Speaker 1: First impressions, he told me he works in TV. He's

33
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: a news presenter. But then like he basically started to

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: like tell me that he had like five different girlfriends

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: and they were all really good friends with each other

36
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: as well, So like all of the girlfriends really good friends.

37
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: Like he hangs out with all of them and also

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: hangs out with their other boyfriends. They're basically in a

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: friendship group of all of them going out and getting

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: with each other.

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: Are you in an open relationship?

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

43
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've never been in any some vocal things. Before

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 6: I met this girl, so she's sort of polly or

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 6: I guess we're polyamorous. And before I'm at her and

46
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 6: we did our thing, I would think the same with

47
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 6: that word, I'd be like, cults, let me through, I'm

48
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 6: going to see you know, that's gress weird.

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 5: And then you do it.

50
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 6: And in theory and in practice is very different. If

51
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 6: you think about in theory, you're like, we're it's going

52
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 6: to be constant sex and it's going to be emotions

53
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 6: and like we're in practice. I feel it's a lot

54
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 6: more ethical, it's a lot more communicative. You make a

55
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 6: lot more friends. So the people that we both see,

56
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 6: me and my partner, we're all friends, right, So like

57
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 6: I text a guy that she sees more than she

58
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 6: does because she's shared texting and we're kind of mating. Wow,

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 6: like one sometimes hang out the three of you, mainly

60
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 6: me and him, Like, just be a nice guy.

61
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: It really reminded me of that show World Wild Country,

62
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: because that show was my first obviously, I know, like

63
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: in the seventies there was all these hippie.

64
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: Communes where everybody was shagging.

65
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: But like I wasn't alive then, and I remember thinking, God,

66
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: that's mad, and that's kind of what When he was

67
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: talking to me, I was like, well, so he was

68
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: so not the kind of person that if you met him,

69
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: you wouldn't think that he was like that person.

70
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 6: My friends joke that I've got five girlfriends have at

71
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 6: one point, I was saying, five five girls.

72
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: How much do you text all of your life? How

73
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: much are you communicating with them when you're not with

74
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: some of them?

75
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 6: Definitely every day, multiple, like a lot throughout the day,

76
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 6: some of them a couple of times a week, depending

77
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 6: on how much should I see them At that point

78
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 6: also got to say that a lot of the girls

79
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 6: would buy and therefore they see each other quite a lot.

80
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 6: And we have a sort of little group of us

81
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 6: which is like gree nice and ry and one of them.

82
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: Do you ever have like group sets?

83
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

84
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: That was like I just asked him if he wanted

85
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: like milk, yeah, tea.

86
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. So where's guys meet? Or did you match on field?

00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: We met in a field. It was really romantic. It

92
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: was like pride and prejudice.

93
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: And then then you're all your twenty eight date lover is,

94
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: how did you?

95
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: And yeah, exactly as mister Darcy, he lived in Soho, right,

96
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: which like being from London, you never really like meet

97
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: people that live in Soho because it's kind of like

98
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: it's just really small, so so it means that you're

99
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,039

Speaker 2: no Nan. Yeah, ro was you a fan of strip club?

122
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: So we've been to one?

123
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: I went to one once on holiday, was with all

124
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: my friends and like, sorry, it wasn't more of it

125
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: wasn't actually strip club.

126
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: It was a sex club.

127
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: It was like more of a sex show club and

128
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: like I just remember being like what the fuck is

129
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: going on? Like there was a guy on stage putting

130
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: a glass off his ass, like I just remember, like

131
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: I was like nineteen.

132
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know how to process this.

133
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: I'm way too naive.

134
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 3: But it was amazing in terms of like all the

135
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 3: people there. It was such a like I suppose a

136
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: liberal place. It was like so much fun.

137
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: But yeah, strip clubs, I've actually never gone to, like

138
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: a proper strip club. I don't know why. In my head,

139
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: I feel like it's quite seedy or something.

140
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: I think because so many strip clubs are like four men,

141
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean. I'd love to go

142
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: to strip club where it's like for women, like Chippendale's Vibes,

143
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: where it's like all the ships are men. But yeah,

144
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: like what you were just saying, like those kinds of shows,

145
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: I love seeing stuff like that.

146
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 2: That's sick.

147
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm not sure if I want to go

148
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: to a club that's like essentially four men, would you

149
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: think it's.

150
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: A red flag?

151
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: If a guy or a girl was going to strip

152
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: club like.

153
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: Regularly occasionally, if they went, I wouldn't think it was

154
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: real flag. If they went a lot, if they went

155
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: on their own, I would find that a bit.

156
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm actually I have to say, I'm loving this

157
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: insight into like how other people live. I'm like, wow,

158
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: my god, this are so fascinating, Like I think so

159
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: but the only thing I do think right?

160
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: And I felt this like with this guy in particularly,

161
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: it's like, how do you actually like have time to

162
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: be seeing five different people?

163
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you live in Soho? Like how you are enough money?

164
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: It's living Soho, but you're dating five different women. I

165
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: just I sort of couldn't quite wrap my hand.

166
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: Do you know what? I'd love to meet the women?

167
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 5: Yeah?

168
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: I love to do want I want you to go

169
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: and meet them and record it.

170
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: I would love that because I'd love to know what

171
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: they are like, these women. So from looking at his profile,

172
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: he looks like the kind of guy who shags around

173
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: but isn't necessarily polyamorous.

174
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: Sorry, I would not have got that from his profile.

175
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, he's like a weather

176
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: man or something. He still holds them he's swimming some

177
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: fresh water lake or whatever, and.

178
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: It looks a bit like a right wing Tory. Yeah,

179
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: yeah he kind of does.

180
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: And like, you know what, when you send me this,

181
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: I only looked at his photos and that's why I

182
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 3: was shocking. You're like he's got five girlfriends. And then

183
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: I just scrolled in and realized that his pronaiins are

184
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: he him you your mom.

185
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: Ah, those sexy parties come at me if you're funny

186
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: and hot, but you don't like sex parties.

187
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: I hate sex parties, and you know what is mad?

188
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I went to a sex party last year

189
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: for this documentary I was making about sex parties.

190
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: And then one of the things.

191
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: He said was like, oh, I didn't know whether or

192
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: not to say this to you, but I was actually

193
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: at the sex party that you were at, and my

194
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: friend was like, oh, look there's Grace Campbell and I

195
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: was like, that's kind of weird.

196
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 5: We were actually in the same party.

197
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 6: We were at the same kenning Kin's party where you

198
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 6: went with your film crew.

199
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: Were you at that party?

200
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 6: I remember chaining to go and she's like, oh, yeah,

201
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 6: I'm not.

202
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: Gonna lie that.

203
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: Maybe that I felt quite self.

204
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 6: Contra but that's I would say. I'm self consciously like

205
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 6: I didn't do anything of that. I was on that

206
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 6: same sort of VIP floor.

207
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, did you go with your partner?

208
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 6: No? I went with a girl who actually didn't make

209
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 6: it because she was on a period.

210
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 7: Okay, sorry, sorry, can I just say the way he

211
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 7: just swallowed the word period is so weird?

212
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: He you and your film crew? We you say, like

213
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: you and you're a film girul. I was like what,

214
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: I'd say, what's going on?

215
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: Is this?

216
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: That man not on TV? And okay, so.

217
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: She was on.

218
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: So I'm so fascinated.

219
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: I only heard of Killing Kittens sex parties like last

220
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: month because I am clearly like ten years.

221
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: Mind everyone, but like, is that not the really explain

222
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: what that is.

223
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: It's the kind of like it's the most not necessarily

224
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: high end, but it's very heterosexual like a lot of

225
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: the other big sex parties are really like queer based,

226
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: and Killing Kittens is like really straight and also quite

227
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: like middle age and like middle class.

228
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: And he hosts them as well.

229
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: He hosts his own sex parties.

230
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 7: And he what are they called? I didn't ask that.

231
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 7: I think they were.

232
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: More like house sex parties and like basically like you

233
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: know her saying he's got like five girlfriends and they

234
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: will have like different boyfriends and they will like get

235
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: with each other.

236
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: I think they just have orgies.

237
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's like an a fishing one where you're right, yeah, wait,

238
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 3: what's going on?

239
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like it's like you thought you were going

240
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: around for a Eurovision party and then suddenly like everyone's shagging.

241
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 5: Talked about probably amateur a long time. I feel like spokesperson.

242
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 5: What else do you do?

243
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,720

Speaker 5: Hobbies?

246
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 6: Speaking of the Chinese, because I lived in China for

247
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 6: a year, super social, so I like sort of the

248
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 6: so I do organize parties, sort of sexy parties, even

249
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 6: though I'm not really into them myself. I quite like

250
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 6: organizing the I'm quite a hosting.

251
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: Wow.

00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 5: We do have these like around the place.

253
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: That's not fun, that's all a bit more like what

254
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: I imagined would be my ideal sex party scenarios, like.

255
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 6: Twelve kind of a house part people and we're all

256
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 6: kind of we usually like this core group know each

257
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 6: other and then we bring friends that we know.

258
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: No sorry, one thing I want to know about.

259
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: I know he said a lot there, but like does

260
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: he tell the airbnb people?

261
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: Well probably not, okay, and that's pretty I I do

262
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: that loads. I know loads of people that are just

263
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: like run an Airbnb and then have a massive party.

264
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: Who's cleaning that up? I know.

265
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: No.

266
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: I also him being like I don't enjoy sex parties,

267
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: but I love hosting them, said.

268
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: No one ever, Yeah, like what do you doing? Just watching?

269
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's just such a lie. He obviously loves sex parties.

270
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: He's mentioned them like three times at this point.

271
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: He should he should have just been a wedding planet.

272
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: I also have to say, like, this is when I

273
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: know that I'm like bored, because it gave me the

274
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: hearing myself ask him if he had any hobbies, because

275
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: that's the kind of chat that like, I'm like, God,

276
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: that is like the sort of Google what's a good

277
00:11:59,000 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: question to ask?

278
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: And that's it?

279
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: And that really that was when I was like, Okay,

280
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm slightly checking out here, and I was like, so,

281
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: do you have any or bees? It felt like I

282
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: was with like someone who's like trying to be a

283
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: cult leader, and he was kind of like trying to

284
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: hypnotize me into why polyamory is the only way forward,

285
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: and at moments I was like, gorgea making it sound amazing.

286
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: But then I kept like sort of blinking and being

287
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: like is this man like got me under a spell?

288
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 6: The way A very very monoglous friend of mine, No,

289
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 6: second before marriage friend when he first had his first son,

290
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 6: was worried when his second child was on the way,

291
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 6: was I'm scared that I can't love my second son

292
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 6: as much as I can love my first song. But

293
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 6: your capacity for love grows. So I think that's a

294
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 6: really good way to look at it, because I think

295
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 6: you can love more than one person, you love them

296
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 6: in different ways.

297
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: But I still think loving your kid is different than

298
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: being in law. You think, but the romantic partner, yeah,

299
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: I would disagree.

300
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 6: Really, yeah, yeah, I would say you have different things.

301
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: Really really deep soulmate level relationships with my best friends, right,

302
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: and I've got like different, very different relationships, and I've

303
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: got a lot of best friends, which is like this

304
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: ongoing joke in my family that like.

305
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: I have more best friends than anyone.

306
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: But I feel that's a different kind of love for

307
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: what I felt for my ex toy friends.

308
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 5: Do you know what I mean?

309
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't believe he compared loving like being polyamorous

310
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: to loving your children.

311
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what I have to say, Like

312
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: he went there and I was like, for a moment,

313
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 3: I was like, oh no, no, he is hypnotizing us.

314
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: No I know.

315
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 7: But also that is not a comparison. No, I'm sorry,

316
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 7: it's not the same. Like it's not the same at all.

317
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 7: It's a completely different type of love.

318
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: I just thought that was weird and I was like

319
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: he it was like he was like.

320
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: Slightly clutching at straws to like persuade me.

321
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 6: One of the good things I like about it is

322
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 6: that the sort of monogamous thing is like very foxed

323
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 6: in right's been there for centuries.

324
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 5: And it hasn't changed, whereas this is kind of like

325
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 5: you make your own works, is much more what humans

326
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 5: are about.

327
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 6: And then from that, I've just noticed sort of many

328
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 6: other sort of healthy things come from it, especially for

329
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 6: guys where jealousy insecurity are quite a big factor.

330
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,479
Speaker 5: Not talking lack of communication.

331
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 6: It really forces you to do that general communication is

332
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 6: a lot higher, especially for white English guy that's generally

333
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 6: not the case, where often you sort of build up

334
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 6: emotions and anxiety and it all comes out in one thing.

335
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 6: And so I don't know, I think it's healthy in

336
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 6: that respect because I feel like monogamy is often based

337
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 6: on stuff that isn't really human to us. It's based

338
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 6: on what a guy wrote in the Bible years ago,

339
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 6: or whatever, you know, was set up for the patriarchy.

340
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: He's really going in trying to convince you, though.

341
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: He was hammering it very like it was kind of

342
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: always spoke about. And then it got to the end

343
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: of the day and I was like, we haven't spoken

344
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: about anything else apart from your polyamory. And he was

345
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: telling me about like like his parents found out recently

346
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: that he was like polyamorous, and then you know, at

347
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: the beginning, they didn't really like his dad didn't really

348
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: get it. But then after a while, it's fine. He

349
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: had his birthday and he took all of his girlfriends

350
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: to his birthday with his parents and they were all

351
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: there having his birthday dinner or his girlfriends.

352
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: Well, opened your family about it.

353
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 6: Well, I didn't have the conversation over the phone. I

354
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 6: did it in person, and that was quite difficult because

355
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 6: my dad's eyebrows were like off his face just talking

356
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 6: to him, my mum and I could just see out

357
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 6: of my periphery Dad's eyebrows going on.

358
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: That's so Dad, that's so like a dad thing to do,

359
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: not say anything but react facially.

360
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 6: But then when they met her, it was so natural

361
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 6: because they met her with my other partner because their friends.

362
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 6: It was like my birthday dinner and I brought other

363
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 6: friends and then they were there as well, and we'll

364
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 6: just hang out as a group.

365
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 5: And that made him much more.

366
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: Is because it's basically like your group of friends, like

367
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: a pace, right, and it's not like and that they

368
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: arrived together, the two girls because their maids, and they

369
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: were like, oh right, well, they're so distinguished.

370
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 5: All the ideas that this is weird.

371
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: Isn't that mental? That is mental?

372
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: He was hypnotizing me on how amazing polyamory is, and

373
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: then I was kind of challenging him on some of it.

374
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 5: So I went on the.

375
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 6: Day the other day with a girl who is married

376
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 6: but the opening of the relationship has a husband who

377
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 6: has the same name as me and also the same

378
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 6: nickname as we. But anyway, we had a lot of common.

379
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 6: We got on really well, and we met very quickly,

380
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 6: just for a quick drink, just to be like. And

381
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 6: afterwards she was like, I liked you too much. I'm

382
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 6: not here for this, right, I'm here for like you know,

383
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 6: I'm here. I'm not here for that. I'm not And

384
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 6: I was like, interesting, because I can do that as well.

385
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: But I don't know if I could do that.

386
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't have those feelings when I'm.

387
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially at the beginning of opening up a relationship,

388
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: I would freak out.

389
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 6: I think that was me, Yeah, because the rules would

390
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 6: be obviously, this is purely physical.

391
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 5: This is not so I don't know it's also.

392
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: But also I don't know if I don't know, is

393
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: anything ever purely vision if it's happening more than once.

394
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: I think one night Stan can be purely physical. And

395
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: I think I've literally had seven people before that. I've

396
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: not even boken a word.

397
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: To wait, stuff the stuff, the cliff grace, what how

398
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 3: does that even work? Where were you and like what

399
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 3: were you signing to them?

400
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: No, I just feel like like I, you know, it's happened.

401
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: It happened to me last summer and Marseille, Like I

402
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: was in a club and I just like looked at

403
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: this guy and then we started kissing like each other,

404
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: and then we you know, left and we went and

405
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: had sex. And so my friends call it my like

406
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: a maturist. And my friends say, like, I have this

407
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: like sometimes very rare.

408
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 2: Now it used to be more frequent by you.

409
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: Used to have this like ball like a b U

410
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: l L, like a like the animal like ball mode

411
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: where I'd be out and I just would suddenly be

412
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: like I need to have sex, and so I just

413
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: like look at someone and I'd be like, let's have sex.

414
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 3: You're like a mine. You're like that, that's what you

415
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: should be for alloween. You should dress the mine like

416
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 3: a sex mine.

417
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: And I bet I would shag.

418
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: I bet I would shag another mine.

419
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: Carry on the cliff.

420
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: But I had to have ongoing sex and like physical

421
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: intimacy or someone.

422
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 2: I find it's hard for that to be Like I.

423
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 6: Think you can have really good sex with someone that

424
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 6: you're purely sexually. I think I'd like that before where

425
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 6: I for some reason, I know they're really hot and

426
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 6: they're really nice, but for whatever reason, I have not

427
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 6: had that. You know, I don't massively fancy them or

428
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 6: I'm not really intoent And I know that for some

429
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 6: people would be like a juxtaposition, but for me that's happened.

430
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 6: I've been a bit like why do I fancy It

431
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 6: doesn't matter?

432
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: That?

433
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: Is he not like kind of explaining your exact issue

434
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 3: with being in a parlor.

435
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think it was actually more a

436
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: humble brag. I think he was just trying to be

437
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: like I went on a date with this woman who

438
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: was like, do you know what, I like you too much?

439
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? I like you too much? So would you see

440
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: him again?

441
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: No solid answer now, nothing personal. Also, he's fine, he's

442
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: got five girl friends.

443
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's believing. He's doing grand next time.

444

Speaker 1: On twenty eight dates later, I mean films, dancing, and

00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: Not sure that is, but I mean a lot of

447
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: these things.

448
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:02,840
