29. Judging Our Life Choices: Cultural Identities and Love vs. Sex ft. Stephen Yuan
Manage episode 303175796 series 2986968
Is there a gender difference in how we think about sex, cope with depression, and priorities in life? Stephen Yuan shares his thoughts on how he navigates a semi-open relationship, getting out of low points, and his fascination with studying porn. Stephen is a co-host on “Stories with Stephen Yuan” Podcast. This is an interesting episode because we don’t always agree with each other in this conversation.
**Content Warning: Consensual rape porn is discussed**
Highlights:
- How to deal with your Asian identity as an Asian ex-pat in China
- Stephen's weirdest sexual fetish experience with a woman
- Is there a gender difference in how we cope with depression?
- What separates love from sex?
- How internet porn has affected millennial men and women
Takeaways:
- We don't need to force our own coping mechanisms onto others
- You can be clear and upfront about what you want and not be an asshole at the same time
- We often shame and judge people based on their life choices, sexual preference, relationship style, careers etc. This hurts us all. Respect each other's choices
- Therapy helps you recognize and process emotions instead of pretending they're not there
- Recognize your every day wins
- It's okay for men to "not be in the mood" as well
Mentions & Resources:
- Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities by. Dossie Easton & Catherine A. Liszt (Book)
