<v Speaker 1>go to like a hook up, because on more than

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:47.120

<v Speaker 1>a good key key. But before we get into the

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>messy mail, might I share some my messy mom what?

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:17.840
<v Speaker 2>What? What?

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>What can we call this segment? Messy Mom Cares, messy Mom,

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>messy Mom Wisdom, messy mom Nuggets. I just want to

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 1>share something called the over over over rule, which is

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 1>something that I created to help me navigate relationships. And

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I shared this on Watch What Happens Live in November

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>when I was promoting our podcast, I was asked a

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>question about polyamory, uh, and so I offered my over

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>over overrule, which I think can work for polyamory, can

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>work for monogamy, can work for romantic relationsships, platonic relationships,

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>professional relationships.

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just a rule that's.

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Really great for building relationships and making relationships feel safe

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>and secure, loving and compassionate.

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 2>So can I share it with you? Can I share

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 2>with you? Right now? Okay?

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 1>This is the over over overall communication over no communication,

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>transparency over honesty, dumb questions over no questions.

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, girl, are you with me? Are you with me?

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>All right? Let me break it down.

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>So communication over no communication. That obviously seems obvious. But

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>talk to your partner compassionately. Say everything what you're afraid of,

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>jealous of, nervous about, excited about. Do not assume your

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 1>partner knows. Set them up for success by communicating your feelings.

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Here's the deal.

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Because of like you know, the Verman Took Levels and

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>our TV shows, we are taught that like real love

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>is you just know everything about me.

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>It's like, that's not true me.

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Like you're evolving, you're growing, you're shifting, and how would

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I know all those evolutions that are happening inside of

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you if you're not communicating it. So that you might

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>have loved in our first year together, you might not

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>love so much in our third year together. Something you

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>would were completely averse to in our first month you

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 1>might be all about in our sixth month. So communication

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>communication over no communication. Do not assume that you know

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>everything about your partner. Do not assume they know everything

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>about you. Do not require them to know everything about you.

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>We want to learn about each other constantly, so talking. Oh.

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>The next one is transparency over honesty. So honesty is great,

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>but honesty is when I ask you a question, you

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 1>tell me the truth Transparency is I'm just gonna tell

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you the information before it's asked.

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.320
<v Speaker 2>And I think that this is such an important.

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Opponent, you know how that's spelled baby, because it helps

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>us build trust. Transparency offers information before being asked, which

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>allows your partner to feel safe that you're not keeping

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>things from them in secret. Now, you may not keep

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 1>thinking in secret, and that may just not be who

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>you are, but it doesn't mean that your partner doesn't

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 1>have baggage. We all have baggage. You have baggage. We're

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>coming to the table baggage. And so if you have

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 1>come from a family or previous relationships where there was secrecy,

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.319
<v Speaker 1>where people weren't honest, how many of y'all can relate, Yes,

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 1>where people did lie, where there was betrayal.

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Or people just didn't talk. Come on suburban families.

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 1>That's inside of your your your makeup as a as

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.199
<v Speaker 1>a person like you're you're you're wired to be. We're

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>not conscious of it, but to be looking for that,

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>to be assuming that right. And your partner may not

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 1>be somebody who keeps things from you whatever, but it

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean that you aren't by default going to assume

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>that they might write or vice versa, and so transparency

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>is just a really loving and compassionate tool to just

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>get in the habit of now. By the way, secrecy

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>and privacy are not the same thing.

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I do believe in privacy.

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I do believe even if you're you're in love and

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>you love each other, you're together, that is okay if

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>there are certain things that you keep private that are yours,

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.719
<v Speaker 1>and that is totally fine, and you will share when

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you feel ready. But secrets or what we're trying to

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.439
<v Speaker 1>avoid the things that you're like, I know I shouldn't

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>be doing this, or I know I need to tell

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 1>them right, So just offering transparency and just saying the thing, Hey,

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I am going out with these people tonight. That might

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.440
<v Speaker 1>be an example, just so that you're not thinking that

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm out with you know somebody I shouldn't be out with,

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>or I am going to be doing this, or I'm

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.960
<v Speaker 1>my plan is to head over here, or or.

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 2>This is how I'm feeling about this.

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Like, just the transparency over honesty I think is uh

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>is fundamental in building that trust. Okay, and now dumb

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.960
<v Speaker 1>questions over no questions, It is okay to not know

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>how to navigate the humps in your partnership. No relationship

0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>looks exactly like yours because you.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Are co creating it in real time.

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 1>So instead of mustling through or pretending like you know

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing, be brave and ask the dumb questions.

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Learn about your partner and your relationship together. So you know,

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I think about this with polyamory specifically because sometimes you

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:19.439
<v Speaker 1>know people like well assume, oh, I should know how

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 1>to relate to all these partners, or I should know

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 1>how to have a conversation when I'm feeling jealous about something. Baby,

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't or I should. The shoulds are actually killing you.

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to know anything. Ask the question, don't assume,

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>don't hold it in. Even if it's a dumb question.

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 1>You get to say, this is a this may be

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>a really dumb question, but how do you feel about this?

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Or how do you do this? Or how do we

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 2>navigate this? Ask the question.

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Now, all these components communication over no communication, transparency over honesty,

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>dumb questions over no questions. What they're really facilitating is

0:11:56.200 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>over communication, which is the bedrock of any healthy relationship.

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>That's ultimately what I'm getting to is that over communicate, Baby,

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll say it again, over communicate. I think it is

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>so loving and generous and kind to over communicate. It

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>leaves no guessing. It's very clear, and even if we

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know certain things, we get to say I don't

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>know how I feel about this, or I don't know

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.679
<v Speaker 1>what I think about that, and that is also helpful. Yeah,

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>so all of this, the overrule is really about facilitating

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:40.559
<v Speaker 1>over communication, and I promise you over communication will help

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>you build a safe relationship, whether it is polyamorous, whether

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>it is monogamous, whether it is romantic, whether it is platonic,

0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 1>whether it is professional. Being able to say the things

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>will make you feel better and will just allow everyone

0:12:58.160 --> 0:12:59.959
<v Speaker 1>to always be on the same page or to get

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>back on the same page and to feel aligned.

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, oh fucking gay. Yeah maby, we did that. All right.

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's get into your submissions and your questions. But before

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>we do that, we have to do, you know, our

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 1>home manifest o. Grant me the serenity to unpack my shame,

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.199
<v Speaker 1>the courage to heal, the wisdom to know that sex

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>is not about penetration, the audacity to advocate for my

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.079
<v Speaker 1>pleasure and boundaries, the strength and not call my ex

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>that fuck boy, fuck girl, or fuck day for it

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>is better to masturbate by myself in peace than to

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 1>let someone play in my motherfucking face. Let the hommunity

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>say holujah ooh. A bit of homekeeping before we get

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 1>into this first mess email, which is we are trying

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>to get to those two hundred and sixty reviews and

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 1>ratings before.

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 2>The end of the month.

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.719
<v Speaker 1>I think we're like at two eleven on Spotify and

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember how many we have on Apple.

0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 2>But if you.

0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Haven't, baby, do me a favor. When you review and

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.959
<v Speaker 1>rate the show. Give it the five stars. Really helps

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the show grow, helps it get into the hearts and

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.719
<v Speaker 1>the hands and the ears of people who might really

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 1>want to be part of it but just don't know

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 1>that re exists. So that really helps to thank you,

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much. Okay, give me that bail, give

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>me that, give me that chime, that that the messy

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:18.319
<v Speaker 1>mail chime.

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Ah. All right, let's read this first one.

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Can I be polyamorous and only want to date monogamousts?

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you could be, babe, You could be whatever

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you want.

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. You could be whatever you want.

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess my question would be if you are polyamorous

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and only wanting to date monogamous, this is feeling like,

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, the gay who only wants to date the

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 1>straight guy. You know what I'm saying, which the note

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 1>beneath the note, the thing that's happening underneath is essentially

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you are afraid.

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Of somebody who wants you back.

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 1>And so you know, if you're somebody who's polyamorous purposely

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 1>wanting to date people who are monogamous, I feel like

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>you're afraid to be wanted back because you know they're monogamous.

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 1>They don't want to do this thing that you're doing,

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and are you trying to turn them? That's not very

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>loving or compassionate. You know, I want to respect where

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 1>you are in your journey and what it is that

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you see for relationships in the same way that I

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 1>want somebody to respect what I see for relationships. But

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 1>also if I'm going for that person no wing ahead

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>of time, that we are at conflict like this, then

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I would say, for you, my dear love, are you

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 1>scared of somebody who actually is aligned with you?

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Are you scared of being loved?

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Like? Can we just go there and say it head on.

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Are you scared of being loved? Which is a fair

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>a fair fear. That's an understandable fear because with love

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>comes heartbreak, right, and that's not to be morbid or whatever,

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>but this, you know, when we love people, things happen, right,

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the relationship may not last forever. Things ebb and flow,

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and so you give of your heart knowing there's a gamble.

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Whereas if you are going after someone that you know

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>you can't have, that's you just trying to control. That's

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 1>you try to like control shit, which when it comes

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to love, you don't have control. You know you you

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you have control over over how you show up, which

0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 1>is kindly and compassionately and lovingly, but you don't have

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 1>control over whether or not that person stays or doesn't stay,

0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>or whether that person stays the same, which hopefully neither

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:24.720
<v Speaker 1>you do.

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 2>In the the.

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Trajectory relationship, hopefully you're both growing and you grow together.

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 1>But in that growth can also be a growth apart.

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>So all that to say, I would reflect on yourself

0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 1>first before before trying to go turn a monogamous or

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 1>go after monogamous. I would ask what are you afraid of? What?

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Are you afraid of losing if you were to be

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 1>with somebody who actually is also polyamorous like you are? Okay,

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I gotta hate that what I've didn that? Yes, I

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>know things, I know things. I do know things, not everything,

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 1>but I know some things.

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 1>This one says my hubs finally all caps wants butt play,

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>but it's so smelly.

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 2>We need to laugh.

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to laugh, no, worry is just funny.

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>And how do I tell him.

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.400

<v Speaker 1>Actually sorry, I don't like slapping, but unless I like spanking, okay, work.

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 1>You are not catching feelings. You are catching fantasies. You

0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.440
<v Speaker 1>are projecting your fantasies on to this person you don't know.

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Two dates. You don't know nothing about them.

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.280
<v Speaker 1>What's their middle name, what's their favorite scent, what's their

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:52.919
<v Speaker 1>credit score? You don't know nothing about them. You not

<v Speaker 1>my love right because you found out that they like

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 1>aoli with their fries. That's I'm catching a smile because

<v Speaker 1>I also like aoli with my fries. But that's not feelings. Well,

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.159

<v Speaker 1>and I like something more woodsy, this is gonna be

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:08.800

<v Speaker 1>Wake the fuck up. Okay, stop projecting your fantasies. Catching fantasies,

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 1>not feelings. Mostly you gonna catch again is a smile

<v Speaker 3>Love.

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 2>You might get a second date, you might get a

0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 2>third date. Talk to me after date five.

0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:19.120
<v Speaker 1>If we are on five, if we go on five

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 1>dates five business days, you see what I'm saying, five dates,

0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:25.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the equivalent of five business days. Okay, that might

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:27.960
<v Speaker 1>be enough time to stay. I like this person. This

0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:31.120
<v Speaker 1>person is something. Now you know what I'm saying. How

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 1>long is the day now? Okay, here's the difference. Okay, okay,

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 1>if your two dates, I'm making this up. But if

0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:43.640
<v Speaker 1>your two dates equal twelve hours, we.

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Might have something to talk about, okay.

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 1>But it has to be in your local city, like

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:53.560
<v Speaker 1>where you live. Okay, it has to be twelve hours

0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:56.920
<v Speaker 1>in your city where you live. Then we might talk

0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.159
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know about y'all. But sometimes you be

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 1>having that international okay, to be twelve hours. You know,

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 1>you be up in Madrid, you be up in by you,

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean me, you be up or somewhere foreign, and

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 1>you know you have them dates that are twelve hours,

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:14.680
<v Speaker 1>and you be feeling all the fields you're in Spain

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 1>my love. Of course you catch you feel is it's

0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:21.359
<v Speaker 1>lovely here. Your real life is not here. Of course

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you catch you feel as for niggas across the pond

0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:25.399
<v Speaker 1>because you're not in your real life.

<v Speaker 2>Oh lord, okay, y'all get me tired. Okay, I'm sorry. Okay.

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:39.440
<v Speaker 1>This one says I do not experience sexual desire until

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I've grown an in person connection with someone of any

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 1>gender identity. And also, I think until I know that

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the attraction is reciprocated. I would like to move into

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 1>a kind communicative learning whe era, but I'm struggling with

0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 1>making connections that are clear enough for me to feel

0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the trust I need to feel sexual attraction. What tips

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:04.120
<v Speaker 1>do you have about how to look for people who

0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:07.119
<v Speaker 1>are ready for transparency and fun? Thank you for the

0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:09.159
<v Speaker 1>light and laughter and fun of the show and also

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:12.080
<v Speaker 1>all of your content. It is pulling me through quite

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the life momento. Ah.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, hello, what should we name you? Let's name you Jerika.

0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why, but hey, Jericha, thank you for

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:24.639
<v Speaker 2>this question.

0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, first of all, it sounds like you might be demisexual.

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 1>So demisexual is when you need to know somebody in

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 1>order to experience that sexual attraction. But by the way

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:39.679
<v Speaker 1>you maybe that doesn't resonate. But I would you know,

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 1>suggest researching demisexuals, going on YouTube, listening to somebody who

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:49.640
<v Speaker 1>is sexual talk about their experience and see if it resonates.

0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:53.119
<v Speaker 1>At the very least, it'll give you maybe more language

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 1>to articulate more of how you might identify or make

0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:03.959
<v Speaker 1>you feel seen and how you're feeling. My advice here,

0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 1>which you know, you know, I'm always gonna say this.

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say this to everything. Take what you need to,

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:11.919
<v Speaker 1>take what's useful, and leave the rest. But when it

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 1>comes to finding people who are ready, for transparency and fun,

0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:17.359
<v Speaker 1>it requires, in my opinion, for you to also be

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:21.439
<v Speaker 1>transparent and fun. And what I mean by being fun

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 1>is to lower the stakes and have a good time.

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:27.160
<v Speaker 1>To take the pressure off. And I'm sure you've heard

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 1>me say this, take the pressure off the dating or

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:33.160
<v Speaker 1>meeting this person having to be the be all end all,

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>or having to be the perfect fit, and just show

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:41.359
<v Speaker 1>up in curiosity and compassion and be transparent. I have

0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 1>found better partners by offering the transparency first because it

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 1>allows me to see how they respond to it, and

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 1>if they don't respond well to it, that's not a

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 1>partner that I'm gonna fox with, right But the people

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 1>that do respond well to it, who are like, I'm like,

0:26:57.119 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 1>this is what I'm looking for, this is who I am,

0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:01.359
<v Speaker 1>or this is what I'm interested in or whatever, or however,

0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>however I show up in my transparency and they respond

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>in the same way and they like are engaged in

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the conversation. Those are people that I can really fuckx with. Also,

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.160
<v Speaker 1>people who are like not necessarily trying to talk about

0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 1>sex right away, even if even if we are on

0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the apps, even if we're on the sex apps, but

0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:23.760
<v Speaker 1>they're like how's your day? What kind of music do

0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 1>you like? Did you are you watching this show? Like

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, where it's just a it's an expansive

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:34.600
<v Speaker 1>conversation that doesn't just have to do with you know,

0:27:34.640 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 1>where do you want to put your dick?

0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Or how wit is that pussy? Right?

0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Which there are times for that, but I think in

0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:44.639
<v Speaker 1>what you're looking for, which is emotional connection, to build

0:27:44.720 --> 0:27:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the sexual attraction and sexual connection, just talk like that,

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:53.680
<v Speaker 1>be the be the transparent one, talk about the other

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:58.679
<v Speaker 1>things besides sex, and see how that person responds, and

0:27:58.720 --> 0:27:59.639
<v Speaker 1>then go from there.

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I hope that's helpful.

0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a delicious place to start. And I'll

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:07.680
<v Speaker 1>also affirm that your desire to move into a kind

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:15.000
<v Speaker 1>communicative learning whole era is perfectly wonderful. So even though

0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:18.879
<v Speaker 1>maybe you're meeting people who are not on that same wavelength,

0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:21.080
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't mean that there aren't people who exist who

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:24.200
<v Speaker 1>would be on that same wavelength. So I think sometimes

0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>when we are pursuing what we want and it goes

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:32.200
<v Speaker 1>against what we've seen in media and have been socialized,

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 1>we can feel like we're the odd one out. But

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 1>you're not, baby, You're absolutely not. So that those transparent

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and fun partners are out there. Start with you being

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>transparent and fun. All right, I love you, Dereka, Thank

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 1>you for the question. This one says I got dped

0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:55.200
<v Speaker 1>without lube in a Brazilian bath house on my birthday.

0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I can't poop.

0:28:56.600 --> 0:29:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, Well, please don't do this. Y'all be getting so

0:29:01.560 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 1>digmatized that you make dumb ass decisions. You know what

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, dickmatized making dumb ass decisions. You only get

0:29:08.960 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 1>one hole in your life. Why are you putting dicks,

0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:14.520
<v Speaker 1>not one, but two dicks in your hole with no loop?

0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:15.360
<v Speaker 2>This is no judgment.

0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:17.640
<v Speaker 1>This is my messy mam is talking to you with love.

0:29:18.080 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, why would you do that? What was the reason?

0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 2>What was the reason?

0:29:23.880 --> 0:29:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I know you in Brazil and listen in Brazil. From

0:29:26.240 --> 0:29:28.440
<v Speaker 1>what I understand, I haven't been yet before. I understand

<v Speaker 1>are other other worldly.

<v Speaker 2>I get it.

<v Speaker 1>But who are you impressing by taking two dicks with

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:39.040

<v Speaker 1>just saw myself in camera mimic two dicks coming to

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 1>my face, and I thought, wow, So this is the show,

0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:22.480
<v Speaker 1>this is this is my job, this is my career.

0:31:22.600 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 1>But te you grabbed those dicks and you suck them.

0:31:26.480 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 1>You suck them until they're nice and wet, sloppy, and

0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 1>then maybe you get one. You don't need to get

0:31:33.080 --> 0:31:35.800

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go into it.

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:04.560
<v Speaker 2>You think of these are.

<v Speaker 2>All right, go with me, honey.

0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 1>If the universe provided you those beautiful dicks, it will

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:14.920
<v Speaker 1>provide you more beautiful dicks.

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:17.440
<v Speaker 2>You do not need to.

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Sacrifice the functionality of your whole for some fleeting pleasure.

0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:24.000
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. Tell yourself.

0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:26.239
<v Speaker 1>There are plenty of dicks in the sea, and I

0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 1>am worthy of each and every one of them.

0:32:29.920 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Come on, come on, come on. That's tea right there.

0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do it again.

0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I do not have to sacrifice the functionality of my

0:32:41.080 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 1>whole for fleeting pleasure, because there are plenty of dicks

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 1>in the sea, and I am worthy of each and

0:32:53.000 --> 0:32:54.080
<v Speaker 1>every one of them.

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:57.560
<v Speaker 2>AFM, this one says Hi.

0:32:57.720 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been listening to this podcast the last few months

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:03.960
<v Speaker 1>and have enjoyed the PEP talks about sexuality, blackness, and queerness.

0:33:04.240 --> 0:33:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I need some advice. I've been dating this guy since October,

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:11.080
<v Speaker 1>almost six months. We started out with spontaneous sexual chemistry

0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and seeing each other almost every day or every other day.

0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:15.560
<v Speaker 2>We've gone on many.

0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Dates, from park days, sports bars to a getaway in

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Palm Springs. In all honesty, we've had our issues, but

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:25.560
<v Speaker 1>we do like one another a lot. However, we have

0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 1>not had sex since February. We've had little mess arounds,

0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:32.600
<v Speaker 1>but he has not typically initiated anything. Even a BJA

0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:35.479
<v Speaker 1>or hand job session has varied anywhere from two to

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 1>three weeks at this point. I've talked to him about

0:33:37.760 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 1>it and told him that I've been frustrated and feeling undesired.

0:33:40.960 --> 0:33:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure what to do. His responses keep varying

0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and are confusing me. I've also asked him if he

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:50.560
<v Speaker 1>thinks he's asexual. He was depressed for a bit because

0:33:50.560 --> 0:33:52.360
<v Speaker 1>he lost his job, but now he's got a new

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:55.480
<v Speaker 1>gig which has him working over time. It's April and

0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really sure what to do now that we

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 1>aren't being as intimate. I'm wondering if we're death than

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 1>to be just friends. My needs are not being met,

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:05.560
<v Speaker 1>and although I've communicated with him on multiple occasions, nothing

0:34:05.600 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 1>has changed. I'm sad, confused sexually frustrated and a bit

0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:12.880
<v Speaker 1>helpless right now, I am not sure what to do. Okay,

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:19.200
<v Speaker 1>let's call you tender heart, because that's what I'm feeling

0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:22.799
<v Speaker 1>in your message, that you are tenderhearted right now, high

0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:25.680
<v Speaker 1>tender heart. First of all, I want to affirm that

0:34:25.719 --> 0:34:29.760
<v Speaker 1>this is very frustrating, and I want to hold space

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:33.480
<v Speaker 1>for your sadness, for your confusion, for your sexual frustration.

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:37.880
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot, and especially since it's only it's been

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:39.800
<v Speaker 1>a short not only but it's been a short amount

0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:42.680
<v Speaker 1>of time, right that you've been seeing this person less

0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:46.280
<v Speaker 1>than a year. You know, the sex waiting so quickly

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.880
<v Speaker 1>can be confusing. Here's what I will offer, and I'm

0:34:48.880 --> 0:34:52.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna hold your hand when I say this. Okay, actions

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:57.879
<v Speaker 1>speak louder than words, and so although his responses might

0:34:57.960 --> 0:35:02.640
<v Speaker 1>be confusing, his actions are very clear. If you have communicated,

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:06.359
<v Speaker 1>you've asked the questions, you've asked about asexuality, you've asked

0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:08.799
<v Speaker 1>about the get you, you've said what you've wanted, and

0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:12.440
<v Speaker 1>there's no change, then now the ball is in your court,

0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:15.359
<v Speaker 1>which is to say what do you need? And it

0:35:15.440 --> 0:35:18.880
<v Speaker 1>might not be to be in this partnership or this relationship.

0:35:19.400 --> 0:35:21.600
<v Speaker 1>If we were talking about you've been with this person

0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:24.239
<v Speaker 1>for three or four years and this is happening. That's

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a very different conversation than within the first couple months.

0:35:28.760 --> 0:35:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not I don't know anything about you know

0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:33.000
<v Speaker 1>this partner, And there can be a myriad of reasons

0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:37.440
<v Speaker 1>why they are no longer engaging in sex. That can

0:35:37.480 --> 0:35:39.799
<v Speaker 1>be personal. They may not know how to communicate what

0:35:39.840 --> 0:35:42.760
<v Speaker 1>they're experiencing. They might not even think that anything is wrong,

0:35:42.920 --> 0:35:46.480
<v Speaker 1>but you feel it. And so I'm going to talk

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:49.279
<v Speaker 1>to you, tender heart and say that this might be

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:52.439
<v Speaker 1>And I don't want to tell you what to do,

0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:54.320
<v Speaker 1>so again, and take what you need to, take what's useful,

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:58.239
<v Speaker 1>leave the rest. But this might be one of those

0:35:58.280 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 1>moments where you have to choose you and you have

0:36:01.719 --> 0:36:04.480
<v Speaker 1>to go, Okay, I see the actions, I hear the words,

0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:06.400
<v Speaker 1>but they're not matching the actions, and I'm gonna trust

0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the actions and this person I've asked for change and

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:12.399
<v Speaker 1>hasn't made change. And so now what do I want

0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:15.560
<v Speaker 1>for myself? And if it's hard to make that change,

0:36:15.600 --> 0:36:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I want you to think about yourself in third person.

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:21.080
<v Speaker 1>So if you were your best friend and your best

0:36:21.120 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 1>friend wrote this tenderhearted letter, or said these tenderhearted things

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to you. What advice would you give them? My guess

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:31.760
<v Speaker 1>is you would say, hey, babe, you a badass bitch

0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and you deserve more than what's happening. And so if

0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you know homeboy is not making the change to the shifts,

0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:42.560
<v Speaker 1>then you get to walk away. And that is sad,

0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:45.839
<v Speaker 1>of course, and heartbreaking because you have somebody that you've

0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:48.960
<v Speaker 1>connected to, but you can still be friends, you can

0:36:49.000 --> 0:36:50.960
<v Speaker 1>still make a friendship, you can still make a connection.

0:36:51.160 --> 0:36:53.480
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to lose that person completely, but they

0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:57.359
<v Speaker 1>just might not be your romantic partner. Yeah, sometimes we're

0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:00.120
<v Speaker 1>not compatible with people. It doesn't mean that we're not worthy,

0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:02.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean that we're not a badass bitch. It just

0:37:02.080 --> 0:37:06.480
<v Speaker 1>means we're not combatible. We're not aligned, and that's okay. Yeah,

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the sooner you get about the business of making a

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 1>shift on your end, the sooner you will be able

0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:14.560
<v Speaker 1>to make space for.

0:37:14.560 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 2>A partner that you might be more aligned with.

0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So be sad, grieve this relationship, grieve the excitement you

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:26.680
<v Speaker 1>had around it, and then also allow it to transform, shift, morph,

0:37:26.840 --> 0:37:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and expand into something else.

0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Kinderheart, I love you. Thank you for this service.

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:43.360
<v Speaker 1>This next one says, honestly, would love to hear you

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.600
<v Speaker 1>talk more about post anal conversations when you're new to it.

0:37:46.960 --> 0:37:50.400
<v Speaker 1>How mature conversation should sound if there are messes. I

0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:53.640
<v Speaker 1>always feel so shameful and embarrassed even talking about the

0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:56.399
<v Speaker 1>potential of anal play, even though it might not bother

0:37:56.520 --> 0:37:59.560
<v Speaker 1>me personally. Don't get me wrong, No mess is best,

0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 1>but there's always a potential for one, and I might

0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:04.279
<v Speaker 1>just need to explore to get over my fear. Any

0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:10.640
<v Speaker 1>tips would help, Hi, what should we call you anal bestie?

0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Lovely? Hi, anal bestie? I think this is such a

0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:17.239
<v Speaker 2>great question and so important.

0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:20.719
<v Speaker 1>The way that I think those conversations should go is

0:38:20.800 --> 0:38:23.640
<v Speaker 1>full compassion and love. If a mess happens and somebody's

0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:26.680
<v Speaker 1>like aal grows ah, I don't want to be around

0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:29.200
<v Speaker 1>those fuckers at all, right, because, as you said, you

0:38:29.239 --> 0:38:31.760
<v Speaker 1>were gonna do our best to not make a mess,

0:38:32.840 --> 0:38:37.840
<v Speaker 1>but it is the fucking asshole. Shit happens, literally, and

0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:39.799
<v Speaker 1>when it happens, you wonder that you're with people who

0:38:39.840 --> 0:38:42.839
<v Speaker 1>are compassionate and the way the conversation should go. Especially

0:38:43.600 --> 0:38:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I believe right the person who had the accident, the

0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:52.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's not irresponsible to make the space compassionate. You

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:54.440
<v Speaker 1>are navigating a lot in that moment, so I think

0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:57.600
<v Speaker 1>it's the responsibility of the other partner or partners to

0:38:58.000 --> 0:39:01.839
<v Speaker 1>support you to you know, what do you need. Let's

0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:05.719
<v Speaker 1>get you the shower, Let's clean this up, you know,

0:39:07.239 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 1>reaffirm you you're good, don't worry it happens. I still

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:14.279
<v Speaker 1>find you sexy, right like you. Shitting should not make

0:39:14.280 --> 0:39:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you less sexy, cause everybody shits, okay, even if you

0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:20.080
<v Speaker 1>don't put nothing in your butt, all airbody shit, so

0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:23.960
<v Speaker 1>you shitting should not or having an accident should not

0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:28.200
<v Speaker 1>make you less attractive or less desirable. You might decide

0:39:28.200 --> 0:39:31.200
<v Speaker 1>that you you know, we're not gonna have any more

0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:34.759
<v Speaker 1>sex that evening, or obviously no more butt stuff, and

0:39:35.000 --> 0:39:37.120
<v Speaker 1>take a shower and maybe we'll just do hand stuff.

0:39:37.200 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 1>There are countless ways to figure out the aftermath of that,

0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:46.680
<v Speaker 1>which I often say follow the lead of the the

0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:49.799
<v Speaker 1>person whose butt is being played with. So you might

0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:53.160
<v Speaker 1>decide after that, I don't want nothing near me and

0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I just want to go home, and that's fine. You

0:39:56.239 --> 0:39:57.960
<v Speaker 1>might also decide, okay, I just need to clean up,

0:39:58.040 --> 0:40:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and then, you know, I want to do hand stuff

0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:02.480
<v Speaker 1>or we can just like cuddle and that's also fine.

0:40:03.560 --> 0:40:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm answering your question.

0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:08.520
<v Speaker 1>But that's how that's how I would operate if I'm

0:40:09.080 --> 0:40:11.040
<v Speaker 1>if my butt was not the one being played with

0:40:11.040 --> 0:40:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and my partner had an accent, and I'm going to

0:40:13.239 --> 0:40:16.480
<v Speaker 1>defer to them what they need and be of the

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:19.239
<v Speaker 1>utmost support to them. And if I'm the one who

0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:22.200
<v Speaker 1>had the accident, uh, you know, I'm going to do

0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 1>my best in that moment to ask for what I need.

0:40:25.360 --> 0:40:27.759
<v Speaker 1>But the hope is that I've picked a partner who

0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:30.920
<v Speaker 1>is already compassionate and can you know, step in to

0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:32.080
<v Speaker 1>support me in that?

0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Does that answer your question? I hope? So thanks Antal, Bestie.

0:40:36.680 --> 0:40:37.440
<v Speaker 2>What a good question.

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:40.640
<v Speaker 1>So this one says, my mental health is spiraling. How

0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:43.760
<v Speaker 1>do you make yourself believe you're worthy of love?

0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:45.520
<v Speaker 2>I love this question.

0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:49.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a common question, and also I would say a

0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 1>difficult question because people always say love yourself, But what

0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:58.279
<v Speaker 1>is the what are the steps to that? I'm gonna

0:40:58.280 --> 0:41:02.799
<v Speaker 1>say this right now. Everybody steps or blueprint to that

0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:06.439
<v Speaker 1>is going to be different. But I will offer you

0:41:06.520 --> 0:41:09.359
<v Speaker 1>what has worked for me, and my hope is that

0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:11.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, you'll take what you know what what my

0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:14.080
<v Speaker 1>mentor yous always say, like, take what's useful, take what

0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 1>you need to leave the rest. But at the very least,

0:41:16.640 --> 0:41:19.000
<v Speaker 1>if I give you this little base, it might inspire

0:41:19.160 --> 0:41:23.440
<v Speaker 1>other things that you can add to your toolbox towards

0:41:23.560 --> 0:41:27.279
<v Speaker 1>getting there. Because I think loving yourself. You know, it

0:41:27.360 --> 0:41:29.560
<v Speaker 1>always sounds cheesy and corny when we talk about it,

0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:32.120
<v Speaker 1>but it is literally the most important part of this

0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:38.880
<v Speaker 1>existence of yours. It will change your life from being

0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:45.840
<v Speaker 1>this miserable, burdensome thing to something that feels light and loving.

0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying what will still be hard, and life

0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:51.399
<v Speaker 1>is hard and hard things happen, but you don't need

0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:53.640
<v Speaker 1>to add not loving yourself.

0:41:53.320 --> 0:41:54.560
<v Speaker 2>To the baggage.

0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:58.720
<v Speaker 1>So I think it all starts with knowing that you're lovable.

0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:03.920
<v Speaker 1>And I say, no, not believing. Believing will come with

0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:06.520
<v Speaker 1>time and with work. But there is a need or

0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:10.080
<v Speaker 1>not a need, there's a necessity to know that you're lovable,

0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'll talk about ways to do that. But also

0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you can dedicate your life to yourself. You talk to

0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:21.920
<v Speaker 1>yourself in third person and you commit to it, so

0:42:22.920 --> 0:42:26.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I become my advocate. I think about myself

0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:29.279
<v Speaker 1>as you know, what if I'm my own parent? So

0:42:29.320 --> 0:42:33.480
<v Speaker 1>how am I talking to Brandon? Am I critical? Am

0:42:33.520 --> 0:42:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I judgmental? Am I yelling? Am I rageful?

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Am I angry?

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Or? Am I gentle? Am I soft? Am I compassionate?

0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Am I curious? How are you talking to yourself? It

0:42:44.920 --> 0:42:47.120
<v Speaker 1>really does help, you know in the beginning stages, talk

0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to yourself in third person without you go, without arrogance,

0:42:50.560 --> 0:42:52.960
<v Speaker 1>just like all right, Brandon, I hear you on this,

0:42:53.280 --> 0:42:56.320
<v Speaker 1>but you're fine, or let me give you some grace,

0:42:56.400 --> 0:42:58.200
<v Speaker 1>or how are you talking to yourself?

0:42:58.239 --> 0:42:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Is important.

0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Finding your resources for that support of yourself, whether it's

0:43:02.840 --> 0:43:07.360
<v Speaker 1>a therapist, whether it's podcasts, books. Some books that have

0:43:07.440 --> 0:43:10.560
<v Speaker 1>really helped me on this journey was Gifts of Imperfection,

0:43:12.000 --> 0:43:16.560
<v Speaker 1>The Artist Way, Happiness Advantage. I will also offer my

0:43:16.600 --> 0:43:18.560
<v Speaker 1>book You Got to Be You as a resource. But

0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:21.799
<v Speaker 1>there are people writing about mental health and building your

0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:24.280
<v Speaker 1>life and living softer.

0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:27.160
<v Speaker 2>What is that book?

0:43:27.320 --> 0:43:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hearsy, which you know, all

0:43:30.920 --> 0:43:34.120
<v Speaker 1>about giving yourself permission to rest. A lot of times,

0:43:34.200 --> 0:43:36.880
<v Speaker 1>as we're hating on ourselves, we also make sure that

0:43:36.880 --> 0:43:41.120
<v Speaker 1>we're not ever relaxing. We're just working because we're chasing

0:43:41.120 --> 0:43:44.200
<v Speaker 1>our worth. Our productivity makes us feel like we're worthy

0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:47.440
<v Speaker 1>of something, and so we we overwork and we overextend

0:43:47.440 --> 0:43:51.960
<v Speaker 1>our bodies. And so I find that book also incredibly helpful.

0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Find the authors or creators who reflect your identity and

0:43:54.719 --> 0:43:58.200
<v Speaker 1>watch them speak about their journey. So you have social media,

0:43:58.480 --> 0:44:00.799
<v Speaker 1>we have you know, podcasts, books like who are the

0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:04.319
<v Speaker 1>people that have your similar experience whether it's that they're

0:44:04.360 --> 0:44:07.080
<v Speaker 1>also black, or they're also queer, or they are you know,

0:44:07.520 --> 0:44:11.520
<v Speaker 1>also for generation, or they're also you know, from New

0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:14.440
<v Speaker 1>York or from wherever you're from, like whatever it is, like,

0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:18.200
<v Speaker 1>find somebody who has similarities to you and listen to

0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:20.720
<v Speaker 1>them speak about their journey. I do this thing which

0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I love, which is I call evening with my ancestors

0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:26.200
<v Speaker 1>and elders, which is essentially I will spend the evening

0:44:26.280 --> 0:44:30.080
<v Speaker 1>or the afternoon watching YouTube videos of like may Angelo

0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:34.800
<v Speaker 1>or Nikki Giovanni or James Baldwin or Beyonce or Laura

0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and Hill and just like watch them in interviews or

0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:38.920
<v Speaker 1>watch their art or in cage with their art, and

0:44:39.040 --> 0:44:42.600
<v Speaker 1>remind myself that like they've been through shit too, and

0:44:42.680 --> 0:44:45.319
<v Speaker 1>so they've been through shit and we're able to overcome shit,

0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:47.879
<v Speaker 1>and so like, so can I and what can I learn?

0:44:47.920 --> 0:44:53.240
<v Speaker 1>What nuggets of wisdom can I gain from them? Affirmations

0:44:53.320 --> 0:44:57.880
<v Speaker 1>rewiring your brain? So you know, it's not about positive

0:44:57.880 --> 0:45:01.000
<v Speaker 1>talk or toxic positive talk. It is that when I

0:45:01.000 --> 0:45:03.759
<v Speaker 1>talk about, you know, keeping your brain in a compassionate

0:45:03.800 --> 0:45:09.000
<v Speaker 1>space to be. So you know, if I'm gonna say, oh,

0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:10.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna use this.

0:45:10.520 --> 0:45:11.400
<v Speaker 2>My nose is too.

0:45:11.239 --> 0:45:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Big, or I hate my nose, my nose is ugly,

0:45:14.520 --> 0:45:17.239
<v Speaker 1>then I need something to counteract that, which is my

0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:20.000
<v Speaker 1>nose is beautiful, or my nose is perfect. The way

0:45:20.000 --> 0:45:23.000
<v Speaker 1>it is, So when those negative thoughts come up, you

0:45:23.160 --> 0:45:27.800
<v Speaker 1>have you have at your fingertips the affirmation to rewire.

0:45:28.600 --> 0:45:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Re wiring is it just gonna happen without active engagement.

0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:36.959
<v Speaker 1>So the negative talk isn't just gonna disappear. You're gonna

0:45:36.960 --> 0:45:40.200
<v Speaker 1>need to replace it with something else. And so sitting

0:45:40.239 --> 0:45:42.200
<v Speaker 1>down and like, what are what are the constant things

0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:45.400
<v Speaker 1>that you're always telling yourself, those negative bad things? What

0:45:45.560 --> 0:45:47.960
<v Speaker 1>is the inverse of it? Can you have those at

0:45:48.000 --> 0:45:52.640
<v Speaker 1>your fingertips? You know I am if you're like, I'm

0:45:53.280 --> 0:45:56.480
<v Speaker 1>such a failure at this, at this thing, whatever it

0:45:56.520 --> 0:46:00.640
<v Speaker 1>is you in versus I am always learning and I'm successful.

0:46:01.080 --> 0:46:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Even before you are successful, say I am successful, Even

0:46:03.920 --> 0:46:05.719
<v Speaker 1>before you have the thing that you want, say it,

0:46:05.760 --> 0:46:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Say the thing that you're becoming, and speak into that

0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:11.400
<v Speaker 1>because all the time where you spend your energy is

0:46:11.440 --> 0:46:12.560
<v Speaker 1>what's going to manifest.

0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:14.080
<v Speaker 2>So you spend your energy saying that.

0:46:14.080 --> 0:46:16.759
<v Speaker 1>You're a failure, that your nose is ugly, that you suck,

0:46:17.040 --> 0:46:19.799
<v Speaker 1>that you're like, then that will be what but blossoms.

0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:21.680
<v Speaker 1>But if you can spend your time talking about the

0:46:21.680 --> 0:46:24.440
<v Speaker 1>things that you're becoming, the spaces that you see yourself

0:46:24.480 --> 0:46:26.399
<v Speaker 1>and the things that you want for your life, then

0:46:26.440 --> 0:46:29.759
<v Speaker 1>you just you start to pivot towards that energy. And

0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the last thing I'm going to offer you is, you

0:46:31.920 --> 0:46:37.680
<v Speaker 1>know an exercise that I think really helps support in

0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:41.440
<v Speaker 1>knowing that you're lovable. And it's a visualization exercise that

0:46:41.480 --> 0:46:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I learned from one of my theater teachers, Peggy Petit,

0:46:45.280 --> 0:46:48.759
<v Speaker 1>and I've taught it myself and it's actually in my

0:46:49.280 --> 0:46:52.200
<v Speaker 1>stage show ho Church that I'm doing this fall, and

0:46:52.239 --> 0:46:54.040
<v Speaker 1>so I'll do it with you now because we're talking

0:46:54.080 --> 0:46:56.000
<v Speaker 1>about how to love yourself, and this is one of

0:46:55.760 --> 0:47:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the tools that I use to remember and to know

0:47:02.360 --> 0:47:04.600
<v Speaker 1>that I'm lovable, and so I will share this with

0:47:04.680 --> 0:47:08.520
<v Speaker 1>you right now. You can consider this like a meditation

0:47:08.719 --> 0:47:15.000
<v Speaker 1>in case you're like theater shit, It's like a visualization meditation,

0:47:15.360 --> 0:47:18.319
<v Speaker 1>if you will. Also, I am recording this from home,

0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:22.400
<v Speaker 1>and it is spring, so you may hear some birds

0:47:22.520 --> 0:47:26.800
<v Speaker 1>chirping in the background. Allow it to kind of build

0:47:26.840 --> 0:47:30.200
<v Speaker 1>out the ambiance for our meditation.

0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's go now.

0:47:32.239 --> 0:47:34.799
<v Speaker 1>If you are driving, you don't want to pull over

0:47:34.880 --> 0:47:39.319
<v Speaker 1>for this. If you are on the subway or on

0:47:39.360 --> 0:47:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the train, you know you don't have to close your eyes.

0:47:43.200 --> 0:47:44.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to offer you to close your eyes, but

0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:48.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, ideally you can maybe if you need to

0:47:48.560 --> 0:47:50.680
<v Speaker 1>save this, pause here and save this from when you're

0:47:50.719 --> 0:47:53.680
<v Speaker 1>by yourself. But girls, sometimes we are never by ourselves.

0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:56.839
<v Speaker 1>So wherever you are is totally fine. But just don't

0:47:56.880 --> 0:48:03.279
<v Speaker 1>be driving. If you are comfortable, close your eyes and

0:48:03.480 --> 0:48:08.479
<v Speaker 1>only go as deeply into this as feels good to you.

0:48:09.200 --> 0:48:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, in hall and exhale, in.

0:48:21.800 --> 0:48:33.760
<v Speaker 4>Helle and exhale as you keep breathing.

0:48:34.719 --> 0:48:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I want you to think about someone who loves you well,

0:48:39.000 --> 0:48:45.520
<v Speaker 1>living or past, parent, grandparent, partner, bestie, teacher, coworker, pet truly,

0:48:45.560 --> 0:48:51.680
<v Speaker 1>no wrong answers, just someone who loves you well. Think

0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:59.040
<v Speaker 1>about what they look like, what they smell like, what

0:48:59.200 --> 0:49:01.520
<v Speaker 1>is their voice sound like?

0:49:06.000 --> 0:49:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Now? What does their love feel like? Warm?

0:49:12.840 --> 0:49:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Safe, honest? How do they show their love? Forehead kisses,

0:49:24.520 --> 0:49:31.280
<v Speaker 1>tight hugs, words of affirmation, saving you a plate of food?

0:49:33.960 --> 0:49:42.799
<v Speaker 1>How do they show their love? Can you, in your

0:49:42.920 --> 0:49:49.800
<v Speaker 1>mind thank them for the way they love you?

0:49:51.680 --> 0:49:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Can you, in your mind.

0:49:54.760 --> 0:50:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Let them know you love them? And what does that

0:50:02.480 --> 0:50:07.880
<v Speaker 1>love between the two of you feel like? Hold on

0:50:07.920 --> 0:50:11.320
<v Speaker 1>to that feeling, hold on to it, dight.

0:50:13.200 --> 0:50:14.200
<v Speaker 2>And now.

0:50:15.320 --> 0:50:19.960
<v Speaker 1>See yourself. It could be yourself right now, It could

0:50:20.000 --> 0:50:22.960
<v Speaker 1>be yourself twenty years ago, twenty years from now, see

0:50:23.000 --> 0:50:29.160
<v Speaker 1>some version of yourself. No wrong answers, and however you want,

0:50:31.440 --> 0:50:32.359
<v Speaker 1>give yourself some.

0:50:32.440 --> 0:50:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Of that love.

0:50:38.960 --> 0:50:47.600
<v Speaker 4>Breathe.

0:50:49.520 --> 0:50:54.880
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna inhale and on an exhale as genuinely as possible.

0:50:55.200 --> 0:51:01.000
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna say out loud, I love you ho. Okay,

0:51:01.080 --> 0:51:04.040
<v Speaker 1>whatever comes up for you is fine. Okay, it could

0:51:04.040 --> 0:51:06.520
<v Speaker 1>be silly, It could be whatever comes up for you,

0:51:06.560 --> 0:51:07.280
<v Speaker 1>it is fine.

0:51:07.640 --> 0:51:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Are you ready? All right?

0:51:09.640 --> 0:51:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Inhale and ex heal, I love you ho again inhale

0:51:20.880 --> 0:51:24.600
<v Speaker 1>and exhale, I love you Ho.

0:51:26.880 --> 0:51:28.720
<v Speaker 2>And one more time, baby in hell.

0:51:31.520 --> 0:51:41.240
<v Speaker 1>And exhale, I love you Ho. And whenever you're ready,

0:51:42.840 --> 0:51:48.120
<v Speaker 1>gently open your eyes and you can say it to

0:51:48.160 --> 0:51:55.880
<v Speaker 1>yourself again. Let's inhale and exhale, I love you Ho.

0:51:58.320 --> 0:51:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:52:00.360 --> 0:52:04.440
<v Speaker 1>So, as you move through your days, as you move

0:52:04.480 --> 0:52:08.120
<v Speaker 1>through your life, when things get hard and rough and tough,

0:52:08.200 --> 0:52:13.840
<v Speaker 1>when you find yourself beating yourself up or not being compassionate,

0:52:13.880 --> 0:52:18.839
<v Speaker 1>where your mind just feels heavy and burdensome, come back

0:52:18.840 --> 0:52:23.880
<v Speaker 1>to this. Remember the people who love you, remember what

0:52:23.920 --> 0:52:29.640
<v Speaker 1>their love feels like, and then see yourself and give

0:52:29.719 --> 0:52:34.239
<v Speaker 1>yourself that love. You can simply go I love you O,

0:52:34.640 --> 0:52:37.680
<v Speaker 1>or I love you, whatever your name is, I love you, Brandon,

0:52:37.719 --> 0:52:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I love you.

0:52:39.280 --> 0:52:39.879
<v Speaker 2>I love you.

0:52:39.960 --> 0:52:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Say that, say that to yourself and it might be

0:52:43.560 --> 0:52:46.480
<v Speaker 1>hard to believe it again. This is not about believing it.

0:52:46.520 --> 0:52:50.840
<v Speaker 1>That will take time. But you know that you're lovable.

0:52:51.719 --> 0:52:55.280
<v Speaker 1>And if you ever need a reminder, hear my voice

0:52:55.640 --> 0:53:00.360
<v Speaker 1>reminding you you are lovable. I would never lie to you.

0:53:00.360 --> 0:53:06.240
<v Speaker 1>You are lovable right now as you are. You are loved.

0:53:06.560 --> 0:53:10.600
<v Speaker 1>You are so so deeply loved. I do not say

0:53:10.640 --> 0:53:17.200
<v Speaker 1>that with any kind of exaggeration. You are so deeply

0:53:17.280 --> 0:53:19.560
<v Speaker 1>loved and you have not even met all the people

0:53:19.640 --> 0:53:21.640
<v Speaker 1>in the world who are gonna love you yet.

0:53:21.680 --> 0:53:22.080

<v Speaker 1>and professional and other messy things.

0:55:18.920 --> 0:55:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Let's take a listen to.

0:55:20.600 --> 0:55:24.319
<v Speaker 1>A clip from last week's Hey Everybody. Most he came

0:55:24.360 --> 0:55:27.879
<v Speaker 1>before was five times not with me, so we set

0:55:27.920 --> 0:55:30.880
<v Speaker 1>a new record. He usually fucks my throat when he comes,

0:55:31.120 --> 0:55:34.480
<v Speaker 1>so hard to know the amount. He's back in the morning.

0:55:34.680 --> 0:55:37.000
<v Speaker 1>He does this in my bed while he's at work

0:55:37.120 --> 0:55:40.600
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote watches straight porn with headphones, but he gives

0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:45.000
<v Speaker 1>me verbal directions sometimes and uses hands on the back

0:55:45.040 --> 0:55:48.359
<v Speaker 1>of my head. Also calls me fag sometimes because I've

0:55:48.400 --> 0:55:52.440
<v Speaker 1>asked him to controversial I know, thinking of asking him

0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:55.520
<v Speaker 1>to say good boy after each time I swallow.

0:55:57.040 --> 0:55:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, hello, patron.

0:55:59.160 --> 0:56:05.759
<v Speaker 1>Uh wow, dope, get it. What will I address here,

0:56:05.800 --> 0:56:09.360
<v Speaker 1>which is to say, multi orgasmic is great? I actually

0:56:09.400 --> 0:56:12.239
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of dudes can have Well, I guess

0:56:12.280 --> 0:56:15.920
<v Speaker 1>you're considering multi orgasms the amount of times he comes,

0:56:16.280 --> 0:56:19.160
<v Speaker 1>because I can probably only come once or twice depending.

0:56:20.360 --> 0:56:22.239
<v Speaker 2>I ain't come a five times. I don't know about that.

0:56:22.440 --> 0:56:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Have I ever come five times? I mean, we'd take

0:56:24.680 --> 0:56:26.319
<v Speaker 2>me a minute, but I have.

0:56:26.520 --> 0:56:29.600
