So, hosts Prem & Rogue plus Prem's hair. (n/m, it's an inside joke) have a question about app etiquette. Do you keep shopping around online while you're engaging with someone IRL? At what time do you turn your profile off? Or dormant? Do you talk about it with each other? If you do, then when? And yes, of course, the siblings have opinions. And stories. And case studies (personal ones.) And a story about snooping in a date's phone! What are you waiting for? Listen to the episode and tell us ...

This week Prem & Rogue talk about whether there is such a thing as being TOO direct. Should you pledge your troth and let your crush know you want to ask her/him out because you really, really like them *that way*? Would that scare them off? Our listener tried it and the object of his affection ghosted on him. What's he doing wrong? Well... he's obviously come to the right place. Your favorite sibling hosts and intimacy coaches are here to unpackage the situation for him and ... we've got in...

In our increasingly socially connected work, online, if not offline, breakups can have ripple effects, when you share friends as a couple. What then, would Prem and Rogue advise? When you break up with a partner, do you also break up with their friends? Are there exception? Sibling hosts Prem & Rogue actually agree on the answer -- listen to find out what they think-- but come at it from different directions, unsurprisingly. What do you think? Who should do the unfriending, anyway? Let us kn...

"Don't turn off the lights" says Enrique and at least one guy who wrote to us. Sibling, hosts Prem & Rogue talk about why women don't want the lights on during sex (and men do) -- and turns into a dialogue about body image, body positivity, and those sensitive spots (thigh gaps, jiggly tummies, stretch marks, we've got it all covered.) - how to talk about them, and how to deal with other people's sensitivities. How do you make someone feel sexy even when they have "flaws"? And should we just...

We've got a head-scratcher this time with a question from a listener who is wondering if her being smarter than her partner is going to be a problem. Your favorite advice doling siblings, Prem/Rogue debate what that means - are there different *kinds* of smarts. Does it have to be a conflict? Or can they complement each other? (Plus Prem treads on thin ice by calling Rogue book smart and ... not smart in other ways). We discuss relationships, contempt, knowledge and case studies. Have you ever f...

Recently the Indian twitterwebs exploded with a primer on how to do casual sex. And we thought we should broaden that conversation so...joining your favorite hosts, your favorite siblings Prem & Rogue is our new best friend @naomi0_0barton who tells it like it is. Who supplies the condoms? Do you discuss STD's? Kinks? Do you just whip off your shirt when he asks you up for coffee? Do's, don'ts, taxis, oral, hotel rooms, and all the physical details you need to sort out for a night of fun and...

Three years into a relationship that is solidifying into the next step of marriage, our listener wants to check with intimacy coaches and (totally self styled) love, sex and dating gurus Prem and Rogue if the little 'compromises' she's noticing mean she's going to end up unhappy? Her fiance has had her back until now, but her slightly regressive in-laws-to-be are gaining the upper hand _with_ his backing, right now. We're invoking Bollywood movies including some classics and yes, even, religion ...

This week on the show, Prem and Rogue (your favorite intimacy coaches and all round advice givers) have a situational analysis to unpackage for you. One listener sent over an entire email chain detailing what went down when he wrote his (now ex) long distance partner that he was moving on -- and it snowballed out of control. He's asked the siblings to check it out and tell him, the poor baffled boy, where he fucked up. Really. And ... you know how this goes! Prem and Rogue are more than happy to...

Prem and Rogue have a different kind of question today, well, it's more of a discussion actually. Someone we know is involved with a man who defines himself as polyamorous. They started out just hooking up, and his status was okay, but now, she has feelings for him, but he won't change. What do the siblings think of this, we were asked. Well, we tell you. And Prem doesn't hold back. Tune in... Bonus: Would Prem ever date someone who defined herself as polyamorous? And we also discuss three-lette...

Today we've got a third party question :) Siblings Prem and Rogue, your favorite relationship and intimacy coaches, hear from a girl whose best friend is being manipulated and, dare we say it, used (!) by her partner. He makes things her fault, he gets his way by making her change things around. Our correspondent is worried and so are we. Prem seems more negative than Rogue, but you'll have to listen to find out why -- and tell us whom you agree with. Can things change? How much is self-esteem t...

So, is it a gender thing? We have a question from a listener whose partner never backs down and says those three magic words "I. Am. Sorry." -- Join siblings and your favorite intimacy coaches Prem & Rogue talk about whether it's conditioning or just that he's an asshole! It's more than a philosophical debate about nature versus nurture? Prem says either way, look for other ways he may be showing he's sorry. Rogue wants to know why the words are important. Is it for closure? What do you thin...

Whether you're doing it standing up or bent over backwards (refer to episode 50 on "acrobatic sex") there has to be an optimal duration for sex, right? In this episode, your hosts, irrepressible and often giggly siblings, Prem and Rogue take on the best times for sex. If it were an Olympic event, would you win gold?

It's episode 49 and this time we've got a humdinger of a show. Yeah! We're talking about asexuality (what is it? and why is it? and is it normal? and if our listener's girlfriend is asexual and it makes him insecure but the sex is good, is it a problem?) *deep breath* Come on over, we're taking it all on. And we're also talking about the rut of being with a partner who's just not that exciting anymore. Used to be that our listener and her partner couldn't wait to come home to each other and talk...

In episode 47, your hosts Prem and Rogue had a little mock squabble - as siblings do - with some mock threats (remember \"rum PUNCH\"?) so this time we're talking love bites (well, kinda linked, isn't it?) and we've got a legit expert to come talk to us about when verbal threats in a relationship move from being playful to actually alarming. We have criminologist Rashi V (@mizarcle on twitter) joining us to talk about intent, safety and threat in a relationship, violence and the different types ...

We made sure we were good and ready before diving into this episode - unlike our listener's partner - scoffed at her when she said she wasn't juiced up. Yes, we're talking penetration without lube (natural or not.) So boys, girls, listen up to your favorite relationship and intimacy coaches, siblings Prem & Rogue, as they tell you how to deal with a situation like this IRL... We also have a question from someone who's in a no strings attached dating situation with someone. So, clearly they s...

We've talked about best friends before - it's a tricky thing when your bestie starts dating and even trickier when they start seeing someone you know ... and dislike! We've got a triangle where one listener's best friend is dating someone who was a douchebag in high school. Can people change? Should he call disaster before it strikes? Or hold his tongue? Prem & Rogue are surprisingly on the same page about what to do (but not why). What do you think? In the sex segment, we've got a question ...

Sorry, guys. Prem and Rogue are under the weather. Well, we all are. If weather is a thing you can be under; or in; or through. But, we digress. They're both unwell so instead of a full episode here's a small voice note with good wishes for you all. We'll be back next week, which is also next year!

Prem lurves kids and for Rogue, someone with a child is a deal breaker. The two opposing factions take on a question from someone about when and how to introduce her new partner to her child. Your hosts may not be the most qualified to judge, but they give it a go (and we'd love your thoughts as well.) And in the sex segment, they hear from someone whose partner doesn't get or know about foreplay. Ouch. Prem has a suggestion you're definitely going to want to get your hands -- or some other body...

We follow up on the "It's me, not you" break up to tackle the question of how the guy who breaks up because he's a commitment-phobe is suddenly dating, even engaged to be married, in three hot minutes. What is going on here? Was he lying? Was he cheating? Did she dodge a bullet? Is he on the rebound? Prem is on the spot, because, well, he's the boy! In the sex segment, we get another question from a listener who's getting on tinder - and is self-conscious about her stretch marks. How much of a d...
