“Killer Orgasms.” I didn’t know it at the time, but that book would change my life… and lead me to create Should You Date Nate. Over a decade ago, I was sitting in my college dorm room, reading through emails. I certainly wasn’t out partying, even though it was probably a Friday night. After all, …
