    Ryan & Stephen on being Bi, Trans, Polyamorous and... Engaged!

    On today’s episode of Do You Take This Man? soon-to-be-married couple, Steven and Ryan share their story as bisexual polyamorous man and trans man who found in each other, the one. And, if there is one thing that this episode will teach is that vulnerability, negotiation, honesty and communication are the bedrocks of every relationship. We have a lot to learn from our bisexual and trans brothers. And no matter how queer as folk each of us is, it all comes down to a first dance and a family van with the man of our dreams.

    39: Bruno Duarte (Below Deck) on Love, Honesty, and Intimacy

    39: Bruno Duarte (Below Deck) on Love, Honesty, and Intimacy

    When it comes to relationship advice, one might not turn to a reality-star-turned-OnlyFans-star for guidance. But our conversation with Bruno—the breakout star of Season 5 of Below Deck and one of OnlyFans biggest content creators—revealed just how much wisdom a life lived while the cameras are on can share with those of us living life in a relationship with the cameras off.
    It won't come as much of a surprise that honesty and deep communication is core to a strong bond, but what we also learned from Bruno is that jealousy, sharing fetishes and cheating can fuel a healthy relationship. Keep listening to find out how and hear how Bruno and his soon-to-be Alex's relationship is a deeply connected one.
