Hypergamy - the action of marrying or forming a sexual relationship with a person of a superior sociological or educational background - is popping up more and more recently. Coaches are creating Instagram and Tik Tok accounts to teach hundreds of thousands of people (mostly straight women) how to successfully date upwards and to date upwards and attract 'Alpha Males' & 'High Value Men'.
Diggory and accredited sex therapist Cate Campbell discuss this phenomenon and ask
- Has it been around for longer than we think?
- Why do people (particularly young straight women) want to date 'upward'?
- What does coaching someone to date upwards look like?
- Is it ethical to couple up with someone for money and status rather than genuine connection?
- How long will this last for?
Diggory also puts your sex questions and conundrums to Cate which in this episode revolve whether to have a baby in a sexless marriage and why one woman's boyfriend always apologises after sex...
If you have any questions for our accredited therapist Cate who will answer them on the pod! You can email them to podcasts@hattrick.com or by DMing us on Instagram - @realsexedpod
