The episode discusses how to approach casual flings intentionally during periods of life where commitment is not desired.

When is the last time you felt that intoxicating rush of chemistry while dating?

We're discussing when flings make sense during certain periods of life, how you can feel alive again after a dry spell or dating burnout, and ways to approach having a fling that keeps you in control, feeling respected, and having fun. ---- And what better way to explore having a Fling!
