No one 3 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: is allowed to buy that hat. What porn category or 4 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: specific video erotica made you realize that you were queer? Well? 5 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: I actually was reminded about this this morning because, um, 6 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: I was on Twitter and Holly Berry quote tweeted something 7 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: about the Flynn Stones, and I was remembering that her 8 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: and Kyle McLaughlin in that movie were one of my 9 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: sexual awakenings. Um, but that that feels that feels a 10 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: little close to like talking about, you know, like a 11 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: formative piece of media as we would in a normal episode. 12 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: But I did think they were really sexy. My Internet 13 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: had like parental controls on it, so I actually couldn't 14 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: access porn from my home computer because it would like 15 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: send a little like Larry, Larry, you can't go here whatever. 16 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: But I was able to like, you know, search on 17 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: YouTube like boys Kissing, which would lead me to basically 18 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: clips of porn without the porn in it, like what 19 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: everything that happens before after? That's my favorite part. I 20 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: can't watch porn unless it has a storyline. Do you 21 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: watch a lot of porn. No, no, not really. I 22 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: watch a lot of Only Fans. I think that, honestly, 23 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: that's something that I'm discovering about. Like what turns me 24 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: on is like a live component or like an intimate 25 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: component of like me feeling like I know where I 26 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: am invested in, like the porn actor in some way. 27 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: And Only Fans makes like performers a lot more human 28 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: and a lot more accessible, and you get to see 29 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: more of their every day, and so that I think 30 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: brings me closer to something that is like a turn on. 31 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if that even makes sense, but like 32 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: I also like I am very this is like maybe 33 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: t M I, but like I love like comboys because 34 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: it's like a live thing, you know, and like, so 35 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: that's so interesting. Isn't that weird? But I think it. 36 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: I think it makes sense for you, um like that 37 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: you need some kind of personal investment to get off. 38 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: I think that there's like a there's an intimacy in that, 39 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: and like sometimes you know when you like send tips 40 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: or whatever and they say your name or they say 41 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: whatever your screen name is, and I'm like, like that 42 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: is like what I like. I like that, like the 43 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: intimacy do you also look for intimacy in your personal 44 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: sex life, like do you need do you need like 45 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: some kind of connection with the people you're hooking up with, 46 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: or like can you do really casual sex? I I 47 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: definitely in the last year have tried to do more 48 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: like a non hookups, like people that I see once 49 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: or twice and then I never see again. It's never 50 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: as satisfying as when I'm you know, I've at least 51 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: been chatting with that person for a little bit, you know. 52 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: I think I definitely do look for I don't even 53 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: know if intimacy is the right word, but it because 54 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: that word can be very loaded in the romantic terrain, 55 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: but it really is intimacy or maybe safety, I think. 56 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: But I think you can have intimacy with someone who 57 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: you only have sex with once, like you can have 58 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: really intimate sex with a complete stranger. In fact, that 59 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: is like my favorite kind of interaction is something that 60 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: feels really intimate but actually has no commitment element to it, 61 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: Like it doesn't like it could I can maybe never 62 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: see this person again, but I get the intimacy still, 63 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: which that's kind of why I love like for play, 64 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: and I love that that kind of build up. What 65 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: about you liked, I d you need intimacy to have sex, 66 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: I say that kind of physics. I I certainly don't UM, 67 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: and I certainly do not, and I actually kind of 68 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: prefer casual encounters UM to use the language of Craigslist. 69 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: And I almost have recently started to wonder if I 70 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: might fall somewhere and like the demi romantic spectrum. But 71 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: I also don't know if that's like more of a 72 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: byproduct of circumstance rather than something that actually is like 73 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: deeply true about me. But you know, like the obviously 74 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, I'm coming at this through the lens of 75 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: of my life pre pandemic, and I feel like I 76 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: can't use that excuse forever, Like my sexuality can't always 77 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: have an asterisk on it, because like we are at 78 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: least somewhat back to you know, quote unquote normal in 79 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: the ways in which we we can have sex. But 80 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: I still think about my sexuality in terms of like 81 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: my old life, which was like pre pandemic, before I 82 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: lived in Los Angeles, when I mostly my most fulfilling 83 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: sexual encounters were like I was traveling so much, and 84 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: like I loved um, you know, having a having a 85 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: support in every store I'm having, you know, like like 86 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: finding new lovers in every city. You know, I would, 87 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: I would be traveling and I would hook up with 88 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: a new person every night, and like that was so 89 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: fulfilling to me, just the constant newness because I am 90 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: definitely a person who it is really hard for me 91 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: to be seen intimately in a in a deep way. 92 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: I don't mean just like the pure like aesthetics of it. 93 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: I think it does become difficult for me to let 94 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: my guard down with people I'm having sex with, and 95 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: I know that that can be super fulfilling. Like actually, 96 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: the last lover I had, um lover, that word, not lover. 97 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: The last person I've had sex with was someone who 98 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: really challenged that for me, and it led to a 99 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: really amazing sexual encounter, someone who kind of wouldn't let 100 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: me have the wall up and engage with them in 101 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: a different way. But yeah, so, so I don't know 102 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: if that's just like, um, this thing that I've done 103 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: to guard myself. I don't know if that actually works 104 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: for me anymore. It certainly was at one point in time. Yeah, 105 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: I think I think something of the same thing, but 106 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 1: in the reverse. It's like I think that I actually 107 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: required safety in my interactions with people to my detriment 108 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: and actually did not have as much sex as I 109 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: could have had in my early twenties because I was 110 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: just too scared of being hurt, or too scared of 111 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: random encounters or like seeing someone for only one night. 112 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: But like you actually kind of answered a question that 113 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: I was going to ask, which is like defense mechanisms 114 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: come up in everyone's bedrooms, you know what I mean, 115 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: And so it makes sense that, you know, the way 116 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: that we sleep with people is a byproduct of like 117 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: how we come up in the world. And I think that, 118 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: like everyone everyone, everyone should like challenge their desires and 119 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: they're like needs, they're kind of what they think their 120 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: needs are in the bedroom because a lot of times 121 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: we tell ourselves and I'm honestly just talking to myself 122 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: at this point because I've like thought about this so much, 123 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: but I feel like I tell myself a narrative about 124 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: me and what I like and what I don't like, 125 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: and yeah, I do too, and it's it's it's an 126 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: extension of what we were talking about last week when 127 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: when I talked about how you know, I like to 128 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: present as more aloof than I actually am, you know, publicly, 129 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: and I do definitely that definitely extends to my private 130 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: life too. I am very guarded. I'm a cancer. You know, 131 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: I'm an extremely like moody, emotional person. But I do 132 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: have a very hard shell, um and very soft meat 133 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: fighting shell. Crap, mom, yes, um I this I you know, 134 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: We're in a serious part of the converst So I'm 135 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: going to move us along to the stupid part, which 136 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: is that, like, um something else, like in terms of 137 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: the narratives that we tell ourselves about sex, I am 138 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: in my top era and right now, and I never 139 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: saw that for myself because I love that for you. 140 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: Oh my god, what is Phoebe? Phoebe sends a hearty Phoebe. 141 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: Are you also in your top era? We're all in 142 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: our top eras well. I'm in my ace era. Actually, 143 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: oh I love an ace era too. But like my 144 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: point is, like I have kind of even though I 145 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: was a top for my first relationship, which was a 146 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: year and a half long relationship, I basically rescinded to 147 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: like being a bottom for like a decade. Um, not 148 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: exclusively a bottom like I topped here and there, but 149 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: like I told myself, like, my preference is bottoming, and 150 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: this is what I enjoy, and this is just what easy, 151 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: what's easiest. But like, honestly, I was just picking the 152 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: thing that made me the least anxious, and that's not 153 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: a good enough reason to like pick a sexual preference. 154 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: Like I would much rather challenge myself. So I think 155 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: that's so cool, especially considering that you are also I 156 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: think the most fem you have ever been. I love 157 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: I love that that like is directly correlating to you 158 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: entering like a more I mean maybe like dominant or 159 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: aggressive like part of your sexuality. Um. I love that 160 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: you're a blouse. I love that I'm a blouse. Yes, 161 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: I'm actually a blouse and um, I yeah, I mean 162 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: it was maybe a byproduct of like dating someone who 163 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: was maybe more of a bottom. But like when I 164 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: did top, I was like awoken and I was like, 165 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: I had no idea that I had all of this 166 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: energy and me it had been a few years since 167 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: I had topped, and I was like, I love this. 168 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: What have I been borrowing? What have I been borrowing 169 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: myself from? You know? Um, but that I think I 170 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: actually feel like I know a lot of people. I'm 171 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: wondering if you know people who you know were tops 172 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: there for like years and years and then one day 173 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: they were like, oh my god, I'm a bottom and 174 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 1: I had no idea, Like I I was kind of 175 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: I was kind of the opposite. I was like a 176 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: bottom for so long and discovered really actually I became 177 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: a top post transition really, but I actually am kind 178 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: of true verse. I can really go either way. Really 179 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: depends on the person. I do love topping though it's 180 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: so fun, and I also think it is as someone 181 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: who is very verse and has had bottom eras top eras. 182 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: I do think that there is a certain amount of 183 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: hiding you can do as a bottom. I have definitely 184 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: had times where I've been a bottom where I felt 185 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: like sex was something that happened to me rather than 186 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: something I was like a really active participant in um. 187 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: And I do find that when I am topping, like 188 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm much more engaged and unless able to to be guarded, 189 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: which I do think goes against what society tells us, 190 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: which is that, like, you know that the top, the 191 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: like aggressor insex is the more like masculine, dominant like 192 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: guarded one, the one who's like bringing less of their 193 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: emotions and like less vulnerability to sex. Um, why do 194 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: you think that I I have found in my own 195 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: experience it to be like very much the opposite. Like 196 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: I really like when I am the top in a 197 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: sexual scenario, I feel like I'm being much more active 198 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: and like caring for the person that I'm topping, and 199 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: it breaks me out of myself. That makes sense to me. 200 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: I mean when when I am bottoming, I feel like 201 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: I just don't want to do it. I feel like 202 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: a total pillow princess, like I really just want to 203 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: lay there. And so yeah, I mean, obviously these are 204 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: really rudimentary like ideas of of topping and bottoming, like 205 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: you can be a very dominant bottom if you want 206 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: to or whatever. But that was not me. I was 207 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: just like, I'm tired, and you need to make all 208 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: the decisions, please, because it's not really about work, Like 209 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: I'm happy to put in the work, but I don't 210 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: want to make decisions. And that's kind of where I'm 211 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: coming from now. It's like interesting that you brought up 212 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: like me being very fem right now and like me 213 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: landing at where I am with my gender. It's like 214 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: I do really want to be bossed around. And I 215 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: know that's like a really flat way of looking at gender, 216 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: but like sometimes it is really affirming for someone to 217 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: come in and like tell you what to do. Um 218 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: and I I I think a out of the reasons 219 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: that I attract TOPS is because you know, I'm like 220 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: wearing lingerie and like a lot of in like my 221 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: photos or like I just you know, have a fem 222 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: vibe sometimes not all the time, but like depending on 223 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: the photo, and so you know, people want me to 224 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: be their momy, you know what I mean. People get 225 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: really stuck on the trappings and trimmings of things, and 226 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: they make a lot of expectations about what you're into 227 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: based on how you show up in the world. And 228 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's about like mascrofem man 229 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: or woman gender at all. I think it's really interesting 230 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: that people see you in a more feminine presentation and 231 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: expect you to be less assertive or dominant sexually. And 232 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: I just like that you are like finding a version 233 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: of yourself that is going to show up in the 234 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: world in the sissy way that you want to. And 235 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: also like fuck someone, like the ship out of someone. Yeah, 236 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: I think that's really cool. There is a lot of 237 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: code switching that has to happen sometimes for me, Like 238 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: whether I show up in the bedroom as like very 239 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: dummy or like very like pillow princess is usually contingent on, honestly, 240 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: the size of the person, like if I'm gonna if 241 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: I'm like fucking a twink, they want me to be daddy, 242 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, cool, like I'll be dead. I 243 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: mean I'm never I don't really like I'll reject the 244 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: term daddy, but like that's the vibe of what they want, 245 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: and so if they need me to be that, like sure, 246 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: like I will, I will do that. Um. But I 247 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: sometimes feel like it's so weird, but like and I 248 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: wish this wasn't true, but like sometimes you know, you 249 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: have to code switch, and you have to like put 250 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: on a specific kind of vibe for guys to be 251 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: in you. And I think sometimes the most I think 252 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: the reason I have, you know, been a quote unquote 253 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: bottom for so long is in large part because I've 254 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: been trying to present like my most feminine self and 255 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: show up as that person, like show up as myself 256 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: in the bedroom. Um, And so you know that's like 257 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: the role they want me to play, but like in 258 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: in reality it's like I I actually like, if I 259 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: really want to get laid, like I do have to 260 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: look like a man a lot of the times, not 261 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: to everybody, because some guys are into andreas. Sometimes I 262 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: think the best partner for me is someone who's into fagotry, 263 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: into general nonconformity, like someone who really wants to play 264 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: with me. But I mean not all of them. Yeah, 265 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: I I do find that who I don't need to 266 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: code switch for or like adjust my presentation or like 267 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: feel worried about how I'm being viewed is for women, 268 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: and like that is a part of my sexuality that 269 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: I want to spend more time with. But certainly like 270 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: in my sexual experiences with women, like I did not 271 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: feel like I had to fulfill some kind of like 272 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: expectation for them, which was really nice. Yeah, I think 273 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: you're going to hate that I'm bringing this up, But 274 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: like I think a lot about the Euphoria special episode 275 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: with Hunter Shaffer where she's in the therapist office and 276 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen the screen grab everywhere, but she 277 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: says something to the effect of I've kind of built 278 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: my entire girlhood based on what men want and what 279 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: men desire, and that is like so embarrassing, and that 280 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: hit me so hard, Like that moment of television hit 281 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: me so hard because I was like, oh my god, 282 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: I really have built like my mustache or like my 283 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: Jim routine, or like my wardrobe around being a track 284 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: dive two men. And at the end of the day, 285 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: like I want to fuck faggots, and I want to 286 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: fuck people that are on the gender spectrum, you know 287 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: what I mean, And and I I do think obviously 288 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: a lot of times we say faggots, people think men, 289 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: but like I that's not my definition of faggot. And 290 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: I know there's a class of women of trans women 291 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: that identify as faggots general that I know, yeah, and 292 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: the general conforming people that you know count themselves among faggots. 293 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: And like I'm I'm hot for general not conformity, and 294 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: so that's what I want to pull in. And that 295 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: was a really big shift for me in like my 296 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: gender expression and like what I kind of wanted out 297 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: of the world. And even though I still have to 298 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: code switch, even though rather I indulge in a code 299 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: switch sometimes sometimes you know, I just want it and 300 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: that's it. But I think the best sex for me 301 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: comes from when I can actually be myself. And I 302 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: think that I think about the Hunter Shapeer thing a lot. 303 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: You know, I have not seen that episode, and like 304 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: we all know how I feel about euphoria, but I 305 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: think coming at this from the point of view of 306 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: someone who's attracted to men and women, I in the 307 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: early days of my transition, like so much of the 308 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: affirmation I got was from feeling sexually desired by men, 309 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: specifically for the feminine way I presented um. But then 310 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: as I started to get further along in my transition 311 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: and presenting as a woman, the thing that was more 312 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: affirming for me was women seeing me as a woman 313 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: and not not always in a sexual way. And I 314 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: think one of the one of the things I realized 315 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: very early on is, especially when you're talking about transamorous men, 316 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: is like that affirmation that you get from them is 317 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: like so fleeting and fickle, but it is really powerful, 318 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: and I think I'm at a point where it doesn't 319 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: really matter to me as much. But again, like that 320 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: could also be as I was talking about before, just 321 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: like a product of circumstances and a lie that I 322 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: tell myself, I don't know where I get validation from now, 323 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: I don't know where I get sexual validation from. I 324 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: might not get it. I don't feel very sexually embodied 325 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: where I am now, which is like really weird for 326 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: me because it's something that at a different point on 327 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: my timeline was extremely important and like kind of central 328 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: to the way I interacted with the world. Yeah, it's so, 329 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: I mean, like it's funny because like we pretend to 330 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: like have all the answers, and I think a lot 331 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: of times, especially when all this stuff gets entangled in gender, 332 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: like we tiptoe around what we actually want to say 333 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: because we don't want to, you know, negate or invalidate 334 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: what our gender experience has been and we don't want 335 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: to be actually totally forthcoming about it. And but like obviously, 336 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: I mean with this is just for me specifically, but 337 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, I still have a certain kind of privilege 338 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: of like passing as a man to some people, or 339 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: some people perceive me as a man, and so I 340 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: benefit from that sometimes. But I also feel like I 341 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: just can't hold onto that like too much, otherwise it's 342 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: going to inform so much of like what I think 343 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: I deserve. You know. It's a really it's a really 344 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: slipper of Charlie. It's a really slippery slope because I 345 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: have similar dark thoughts where I'm sometimes miss the sex 346 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: that I used to have when I was when I 347 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: was a boy, not that I was ever a boy, 348 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: when I was pretending to be a boy, I don't know, 349 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: maybe when you were doing boy drag when Yeah, like 350 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: I sometimes really miss gay sex guard and that is 351 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: a that is a really hard thing to admit to 352 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: think of out because there's so much baggage that comes 353 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: with it, and I almost feel like, um, you know, 354 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for someone to like come out and be like, see, 355 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: see you were it's all fake, we were right. But 356 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: I have to, you know, own up to that because 357 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: it's true. It's how I spent most of my life, Like, 358 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: the majority of my life up until now, I most 359 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: of my sexual experience was that. Um, a much smaller 360 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: portion of my sexual experience has been having sex with 361 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: people who saw me as a woman. So yeah, and 362 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: that's I feel like I'm hopefully like on that cusp 363 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: of a moment where like I feel like I don't 364 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have to need sex with men that need 365 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: to perceive me as a man. You know what I mean? 366 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: Like I I mean as I'm like exploring like body 367 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: modification and like looking at like how I dress more, 368 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: and like I I feel like my gender expression is 369 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: now represented my grinder profile or whatever. It's like I am. 370 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm reconciled to the fact that like I won't, I 371 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: will be having sex with a different pool of people now. 372 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: But that's the pool of people that I want to 373 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: have sex with. And even if it feels more difficult 374 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: to me or anyone like, it's ultimately worth it. Question mark. 375 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's I I understand because I am passed 376 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 1: a point in my life where I want to have 377 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: sex with people who aren't queer and who won't get it, 378 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: and who don't care about all of that other stuff. 379 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm no longer looking for validation other than sexual from sex, 380 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: or or that's at least the goal. M Yeah, I 381 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: think so too. I I would hope that's that's true. 382 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: If I get like a gender affirmation, it would just 383 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: be like a a lucky byproduct, I would hope. But 384 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: I want I want someone who's not who's not going 385 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: to care and like I want to have sex with 386 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: someone who wants to fuck a queer body and not 387 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: that's anything else period. That's exactly where I'm at. Like 388 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: the guys that slide into my d m s that 389 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:16,239 Speaker 1: are like immediately get it. Yeah, that's my I'm like, 390 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: there's this that trade in Orlando that I talked about 391 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,959 Speaker 1: the other episode. That trade is like he's like, I'm 392 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: gonna get you so fucking pregnant. Like that's like his 393 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: vibe and that. Like those guys, I'm like, you see 394 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: me girl, Like okay, let's do this. Like, oh, I 395 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 1: would love to get you pregnant, friend, No, I I 396 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: actually think I would like to see you get pregnant, 397 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: Like I feel like you should do like a pregnancy 398 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: photo shoot. Like James Charles. Why are you just bringing 399 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: with James Charles? You know you are the one who's upset. 400 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: You brought it up every time you brought it up. 401 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: Every time. It's one of us brings up James Charles 402 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: almost every episode. Okay, So producer Phoebe has blessed us 403 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: with some really great questions trying to dig even further 404 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: into our personal lives. So, Fran are you existentially massochistic 405 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: or sadistic or both or neither m M. I went 406 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: to dinner with my co organizers of Brooklyn Liberation last 407 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: Friday and we were literally just like you know, getting 408 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: pizza at some restaurant, and we got onto this topic 409 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: almost immediately. I don't even know how it happened, but 410 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: like I'm a very like I'm an energy feeler. UM. 411 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what like label that is, but like 412 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm someone who I'm turned on by what you're turned 413 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: on by. UM, I definitely personally and into a more 414 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: kind of massochistic or rather what's the different? Maybe the 415 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: difference maybe we should clarify do you do you do 416 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: you enjoy receiving pain or do you enjoy giving pain? 417 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: I prefer receiving pain, but I love to give it 418 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: if you're into it. I'm never going to be the 419 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: one that's like I want you to feel pain, but 420 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: I will ask you to slap me like in the face. 421 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I do know what you mean, 422 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: and that I was gonna say. I to ask you 423 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: the question, what are what's your relationship to that kind 424 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: of like you know how that comes into bedroom. I 425 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: actually want to I want to hear what you think 426 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: my answer is, and then I want to give you 427 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 1: the real answer. I think that you love pain insects, 428 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: but I think that you like to give it as 429 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: much as you like to receive it. I think in 430 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: maybe some of your past, like you maybe were the 431 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: pain giver, and you, like I think from what I 432 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: know about you, like you like to be the person 433 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: in control of the situation. Obviously in a B D 434 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: s M relationship, like both partners are meant to have 435 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 1: control and that's that's key to it working. But like 436 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: I think you like to give, but like I think, 437 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: deep down in your heart, you would much rather just 438 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: receive and not have to do any of the work. Um. Wow, 439 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: you you got it, like almost exactly right. Clarify what 440 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: what's what's the what's the addendum? Okay, So I I 441 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: think I like the aesthetic of doling out pain and punishment, 442 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: whether the whips. Yeah, And I do think a lot 443 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: of the pain You're right is about control, and there 444 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: are specific things like I'm a biter. I really like 445 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm a really hard biter. Um, I love to, like, 446 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: you know, give a fun little spanking. But yeah, I 447 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: I think it's less about sex and more like I 448 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: think me as a person, I do enjoy a level 449 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: of pain. I like making things hard for myself. Um yeah, yeah, 450 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: And I definitely am um a physical, emotional, and spiritual masochist. 451 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: And your pain threshold is very high. I feel like, yes, 452 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: I'm very good at enduring pain, both in like a 453 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: very specific localized sense and in a more existential way 454 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: as well. I have a hard time finding partners that 455 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: will like kind of incentivize that kind of pain play, Like, 456 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: I feel like I usually have to ask for it. 457 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: But like I think in general, when it comes to 458 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: like most people that or maybe middle have middle of 459 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: the road sex life, it's like we're too scared to 460 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: ask about those things. But if you're into it, you 461 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 1: should go for it, you know, with the sign obviously. 462 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: I think the way it shakes out for me is 463 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: that I don't want to receive pain from someone who 464 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: asks if they can dole it out. I want to 465 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: be the one who asks for it. And then on 466 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: the flip side, I don't want to give pain to 467 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: someone who really needs it. I want it to be 468 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: something that I ask for and they offer up to me. 469 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: Control play control by Jenne Jacks Jennet Jackson said, this 470 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 1: is the lock about control. I knew you were at 471 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: Oh my god, the same worm brain. Um well, that's amazing. 472 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm so glad we were able to have that conversation 473 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: without invoking fifty shades of grace on how I mean, 474 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: I just still could. We're still good. Thank you for 475 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: listening to another one of our Pride bonus episodes.
