Dr Tara's ground-breaking work focuses on breaking down sexual shame, empowering people to embrace pleasure and giving us the tools to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Dr Tara get into everything from first-date sex and hook-up culture to the myths that hold us back in the bedroom.

They talk about masturbation, mindful intimacy, sexual compatibility and the rise of ethical non-monogamy. Dr Tara also shares how technology is reshaping modern intimacy — from dating apps to AI partners — and why education is the ultimate cure for sexual shame.
