This week, the After show gets brutally honest about sex, commitment, and why 60% of divorces are filed by women.

The debate ignites with Colm’s controversial "Mick Jagger Theory"—his opinion that older men seek younger partners because women's sex drive diminishes with age. This theory is immediately challenged by Rebecca, who argues that a lack of intimacy is actually due to poor communication and men failing to put in the emotional work.

Justin delivers the key relationship advice: He explains that a great sex life requires a "lead up" that starts in the morning—not just "a raging boner" at night.

In this episode, we tackle the biggest relationship challenges:

The Divorce Truth: We break down the 60% divorce statistic and discuss the gendered differences in how men and women view the benefits (and costs) of marriage.

Is Marriage a Prison? We discuss why so many young people view monogamy as "gross" and why it's better to get out of a bad relationship than be "trapped consistently failing forever".

Too Much Choice: Terry argues that social media and dating apps are confusing people and destroying the ability to commit.

Grindr Revelation: Colm’s slightly panicked but hilarious explanation of how the Grindr app works.

If you're dealing with relationship stress, a boring sex life, or just questioning long-term commitment, this is essential listening.
