She discusses the perception and stigma surrounding the industry and the reality of porn versus real-life sex plus pros and cons of incorporating it into a relationship. Candice and Rory discuss the concept of anti-fragile relationships and how being in the porn industry has impacted Candice's marriage. They share advice on approaching difficult conversations in relationships and creating a safe space for communication. Takeaways Pornography should not be seen as a reflection of real-life sex. The perception of cheating in relation to porn is often based on societal biases and double standards. The porn industry can amplify insecurities and trigger negative reactions in individuals who are not comfortable with their own sexuality. Anti-fragile relationships are built on open communication, honesty, and the ability to navigate challenges together. Approaching difficult conversations in relationships requires creating a safe space, being patient, and allowing each partner to express themselves fully. Relationships go through ups and downs, and it's important to recognize and navigate these changes together. The S*xual Buffet exercise can bring playfulness and creativity into a relationship by exploring new sexual experiences and desires.
