sex

Arousr recently participated in a Scientific Article that discusses the Sex Chat Hosts and Sex Workers motivations for working in the adult entertainment industry. 

Do they only sex chat with men online for money or do they really enjoy this line of work? How important is the money to a sex chat worker?

Some very interesting points where made by Sexologist Anna Kelberg when she looked at the data and they will surprise you!

In fact, overall it was discovered that sex chat hosts on Arousr are not primarily motivated by money and more in this Interview. Listen into the full episode to uncover the truth and fact about sex work and the real intentions behind sex chat hosts online.

What is it that pulls one person toward another, and connects them? What does love and attraction do to our brain, and vice versa? Biological anthropologist Helen Fisher has been studying questions of love and relationships for over 40 years. Through detailed data collection, research questionnaires and even brain scans, she has collected massive amounts of information on the topic, and identified four main styles of thinking that guide a person’s behavior and lovelife. Fisher is the chief scientist for Match.com, and a senior research fellow at the Kinsey Institute. In this 2017 interview from the Aspen Ideas Festival archives, Atlantic writer Olga Khazan talks to Fisher about why love takes so many different forms and trajectories, and looks so different for all of us. They cover attraction, romantic love, slow love, divorce, adultery and what keeps love alive.

Today's episode features Andre Paradis, an experienced Relationship Coach. We discuss relationship dynamics, power imbalances, nature, and hookup culture. Usually I don't ask straight cis men for their opinions but Andre had be challenging my own thinking and maybe not all men are trash? Maybe boys are but not men. Andre has been studying people his entire life. Over a decade ago, he was compelled to teach his findings and knowledge to the masses for they kept asking him “why things seemed to be so hard or confusing” when dealing with relationships, people and life. Often, relationships can seem to be a power struggle. The magic is to be fully aware of the energy mechanism in place in these dynamics and learn to negotiate the terms to reduce power friction.(From the Andre Paradis official website.) Andre and I discuss what works and doesn't work in relationship and how the culture that we know today may be harming relationship equity and happiness.

This week, Maria speaks with Atoosa Rubenstein.

Atoosa Rubenstein is the author of Atoosa Unedited, an at-times confronting, at-times healing weekly letter on Substack where she models authenticity, self-love and acceptance for her readers. The former Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen Magazine and Founder/Editor-in-Chief of CosmoGIRL! In 1998, Rubenstein created a prototype for CosmoGIRL! within 48 hours and was offered the job on the spot making her, at 26,  the youngest Editor in Chief in the over 100 year history of Hearst Magazines. After a successful run at CosmoGIRL!, Hearst acquired Seventeen and tapped Rubenstein to turn the venerable title around. After just one year at the title, Rubenstein reversed a five year decline in Seventeen's newsstand sales and delivered a total newsstand growth of 23% within two years. She also conceived and was an Executive Producer on MTV's Miss Seventeen a series that debuted in the fall of 2005. The following year, Rubenstein left the industry altogether to undergo a grueling 13-year personal excavation and discovery mission that led to three of her own daughters and now, a twice-a-week love letter Atoosa Unedited, written for her beloved readers, now adults in their own right. Columbia University has honored her as one of the top 250 alumni through the ages. She has also been recognized by the Girl Scout Council of Greater New York as a Woman of Distinction. Rubenstein has been featured in Crain's New York Business’ "40 Under 40" and Folio's "30 Under 30." She lives in Manhattan with her three daughters.
