As the Deputy Editor for 21Ninety, part of my job is staying informed about what stories our readers connect with most. These are the stories that keep people coming back. Stories like “Sex Demons and Masturbation,” “Do You Submit to Your Partner,” and “How Changing Dating Trends Effect Black Women.” The popularity of stories like these prove, our audience doesn’t shy away from their desires regarding intimacy, relationships and love. That’s why we wanted to explore these topics in more depth with our Coupled Up series.
In our exploration of unique forms of intimacy one, one of our writer’s asks the question: what are platonic romances? On the topic of complex relationships you’ll hear from a couple that has found a way to make their love work while one of them is behind bars. And as we contemplate marriage, we’ll share how couples are navigating the so-called “7 year itch” and coming out on the other side all the better.
It won’t just be on our website where you’ll find this romantic exploration. Our social media team will also deliver Coupled Up content to inspire. Make sure to join us on Instagram and TikTok to follow along on the fun.
