Stella Harris is a healthy communication rock star, and just released a new bestselling book on the subject. In this episode, Stella teaches us: what to do when one partner isn't putting in the effort; boundary and expectation setting in the early part of relationships; how communication differs for vanilla and BDSM situations; navigating consent without ruining the mood; sexual improv tips and communication exercises for improving your sex life and more!
Sunny shows her appreciation for Bi Visibility Day and endures a lot of pounding while Ken is away. Catch Stella's bonus story about a very unusual first date on Patreon.
