There are many assumptions made in the realm of sex and relationships - I'm talking the idea of "common sense" or advice that just "feels true" when you hear it. We're all susceptible to familiar things seeming "right."

One such truism is the idea that playing hard to get will help you in dating and sex. So, will it? 

On today's episode, we'll cover:

• Dispelling the myth that playing hard to get is something only women do
• Look at the downstream effects of playing hard to get in your relationships
• Cover a number of questions to ask yourself when deciding whether to play hard to get
• Some alternatives, if you decide playing hard to get isn't for you

The audio for today's podcast was taken from a recent YouTube Livestream. Everyday in January, I'm going live looking at a trope or truism and applying some critical thinking. The aim is to bust myths, drop some counter-intuitive knowledge, and spend the first month of the year equipping you to have your best ever sex and relationship life in 2021.
