I enjoy listening to your podcast. Thank you for what you do! I would love your opinion on a subject. Is it shallow to say that you will not continue in a relationship due to the sex not being good. The person could be great, treat them well, but if sex is not to par, or not enough... is it enough to say no I do not want to progress further due to this. Also, opinion on women being sexually active. Is it still standard for women to be labeled names... it is socially unacceptable.
