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.... 

Before you ask, it was a shark

When Tara Klippert was growing up, her friends worried about typical teenage things, like how their clothes and makeup looked. Tara, meanwhile, had other worries, like trying to hide her disability. As an adult, she gained new perspectives about her identity and dating. 

The hunt for moose and man

Pavlina Sudrich TikToks about all things hunting and outdoors, but also finds herself doing the not-so-fun stuff like cleaning gutters and shovelling snow. She thinks a husband would be useful for those chores.

In pursuit of a ”healthy” breakup

There's no way around it: breakups suck. But Karen, reeling from heartbreak, wants to find out if there's a healthy way to process the hurt and move on. Of course, Mark has plenty of past relationship experiences to draw from, including a revenge scene straight out of a movie.  

Houseboats and Irish exits

Leaving a party surreptitiously is pretty tricky when that party is at a house surrounded by water. And, speaking of houses, they’re uber expensive in the North, especially as a single person. That’s what’s prompting Sarah Frey, who has lived in both Whitehorse and Yellowknife, to pack her furs and move south. 

Don’t bust the (piggy) bank and other dating advice

Frisky is back for a second season! Karen McColl introduces new co-host Mark Kelly and they discuss the dating advice Mark has given Karen over the course of their friendship. Most of it involves using words.
