Sex 101, in its second season, features Influencer Culture and the Death of Real Love: Lessons from the Stefanie Pieper Tragedy, a reflective and culturally grounded episode examining how social media performance can distort intimacy, commitment, and emotional truth. Using the public case of Stefanie Pieper as a careful point of reflection, the discussion explores how validation economies, constant comparison, and curated personas can erode trust and private connection. This episode reframes real love as something built away from algorithms—rooted in boundaries, accountability, emotional presence, and the quiet discipline of choosing one another beyond visibility and approval.
