About this listen

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.

  • What It’s Actually Like to Give Up Sex for a Year (with Melissa Febos)

    What It’s Actually Like to Give Up Sex for a Year (with Melissa Febos)
    Jul 2 2025

    If there was a class on how to go Boysober, Melissa Febos’ book The Dry Season would be at the top of the syllabus. Melissa’s new memoir recounts time when she did what Hope could not — give up dating, romance, and sex for an entire year. Hope talks to Melissa to better understand how she achieved this and how it rewired her brain to not be guided by the patterns of old relationships.
