Welcome to episode 215 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I’m delighted to welcome Connell Barrett to the podcast. In this episode, Connell speaks with me about ways we can navigate our first time having sex in a new relationship, the importance of play and why being present is so important.

 

Dating coach Connell Barrett has one mission: help men defeat loneliness and attract their soulmates, as their most authentic, confident selves. The founder of Dating Transformation and a coach with The League dating app, Connell spent years training with the world’s best relationship and self-development experts.

 

Connell’s next project? Showing men a new way to date with his forthcoming book, Dating Sucks But You Don’t, the complete dating guide for men in the #MeToo era, to be published in May by Simon & Schuster.
