Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now? The New Dating Shift

Send a text

Why are boyfriends suddenly embarrassing? A recent piece by Vogue titled “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?” sparked a global reaction, pointing out that some women are now hesitant to post their partners, claim relationships publicly, or even say “boyfriend” without flinching. 

In this episode, I chat with sex + relationship coach Sienna Sinclair about what’s really behind this trend. 

We explore:

• Why boyfriends may feel like a “brand risk” now
• The emotional labour and identity loss behind the trend
• What it says about visibility, desire & modern relationship expectations
• How to know if your hesitation is a red flag — or a signal for change
• And how real baddies post about their men

If you’ve ever thought “Why do I feel weird saying ‘boyfriend’ out loud?”, or you're a guy wondering why you haven't made her Gram — this episode is your answer.
