About this episode

The episode discusses the misconceptions around vanilla dating as a prerequisite for kink dating, sharing personal anecdotes and insights.

Ahhh vanilla dating…. Well, it mainly sucks. Jk! Maybe not! Either way, it's not something you have to do before you get to be kinky. It's good to know what you want and go after it, and treat each experience as information to be collected along the way. Except for that time Lina went on a vanilla date with a guy who Venmo requested her $2 for a hot dog while she was in the uber home from his apartment. That was not an especially valuable learning experience. Join us for the Deep Dive with author S.T. Gibson on 4/18!
