He lived on the other side of the world. She didn't tell a soul for two years.</strong></p><p>This week Mel flips the script and puts Jay-Jay in the hot seat. We're talking about Jay-Jay's relationship with her partner Minou, the 18-year age gap, meeting through a random Facebook DM, navigating two completely different cultures and religions, and every single opinion the internet has ever had about it.</p><p>Jay-Jay tells us how she tested a stranger's \"humanness\" before believing he was real, why she kept the relationship secret from literally everyone (including her ex-husband), and the moment she finally came clean. We also get into the comment that compared her to a 90-year-old prune, the woman who threatened to \"knock her teeth out,\" and why block-block-block is a completely valid coping mechanism.</p><p>Mel and Jay-Jay dig into the bigger question underneath it all, why do unconventional relationships make people so uncomfortable, and how do you protect your peace when strangers (and sometimes friends) decide they've got a say in your love life?</p><p>Funny, personal, and honestly a bit of a tearjerker in places. Buckle up.</p><p>How to Have Sex is a shame-free sex education podcast hosted by broadcaster Jay-Jay Feeney and certified sex and relationship coach Melissa Vranjes; one nosy, curious host and one expert who actually knows what she's talking about. Every episode tackles the stuff most of us were never taught, minus the awkward classroom diagrams.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> This podcast is proudly sponsored by <strong>Wild Secrets</strong>.
