The Love Sex & Dating 'Cast

demo

Soul mates ... it's a beautiful ideal, but one listener is having doubts. Because isn't the job description of a soul mate to support us when we're low or need help and direction? Or is that too much of an ask? Shefali is an artist and she feels like her partner is becoming impatient of her dreams. Is this a warning sign about the relationship? Sibling hosts and the best intimacy coaches and agony aunts ever, Prem and Rogue have many angles to consider. What do you think? Is it an unconditional thing? Or ... can there be some strings attached to this soul mate business? Let us know what you think on social media or email after you listen to the episode! 

LSDcast - episode 71: Soul mates and unconditional support

 What do you do when your ex wants to netflix and chill after having given you the cold shoulder for a year? Sibling hosts Prem & Rogue have a question from someone who is debating whether he should hook up with his ex to exact revenge. He wants to lead her on and then dump her cold. It's all very shady! But he hasn't quite decided what to do yet so he's asking LSDcast! There's no relationship potential, they're consenting adults, and sex with your ex is usually a great scenario but the agenda? You already know what Rogue's going to say here, but there ARE other shades to this story. And we do have some deeper advice for our listener who is contemplating "revenge" - a dish not very easy to handle in the cooking or the serving. So, clearly he should keep it classy. But how? Listen to hear more! Bonus: Prem and his story about hooking up with an ex.

LSDcast - episode 70 Revenge hookups with your ex

Every frog you kiss can't turn into a prince(ss) so ... what do you do with the ones you're pretty sure are not going to be The One!? A listener after the hearts of LSDcast hosts Prem and Rogue -- the siblings who host this podcast and are your best intimacy coaches EVER -- asks about letting people go. Do you owe it to the person you don't want to date to give them closure? Does one need to spell it out that you're not interested? And why? Prem and Rogue discuss the scenarios: sometimes it's organic, and you're both on the same page. But, there are some times when you have to spell it out! Who's the douchebag in this scenario? Listen to the show to figure out how to make that call. (Or text. See what we did there?) Bonus: our mother makes a virtual cameo, with some sage advice!

LSDcast - episode 69: Closure for culling (when you're doing online dating)

LSDcast - episode 68: Etiquette 101: Staying off dating apps in the discovery stage

Someone has a problem with coming across as an asshole. So he's being really nice to this girl he met off a dating app. After painting himself into a corner, he's not sure how to tell her that it isn't turning into a relationship. Enter Prem & Rogue, your existential agony bhaiya and didi, the siblings who double as intimacy coaches and give our listeners advice, primers and real life tips. What's our boy to do? Turns out there is a way he can turn this around. Listen to learn more. Plus a bonus on people who say things they don't mean, and stringing people along. Stay tuned. Prem & Rogue have the lowdown.

LSDcast - episode 67: Being nice versus leading someone on

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 instructions plus some do's and don'ts. Bonus: What to say when someone you barely know says, "I love you"!

LSDcast - episode 66: Should I tell her I have a crush on her

 We talk about rebounds and break ups on the show frequently. One of our listeners wrote in to say all that's fine, but Prem & Rogue, siblings extraordinaire, how long does it take to get over someone? Your favourite advice giving "intimacy coaches" talk about the popular algorithms, the TYPES of breakups and how long (relatively) each takes to recover from because of what's at stake - and stay tuned, Rogue really pulls Prem over the coals for his past relationships! (You may pick up on some tension: A lot of skeletons come tumbling out of that break-up closet.) Listen and tell us what you think! Do you have a recovery formula? How long did it take you and what kind of break up was it? Let us know - @lsdcast on social media.

LSDcast - episode 65: How fast can you get over them?

Dating is hard enough anyway, but when there are pressures to look a certain way, what's a single person to do? Siblings and hosts Prem/Rogue wanted to know - is this a challenge? Guest Dhruvi Shah, who runs @AliceWandering on FB and has done on-camera blind dates, weighs in. We've got real life stories about boyfriend jeans, social pressure, double standards + practical tips on what to say and not to say, and real advice on seeing beyond skin-deep beauty. Tune in now. Tell your friends. And find us (and our FB live at www.facebook.com/alicewandering featuring Rogue) on social

LSDcast - episode 64: Not size-zero (with guest Dhruvi Shah)

Guys, guys, we needed a break because, you know, life! So here's a little roundup with details on some stuff coming up soon. We've got a facebook live event with @AliceWandering on FB who will host Rogue at 16:15 hours IST so if you're in India, do fire up your facebook and tune in. And we're letting you in on the topic for episode 64 (a full-length one) - where your favorite siblings, your most adored intimacy coaches will be back to talk about something a LOT of us normal human beings deal with. Or try to deal with. Meanwhile, email or ping us on social media. @LSDcast - Love, Prem/Rogue

LSDcast - episode 63: FB live on May 23 + teaser

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 know. Also, have you subscribed yet? Or sent in your questions? Do it now!:D

LSDcast - episode 62: Unfriending friends

"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 ditch the word "flaws" from our vocabulary totally and just accept that we're all different! Ok, ok, it's not all philosophy. Listen up, share your thoughts. Tell us what you think and if you have tips. LSDcast@sonologue.com or on social.

LSDcast- episode 61:In the dark

LSDcast - episode 60: Smarter

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 fullfilment with what Naomi calls "a rando" :D Boys and girls, listen up, because this is  essential listening for life! Bookmark it and share it with everyone. And don't worry, we'll have Naomi back, she's a keeper. Send us your questions at lsdcast@sonologue.com

LSDcast - episode 59: Casual sex primer ft guest Naomi Barton

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 and socioeconomic status! We've got case studies of Runaway Bride scenarios as well as happy endings. But, enough about us, take a listen. And tell us if you've seen this happen even in the love-marriage scenario? Bonus: BOTH Prem & Rogue are singing on this episode. (facepalm)

LSDcast - episode 58: Do different backgrounds matter?

Life, love, lust are a roller coaster, but have no fear: Irrepressible siblings, Prem + Rogue, are here to help you navigate the winding turns of love, sex and desi dating. With their differing takes on relationships, their vast dating experience, and their wise ass comments, NO subject is taboo and nothing is off limits. Episodes come out weekly. Topics are intended for mature audiences, mostly urban desis (yes, NRI’s you, too!) but the experiences are universal so whoever you are, join us.
