#78 - Rosie Wilby - Sex, Break Ups & Is Monogamy Dead?

Rosie Wilby is an award-winning comedian, author, Ted X speaker and podcaster who has appeared many times on BBC Radio 4 programmes including Woman's Hour and Four Thought. 

Her first book 'Is Monogamy Dead?' was longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize and followed a trilogy of solo shows investigating the psychology of love and relationships. 

And this episode was raw. 

We were fortunate to speak with Rosie as she has recently just launched her brand new book, 'The Breakup Monologues', which is based on her acclaimed podcast of the same name. 

In 2011, Rosie was broken up with via email and has been obsessing about break ups ever since. She embarked on a quest to investigate, understand and conquer the psychology of heartbreak...but in a humorous way. 

We talked all things break ups and Rosie shared some really insightful answers that could help anyone who might be going through a break up or is struggling to get over the heart ache of one. 

We spoke about the topic of Monogamy. And if it is dead. Rosie's Ted x talk, 'Is Monogamy Dead?' has now been viewed over 56K times on YouTube. So we knew we'd get a fascinating answer. 

It was really interesting picking her brain on the topic of sex and finding out how important sex really is in a relationship. Rosie shared some results she collected from a survey about what is and isn't classified as cheating. The answers may be surprising to some people. 

You won’t want to miss a minute, so crank up the volume and tune into this incredible conversation with Rosie Wilby.
