I love watching TED Talks. I always learn interesting and innovative things. In the summer of 2017, I decided to start a spreadsheet about all the ted talk I watch. For all summer, I watched every morning 2 Ted talks.
Here I share my list of favorite TED Talks covering relationships and sexuality. For each of the videos, you will also find a quote that I find important or intriguing.
