To come or not to come

Does the pressure to orgasm take the fun out of sex? Former Yukoner Patricia Bacon, PhD in human sexuality, says we've lost our way in the bedroom. But, there's hope: she introduces us to a new formula for increasing pleasure between the sheets and puts Karen and Mark in the hot seat for some candid questioning.   

An ode to looong distance dating

In a place where driving seven hours for a date is not unheard of, Karen and Mark chat to a longtime Yukoner about the merits of long-distance relationships. How far is too far to go for love? Dana shares her experience being in an "LDR" and waxes poetic about the potential woes of "close-distance relationships." 

Whereby Mark gets waxed

For better or worse, hair removal and dating are intrinsically linked. Karen and Mark share crowd-sourced thoughts about this and hit the spa: Karen to revisit an experience from almost 20 years ago, and Mark to get all the hair removed from his "intimate" zone in the name of gender equality and curiosity.

Living it up after divorce

The year after Julie got divorced was a time of reflection and self discovery. Then, she got her dating game on. The "divorce mentor" shares what she is learning along the way. 

A Grand (Canyon) love story

Season three kicks off with a story about a Yukoner seeking adventure outside the territory and finding unexpected romance. Falling for someone on a raft trip on the Colorado River is pretty darn magical aside from, you know, three weeks without a shower or clean laundry.  And then there's the whole one-person tent thing....

Not a sex shop

If you think adult stores are intimidating, listen in. Karen and Mark toured their neighbourhood shop, seeking higher knowledge about the pursuit of pleasure and asking all the awkward questions. Their guide at Adult Temptations introduces them to all sorts of devices and products ranging from novice to advanced. (Newbies, the "Humbler" isn't for you.)  

Sexual assault: A silent issue

Whether you're aware of it or not, you probably know someone who's a victim of sexual assault. Yet, it's an issue that's rarely talked about. This is one woman's story about the impact of sexual assault on her life and why it's time to have conversations about consent.

P is for pleasure, the missing ingredient in sex education

In high school, Angus and his peers were taught ad nauseum about how to use a condom. But what about how to actually have sex? Not so much. The 21-year-old says having sex for the first time was like trying to play a video game without the instruction manual.  

Comedic catharsis

Emilie Lefrancois was running out of things to talk to her therapist about, so she's decided to test out the Whitehorse dating scene. If nothing else, it will add to her repertoire of stories from Goose Bay, NL., and Toronto, centre of the universe, where she learned, among other things: don't date a comedian! 

Tinder for the woodpile

A cabin in the woods can be romantic as hell. But when it's -30C and the wood pile is staring you down, there's work to be done. For KB, chores come before love, although she does pretty well in the latter department too. KB shares tips about cabin dating and how the great outdoors can be a bedroom unto itself....
