Ep6: 2 Kinky Bros Walk Into a Therapist’s Office (with Dr. Ty Lerman)

This week, we brought in an actual expert. Like… a real doctor.

After five episodes of two brothers oversharing about kink, relationships, communication, and discovery, it was time to bring in someone who actually knows what they’re talking about.

Enter Dr. Ty Lerman—clinical sexologist, certified sex therapist.

Together, we tackle some of the biggest questions listeners have been asking:
Is kink “normal”?
What’s the difference between a kink and a fetish?
Is jealousy inevitable?
Can open relationships actually work?
And why are conversations about sex still so damn hard?

This episode is honest, educational, validating, and probably the one you’ll want to send to someone else.

• Is it actually weird that two brothers talk openly about kink?
• The surprising stats on how many people are kinky (hint: way more than you think)
• Kink vs. fetish: what’s the actual difference?
• Why sex conversations still feel so taboo
• Open relationships: what people get wrong before they start
• Compersion: the word more people need to know
• Jealousy vs. envy (and why they’re NOT the same thing)
• Dr. Ty’s advice for anyone exploring kink for the first time

This conversation is packed with information—but it’s still just that: a conversation.
Not therapy. Not medical advice. Just honest discussion with someone who’s spent years helping people navigate these exact topics.
