T&A (Christina Hepburn & Stephanie Allen), two treasure troves of sensuality and intimate connection, were baffled by how many of their lovers and clients marveled at their sensual capacities, yet fumbled when it came to their own. In service to humanity (and themselves!), T&A share the wisdom from their real life experience with what works and what doesn’t work to create deep, human connection and juicy sex. From frisky sexual encounters to contemplating marriage, these women’s anthropological approach to their love lives can’t help but give you insight into your own. Gentlemen, thrill at the brilliance of a thoughtful female look into what women want and need, and ladies, find the empowerment in relationships and sex you’ve always wanted. Find us on IG @TAtalksex
