Episode 266: Negging, the episode

This week on The Sex Wrap, we’re unpacking negging, the backhanded compliment that’s supposed to spark attraction but often just seeds insecurity. Is it playful teasing, pickup-artist residue, or straight-up emotional manipulation? We break down where it came from, why it “works,” how it shows up in modern dating (across genders and sexualities), and what to say when someone tries it on you. If you’ve ever left a flirtation feeling slightly smaller instead of turned on, this episode is for you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
