Valentine’s Day, Just Different
When you love differently, you can celebrate your relationships in fresh ways and carry those moments into everyday life.
Sex Positive Me Podcast Episode 93
Valentine’s Day is an event usually filled with heart-shaped gifts, chocolate candies, and thoughts of love — at least, it is for most people. But what if your view is a little different? What if you believed acts of love should be an everyday occurrence and not once a year obligation? Or perhaps you think in the 21st century, Valentine’s Day should be planned by all parties instead of being a male’s chivalrous responsibility. How do you handle this holiday if you’re in an alternative relationship, and more than two parties are involved? These were the subjects in this special Valentine’s Day episode of Sex Positive Me.
