The Two Key Elements in Every Healthy Sexual Relationship

As you’ll have heard me share in other videos and blogs, I’ve experienced a lot of heartbreak and heartache caused by infidelity at the hands of past partners, so I know how important it is to discuss and agree on the terms of a sexual relationship.

There’s a huge difference between consensual and non-consensual monogamy, and if one partner thinks a relationship is monogamous and the other thinks it’s casual, you’re going to run into problems.
