Dating sex is not married sex. In this candid conversation, we break down why intimacy shifts after “I do”—from courting and spontaneity to the mental load, exhaustion, kids, and the infamous frequency debate.

We also dive into the Sydney Sweeney / American Eagle ad backlash, why it went viral, and what it says about outrage culture in 2025.
