In this episode of Getting Open, Andrea Miller sits down with Dr. Justin Garcia, evolutionary biologist and Director of the Kinsey Institute, to unpack the science behind modern love, sex, and relationships. Dr. Garcia breaks down monogamy versus fidelity, why infidelity hurts more as a trust violation than a sexual act, and how dating apps, social media, and AI are reshaping desire and intimacy. This conversation explores hookup culture, long-term attraction, cheating myths, and what research actually says about building connection in today’s world.
