀️ A story of a ...

It's March of 2020, and we are all in the midst of a real crisis of connection right now. We have been told to socially distance ourselves; to steer clear of each other.  To hunker down in our homes, to avoid physical touch; and so our need for human connection has never been greater.

That’s why, in response, we've decided to host a virtual, daily check-in call every night at 6pm EST for the foreseeable future.  Anyone can join.  T...

On today’s episode of Touchpoint, I sit down with two of the bravest people I’ve ever met. Their life stories both individually and collectively stand as prismatic examples of the messes we create when we do not show up as ourselves and the magic we experience when we do.

I first met Nick and Katherine North in Marfa, Texas at a week-long creative conference called Yeah Field Trip.  I was hosting a town hall about love and sex––obv...

Andrew Horn wants men to get more vulnerable.  He’s the founder of a new organization called Junto, a not-so-secret club for men to explore emotional mastery where he curates workshops and weekend retreats for bros to come together, take off their macho masks, and get real about their feelings.  

In a #metoo world, this work is very important.  And that’s why I wanted to chat with Andrew about his personal journey.  In this episode...

Sex, much like life, is best when we feel self-expressed. But that’s why, for many of us, sex just isn’t as good as it could be.  Often, we may feel constricted or afraid, ashamed of what we think, what we want, or where we’ve been.

In this episode of Touchpoint, we hear stories of people who have overcome shame and some that are working on it, some really helpful insights from our sex educator in-residence, Dr. Zhana, and the impo...

Mae West once said, “Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.”  Because while love is the energy that makes life meaningful, money is the tool that make life livable. And at the intersection of love and money comes a very important and often triggering conversation that when left undiscussed, can make for a very challenging romantic ride. In fact, multiple studies have proven that fighting over money is the number ...

Someone once said, “It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.”

I only say “someone” because the quotation has been attributed to at least three different people on the internet, and I really have no idea who said it.

But citations aside, it’s pretty brilliant, right?

After all, life’s challenges in bed, in love, anywhere really are basically measured b...

Sierra had a crush on Cassandra in 9th grade.  But Cassandra didn't think she was into women at that point so it was a no go.  Fast forward to adulthood when they find each other again and fall in love.  And then, last week at our town hall, Sierra pops the question.  Spoiler alert: this episode contains our favorite Touchpoint moment so far. In addition to all that good loving, stories of "kink party" fails, intimate spreadshee...

On this episode, I play a round of the Touchpoint sex tarot with Amy Chan, the founder of Renew Breakup Boot Camp—a shmancy retreat for women to heal after a breakup.

While we explore the intimate details of Amy’s sex life—a conversation she admittedly doesn’t have very often—she does drop some knowledge around self-love, the brain chemistry of someone who is smitten, the discomfort we may feel when usin...

Too often, we accept things the way they are; leaving ourselves and others without what we really need to self-actualize and grow.  Too many desires go unmet.  Too many dreams go unfulfilled.  Too many words go unspoken. And too many relationships go on and on without reciprocity or joy.  In general, we tolerate things that feel wrong or seemingly could be better because we think, “That’s just the ways things are.  Af...

Alright. Let's get spiritual.  This week on the podcast, we have Master Kundalini Teacher, Hari Kaur.  So now you're possibly asking yourself, "WTF is Kundalini?" I totally feel you.  About eighteen months ago, I had no idea what it was either.  But then I met Hari––and along with my partner, Erin––I took her nine-month Kundalini teacher training program in New York City, and it totally rocked my world. Hari is an O.G. in the...

From squirting to consent, journaling to coming out, cosmic love to sexy spreadsheets, the storytellers from this last town hall stirred our souls, opened our minds, and made us laugh—a lot.

Unfortunately, we had some serious technical glitches while recording, and so in some parts the sound quality is just terrible.  We wrestled with whether or not we should share the episode considering the low quality...

Many of us crave deeper connections with our partners--both in bed and in life, and tantra is the art and science of making that connection as deep as possible.

In this conversation, Layla Martin, one of the most epic tantra teachers in the world, provides us with some foundational knowledge for tantric practices, and along the way, shares about her own childhood trauma, her path to sexual healing, and s...

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from talking to thousands of people about their sex lives it’s that we do not need to talk about sex to have sex—but we do need to talk about sex to have great sex.

In this episode, I sit with power couple, Jen Miller and Jason Feifer. Jen is a published author and journalist who writes for the New York Times, The Washington Post, and more. Jason is the editor-in-chief o...
