The Glitter Box

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 16:00:00 -0500

Hello everyone. Tonight, on Midnight Therapy, we discuss the power of sex in relationships. How do men and women value sex? Is the notion of chastity still relevant in the world of online dating and Only Fans? Where sex sells to the highest bidder. And the over-sexualization of men and women on social media challenges traditional relationship norms.

Sex is something that drives us. The need to procreate is buried deep within our DNA to pass our genes to the next generation. It can also be a great source of pleasure if you do it right. Is there a value in saving yourself for the right person? Or in the words of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

What are the rules of engagement for 2024? Does a man still need to provide his worth? Does a man still need to prove his worth to his partner by accumulating wealth, status, and power? And is a woman supposed to be submissive and acquiesce to the needs of the man? Tonight, on Midnight Therapy, we explore the magic and the mysteries of the Glitter Box.

It's Not You it's My Wi-Fi: Part Two

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 18:00:00 -0500

Welcome to the ' Midnight Therapy Podcast.' I'm your host, Dr.Baba Ashun. Today, we're unraveling a topic as old as humanity itself. But has been exacerbated in the age of social media.

This term sends chills down the spine and leaves us in a cloud of bewilderment, a phenomenon that seems as ephemeral as it is impactful – we're talking about 'ghosting.' Yes, you heard it right!

Ghosting is the act that exists not only in the romantic realm but also in friendships, familial ties, and even professional relationships.

It's a haunting experience when someone you've shared countless messages, phone calls, or even intimate moments with suddenly, without any explanation, goes completely silent and disappears from your life.

Making you question the entire context of your relationship. They become a ghost in your life, hence the term - ghosting. So, are you a victim of ghosting? Or are you guilty of doing it yourself? Either way, you're in the right place.

We'll hear real-life stories from folks who've been on both sides of the ghosting coin. So buckle up as we demystify the eerie silence of ghosting and shed light on this pervasive part of our modern, digital lives. Stay tuned, because on 'Midnight Therapy,' we don't ghost... we converse, understand, and heal. Therapy is in session."

"Welcome to 'Midnight Therapy', where we journey into the heart and soul of humanity's deepest connections. I'm your host, Dr.Baba Ashnu. As Chris Rock said, relationships are 'easy to get into, but hard to maintain'. Throughout history, from primal family ties and community bonds to spiritual allegiances and modern professional networks – and yes, even the intricate dance of romance – our lives are a tapestry of interwoven relationships.

Our ancestors banded together on Africa's ancient savannahs for safety and laid the foundation for a lineage of connectivity. Fast forward to today's digital age of tweeting, swiping, and... shall we touch upon those sugar daddy arrangements? Ah, the fascinating intersections of relationships and economics! Today, we dive deep.

We'll explore how identity, group dynamics, and the tangible and intangible exchanges in relationships, including those economic 'arrangements', shape our societies and our very souls."
