Lets Talk Sex ·

2026/01/12

Profiles and photos carry useful, testable clues—if you read them kindly and with a method. In this 10‑minute episode Sarah teaches the Two‑Photo Test: pick two non-posed images (a daily scene + an action shot), note three respectful inference categories (rhythm, values, context), then convert each inference into one soft curiosity question to confirm rather than assume. Listeners learn exact, empathy-forward phrasing for in-app messages and a brief voice-note, privacy guardrails to avoid asking for

Lets Talk Sex ·

2026/01/08

Ambiguous signals often stall promising early interactions. This 10-minute episode teaches the 3-Line Map: three concise, warm prompts to co-create Timing (reply/plan window), Tempo (weekend vs weeknight energy), and Next-Step (what counts as an invite). Sarah models three delivery formats—text, a softened voice note, and a brief two-person clip—and offers multiple softened script variants so the Map never reads like a checklist.

The First Five Minutes: The Tempo Test to Reveal Fit

Lets Talk Sex ·

2026/01/07

First impressions are noisy; the trick is listening for tempo and reciprocity, not chemistry alone. In this 10-minute episode Sarah introduces the Tempo Test: a calm grounding line to set tone, a two-question Reciprocity Meter that reveals rhythm and effort, and a low-risk Micro-Ask that tests planning energy.

Lets Talk Sex ·

2026/01/06

Too often second dates become blurry repeats of small talk or pressure-filled auditions. This 10-minute episode gives listeners a practical alternative: design one short agenda that tests a single compatibility signal (values, tempo, or cooperation) while keeping warmth and curiosity front-and-center. Sarah frames the agenda as a collaborative, gentle experiment: pick the signal, choose one 20–40 minute activity that surfaces it naturally, use an inviting two-line script to propose the plan, and a

2026/01/05

Too many promising connections stall after a missed message or a slow reply. This 10-minute episode gives listeners a short, respectful playbook for recovering momentum without appearing needy or ignoring safety.

Lets Talk Sex ·

2026/01/03

This 10‑minute episode shows listeners how to stop scattering cues and start weaving a single, honest narrative—the 'Red Thread'—that makes compatibility easier to spot. Sarah defines why a consistent story (one value + two concrete moments + an anchor) creates pattern recognition across profile lines, messages, and in-person openings. The episode models a real rewrite: a bland profile -> a Red Thread bio, an opening message that echoes the thread, and a 45‑second first‑date pitch performed aloud
