Ep 33: Restrictions vs Boundaries - Denying a Partner Pleasure

When does a boundary become a restriction? We define a boundary as where the line is between comfortable and uncomfortable - what we can handle and what might be too much. It allows for some flexibility and creates a space for us to still play and explore. An important part of a boundary is not projecting onto a partner, but rather looking internally to find our own limits. A restriction is limiting, not allowing for any exploration and saying you can't have it. No room is allowed for exploration or growth for either party. Protecting ourselves is important, but we want to do this by defining our boundaries with our partners, not restricting our partners.

Abbie and Antonio discuss mindset shifts through self-talk, engaging with social media, partnerships, jealousy, self-pleasure within relationships, working through fear, restrictions versus boundaries, feeling competitive, opposite gendered friendships, and sharing your dating life.
