Since 2016, thousands of people in New York City have attended the touchpoint town hall, an open forum conversation about love and sex. It's real people sharing the things they've experienced in bed and in love amongst a room of a hundred perfect strangers. Everyone can be anonymous and anyone can share. This podcast will feature some of the stories that are shared as well as some narration from touchpoint founder, Jared Matthew Weiss.

At touchpoint, our mission is to cultivate emotional, relational, and sexual intelligence by creating space for people to learn from each other.

    Love, Sex, & Dating During Covid-19: Part Six

    On this week's episode of the Touchpoint Town Hall, we heard from two couples who were navigating unique challenges in quarantine.
    First, Brandi and Kat shared about negotiating personal space while in lockdown. Especially since Brandi is a trans man who longs for alone time to become "more familiar" with his new body.
    Then, Jedaya and Josué opened up about being in a new relationship, navigating a miscarriage, and overcoming some bad programming about what it means to be a man.
    Finally, we chatted with some Super Eligible Humans––aka singles who were ready to mingle.
