This week we’re Hanging Out with Dr. Nigel Marcellus, who has a PhD in communication and studied Black love, relationships and how we experience love.

Nigel has shares how and why he has never been in an official relationship and that he's been abstinent for 9 years. So obvs, we talk about sex, abstinence and modern dating from a man’s perspective. We get into the pressure men feel around sex, masculinity, emotional safety, vulnerability and intimacy.

We also get into self-worth, losing yourself trying to be what someone else wants, what men are looking for in relationships and why knowing what a healthy relationship looks like doesn’t necessarily make dating any easier.

Aja and Grant talk to Nigel about his work, his experiences with dating and what it’s like to study love while still figuring out relationships for yourself.

Besties, let us know how you feel about this episode. Could you go 9 years without sex? And what do you think men and women misunderstand most about each other when it comes to dating?

Comment Your Thoughts!

Besties, let us know what y'all think on this one!
