Cheating is not about sex, and we as a culture have so reduced intimacy to a very, very, very narrow definition of physical intercourse that we use it as a blanket to patch over the ways that we are unfaithful to our partners or the ways that we emotionally betray our partners.
Imagine thinking cheating is only about physical acts, only to discover the deeper scars left by emotional betrayal. In this eye-opening episode of 'A Stripper's Guide', hosts Leilah Feinstein and Erica Sosa dive into the often-overlooked realm of emotional infidelity. Millennials have been at the forefront of challenging outdated norms, yet some harmful practices persist, particularly in how we handle intimate relationships.
Leilah and Erica shed light on how emotional infidelity can devastate a relationship, sometimes even more than physical cheating. They discuss the pervasive issue of gaslighting, especially towards femmes, and the silent bystander syndrome that allows such behavior to continue unchallenged. Drawing from their own experiences and those of their friends, they paint a vivid picture of what it means to build healthy relationships based on empathy, compassion, and clear communication.
They also delve into polyamory, exploring the nuances of ethical non-monogamy. Is monogamy a conscious choice for you, or just the default setting you've never questioned? This episode encourages listeners to critically examine their conditioning and make intentional choices about their relationships. Leilah and Erica emphasize that empathy and open dialogue are the cornerstones of any successful relationship, whether monogamous or polyamorous.
So if you're curious about the complexities of emotional infidelity and want to learn more about fostering healthy, ethical connections, this episode is a must-listen.
