All of my guests are anonymous, 16 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: So for this week episode, I thought that we switched 17 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: it up a little bit. UM. I didn't know about 18 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: this topic until I met my guests and she expressed 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: to me how it's been very painful for her to 20 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: have sexual in the course. And I thought this topic 21 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: was intriguing because I know after a long day, either 22 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: I want to drink or I want to bust a nut. 23 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: So with that being said, please tell us a little 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: bit about your experience with sex. So sex for me, um, 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: just to preface this with my sexual history actually having sex, um, 26 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: my parents did speak a lot about it. It was 27 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: always uh no, don't even think about doing that. So 28 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: anything that I did learn about sex was through my 29 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: health class and high school friends who are having which 30 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: is not the best teacher. Yeah, friends who are having sex, 31 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: and porn actually to believe it or not, which I 32 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: knew later on. I was just like, oh my god, 33 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: this is terrible. Right. But the first time I actually 34 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: had uh sexual intercourse with penetration, um, well pagional penetration, 35 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: i should say, was when I was twenty one. I 36 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: did it with one of my friends at the time, 37 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: which I figured it was safe and cool. Um. And 38 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: one thing that I had remembered from just previous conversations 39 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: with my friends is that they would all say, oh, yeah, 40 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: it hurts at first, but it would feel better the 41 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: you know, the longer you do it. So you know, 42 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: he's you know, doing his thing, and I'm just laying 43 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: there and I'm like, when does it start to feel better? 44 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: So it was paying for pretty much about the whole 45 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: It was just it just felt like I just felt 46 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: like there was something inside of me. There was nothing 47 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: feeling good. It was just like it was just it 48 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: just felt like a lot of friction and rubbing where 49 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: you Yes, I was, and I know that's like a 50 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: big thing for a lot of women. It is more 51 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: painful if you're not wet, So I know I was 52 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: definitely aroused, like I wanted to do it, but it's 53 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: just feeling like, so did you tell him that it 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: was painful? And maybe we need to like no, see, 55 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that I've learned throughout 56 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: my journey with my partners is just to be more memunicative. 57 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: But um no, I didn't tell him anything because I thought, 58 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: you know, this is my first time. It's supposed to 59 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: be from your friends, that the first time is supposed 60 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: to be hurt, right, Yeah, But yeah, that whole time, 61 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: I was just kind of like laying there and then 62 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: when he finished, I was just like, oh, that's it. 63 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: I kind of don't want to do this again. Um 64 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: So after that, I actually didn't have sex for a 65 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: really long time because I was like, well, if that's 66 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: what it is. I don't want it um, you know. 67 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: And then with my next partner, it was kind of 68 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: like the same thing. But then I thought, okay, well 69 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: he's a little bit bigger. It's definitely gonna another thing. 70 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: I felt like my limbs were being torn. It hurts 71 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: so much, and he barely had anything and it was 72 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: just a tip and I'm like, yeah, I like walk 73 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: us through. So it was so painful because I know, 74 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: like when I'm in pain, like my stomachs are hurt 75 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: and I get the swend, like I feel like I 76 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: got up like yeah, I mean, so with him again, 77 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: it just felt like my twisshoe walls are going to rip, 78 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: like that's what it felt like. It hit so much 79 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: and oh my god, yeah, it just felt like a 80 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: ripping like I felt like I was being ripped open. 81 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: And then when he was like fully inside, I just 82 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: felt like full like I felt. Did you tell on 83 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: the stock um after a while, yeah, I mean, because 84 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: it's just kind of embarrassing to for me to trying to, 85 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, have a connection with your partner and you 86 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: have to stop every few minutes or seconds. And then 87 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: after while, I was just like, no, I can't do this, 88 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: So did you ever went to the doctor or After 89 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: years and years and years of dealing with it, I 90 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: finally went to my going to collegees and I was 91 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: just like, you know, I have a question, you know, 92 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: and sex doesn't feel good to me. So I actually 93 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: went to two doctors. One doctor um, when she was 94 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: examining me, she was like, oh, your muscles rushed strong. 95 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: I was like okay. She was like, you know, that's 96 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: that's good for the man, but it's not so much 97 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: good for you. And basically what she meant that I'm 98 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: like super super tight, like I'm really small down there. 99 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: And she suggested kind of like doing exercises to stretch 100 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: them out, so using like dilators and things of that nature. 101 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't really want to stretch 102 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: it right, because I mean I kind of just always 103 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: considered having loose Jana is a bad thing, but maybe 104 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: for me maybe a good thing. So but none of less, 105 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: I didn't try. I was like nah. And then I 106 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: went to another doctor, which I feel like she was 107 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: a little bit more thorough um, and she actually told 108 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: me that my uterus was slanted, so she was like, 109 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you would have to when you do 110 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: have intercourse to have them go at an angle so 111 00:05:51,839 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 1: towards my left side, because she was like a hook. Yeah, 112 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: so maybe someone was a little bit more sense, but 113 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: she was just like yeah, because otherwise he's hitting your 114 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: uterus and that's but yeah. So then I was just like, okay, 115 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: maybe so with So the next time I had InterQuest 116 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: with my same partner, we tried it at you know 117 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: how she said, at an angle, and it did help, 118 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: like it wasn't as uncomfortable, but I still wasn't feeling 119 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: any pleasure. It was just have you ever felt pleasure? Oh? 120 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: Not not by a penetration, so obviously when you receive 121 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: head and stuff. Yeah, because it's not like something that's 122 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: actually corn. Yeah. The only time my climax is by 123 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: Clear's actions. So um, So I think this is so 124 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: funny because like I've been normally my guest for like 125 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: almost a year now, and I was so intrigued by this. 126 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: So I started doing research and I was looking at 127 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: the girl. I found a doctor for you, and I 128 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: was doing research and it was a video on YouTube 129 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,119 Speaker 1: and we talked about this. Um this woman the doctor 130 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: like stick the cue tip or something to her and 131 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: she was going crazy. It's crazy because I thought it 132 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: was just me. I was like, damn, something's wrong with me. Great, 133 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: Like I'm not going there's a lot of women like yeah. 134 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: I didn't really know it was a thing until that conversation. 135 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: Until I saw these Cupid I was like, oh, wow, 136 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: there's really a thing that there are women who just 137 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: don't enjoy sex. Now, the woman that was basically crying 138 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: by the doctor putting a cue at my situation is 139 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: not like that, mind you. When I get pap smears, yes, 140 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: it's the most uncomfortable thing ever. And you know, I 141 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: can stand the pain going through sexual in of course, 142 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: but it's just like I just don't feel anything. It's 143 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: like there's no sensation down there at all. So have 144 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: you thought about experience and other partners, like other women? 145 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: And the reason why I asked because I always feel 146 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: like when I do speak to like my lesbian friends, 147 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: they always tell me like that's how I know I'm 148 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: not into men because the ship hurts, It don't feel good. 149 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: They don't do nothing for me. And of course you're anatomy, 150 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: like you're gonna get wet because you're excited. Your body 151 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: can't help what it likes, but it's just like ship, 152 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: I want to sucking what's a nut? Like? Yeah, So 153 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: I actually did end up having sex with a woman, 154 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: and not because like I was going through something where 155 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: like you know, forget these man I'm not, but it 156 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: was actually like a real connection, right. Um, just like 157 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: super quick backstory. In high school, I kind of saw 158 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: myself being attracted to women. Well, I would just pay 159 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: attention to them a lot more, and I was like, 160 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: why am I looking at these girls as like why 161 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: am I like observing that girls? And like I see 162 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: it pretty Goo'm like, oh, she's really right. Yeah, so 163 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: that's what I thought. So I was like, you know, 164 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: maybe it's because you know, I admire the body of 165 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: a woman because I am a woman. Also, I was 166 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: super artsy in high school, so I was like, you 167 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: still are artsy. Well it's not as much now, but 168 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: you know, at the time, I thought like, oh, maybe 169 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: it's just because I'm super into art and I love 170 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: drawing the female anatomy. So seriously.

So I don't know how 191 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: the universe ended up getting us together. But you know, 192 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: when you think what you are or you are what 193 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: you think. So when you think about seven certain things, 194 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: it just comes to you because you put it out 195 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: there in the universe, specially if you're speaking about it. Yeah, yeah, 196 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: so we ended up just like you know, hanging out, 197 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: kicking it in her dorm room. And then one day, 198 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, like we just ended up. We ended 199 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: up making out, and so we didn't have sex at 200 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: that moment. We didn't have sex like years later, but 201 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: I was just like seeing freaking fireworks and I remember 202 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: going home that night thinking like, oh my god's gay. 203 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: What's going I was just like this is so exciting. 204 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: But you know, fast forwarding to like my sexual experience 205 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: with her, I would say she gave me the best 206 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 1: sex ever. Like I will say that the day I died, 207 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: whether we end up together in the future or not, 208 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: if I'm married to a man or whatever. That was 209 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: she you know, it was the best sex. And it 210 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: was because there was no penetration, Like it was a 211 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: lot of like yeah, and that's and for me, that's 212 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: what gets me off and that's what makes me climax. 213 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: So it's unfortunate.

Yes, the same for me, Yeah, 337 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: because I had an aunt manger. She was a grown woman, 338 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: but she got pregnant and the man kind of like left. 339 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: So my parents always used that story on me, like 340 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,239 Speaker 1: look what happened to your aunt herself? And I'm just, oh, 341 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: damn sh it, Like you know, I don't want to 342 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: be like that. So I would definitely say, you know, 343 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: when I did have sex, I think that would always 344 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: be in the back of my mind. Um, along with 345 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: knowing like ship, this ship is going to hurt, and 346 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: I know I'm not going to enjoy this, right, So yeah, 347 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: they're definitely there were some negative thoughts, um, but I 348 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: think for the most part, a lot of the men 349 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: that I've dealt, but they were really nice. You know. 350 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: There was never anyone who wanted to like just choke 351 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: me out or you know, do some crazy shit. I mean, 352 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 1: I think some of them did get a little bit 353 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: too excited and they were acting like point stars that 354 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: I'd be like, what are you doing?

I'm not sexually involved with 661 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: anyone right now, just because, um again, I want to 662 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:47,479 Speaker 1: stop that, um, that habit of just having someone there. 663 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to be more meaningful. I want 664 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: to have a connection with someone. I think it's very 665 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: important that you're taking accountability for that, Like you want 666 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: to have it because that's what you want, and not 667 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: because you just want to be doing it, Like you 668 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: really want to find something that's meaningful or have not fine, 669 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: but have something that's meaningful mind you, Like, you know, 670 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: I went through this phase of just having people, you know, 671 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: someone that's only used for that. But you know, because 672 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: the connection is not there, I don't feel anything mentally 673 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,439 Speaker 1: or physically. So what is some advice that you would 674 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: give to your younger self. I would say, you know, 675 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: definitely make the decisions regarding sex for me. Yeah, not 676 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: because or I want him to like me or you know, 677 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: I want him to take me seriously, make me his 678 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: girlfriend and things like that. You know, I when I 679 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: first had sex, I did it because well, yeah I 680 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: wanted to, but also I thought like, well maybe if 681 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: I did this, I could make me his girlfriend and 682 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: he didn't. You know. Um. Also, one thing that I'm 683 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: working on is communication. It's super super important to communicate 684 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 1: with your partner the things that you do like and 685 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: the things that work for you, and you both can find, 686 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,240 Speaker 1: you know, some piece in the midd where it's enjoyable 687 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: for both of you. You know. Um, also go to 688 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: therapy because you know, it's it's it's huge, and I 689 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: you know, lately I've been speaking about therapy. This is 690 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: gonna be eppisode. I think I'm on four or five, 691 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: and I been speaking a lot about therapy, and every 692 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: guest has spoken about therapy like therapy is so needed 693 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 1: right now, especially in the in the world that we 694 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 1: live in, and it's hard trying to find a therapist 695 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: y'all because I'm still looking. But no, yeah, I mean 696 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,479 Speaker 1: this definitely helps. And like you saw how much like 697 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: anger and emotion came out of me just by talking 698 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: about it. So I imagine if I can talk to 699 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: like a professional about this, I think it would help 700 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: a lot more, you know. So the last question is 701 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 1: what if some advice you would give to our listeners, 702 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: which is mostly women that's going through either a similar 703 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: situation or been through this situation before, um with not 704 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: enjoying sex, And I think we're not enjoying sex. But 705 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: I also think that because this is my first time 706 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 1: here a lot about your story and just like you know, 707 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: I can see why your your views or the way 708 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 1: they are when it comes to sex. So like, what 709 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: would you give some advice to somebody that's been in 710 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 1: a similar situation with you and they don't they look 711 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: at sex. I'm not gonna say negative, but they just 712 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: they don't want no parts of it. Like you have 713 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: to do a lot of digging within yourself. Like one 714 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: thing that I do not like I journal, and there 715 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: are times when I'm like, I try to push certain 716 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: thoughts or memories back because I don't want to deal 717 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,359 Speaker 1: with it. But you have to confront it. So I'm 718 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: gonna say, you know, talk to someone if you can't 719 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: afford therapy, or if you don't if you're not ready 720 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: for therapy, talk to a trusted friend because you can't 721 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: reveal what you don't hear. You can't heal what you 722 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: don't reveal exactly. And you know, this was kind of 723 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: like therapy, but no, I never know. I didn't. I 724 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: didn't know that. Yeah, so and I didn't even think 725 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, you really have to dig and find 726 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: out why you feel this one. Yes, you're going to 727 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: confront these demons that you don't want to face or 728 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: sometimes theems that you don't even know where they're. Um. So, 729 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,919 Speaker 1: I think definitely therapy, just writing things down, just doing 730 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:26,280 Speaker 1: your research, you know, finding um, you know, a doctor 731 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: as well. Again, for those who are going through like 732 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: the physical part of it, that you find that you're 733 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: not enjoying sex, don't be afraid to speak to your 734 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: doctor because I've been experiencing this for years since I 735 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: was like, what I say, nine teams twenty and I 736 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 1: just saw I just spoke to my most years. Yeah, 737 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,439 Speaker 1: and I just spoke to my doctor like two years 738 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: ago about it. So when you gotta make your next appointment, 739 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: I have to know. I actually do have to make 740 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: all my appointments now. But yeah, you definitely you can't 741 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: be afraid to talk to you because that's what they're 742 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,720 Speaker 1: there for. You're not. Ain't a fifty out of copay girl, 743 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: you know that can be some Seriously, like, you gotta 744 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: make your doctor works. And that's one thing that I 745 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: do now. Like I asked someone tonal questions, I bring 746 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: up questions as every single question.
