      LinkedIn is a valuable resource for businesses looking to hire professionals, as over 70% of its users don't visit other leading job sites. This means that great candidates, like Sandra who was mentioned in the podcast, can be found on LinkedIn who might not be actively looking for a new job but could be open to the perfect role.

Lastly, the podcast "Brown Girls Do It Too" discussed the importance of self-care and enjoying simple pleasures like milkshakes or takeout, even as a busy parent.

    • The importance of enjoying the journey towards intimacyValuing foreplay, disliking teasing, balancing parenting and intimacy, and appreciating non-sexual connections during a night out.

      The speaker values the build-up and anticipation of intimacy, or "everything but," just as much as the actual act itself. They express a strong dislike for being teased and denied, and a preference for indulging in foreplay and teasing behaviors themselves. The speaker also mentions the challenges of balancing parenting responsibilities with the desire for intimacy, and expresses a deep appreciation for the various forms of non-sexual connection and excitement that can occur during a night out. Overall, the speaker's perspective emphasizes the importance of enjoying the journey towards intimacy, rather than solely focusing on the destination.

    • Anticipation and delay can enhance experiencesBuilding anticipation and experiencing delay can make experiences, including sexual ones, more enjoyable when they finally happen, like a milkshake. However, this approach might not always be feasible or desirable in all situations.

      Anticipation and delay can enhance experiences, including sexual ones. The speaker uses the analogy of a milkshake to explain this concept, suggesting that the buildup and anticipation make the experience more enjoyable when it finally happens. The speaker also mentions that they currently prioritize this approach in cooking, but it can also apply to other areas of life. However, the speaker acknowledges that this might not always be feasible or desirable in all situations, especially in romantic contexts where both parties are interested but not yet ready to act on their feelings.

    • Exploring Different Forms of IntimacyPeople have unique desires and boundaries when it comes to intimacy. Communication and respect are key to ensuring both parties feel fulfilled.

      People have different preferences when it comes to intimacy and sexual experiences. Some value the slow build-up of chemistry and desire, while others prioritize the instant gratification of sexual intercourse. The speaker in this conversation expresses a desire for both, but acknowledges that they can't always wait for the full experience. They enjoy activities like dry humping and eye-fucking that can be arousing and satisfying in their own right, even if they don't lead to orgasm. Ultimately, everyone has unique desires and boundaries when it comes to intimacy, and it's important to communicate openly and respectfully with partners to ensure that both parties feel fulfilled and valued.

    • The importance of foreplay and sexual performanceForeplay and sexual performance contribute to a satisfying sexual experience, with some individuals requiring physical penetration to achieve orgasm.

      The anticipation and build-up to sex, often referred to as foreplay, can be just as important and satisfying as the act itself. However, some individuals, particularly women, may require physical penetration during sex to achieve orgasm. The dynamics of sexual experiences can vary greatly, with some people being exceptional at foreplay but lacking in sexual performance, while others may have average foreplay but excel in the act itself. Ultimately, the combination of both the tantalizing foreplay and the fulfilling sexual act contributes to a holistic and satisfying sexual experience.

    • Exploring Different Preferences in Sexual IntimacyCommunication and understanding different preferences are key to ensuring mutual satisfaction in sexual intimacy. Some people value the build-up and connection through conversation and touch, while others crave physical connection and intensity. It's essential to respect each other's boundaries and be open to exploring different experiences.

      People have different preferences and experiences when it comes to sexual intimacy. Some crave physical connection and intensity, while others appreciate the build-up and connection through conversation and touch. The speaker shares her personal experiences of enjoying both the preamble and the physical act, but often finding herself in situations where one is lacking. She also discusses the concept of "everything but," where people engage in sexual activities that stop short of intercourse for various reasons. Ultimately, everyone's sexual journey is unique, and it's essential to communicate openly and honestly with partners to ensure mutual satisfaction.

    • Open communication about sexual preferencesDiscussing sexual desires and knowing each other's bodies and rhythms is crucial for a satisfying sexual relationship. Incorporating preferences into dating profiles and fantasizing about unattainable partners can help facilitate open communication.

      Open communication about sexual preferences and desires is crucial for a satisfying sexual relationship. The speaker emphasizes the importance of knowing each other's bodies and rhythms, comparing it to a dance. However, she acknowledges that discussing such topics can be challenging. The speaker suggests incorporating sexual preferences into dating profiles, similar to how Feel does, to facilitate open communication. She also shares an example of a frustrating experience where she wanted to take things further but was held back, which she compares to romantic scenarios from movies. The speaker expresses that being driven a little insane by desire can be exciting and recommends fantasizing about unattainable partners to fuel imagination. She also mentions that some dates can feel tedious when both parties are aware of each other's intentions but cannot act on them. Overall, the speaker emphasizes the importance of open communication and the role it plays in enhancing sexual experiences.

    • The power of non-verbal communication and body language in attraction and sexEffective non-verbal communication and body language can enhance the sexual experience, even for those lacking in penetrative skills. Poor body language can be a turnoff. Reading and responding to non-verbal cues can lead to orgasms through kissing and improve overall sexual relationships.

      Non-verbal communication and body language play a significant role in attraction and sex. The "everything but" guy, who may lack in penetrative sex skills, can still make up for it with good non-verbal communication and body language. On the other hand, poor body language can be a turnoff. The ability to read and respond to non-verbal cues can enhance the sexual experience. As one speaker mentioned, Seema Anand once suggested that it's possible to orgasm from just kissing, and some partners may excel in this area. Overall, the importance of non-verbal communication and body language in sexual relationships cannot be overstated.

    • The Importance of Edging and Foreplay in Sexual RelationshipsEdging and foreplay are crucial for building a satisfying sexual connection in long-term partnerships. Take time for sensual touch and intimacy, even during daily activities, to keep the spark alive.

      Edging and foreplay are essential components of a healthy and satisfying sexual relationship, especially in long-term partnerships. The speaker emphasizes the importance of not rushing through sex and instead taking the time to build up to the penetrative act through various forms of touch and sensual interaction. She also suggests that these moments of intimacy can be incorporated into daily life, even during mundane activities. The speaker believes that regular physical affection and groping are essential for maintaining a strong connection in a relationship. Overall, the conversation highlights the significance of prioritizing and investing time and effort into sexual intimacy to keep the spark alive.

    • Exploring different age groups in relationships brings unique experiencesExperiment with partners of different ages, communicate needs, use lubrication and Viagra, and prioritize time and effort for a fulfilling sexual relationship.

      Exploring different age groups in sexual relationships can bring unique experiences and desires. Rubina suggests a mix of young and older partners, suggesting specific days for each based on their needs. The conversation also touches upon the use of lubrication and Viagra, and the importance of variety in sexual experiences. Poppy expresses her admiration for Rubina's openness to different types of sex and the need for a partner who is willing to invest time and effort into their relationship. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of experimentation, communication, and understanding the needs of partners to enhance sexual experiences.

    • Exploring Intimacy and Comforts on Sober DatesEmbrace self-exploration and self-acceptance, trust instincts, communicate openly, and be cautious of potential risks in personal relationships.

      While going on a sober date can be a great experience, sometimes people may feel the need for certain comforts or rituals before engaging in intimate experiences. However, it's important to remember that everyone's preferences and comfort levels are different, and what works for one person may not work for another. Additionally, the speaker encourages listeners to trust their instincts when meeting people online and be cautious of potential scams. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of open communication and honesty in relationships. The speaker's candid and humorous discussion about intimacy and dating highlights the importance of self-exploration and self-acceptance in personal relationships. Overall, the podcast encourages listeners to embrace their experiences and learn from them, while also reminding them to stay safe and be mindful of potential risks in the digital age.

    Numbers of 2021

    A guide to the most concerning, striking and downright extraordinary numbers of 2021. Tim Harford asks three More or Less interviewees about their most significant and memorable figure over the past year. From the excess death toll of Covid-19; to declining total fertility rates, and a spike in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, we showcase the numbers that tell us something about the year gone by. During this programme, we speak to Hannah Ritchie, head of research at Our World in Data and senior researcher at the University of Oxford; Marina Adshade, Economics Professor at the University of British Columbia; and Heleen De Coninck, professor at Eindhoven University of Technology, and a lead author on several reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
