Most of us spend years learning math, science, and history—but nobody teaches us how to be in a relationship. Yet, we're expected to communicate effectively: navigate conflict, set boundaries, express our needs, repair hurts, and stay emotionally connected.

In this episode, Dr. Jenn breaks down the relationship skills that many of us never learned growing up—and why the struggles you're experiencing may have less to do with compatibility and more to do with skill building.

You'll learn:

• The difference between chemistry and relationship skills
• Why conflict is normal (and how to handle it better)
• How emotional regulation impacts communication
• The role of boundaries in healthy relationships
• Why resentment often signals an unmet need
• How repair conversations strengthen trust and intimacy
• The power of curiosity, validation, and direct communication

Whether you're dating, partnered, or reflecting on past relationships, this episode offers practical tools to help you create deeper connection and healthier communication.

Because lasting relationships aren't built by perfect people—they're built by people willing to learn, practice, repair, and keep showing up.

Men are Paying to Increase Their Goods

Male enhancement is one of those topics people are curious about but rarely discuss openly. Yet as conversations around men's health, hormone optimization, longevity, and body image continue to grow, more men are asking questions about confidence, appearance, and sexual wellness.

In this week's episode of Pleasure Project, Dr. Jenn sits down with anesthesiologist and co-founder of the Upsize Clinic, Dr. Joel Pash, to explore the rapidly growing world of male enhancement. Together, they discuss what is actually driving demand, the emotional and psychological factors behind these decisions, and the myths that many men carry about their bodies.

The conversation goes far beyond procedures. You'll hear about the impact of pornography and comparison culture, the connection between body image and sexual confidence, why many men underestimate what's considered "normal," and the importance of making informed decisions in an increasingly unregulated marketplace.

Whether you're curious about the topic yourself or simply interested in understanding the pressures men face around sexuality and self-image, this episode offers a thoughtful and surprisingly candid look at a conversation that is happening more often than most people realize.
