Speaker 1: for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter. Thank you. Subject.

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: I have never seen it or touched it. Dear Stephen Shirley.

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: I've been in a long distance relationship with a great

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: guy for the past six years. We live an hour apart,

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 1: so it's not far at all, and we see each

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: other regularly. When we spend time together, it's wonderful and

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: we have a lot of sex to make up for

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: the times we're apart. Although we have a lot of sex,

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: it is never the romantic experience that I crave because

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: I've never seen my man naked from the waist down.

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: I have never touched any part of his body from

19
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: the waist down. He will let me rub on his

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: chest and that's it. If I try to touch below

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: his waist, he immediately grabs my hand. I used to

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: ask him why, and he would say that it's his

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: goal to please me and that I should just relax

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: and let him take over. That is so weird to me,

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: and it ruins the whole experience for me. As soon

26
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: as we're done, he puts his boxers back on. He

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: has never just rolled over and passed out like my

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: ex is used to do. Another thing that's strange is

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: we have never taken a shower or a bubble bath together.

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: I have no problem sacheting around with no clothes on

31
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: in front of him, and he enjoys it, but he

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: is always covered up. I know you are wondering why

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm bringing it up now if I've been dealing with

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: it for six years. Well, he's been talking about taking

35
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: our relationship to the next level, so now I have

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: to make some decisions about him and our future. I

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: don't know if I can live with prudish man for

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: the rest of my life. We are both in our

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: late fifties, so I am not sure what he's hiding

40
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: down there. I should be able to love on his

41
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: entire body and enjoy a little shower action occasionally. If

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: this is his only flaw that I may then I

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: may be overthinking things. What do you think? Is it

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: strange to you? How could I open up a discussion

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: about it? Please advise. Wow, this whole letter is a

46
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: little weird and strange to me. The fact that you've

47
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: been in a long distance relationship for the past six

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: years is weird and strange to me. The fact that

49
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: you think in our way qualifies as a long distance

50
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: relationship is a little weird and strange to me. And

51
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: the fact that you say you have a lot of

52
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: sex but you have not seen it or touched him

53
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: below the waist but you want to and he won't

54
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: let you. That is super weird, super strange. So I

55
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: don't know. At first, I was thinking, you know, maybe

56
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: he's married, maybe he's not that into you. But then

57
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: you say, he's been talking about taking your relationship to

58
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: the next level, So now you have to make some

59
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: uh decisions about him. I mean, could he be like

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: super super shy or something. I don't know. I mean,

61
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on down there that he

62
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: won't let you see or touch. I mean, you know,

63
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: I've heard about women who want to, you know, to

64
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: be intimate with the lights off and things like that,

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: but usually men don't care, so you know, they walk

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: around naked, and you know they're very comfortable with their body.

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Steve's a man. I'm gonna pass

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: this one over to him. Maybe he sees something in

69
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: here that, um, you know. I mean, I was gonna

70
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: say that, Um, maybe you know he's disproportionately small or something,

71
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: but you have a lot of sex, so that couldn't

72
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: be it and you would know that. So I got it,

73
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: all right, all right, So I'm gonna I'm gonna person,

74
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I can't say it. I'm gonna pass it

75
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: on over to Steve right now, go ahead, I got

76
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: it for you. Go ahead, baby. Before I answer this letter,

77
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: i'm gonna put a disclaim out. If you have small

78
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: kids in the room or in the car, put their

79
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: headsets on and let them do something else, because this

80
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: is an educational letter and I would be using educational terminal. Okay, Yeah,

81
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: if you don't want your children to hear words like this,

82
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: then I'm asking you gently as a father and a grandfather.

83
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 1: Now my grandkids get to hear this type of stuff

84
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: because Papa don't fix a damn thing in his house.

85
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: I stay here, y'all, don't chip in and lot rent

86
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: you And oh, by the way, congratulations to love Ezra

87
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: because he's walking now. I saw a video Funnies all right,

88
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: so here we go. I've never seen it on tested

89
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: this Sherlan Steve. I've been a long distrelationship with a

90
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: great guy for the past six years. We live our parts,

91
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: so it ain't far at all, and we see each

92
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: other often. Our part is not a long distant relationship.

93
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: It's a long drive, but it ain't a long distance.

94
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: It take a minute to get down, but it's not

95
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: long distance. Long distant relationships mean it's hard to see

96
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: one another. But you said in your ladder that you

97
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: see each other often, and when you do, you have

98
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: a lot of sex together, making up from your time apart.

99
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: But you say it's never the romantic experience that I

100
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: create because I've never seen my man neked from the

101
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: waist down dune. Why why could this week? Well, I

102
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: already know what the problems and I'm gonna share it

103
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: with you. He lets you rub on his chest, but

104
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: if I try to touch below his weight, he immediately

105
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: grabs my head. And I used to ask him why

106
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: and he would say, it's his goal to please me,

107
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: and I should just relax and let him take over.

108
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: Your man is in his late fifties. Your man has

109
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: a peno implant. M. That's what it is, all right, Steve?

110
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: Hold on, we have part two of your response coming

111
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: up at twenty three minutes. The subject of today's strawberry letter,

112
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: I have never seen it or touched it. And that's

113
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: what you call a good ass cliffhanger. You're listening, all right, Steve,

114
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: Come on, let's recap today's strawberry better subject that I

115
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: have never seen it or touched it. Now, when we

116
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: left off, yeah, we left off. Is in a long

117
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: distant relationship. That's an hour way. That ain't long distance.

118
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: Sherely pointed that Outum, you just take you a longer

119
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: time to see each other, but that ain't long distance. Uh. Well,

120
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: y'all have a lot of sex because y'all been a

121
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: pardon you don't see each other. And when you do

122
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: have sex, it's not the romantic experience that you crave

123
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: because in your late fifties, you've never seen or touched

124
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: his private part from the waist down. Every time you try,

125
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: he grabs your head. Ah, now let's stop right here.

126
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: What the hells? Okay? Who? Who do that? What? Man

127
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: you haven't a romantic time with? And you reach for it?

128
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: He goes, Oh, no, many, what you're doing? What you do?

129
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: What you're doing? What you're doing? What you're doing? What

130
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: you do that? Don't do that? Who do that? What? Man?

131
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't? What? Man? Do this? And now I got

132
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: two solutions for you. The cliffhanger I left with because

133
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: he in the late fifties. The reason you've never seen it,

134
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: the reason never touched it? The reagon what all this hill?

135
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: Because your man has peno implants and that's it. Hyeah

Speaker 1: to kill Wait there's more. Yeah, we all easy shocking revelations. Yeah,

Speaker 1: kids out to rule. Now you're gonna have to do

140
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:12,160

Speaker 1: the relationship to the next level. Steve. Uh. If she

149
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: tries to touch it, he immediately grabs her hand. Uh Huh.
