Dr. Rob and Dr. Erika Schwartz continue their discussion about the connection between intimacy and sex.

[4:25] Who were you before you came into this relationship?

[9:08] The role of hormones in sex addiction and betrayal.
[11:10] What does monogamy look like in humans?

[19:15] What you don’t know won’t hurt you, or will it?
