From sayings like &#8220;freak in the head, freak in the bed&#8221; to the hot/crazy matrix to memes about &#8220;daddy issues,&#8221; the internet is full of content suggesting that mentally and emotionally unstable people make for hotter sex partners. But is that really true? In this episode, we’re breaking down some of the biggest myths about sex and relationships that dominate social media.
I am joined once again by <a href="https://joenuccitherapy.com/">Joe Nucci</a>, a licensed psychotherapist, writer, and social media influencer. His debut book, <a href="https://amzn.to/479LKgX">Psychobabble: Viral Mental Health Myths & the Truth To Set You Free</a>, is available wherever books are sold.
Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include:
<ul>
<li>Why are people with psychopathic characteristics often rated as more attractive?</li>
<li>How are mental health conditions associated with sex drive and sexual behavior?</li>
<li>Are people with &#8220;daddy issues&#8221; more eager to please in bed?</li>
<li>Will therapy make you ready for a relationship?</li>
</ul>
You can <a href="https://joenuccitherapy.com/">check out Joe&#8217;s website</a> to learn more about his work.
