Dating doesn’t have to suck!

Practicing the 5% pleasure rule (asking myself in every moment: how can I add 5% more pleasure to this?) changed everything for me:

• I stayed confident even when I was being rejected

• I made dating apps fun for me so I didn’t give up on finding love..

• Pleasure kept me in the game for long enough to meet my life partner (fucking worth it!)

You deserve a dreamy AF partner who will love you & hold you & walk through this wild journey of life with you

No more feeling like your love life is doomed every time it doesn’t work out with someone you’re into

No more checking your phone every 5 seconds to see if they’ve texted back

You can design your dating life around your pleasure

The 30-Day Pleasure Reset is where you’ll do that
