The Relationship Show with Dr. Wendy & Miss Jenni - Ashley Madison Hack: The Impact of Affairs, Technology, & Schadenfreude on Committed Relationships, Pt. 2 - ep. 13

Episode 13 - “Ashley Madison Hack:  The Impact of Affairs, Technology, & Schadenfreude on Committed Relationships”:  Part 2 

Looking for emotional connection outside a romantic relationship might mean game over for some people, or it could just be a game some people play.  

In Part 2 of this episode, Wendy, Jenni, & Candace continue their conversation on the Ashley Madison hack and what it says about technology’s power to prevent and distract from intimacy.  These days, with the fantasy of an affair being just a click away, how do we stay focused on our partners??  How does anyone trust their partners - especially if they’ve been hurt before?  

Perhaps the answer to it all is hidden in Shakespeare’s Sonnet one sixteen… tune in to find out! 

**Correction: in this episode Miss Jenni refers to an essay on UnMonogamy by Camille Paglia - which is incorrect.  The essay entitled "UnMonogamy:  Loving Tricks and Tricking Lovers” was written by author Pat Califia and is included in her book “Public Sex:  The Culture of Radical Sex” (2nd edition, 2000)
