Let's normalize this: You can have boundaries in casual s*x. Actually, you SHOULD have boundaries in casual s*x.
Just because it's a one-night thing doesn't mean your comfort, safety, or autonomy are negotiable.

✨ Non-negotiable boundaries for hookups:

Discuss birth control beforehand (not after)
You can change your mind at ANY point (even if they paid for drinks)
Communicate your hard no's upfront—don't wait for them to ask
If something feels off, trust your gut and leave (your safety > their feelings)
Casual s*x should still feel respectful and safe
Discuss STI/STD history beforehand (no, it's not a mood killer)

If someone makes you feel bad for having standards, they're not the one. Period.

Casual doesn't mean careless with your body or boundaries.

In 2026 with The Files released and survivors silenced, being “not political” is unacceptable.

It screams, “I will be silent if anything happens to you.” And “I don’t want to examine the privilege I have to even be able to say I’m ‘not political.’”

Women are out here doing the work to stay safe. You with us or not?

Grow the eff up.

If you struggle with setting boundaries, save this script:
'I'm not comfortable with that.'

That's it. You don't owe an explanation. You don't need to soften it. You don't have to give a reason.

'I'm not comfortable with that.'

And if they push back? That tells you everything you need to know about them.

Your comfort matters more than their convenience.

Practice saying this out loud right now: 'I'm not comfortable with that.' No justification. No apology. Just a clear boundary. The right people will respect it immediately.

Save this for when you need the reminder.

NEW BLOG POST: The Distance at Which I Can Love You and Me

Boundaries aren't walls keeping people out—they're invitations for the right people to come closer.

I just published a comprehensive guide on setting boundaries in relationships, casual encounters, and even one night stands. (Yes, you absolutely can and should have boundaries in casual s*x.)

Here's what's inside:

The red flags that someone doesn't respect your boundaries
Exact scripts for real situations (when they want to skip protection, when they're pressuring you, when you change your mind)
What to do when someone crosses your boundary (4-step process)
How to RECEIVE a boundary without getting defensive (this changed everything for me)
Why clear boundaries actually create deeper intimacy

Plus: what Grey's Anatomy's first episode teaches us about power dynamics, consent, and workplace relationships.

This is my most comprehensive post on boundaries yet. If you've ever struggled to say no, felt guilty for having standards, or wondered why people don't respect your limits—this is for you.

🎙️ NEW PODCAST EPISODE: One Night Stands & Boundaries

Remember the first episode of Grey's Anatomy? Meredith wakes up next to a stranger, heads to her first day of work, and discovers her one night stand is actually her boss.

Relatable? Maybe not the surgeon part, but the awkward workplace run-in? Definitely.

In this week's episode of 50 Shades of Grey's, I break down:

What actually happens after a one night stand (the psychology, not just the plot)
Why Derek's "charming" response was actually a red flag
How to set boundaries when power dynamics are at play
The ONE thing you should do when someone sets a boundary with you

This isn't just a Grey's recap—it's a relationship autopsy.

Real talk: Boundary-pushing starts small. That 'harmless' joke after you said you didn't like it? That's testing. The guilt trip when you can't hang out? That's manipulation.

If someone truly respects you, they respect your boundaries the FIRST time—no convincing needed.

🚩 Signs someone doesn't respect your boundaries:

They guilt-trip you when you say no
They "forget" boundaries you've clearly stated
They test your limits to see what they can get away with
They call you "too sensitive" when you enforce boundaries
They don't have boundaries of their own
They make you explain/defend your boundaries repeatedly

Here's the truth: You don't need a 'good enough' reason. No is a complete sentence.

Which of these have you experienced? Drop a number 1-6 in the comments. 👇

The spark is bull. I said what I said.

Normally when we refer to “the spark” we are talking about chemistry which is normally created through chaos.

Stop asking "Do I still love them?" and start asking THIS instead.

We've been taught that love is a feeling you either have or you don't, so when things feel hard, boring, or disconnected in our relationships, we panic and think "Maybe I don't love them anymore." But here's the truth about healthy relationships: love isn't just a feeling, it's a choice you make every single day. Instead of "Do I still love them?" ask yourself: Am I choosing them today? Am I showing up with kindness, effort, and intention? Am I willing to work through the hard stuff together? Feelings fluctuate in long-term love, but commitment doesn't have to.

Sustainable love and lasting partnerships are built on daily choices and emotional connection, not constant butterflies. Want to start connecting in a healthy way?

Let me drill this into every brain: love isn’t a feeling. It’s a choice.

So if you’ve lost that loving feeling (had to), that doesn’t mean you don’t love them!

Try making choices to feel connected again.

The spark is BS, let me explain. What we call "the spark" is actually your body responding to uncertainty - pounding heart, sweaty palms, feeling like you can barely breathe. But we base SO much of our relationship decisions on whether "the spark" is there or not. Here's the truth: those feelings are not markers of safe, sustainable connection or healthy relationships. And guess what? If the spark isn't real, it can't be lost!

Couples that stay connected for the long-term focus on building little moments of intimacy and emotional connection daily. They don't constantly evaluate their partnership to see if "the spark" is still there (and you shouldn't either). Want to start connecting in a healthy way and build lasting love?
