Her best friend died of cancer. What we can all learn from the 2 women at the heart of 'Dying for Sex.'
For over 20 years, best friends Nikki Boyer and Molly Kochan shared everything with one another. When Kochan was first diagnosed with breast cancer in her early 30s, Boyer was one of the few people she spoke frankly about her illness with. But when her cancer returned and became terminal, Kochan really started to open up. She went through a personal sexual revolution, which became the subject of her and Boyer’s podcast Dying for Sex. When Kochan died in 2019 at age 45, Boyer was by her side.

Now, six years after Kochan’s death, the friends’ story is getting new life and an even bigger audience in the Hulu series Dying for Sex, which debuts Friday. For Boyer, their podcast — which was released by Wondery in 2020 — and now the show have kept her friendship with Kochan present. “The weird thing is, I don’t think I’ve actually felt the loss because I’ve been living with her and with her voice for so many years,” Boyer tells Yahoo Life. “I have a feeling that when this show is released into the world, it will be a final letting go of her and I’m preparing for that. But she’s just so in me, and so a part of me, that maybe I’ll always feel this way about her.”

Along with Kochan’s voice, Boyer carries with her lessons on the value of a true best friendship and holding one another close — even in the hardest moments. She shared what she’s learned with Yahoo Life.
