The age-old concept of “friends with benefits” is now sometimes called “the new monogamy,” but the idea is the same: Find someone you like, but not “in that way,” and agree to a casual sexual relationship.

In this week’s podcast, we discuss the pros and cons of casual sex and how to avoid hurting one another in our quest for no-strings relationships.
