Conversations We Need To Have

In this episode of Conversations We Need to Have, Andrea tackles a topic that makes a lot of people nervous — sexting. If the idea of typing something sexual makes your palms sweat and your brain go blank, you’re not broken — you’re normal. Sexting isn’t instinctive. It’s a learned skill, shaped by culture, confidence, and comfort, and like all sexual skills, it’s awkward before it’s hot. Andrea explores why sexting feels so intimidating, how fantasy and reality can coexist safely, and why there’s no “right” way to sext — only the way that works for you and the person on the other end of the phone.Resource Mentioned: All the Fcking Mistakes* – Gigi Engle
