Dr. Treena Orchard: Sexual Health and Well-Being in Dating Apps | Reloscope #67

In a world where simple swiping and matching have become the norm, the dynamics of sexual health and wellbeing have taken on new dimensions, rendering it all the more vital to discuss. So, this week on Reloscope: The Relationship Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella sits down with medical anthropologist Treena Orchard to deconstruct the nuances of consent, boundaries, and sexual empowerment.
Fascinated by digital technology and relationships of all kinds, Dr. Treena Orchard has penned her years of dating app experiences into her book ‘Sticky, Sexy, Sad’, which explains how these platforms are impacting sex, romance, and communication in the modern day, combined with her insights as an anthropologist. But that aside, she serves as associate professor at Western University’s School of Health Studies. 
In this episode, Dr. Treena Orchard shares her puzzlement at how difficult it was to get past the ‘texting phase’, recounting that most dating app exchanges go no further than through the phone. But beyond that, Dr. Treena Orchard expresses that most dating apps should do a better job of promoting sexual health awareness, suggesting campaigns where compelling information is integrated into the sign-up process, or even in their marketing collateral.
Together, Dr. Treena Orchard and Marie discuss the future of sexual health and well-being, from technological advancements, to more holistic sex education in schools. So, tune in for a cathartic conversation filled with nuggets of personal anecdotes, sexual health wisdom, and more.
