Just AskING
Why do we have such a difficult time managing our sexuality? We talk about managing our money, our careers, our diets, yet we don't talk about managing our sexuality. And we certainly don't talk about doing it intelligently. Join Steven Ing, MFT, and Jackie as they discuss all things sexual, and how learning to manage your sexuality can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Great Sexpectations: Pros and Cons of the New Monogamy
The age-old concept of “friends with benefits” is now sometimes called “the new monogamy,” but the idea is the same: find someone you like, but not “in that way" and agree to a casual sexual relationship. Sounds simple, but it can be fraught with potential problems, most likely that the two people involved are not on the same page. In this week’s podcast, we discuss the pros and cons of casual sex and how to avoid hurting one another in our quest for no-strings relationships.
For over 30 years, Steven Ing, MFT, has been a Marriage and Family Therapist with a specialty in forensic work. He is a contributing writer to Psychology Today and the author of two books on sexuality: We're All Like This and Get Busy Living. He is the creator and host of the true crime podcast Sex Crime Central and co-host on the podcast Managing Love Intelligently. In 2022, he was the victim of an attempted murder and survived multiple stabbings. And good thing: in 2023 his feminist science fiction novel Polliwog was published and he was appointed a community faculty member for the UNR School of Medicine. He lives in Reno, Nevada, with his wife, Sharon, on the edge of the Toiyabe National Forest.
