Speaker 2: It's been great? Thank you. I am all in on

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: the Sex census. That's all I've been talking and thinking about.

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: The listeners are probably like, please God, don't bring it

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: up again, but that's what I've been doing.

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Listeners, thank you for listening because we appreciate enjoying that content.

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: It's great.

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, how are you You were down again?

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: I was. I had another bout of tonsilidis.

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: Down bad with tonslidis. I know.

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 1: Well, if you do listen to this podcast regularly, you'll

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: know that I was in hospit a couple of months

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: ago and then I got hit again, but not as

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: bad as time. So I'm back. I went for a

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: run yesterday. That's my barometer that I'm healthy and well

23
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: because the half marathon's coming up.

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: It is quickly approaching.

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: Yes, anyway, kick us off. What is intriguing you this week?

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: So my pick of the week was what is stimming

27
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: and why is TikTok so obsessed with it? Have you

28
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: heard of stem? No?

29
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: And I didn't read this story great purpose because I

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: want to hear all so I can surprise and delight

31
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: you on air. Perfect.

32
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: So, stimming is short for self stimulatory behavior, and it

33
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: encompasses a wide range of kind of repetitive movements or

34
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 2: behaviors that people do, and it's generally done to try

35
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: and soothe yourself. But they are different from tics because

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: it's not like a compulsive sort of movement. Yes, so

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: it's something that we do on purpose, but it's to

38
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: kind of soothe. It's mostly something that's been associated with

39
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: those who are neuro divergent, particularly people who have autism

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: audo ADHD. But they are a really hot topic at

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: the moment because X but say, everyone actually does stimming behaviors,

42
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: but to varying degrees and for different purposes. It's pretty

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: so it's pretty limited research on it at this stage.

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: But a twenty fifteen study found that the most common

45
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: reasons for stimming are to reduce anxiety, calm down, and

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: reduce over stimulation. So some examples, yep, give us some clapping, tapping, pacing,

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 2: leg jiggling, hair twirling, skin picking, any of these ringbells

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 2: for you.

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Hair twirling perhaps, okay, we hear out nice.

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: And then some less obvious ones would be like rubbing

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: your fingernails, clicking your teeth, repetitive blinking, cracking your knuckles, trap.

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: Do you do any of these?

53
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: I absolutely do? And so reading this story, I was like,

54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: oh my god, I felt very unnotice because I think

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: there are so like I often kind of pick my

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: arm without realizing, and I flicked my hair a lot,

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: and I all, so I'm a jiggler. And so I

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: think the reason that this is kind of resonating for

59
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: people is they're like, so many of these things that

60
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: we do without realizing are actually kind of a calming

61
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 2: and it's something that's like, you know, there's a name

62
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: for it. So most of the videos about it online

63
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: are from content creators who do have autism or ADHD,

64
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: but they've done these movements as well, and also not

65
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: knowing that they're kind of soothing behaviors and they're actually stims.

66
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: So I think it's an interesting addition to this conversation

67
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: online about neurodivergence.

68
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I quite like the language about it. Do you

69
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: stim are you stimmy?

70
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: Swim?

71
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: Everything like it.

72
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: But I think it's Yeah, it's interesting and there's a

73
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: lot we're learning about neurodivergence still talking about it. And

74
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: I think that's the great part of TikTok is how

75
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 2: it gets people talking about these things.

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. And yeah, I agree, And that's one

77
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: thing that I love about social media. On the flip side,

78
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: let me tell you one thing, Oh god, I don't

79
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: like about social media. So this recent TikTok wellness trend

80
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: caught my eye because basically it's just gross. And have

81
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: you heard of this?

82
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: I have not. Well sounds horrible.

83
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Apparently influencers are chugging this drink and claiming it makes

84
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: them feel full of for longer. I've got a flat

85
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: tummy in a few weeks. Oh look, I lost five

86
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: kilos really fast. I hate it, I already. So what

87
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: is it? Well, it's cheer seeds and lemon juice in water,

88
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: and there's some health merit to it. I mean, cheer

89
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: seeds are, of course a great source of fiber helps

90
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: digestion and are good for the hard lemon a good

91
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: source of vitamin seawater obviously hydration important for all of us.

92
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: But when you mix them all together, the appearance and

93
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: consistency of it all looks similar to a glass of

94
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: I saw someone describe it as frog spawn. Perfect. That's great,

95
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: But as I well, we have been talking about wellness

96
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: social media trends on this podcast for a few years now,

97
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: Yes we have. I thought, well, hang on, this recipe

98
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: sounds very familiar to me, so jumped on Google because

99
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: I felt like we talked about it before and long

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: and behold we have. I was doing the rounds two

101
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: years ago, but it was called the internal shower. There

102
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: you go.

103
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: And that is the art of TikTok is the rebranding

104
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: of things that already existed.

105
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: So it made me think that we have reached peak

106
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: TikTok wellness trend madness.

107
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: We have that things are coming round about on the recircuit,

108
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: but in a short space of time. That's crazy.

109
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever gone into the whole

110
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: of hashtag wellness talk.

111
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: I actually haven't. I probably scared of it.

112
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: There is so much bullshit yeah, it's actually disturbing. So

113
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm making a commitment to back off the social media

114
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: wellness trends for a while because we talk about them

115
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: a lot, and I bring them to the table, I know,

116
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: and I'm going to get back onto the science, so

117
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: I know we'll all miss the ridiculousness of these trends.

118
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: But as you all know, science rules.

119
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: I agree, and I do think that some of these

120
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: they you know, really contribute to diet culture. And also

121
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: just like they're not scientifically backed at all, and they're

122
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: damaging exactly and would be gone.

123
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: I have to say one more thing about whole week,

124
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: Just one more thing about a wellness trend. When you

125
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: put cheer seeds in water, they expand and they kind

126
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: of gel together. Now they if eaten dry, so if

127
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: you don't put them in water, So be where any

128
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: more cheer seeds trends on TikTok. They can actually expand

129
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: in the esophagus and cause a block each so you

130
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: can actually die from eating dry cheer seeds.

131
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: Okay, people, do we really want the newspaper to read

132
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: death by tydepole water? I think no, no, no, or

133
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: death by cheer seed, death by cheer seed is not

134
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: the way to go people anyway.

135
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: That's my vow to you all. No more wellness trends

136
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: for the while.

137
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll take off from that most click story of

138
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: the week, far away most clicked story. As we said,

139
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: the people cannot get enough of the sex content, and

140
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: so the top story was these are Australia's top sex fantasis. Yes, okay,

141
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: so I'll give you the top three threesome, which is

142
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: twenty five sex in a car, like what I know

143
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: to sex in a car twenty four percent. If you're

144
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: doing this, please proceed with caution because indecent exposure is

145
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: a thing and like how uncomfortable I know, dear stick anyone?

146
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: And then number three was sex with a stranger percent interesting.

147
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: You can find out more about the fantasies and how

148
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: to achieve them if you are interested in that over

149
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: at body insol dot com dot you slash sex sensis.

150
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: Have you thanks that little plug, You're welcome. Have we

151
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: got a story about how to have sex in a car?

152
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I have how to go. I'm interested

153
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: in you car, but we've certainly got some info about it.

154
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: My personal recommendation would be do it away. From people

155
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: if you're having sex in a car, and I.

156
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: Mean, this is probably too much information, but my husband's

157
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: likes nearly six foot five and gonna.
