You can go to your friends and family all you want for relationship advice, but sometimes what we really need is a third-party voice. It could be someone who doesn’t know you, your partner or your situation personally, but someone who has been in a similar situation before.
And that is where we turn to TV shows, movies, and books. Characters in fictional shows can almost be more relatable than the people in our own lives. And with podcasts gaining popularity, they too have become a way to get that outside love advice.
But sometimes we need help from beyond a friend or a stranger. We need information from someone who definitely knows what they’re talking about- and in come TED Talks. If your thoughts about romance, relationships, and sex go beyond just casual advice, considering checking out one of these TED Talks:
