0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>in front of me yet. I was like, I was like, good,

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>give me a second.

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I have to get out of here. I'm gonna go

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>get my kids from daycare soon. Oh I'd hate to

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 2>keep you well, I think that, Yeah, they'd probably hate

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 2>that as well. Anyway, this is us gun cut. I

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 2>know that how down and dirty, spiny, little sexy, saucy

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 2>number where we do our absolute best to answer all

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 2>your deep, dark and burning questions.

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>We've got some crackers today. But before we get into that,

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you know we always talk about something going on in

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 1>the world.

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, actually, no, no, no, What I want to talk about

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>first before we get into that is what you just

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 2>said five minutes ago?

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh God, what should I just say? I've said so

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>many questionable things in the last five minutes.

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I was asking Britt how her dating life is going,

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 2>where it's at? You know, what's been happening you Have.

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>You gotten off the lounge Brittain in last week?

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Have you gone on a date? Because you know that

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I live my single life vicariously through Britt. And then

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I said, she doesn't want to date, she just needs

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>a friends with benefits?

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I said, I I said, how do people This was

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>actually it. I said, question, how do people find like

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>a good solid friends with benefits, Like.

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>A good, solid, long hard friendship. Friends with benefits are

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>too far?

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because like I mean, there's a multitude of friends

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>with benefits that you can have. But I was like,

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>where do these people get because I've got friends that

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>have had like long term, solid, respectable, loving friends with benefits,

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>like they really have a connection.

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, But it's always it's always tricky because someone usually

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>catches the feels.

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, I can't even get to the point to cash

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the feelings.

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Like where do somebody you find the person and then

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 2>lay down the groundwork at the start and say you

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.679
<v Speaker 2>know that I like you, I respect you. You're never

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 2>going to be the person that I end up marrying

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>or being with us the rest of my life, but

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>I want to be with you for the rest of now.

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Until you're done. It's a genuine question I did.

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>If anybody else has the answers, please slide into the

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 2>DMS because yeah, look Britney searching or do.

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>You know where it came from? So we get so

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>many questions come in that are related to friends with

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>benefits and the problems that they've had and how long

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>they've been friends with benefits for, And I'm like, holy smokes,

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>where are all these people getting these long term, amazing

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>friends with benefits? Like one girl wrote in a Friends

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>with Benefits was like her friends with benefits. She'll come

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>over and he's runner a bar, he's made a dinner,

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>he gives it back massages like it's extreme. It is

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>like a beautiful relationship without the strings attached.

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, But then my question is is there a possibility

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>in that situation that he's just more invested than she is,

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Like he probably hasn't been able to verbalize that he

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>has feelings, so he just treats her amazingly hoping that

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>she's gonna one day turn around and be like, hey,

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:24.239
<v Speaker 2>I have feelings too.

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Just'll never know.

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 2>We will never know the answer to that. I like

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 2>just going back on my memories of my friends with benefits.

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 2>The best friends with benefits I ever had is a

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>guy who I dated many years ago. To say name,

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>I was not gonna say, okay, okay. Firstly, he's no,

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to leave clues because people will figure

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>it out.

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Leave clues.

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, bendyar. He was on the Bachelor, but not

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 2>on my season.

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>What you haven't ever told me this?

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I have I dated a guy who was on

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the Bachelor or Bachelorette. Obviously he wasn't a Bachelor, he

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 2>was on the Bachelorette.

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I am genuinely trying to I've obviously blocked that out

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>from trauma.

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>That was obviously not mad and a season.

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>You have to give us another hint.

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm not giving you a fucking season, Brittany, and

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I used to call him my Wednesday night guy because

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 2>I would on a Wednesday night. It wasn't it was

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 2>never a weekend relationship. It was never good enough to

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 2>be a Friday night or a Saturday night. We both

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>just knew on a Wednesday we'd go and get sushi,

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>we'd have some great sex. We had a great time.

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 2>I would have a sleepover, I'd get up in the morning,

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 2>I'd go to work, and things were great. I am

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 2>sugar to the core for like six months.

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, just tell me this. Who was his bachelorette?

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 2>That is the same as the season. Anyway, let's get

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>into the next thing. When I wanted to start an end,

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 2>we don't.

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Just this is like the sex with the leg thing.

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't just drop these bombs and then scurry off.

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Look, it was it was Oh god. I think I

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>actually started to get a bit of feelings after because

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>it was a long time. It was like six months.

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 2>I think I actually started to get feelings. But in retrospect,

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get feelings. I just had nothing else going

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 2>on in my life.

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Fake phantom feelings. I call them fff yeah, but phonetically,

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>phonetically it's fff yeah ff yeah.

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>So I didn't really like him when I actually unpacked it.

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I do. He's a great guy. I like

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 2>him as a person, but they didn't actually have romantic

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>feelings for him, but the romantic feelings started to come

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 2>when I started to realize he didn't have romantic feelings

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 2>for me either, so I was like, well, why don't

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>you like me? Like what's wrong with me?

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>And that is so standard.

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:35.599
<v Speaker 2>And then it went to a bit.

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 1>As soon as they don't like you, you want to

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>be with them, not you. I mean, like everyone, we

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>always want what we can't have.

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 2>And then the other thing that then happened was my

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 2>car broke down at his house and he lived quite

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.919
<v Speaker 2>a fair way away, so then I just left my

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 2>car there for ages and couldn't be bothered to go

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 2>and get it because it was broken down, and it

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 2>stayed there for like a month, and eventually I went

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 2>and picked my car up, and then I hadn't seen

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 2>him for a month, and then we both just agreed

0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 2>it was kind of done.

0:05:58.920 --> 0:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Is he in Sydney now?

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Do you run into him?

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I genuinely don't think we've had this conversation because I

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.480
<v Speaker 1>am I'm really shook and I cannot, for the life

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>of me think of who it could be. And I

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know how I feel about the fact that you've

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>obviously made a conscious decision to keep this from me,

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>even though you just assume you've told me in the past.

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, I've told your Jimmy before. No, no, no,

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 2>not Jimmy. I'm pretty sure I match with him on

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Tinder once and we both did. Okay, all right, let's

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>get into what the actual conversation is about. We want

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 2>to talk to you about another woman who's been on Tinder.

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 2>She was very creative. There is a woman in UK now,

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>her name is Fanny Blom. She's nineteen years old, and it's.

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Her name, really, Fanny, Fanny Blom. I love that it's

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 1>going to be a dating story and the name's Fanny.

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:43.719
<v Speaker 1>That's very mature of me.

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.039
<v Speaker 2>That is really fucking a mature of me. But that's okay,

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm here for it. So Fanny Blom was on Tinder

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 2>and she decided that she would invite all of her

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Tinder matches, five Tinder matches, out to the same nightclub

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 2>at the same time.

0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 1>For the purpose of online speed dating.

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, she created her own mini speed dating. But what

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 2>she did is she told them all that it was

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 2>her birthday and that she was going to be there

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 2>with a group of friends. So then when they arrived,

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 2>they didn't think it was weird that she was spending

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 2>time with other people, so she rocked up to the

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>nightclub with a fucking balloon and a party hat.

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't even her birthday. This is brilliant.

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't her birthday. So she says. This is what

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Fanny had to say about the whole thing. It was

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 2>easy for them to find me because I had a

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 2>birthday hat on, and it was easy to get free

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>drinks with a birthday had on. Two this.

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Fanny, live your best life.

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I think in total there was only five of them

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 2>who showed up because I had literally invited so many

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 2>different tin matches. I couldn't be sure because then I

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 2>had to go back and find their tin pictures to

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 2>try and figure out who was who. But I met

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 2>five really nice guys that night. One of them was

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 2>really attractive, and I think we're going to go out

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 2>on a second date. None of them knew that they

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 2>were there on a multiple date situation.

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I have so many questions. Okay, this is what I

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>do think about. Put yourself in that position, not when

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you've invited every single online dating map toward dinner, but

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>if I've gone to a party, if I've gone to

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>someone's birthday and I don't know anyone else there, which

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>is what's going to happen with these guys they've turned up.

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Don't you start to talk to people and say, hey,

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 1>how do you know Fanny?

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Well she literally said this. Throughout the night, Fanny would

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.680
<v Speaker 2>excuse herself from the group so that she could go

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>and flick through Tinder messages so that she could liaise

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 2>with other dates who had shown up at the nightclub.

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 2>So we think she kind of said, like, it's not

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 2>a date, it's not a one on one. I think

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 2>she was like, Hey, I'm at this club with some

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 2>friends for my birthday. Come to the club. So she

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 2>made it sound a lot more casual, but really she

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 2>was there by herself, just going on multiple Tinder dates.

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.080
<v Speaker 1>She's a time efficient woman.

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>And she said, I don't think anyone realized and this

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 2>is what I think we need to do for you.

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's set up a speed dating situation at the Royal Hotel.

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Just bey, just say, just tell everybody that's my birthday.

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Give me your hinge, give me your.

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Actually, speaking of that, I downloaded a different dating app because.

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Now she's on every single one. Well, you're like not funny.

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Too soon, It's always too soon. Yep. I'm just really

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>getting out there, spreading my wings.

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 2>But on many dating apps are there? And are you

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 2>on in all?

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, I'm not on every single one. I'm now on three.

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay. I feel like if you're on three that you're

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.679
<v Speaker 2>covering all bases of anyone who is single in this area.

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, I always thought that there'd be different people on

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 1>different apps, that's what. Well, no, they sort of are.

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 1>So I ran out of one, so.

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 2>So I went on.

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like a better download another one, And there've

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>been different people so far. So And the thing is,

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 1>when if you guys are online dating, you'll know if

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.200
<v Speaker 1>you're not. I'm going to tell you when you when

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>you join up to a dating app, when you're a

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>new profile or a new customer, a new whatever. I

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 1>think the algorithm shows you to more people and it

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 1>puts you out there more. So when you're new, it

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>goes bonkers, right. You get you get love hearts and

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 1>compliments left front and center. And I say compliments because

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 1>that's a new thing online. Now you can send a compliment,

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.559
<v Speaker 1>which is I haven't seen that before until I downloaded it.

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>This weekend.

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 2>And also we all know how uncomfortable compliments make you.

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm an awkward person anyway. But I have been getting

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>compliments Laura, which is this is pretty shocking. I've been

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>getting a lot of compliments that are about the podcast,

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 1>so coming from male listeners that are writing things like

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I also love love or you yeah, but like, no,

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 1>my point's not about that. My point's like, are there

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 1>male do we genuinely have a bunch of male thirty

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>year old listeners in the eastern beaches of Sydney or

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>do you think that they're sitting at home with their

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>flatmates that are women that are like, oh I know

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 1>that podcast say this? So do you think these people

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>are genuine listeners, these men or do you reckon?

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, considering all the things we talk about, period

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 2>chatam going down on your girlfriend, I would I would

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 2>think no, no, it's coming from the FLA. And also,

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 2>not only do I think this subjectively, but because I

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:48.959
<v Speaker 2>can actually see the data and see how many men

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 2>and women listen to this podcast. Two percent of our

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 2>listeners and men they're all on bubble that none of

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 2>those are real listeners. But let's get in though, answering

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 2>your questions. Guys, you have sent in some crackers. We

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 2>have picked three for today's episode. There is one in

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 2>particular that I read it and I had feelings, and

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 2>then I felt something else, and then it was a

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 2>lot going on.

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 1>But I were they phantom fake feelingsf No phantom feelings FPF.

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.439
<v Speaker 2>They were real feelings. And I think that we need

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 2>to talk about this. But from not from the perspective

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 2>of the question that's been asked here we go. Just

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:25.439
<v Speaker 2>made that really confusing.

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, let's hear it.

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.199
<v Speaker 2>I went on a date with a guy and things

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.960
<v Speaker 2>ended up getting a little bit steamy in the car park.

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 2>All was going good. We ended up going down on

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 2>each other. However, he ejaculated pretty early on. He also

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 2>wasn't good at pleasuring me. Now, my big problem is

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 2>that his penis is small. Should I continue talking to

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 2>him even though I know that I won't be satisfied

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 2>in the bedroom or should I just overlook the fact

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 2>that he couldn't make me orgasm that time as he

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 2>has a small penis. Thanks in advance for your help.

0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Additional note, he is a really sweet, caring guy and

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 2>has the personality of what I am looking for.

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>So did they have sex in the car, or because

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:08.839
<v Speaker 1>it makes it sound like she just said they just

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>went down on each other, I.

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Think they had sex. Oh well, I think they tried

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 2>to have sex and he prematurely ejaculated.

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Right, Okay, so the question is.

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 2>But also I think she was turned off by the

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 2>size of his penis, So maybe she didn't even really

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 2>give it a crack. She's just assuming that she won't

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.200
<v Speaker 2>be sexually satisfied because she doesn't find his penis to

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the aesthetic that she likes.

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so my first initial thought is, look, let's give

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the guy the benefit of the doubt. You don't have

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of room to move in a car. In

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the back of the car you use, you cannot use

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 1>your tricks, you cannot do your usual maneuvers that you

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>might do whether you had an adequate amount of space

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and time.

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 2>It's like, sexually a terrible place to have sex.

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's not like the movies movies made with Magala. Great.

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I think you need to give this guy the benefit

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>of the doubt. There is no way of knowing by

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the size of his penis what he is actually like

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>in the bedroom. I am a pretty big advocate of

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>size does not equate to pleasure. If this guy has

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>all these other things going for him and he's amazing

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and you think he's awesome, that's going for it. Give

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>it another well. But if, for whatever reason inside you

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>feel turned off by something, then it is hard to

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 1>recover from that. And that could be that could be anything,

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 1>anything could turn you off about some of the way

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>they treat the waiter, whatever. If there's something inside that

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't feel right, I think it's hard to get over that.

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.080
<v Speaker 1>But if you are just basing this on the fact

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 1>that he prematurely ejaculated, I mean, girl, first of all,

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 1>let's take that as a compliment. You're obviously smoking hot,

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.680
<v Speaker 1>he got very excited. There's only one way to take that,

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and that is like, well, you know my job's done.

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Look how hold I am, I'm spicy, I am fire.

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Take that. I think you need to give an he'll

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>sip turned on. I think you need to give him

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 1>another WORL What do you reckon?

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:48.679
<v Speaker 2>I had a lot of feelings about this, and I

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>think I kind of want to go down a different

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>path firstly, and then come back. I agree with everything

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 2>you've said. I do think that if you're turned off

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.839
<v Speaker 2>by something. You can't force yourself or will yourself to

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 2>have that sexual chemist connection. Will yourself or willy yourself.

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.439
<v Speaker 2>It's not there, okay. But my thing is, And what

0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I really wanted to unpack with this question is I

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.599
<v Speaker 2>think that society has told us that it's okay to

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 2>judge men on their penis size, Like society has told

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 2>us that only men with big penises can make us satisfied.

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 2>And a man with a big penis is what every

0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>woman wants, you know. And we have been consciously and

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 2>subconsciously conditioned to think that a big penis is better

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>and a small penis is not worth your time. If

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 2>a man was to talk about a woman's revolver and

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 2>vagina in the way that we talk about men's penises,

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 2>we would be fucking outraged. If a guy was to say, oh,

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to date that girl because her labbier

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 2>was so long, or her labbya was uneven, or she'd

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 2>had two kids so like her vagina was looser, we

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 2>would be disgusted and repulsed at him in arm. We

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 2>would be furious, you know. But I think that there

0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 2>is for some reason it's more acceptable for women to

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 2>criticize the size of men's penises, and because so much

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 2>of a man's manhood is literally tied to their penis,

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 2>it's such an emasculating conversation. But also what you said, Britt,

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 2>and I fully wholeheartedly agree with you, penis size is

0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.000
<v Speaker 2>not synonymous with pleasure. I have dated guys with huge

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 2>penises and they were terrible in bed, And I have

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 2>dated guys with very small penises and they were very

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 2>good in bed. And it's because sometimes the guys with

0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 2>the small penises have had to work harder. They do

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 2>have to, that's it, and they've got more tricks and

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 2>more things up there asleep, you're upside.

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Down, you're inside out, you're hanging from the ceiling. But

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean that, you know.

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I just think like, if you're going to write someone

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 2>off from a sexual experience that you had in a

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 2>car that probably didn't go to plan by the sounds

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 2>of things you've been out on a day, maybe you'd

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 2>had a few drinks as well, there's lots of limiting

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.960
<v Speaker 2>factors in this situation that would make me think he

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 2>hasn't performed to his best regardless of penis size.

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, I just think that exactly that, Laura, But maybe

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 1>you just don't like him that much, because if you

0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 1>were that infatuated, and I guess it's early stages, so

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>if you were lusting that much, I don't think that

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 1>would matter to you that much. This is what I think.

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 1>So I think maybe there's more going on if you

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 1>can be like, yeah, you know it's not for me,

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>and maybe it's not for you, and that's cool as well.

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 1>But I think, definitely give this guy another. Go go

0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 1>on another really nice date because you said he's great,

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you said there's so nice and love. Go on another

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and don't go into the date thinking about it and

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 1>worrying about it and wondering about it. Just go and

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 1>have a really nice time, have a nice se in it,

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 1>have some wines, and then if you feel that way

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 1>inclined and you want to sleep together at the end.

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Of the day, do it. Experience it for what it is.

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>And then after that, I think you can make another

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>decision where you want to keep seeing someone. But I

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>just just don't purely make it on the size of

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 1>their penis.

0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I like what you said there about like

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 2>not putting so many expectations on it, like regardless of

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 2>whether you end up together or you don't end up together.

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Like it's two early days to make those sort of assessments, truly, Like,

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 2>it's way too early in a relationship. And if you

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 2>do feel inclined to give it another go, then go

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 2>for it. But I think this kind of goes for everybody,

0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>and I've been guilty of this in the past as well.

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 2>It's okay to have a preference. It's okay to have

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.560
<v Speaker 2>a particular penis that you think is aesthetically pleasing. You know,

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 2>we've all seen penises where we've been like, that is

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful penis, and then we've seen penis where we're like,

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.879
<v Speaker 2>that's just not the it's not my jam, it's not

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.919
<v Speaker 2>what I would normally like. But I think completely judging

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 2>someone as being a potential partner off their penis is

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.359
<v Speaker 2>pretty like one dimensional way of looking at a person.

0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 2>And I think like their penis size and what their

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 2>penis looks like in totality is not who that person is,

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.119
<v Speaker 2>and it's not what they can provide you sexually. I think, like,

0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 2>as we all know, people have got mouths and hands

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 2>and all these other parts of their body that they

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:36.880
<v Speaker 2>can do wonderful things.

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.040
<v Speaker 1>With Yeah, it's such a small part of what matters.

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean small.

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Part that was fun for choice of a better word,

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Now I was a.

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Slip of a tongue. Obviously, it is a small part,

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:48.960
<v Speaker 1>but it's it is such a small part of what

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 1>matters in a relationship. And i'd let me tell you,

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.399
<v Speaker 1>if someone that has dated all walks of life, it

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>is really the bottom of the list for what you

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 1>look for in a partner. That's what I think.

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:01.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get into question number two.

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, question number two. My work friend is an absolutely

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.479
<v Speaker 1>terrible parker. The other day she scraped one of our

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 1>colleagues cars when she was pulling out of the car park.

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I saw her do this, she saw me see her

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:18.159
<v Speaker 1>do this.

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Convoluted. Yeah.

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 1>She messaged me later on and said, please don't say anything.

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I know you saw what I accidentally did. Now there's

0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.199
<v Speaker 1>been a big all office email go out to every person,

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.440
<v Speaker 1>and the person's who car was is absolutely livid and

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 1>devastated that this has happened, and no one left a no,

0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 1>No one's owning up to it. Obviously, should I tell

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 1>her or do I just stay out of it? And

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.119
<v Speaker 1>pretend I saw nothing. I have a level of guilt.

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 2>This is tricky. Oh, I don't know how to answer this.

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.480
<v Speaker 2>All I know how to that doesn't come to my podcast.

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how to answer your fucking question.

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:52.920
<v Speaker 1>But this is a tricky one.

0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>No. I think this is super tricky because at the

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:59.200
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, like, it's not your responsibility to

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 2>make your friend and do what's morally and ethically right,

0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 2>but you have been dragged into this. You have been

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 2>like like you're an accomplice to her crime basically, like literally,

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.639
<v Speaker 2>not even basically like literally you're an accomplice to her

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.680
<v Speaker 2>crime because you've seen it. But but yeah, you've seen

0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.879
<v Speaker 2>it go down, and then you're not being honest. I

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:21.639
<v Speaker 2>think it's worth going and speaking to your friend who

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:23.679
<v Speaker 2>hit the car, who knows that you saw them hit

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 2>the car, and say this has gotten out of hand,

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 2>like this is actually blown up until a much bigger

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 2>thing than what you or I thought it was going

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.919
<v Speaker 2>to be. I feel like you've put me in an

0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.439
<v Speaker 2>incredibly uncomfortable position, and I really think that you need

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:42.240
<v Speaker 2>to take ownership for this. That's where I think you

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.280
<v Speaker 2>should start. I wouldn't be going and just like telling

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 2>the other person. And because my issue is and this

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 2>is kind of how I approach a lot of stuff

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 2>in life. And maybe it's not maybe it's not the

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 2>best way all the time, but it works for me.

0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't like to get involved in drama and in

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 2>things unless I don't have a choice, and unless it

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:05.119
<v Speaker 2>is absolutely necessary. I don't really like making my life

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.440
<v Speaker 2>more dramatic or stressful than what it needs to be.

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 2>And that whole situation seems very, very stressful. You're going

0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.159
<v Speaker 2>to create a lot of conflict in the workplace. Not

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 2>you're not creating it, it's not your fault, but you're

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 2>going to be pulled down into it. And I think

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.080
<v Speaker 2>that So if you're okay with that, then sure, go

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:25.159
<v Speaker 2>and be the bigger person, go and tell everyone, and

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 2>be that person who's taking the right and moral high ground.

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know if I would have the confidence

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 2>to do that.

0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So, Laura, if you saw if you guys left

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:40.719
<v Speaker 1>the office today and you saw produce Akisha accidentally hit

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.680
<v Speaker 1>my car, scrape it, and then she drove off and

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 1>you saw it, what would you do? Would you tell

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:48.639
<v Speaker 1>me or would you go to her? Or picture it

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:48.879
<v Speaker 1>like that?

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what I would have done. I would

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 2>have straight away when someone said, hey, you need to

0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.160
<v Speaker 2>keep this secret, I would have said, it's not Keeping

0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 2>your secret is not my responsibility. And I think that

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.159
<v Speaker 2>that's where you've gone wrong by almost saying yes, I

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 2>will keep this secret and then going a couple of

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:05.640
<v Speaker 2>weeks and waiting for it to get out of hand.

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.720
<v Speaker 2>That's why the situation has exploded, you know what I mean? Like,

0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 2>so I guess maybe this is like, this is my

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 2>advice for the future. If somebody tells you that you

0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.440
<v Speaker 2>need to keep a secret that makes you uncomfortable, say no,

0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 2>because they don't have a right to make you keep

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:22.880
<v Speaker 2>a secret. And I really hate it when people say, oh,

0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:25.000
<v Speaker 2>i'll tell you this, but you can't tell anyone, and

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.040
<v Speaker 2>then they tell you something and keeping that secret completely

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 2>goes against your morals or against how you feel about something.

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 1>So I think that, yeah, you like, just don't tell me.

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Don't fucking tell me, Like, it's actually unfair to expect

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 2>someone to keep a secret that fundamentally glows against your

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 2>own personal morals. So I just think in this situation,

0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:44.639
<v Speaker 2>you have to figure out what you think what you

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 2>think is morally right, and also what you can live with.

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 2>And I think every single person in this situation will

0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:53.760
<v Speaker 2>probably behave differently. There'll be so many people who will say, no,

0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 2>go tell her, and there will also be people who say, oh, oh,

0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get involved.

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I yeah, I agree with everything said. I would probably

0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:03.360
<v Speaker 1>be just because of my conscious I wouldn't go run

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:04.600
<v Speaker 1>to her and tell her, but I would go to

0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the person that hit the car and I would just say,

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I really think you need to tell her. Like, think

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:10.399
<v Speaker 1>of if this was you, how shitty this is that

0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 1>you have to front up all this money that you

0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:15.440
<v Speaker 1>might not have because someone didn't have the guts to

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:17.440
<v Speaker 1>leave you a note. And I think what you could

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 1>do in this situation and what you could tell her

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.120
<v Speaker 1>she could do. Maybe she feels bad now, like too,

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I can't comford now it's been weeks, you know, or

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I've been a week. I've lied about it. I can't

0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 1>come forward now. Maybe you can go down the route

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 1>where you encourage her to just say, look, I'm so

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:33.280
<v Speaker 1>embarrassed by what I did. But I didn't have insurance

0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:35.280
<v Speaker 1>at the time and I panicked. But I've gone and

0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 1>got insurance now, And if you are happy to this

0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:40.719
<v Speaker 1>is so illegal, but if you're happy to like pretend

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>this is but if you're happy to pretend this has

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:44.880
<v Speaker 1>happens now, like I would love to do that. Maybe

0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:46.679
<v Speaker 1>you can say that because it is hard when when

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you haven't come forward with something.

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Also, if you're from Goo, please don't leave a

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 2>one star review.

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, not that I've ever done that, but

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to like get this poor girl to

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 1>admit to something and get her out of a tricky situation.

0:22:57.680 --> 0:22:59.359
<v Speaker 2>I agree with what you're saying as well, Britt, Like

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I think, because it's gone on for so long and

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:04.879
<v Speaker 2>it's turned into such a bigger situation, it's humiliating to

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:06.920
<v Speaker 2>admit that you did the wrong thing. Like, not only

0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:09.760
<v Speaker 2>is it embarrassing because you had the accident, but it's

0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:13.639
<v Speaker 2>humiliating to say, hey, I'm sorry that I didn't come forward.

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.320
<v Speaker 2>That was wrong of me. Like that would take such

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 2>a big person to not only admit fault for having

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.439
<v Speaker 2>an accident, but to actually admit fault that they didn't

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:23.920
<v Speaker 2>share it. You know that they were trying to be

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:26.760
<v Speaker 2>deceitful at the start, and the onus isn't on you

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 2>as the person who saw it happen. The onus is

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 2>on the person who ranged into the car, the person

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.639
<v Speaker 2>who was parking. But it's completely up to you and

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:35.960
<v Speaker 2>if you do decide that you want to tell that person,

0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:37.920
<v Speaker 2>if you do decide that you want to share the

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 2>information that you know, you're not a bad person for

0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:42.960
<v Speaker 2>doing that and it is not your fault that somebody

0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:45.480
<v Speaker 2>else decided to act badly and to keep it a secret.

0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I have had someone hit my car in

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:49.680
<v Speaker 1>the past and not leaving. I've had people leave noe brilliant.

0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I've had people that have hit it and run and

0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 1>it's it's so upsetting because it's like now I have

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 1>to front up all this money all this time, always

0:23:57.040 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>have to get it fixed because someone just didn't have

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the gut stowing it's right. So it's it is a

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:03.440
<v Speaker 1>shitty situation and I'm sorry you're in it, but like

0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 1>hopefully it resolves itself.

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not sure if we were any help at all,

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:07.879
<v Speaker 2>but we'll keep on driving.

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:10.199
<v Speaker 1>No, it's just an interesting one, isn't there. It's more

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:13.560
<v Speaker 1>about a discussion that one. It's a very deep moral discussion.

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, because there is a right and wrong, but at

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:17.320
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, the person who's written the

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:19.440
<v Speaker 2>question in is not in the right all the wrong,

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:22.199
<v Speaker 2>like they hadn't done anything wrong. Yeah, that's the big thing,

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 2>all right. Okay, the last question here is about the ick,

0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:26.679
<v Speaker 2>and I fucking love the ick. Well, I don't love

0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:28.200
<v Speaker 2>it when we don't love the ear, but I do

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 2>love conversations around it, all right. I have heard you

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:33.240
<v Speaker 2>guys mentioned the ick or the sudden ick towards a

0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:35.920
<v Speaker 2>partner on the podcast before. It's a feeling that I

0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 2>was not familiar with. Until six months ago. I was

0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 2>happily in a relationship with my boyfriend for a whole year.

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 2>We lived together. I guess you would say that we

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:46.640
<v Speaker 2>were relatively normal. We had a healthy sex life. We'd

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 2>have sex a few times a week spontaneously. You know,

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:51.359
<v Speaker 2>you get me. We were in a really good place.

0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Please do not think I am a shallow person, and

0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I do not mean to sound shallow or rude, But

0:24:57.359 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 2>for some reason, in the past six months, I've just

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:03.679
<v Speaker 2>had the serious ick towards my boyfriend. Nothing has changed,

0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:06.639
<v Speaker 2>he has done nothing wrong. I just cannot bring myself

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 2>to have sex with him. When he would try and

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 2>have sex with me. I just don't want to do it.

0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:13.879
<v Speaker 2>I no longer feel the need, the attraction, or the drive.

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I expressed my feelings towards him, and he was understanding. However,

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:19.760
<v Speaker 2>it got to a point where we were having sex

0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe once every couple of weeks. I still don't enjoy it.

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 2>We are now one point five years into our relationship

0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:28.520
<v Speaker 2>and I still have this immense feeling of the ick.

0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:31.240
<v Speaker 2>What do I do? Does this mean that I don't

0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 2>want him as my boyfriend? Pretty Much in every other

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 2>facet of my life, he is perfect. He gets along

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:38.600
<v Speaker 2>with my family. I have three brothers and he gets

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 2>along with all of them. They're all great friends. He's attractive,

0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:44.080
<v Speaker 2>he has a big friendship group. He's a trade and

0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:46.360
<v Speaker 2>he's local to my area. I think he and he's

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:51.359
<v Speaker 2>local anyway, very important. He lives locally, so it's all

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:54.919
<v Speaker 2>working out. Basically, she's gotten the ick, and she's had

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 2>the ick for what sounds like a year because she

0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 2>was dating him for six months. Everything was fine and

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 2>then bem got the eck.

0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Yep, you, I'm diagnosing you. You definitely have a case

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:04.880
<v Speaker 1>of the eck.

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:07.840
<v Speaker 2>You have chronic ick, girlfriend, Yeah, and the ick.

0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Is a tricky one. I don't know many people that

0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:15.320
<v Speaker 1>recover from the ick successfully. Could you do it for sure?

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 1>Could it just be a phase? Yes? But is that

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 1>But is that common?

0:26:19.560 --> 0:26:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Not so much.

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Usually the ick is a pretty big switch in the

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 1>way you feel internally generally speaking, Usually there's something that

0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:28.760
<v Speaker 1>has started it, like there is something that ignites that

0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 1>feeling in you. I don't know what it is for you.

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to say. Does this mean he's not the

0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 1>one for you? For me personally, I want to have

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.920
<v Speaker 1>an attraction. I think that if you can't think about

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 1>kissing your partner or touching them or being romantic with them,

0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 1>that's a really big thing for me. I'm definitely a

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:48.199
<v Speaker 1>physical touch person. So I think if you if there

0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 1>is something that is like repulsing you in your relationship,

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a pretty big red flag. And you did say

0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:57.680
<v Speaker 1>it's hard. There's so many other great things he gets

0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 1>along with my family and my brothers. That's brilliant. But

0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately that's not reason enough to stay in a relationship

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:06.040
<v Speaker 1>because you'll meet someone else as well if it comes

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to that point that is friends with your family. But

0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 1>you need to get to the bottom of what is

0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:12.640
<v Speaker 1>causing your ick.

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want to say I don't normally get on

0:27:15.240 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 2>this podcast and answer these questions with the answer I

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:21.200
<v Speaker 2>don't think you guys should be together anymore. That's a

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:24.000
<v Speaker 2>very very rare answer, I think, if anything, Britain, I

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:28.600
<v Speaker 2>usually avoid giving the answer of breakup because you want to.

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Be on both sides. You want to present two sides

0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:30.919
<v Speaker 1>of e yeah, and.

0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:33.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be responsible for a perfectly healthy

0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 2>couple breaking up like that's not We love love, we

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:38.520
<v Speaker 2>love love. We're not here for the breakups. We're here

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 2>for the makeups, okay, But you cannot be in a

0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:48.560
<v Speaker 2>relationship where for an entire year, an entire year, the

0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 2>thought of being sexually intimate with your partner discuss you

0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:55.879
<v Speaker 2>and you force yourself to do it anyway, Repeat that

0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 2>for me, like nobody. I mean, they are definitely going

0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:01.520
<v Speaker 2>to be time where you're not feeling it, where you

0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of you know, you know that when you actually

0:28:03.600 --> 0:28:05.280
<v Speaker 2>get into doing it, you're going to enjoy it, But

0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:07.960
<v Speaker 2>you can't be bothered because you're tired whatever. Plenty of

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:10.920
<v Speaker 2>those moments are going to happen throughout relationships, but a

0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:15.280
<v Speaker 2>consistent feeling of repulsion towards being intimate with your partner

0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:18.200
<v Speaker 2>for an entire year is not healthy. And I'm not

0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:20.399
<v Speaker 2>going to sit here and say that that's something that

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:22.679
<v Speaker 2>you should keep on working at or keep trying to resolve,

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:24.480
<v Speaker 2>because it sounds like you have been working at it

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 2>and you have tried to resolve it. The other part

0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:29.560
<v Speaker 2>of this, and I think, is something that we often,

0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 2>especially when we're dating someone who on paper, they're everything

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:36.920
<v Speaker 2>that we're supposed to want. It's okay to not be

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 2>with someone who ticks every single box. It's okay to

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 2>walk away from a relationship where you think, fuck, they're perfect,

0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 2>but I just wish I felt differently, do you know

0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:50.040
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? It's okay because sometimes there is a reasons,

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.560
<v Speaker 2>or there's something that we can't tangibly put into words,

0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:55.719
<v Speaker 2>or we can't grasp that there's one specific reason why

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:57.480
<v Speaker 2>we feel the way that we feel. But if you

0:28:57.600 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 2>have this overwhelming feeling that you're relateationship isn't right. You've

0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 2>felt that for over a year, Nothing that you do,

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I think is going to change that, and you can't

0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:06.720
<v Speaker 2>just then go.

0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:09.760
<v Speaker 1>And grasp its straws and tiny little reasons to hold

0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 1>on to for why the relationship could work. So like

0:29:12.280 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, the family thing, and if the time comes

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and you meet someone else, I'm sure they're going to

0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 1>get along with your family too. What the most important

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:22.240
<v Speaker 1>thing is is what's happening with you two privately at

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 1>home inside and I don't mean inside the home, inside

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:26.960
<v Speaker 1>of you, how you feel about your partner.

0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 2>And it's so.

0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Normal to like being long term relationships and you want

0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:32.640
<v Speaker 1>to have sex less. That's normal because you know, you

0:29:32.720 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 1>get tired, you get busy, you get used to each other.

0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 1>That all consuming sexual chemistry that sometimes happens at the

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 1>start of the relationship. It's normal for that to taper.

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>But what's not normal is to have a level of

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:45.840
<v Speaker 1>repulsion and revulsion totally for your partner.

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 2>And I think also with the ick like something that

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:50.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Britt and I have done a lot of

0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:52.480
<v Speaker 2>research into the eck, more so than what any normal

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 2>person should ever do into a dating phenomena, right, But

0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the ick is something that is very much based on

0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:00.760
<v Speaker 2>our intuition. It's based on our intern a feelings, and

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:04.120
<v Speaker 2>sometimes those feelings are very guttural and you can't necessarily

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:08.280
<v Speaker 2>pinpoint why, but your intuition is essentially your internal warning

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:11.840
<v Speaker 2>system telling you that there's something about the situation that

0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't like. And I'm not saying that in any

0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 2>way that there's something wrong with him as a person,

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:18.720
<v Speaker 2>but that internal warning system could just be this isn't

0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:21.320
<v Speaker 2>the person for you, you know, like maybe they do

0:30:21.520 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 2>something which makes you feel like, maybe he doesn't have

0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:27.760
<v Speaker 2>great personal hygiene. Maybe there's something about the way he

0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 2>lives his life that on a very day to day level,

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:33.120
<v Speaker 2>you're like, oh, it's like yuck. You know there's something

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 2>else there, but you just can't quite put it into

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 2>words or figure out what that is. There's so many

0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:41.000
<v Speaker 2>reasons why the ick happens, but when it does happen,

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 2>it is possible to get over it, but not if

0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 2>it's made a place in your relationship for over a year.

0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Like if it is stuck around and you have had

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:53.040
<v Speaker 2>the ick for longer, then you didn't. I think that's

0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:55.120
<v Speaker 2>when you really need to unpack why you staying.

0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Can you get over the year and move past it? Yes,

0:30:58.480 --> 0:31:01.640
<v Speaker 1>you can, you one hundred percent can if it hasn't

0:31:01.640 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 1>gone on for too long, and if you can pinpoint

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 1>what it is, and then if you can have an

0:31:05.080 --> 0:31:07.520
<v Speaker 1>open discussion about it and move forward. Like Lauridas said,

0:31:07.560 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's a hygiene thing sometimes. And when it happened

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.520
<v Speaker 1>to me, I didn't have a reason. I couldn't pinpoint it.

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.120
<v Speaker 1>It was just a whole feeling that I got and

0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know why, and for that reason, I was

0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:18.880
<v Speaker 1>never going to get past it. But some people can.

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 1>But generally speaking, psychologists say that if you have been

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 1>experiencing the eck for quite a significant amount of time,

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 1>then it is probably better that you break up, because

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 1>that is not something healthy to have in a relationship.

0:31:31.440 --> 0:31:34.360
<v Speaker 2>There is a relationship psychologist named Haavez who says this,

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:37.120
<v Speaker 2>and I found this quote really interesting on the eck,

0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:39.760
<v Speaker 2>and she said, the eck is a gut reaction and

0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 2>you should always trust your gut. You can know you

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 2>want to have a relationship. You can know that you

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 2>like their qualities, but you can also accept that you

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:50.160
<v Speaker 2>just don't feel that way about them. It depends on

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 2>whether the behaviors that I rate you or that you

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 2>feel disgusted by undegotiable, and whether they can change in

0:31:56.480 --> 0:31:58.960
<v Speaker 2>them so like, for example, whether you can get over

0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:00.760
<v Speaker 2>the fact that you're discussed whenever you try to have

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 2>sex with them, it's better to accept sooner rather than

0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 2>later that the relationship will not work in order to

0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 2>move on. And I think that that kind of sums

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 2>it all up. Like, if sex and being sexually compatible

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:15.320
<v Speaker 2>with your partner is important to you, it's important to

0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:18.160
<v Speaker 2>so many people. If it's something that's really important to you,

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:20.920
<v Speaker 2>and having sex is something great sex where you feel

0:32:21.000 --> 0:32:23.960
<v Speaker 2>connected and loved and into it and passionate and all

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 2>of those things that you feel when you have good

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:27.800
<v Speaker 2>sex with someone who you are deeply in love with

0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:30.560
<v Speaker 2>and don't have the dick for. If that's important to you,

0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:33.760
<v Speaker 2>then I think that that is your answer. If it's

0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:36.080
<v Speaker 2>not important to you and sex is not something that

0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:38.120
<v Speaker 2>you care about and you're quite happy to park it

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:40.960
<v Speaker 2>and not have sex, then I think, yeah, sure, there's

0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:42.720
<v Speaker 2>plenty of ways that you can work on this relationship.

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:45.160
<v Speaker 1>But at the end of the day, well, having said that, Laura,

0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:47.320
<v Speaker 1>before you go on in a year, no, but having

0:32:47.400 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 1>said that, it has to also not be important for

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 1>your partner. It just can't be important. It can't not

0:32:51.520 --> 0:32:53.040
<v Speaker 1>just be important for you, And you're like, well, it's

0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:54.720
<v Speaker 1>not important for me, so I'll get through it. If

0:32:54.720 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 1>your partner if it's really important to them and they

0:32:57.080 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 1>want to be having sex all the time and they

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:00.480
<v Speaker 1>want to be passionately kissing you, and you can't bring

0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:03.000
<v Speaker 1>yourself to do it, then it's also not going to work.

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I one hundred percent agree.

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 1>It's because it's so common in y and sometimes you

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:09.040
<v Speaker 1>just can't put your finger on why, and that's why

0:33:09.040 --> 0:33:09.840
<v Speaker 1>it's so intriguing.

0:33:10.040 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 2>There is a great thread if you're part of the

0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Facebook group. Well, if you're not, go and join Life

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Uncut discussion group. But if you are part of the

0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Facebook group, go and search for the ick in the

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 2>discussion group. There is an awesome thread from a couple

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:24.280
<v Speaker 2>of weeks back. Now I won't tell you why, but

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I was doing my research on the ick because we

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:28.960
<v Speaker 2>have a very special little project coming out someday soon,

0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 2>and I put my feelers out there and so many

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:34.520
<v Speaker 2>of you. There was hundreds and hundreds of women and

0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:37.480
<v Speaker 2>men who wrote on that thread saying the different things

0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:40.120
<v Speaker 2>that had given them the ick in their relationships. Some

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:42.080
<v Speaker 2>of them are fucking hilarious and some of them are

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:44.200
<v Speaker 2>absolutely humiliating. So it's the full spectrum.

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's the thing. It doesn't even have to be

0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:47.840
<v Speaker 1>a huge thing. I remember once. Okay, I can give

0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:50.480
<v Speaker 1>you one example of something that set the ick off

0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:52.840
<v Speaker 1>for me in a relationship a very very long time ago.

0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 1>He farted. That was all it was. He was a

0:33:57.160 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 1>constant farter. It wasn't just one off, like he had

0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a gas problem.

0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:04.240
<v Speaker 2>He would never be able to date Maddy Jay. I'm

0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 2>so glad he wasn't your bad.

0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:08.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I hope you're glad for more reasons than that, Laura.

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:10.439
<v Speaker 2>Could you imagine if we had been on the same

0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:12.520
<v Speaker 2>season and we were competing for the same guy.

0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I reckon we would still be friends.

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:21.719
<v Speaker 2>But who would have been into our wedding? I met

0:34:21.800 --> 0:34:22.360
<v Speaker 2>up with your husband?

0:34:26.280 --> 0:34:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, we're so cool. I reckon we would

0:34:28.400 --> 0:34:30.360
<v Speaker 1>have been friends because we're actually both not that competitive

0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:30.839
<v Speaker 1>in that sense.

0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 2>But you're lazy, You happy to pick someone else Manny Jay,

0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:36.560
<v Speaker 2>We've got each other.

0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:39.120
<v Speaker 1>But no, I think that for this it was like

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 1>he kept farting. He had really bad gas, but it

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:43.480
<v Speaker 1>was constant, and it was the smell. It wasn't a

0:34:43.520 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>normal art. The smell was so bad. And I remember

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:47.600
<v Speaker 1>one day he just did it to the point where

0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 1>we were in a king single bed that was I

0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:52.120
<v Speaker 1>remember it. We were saying, so we didn't even have

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:55.560
<v Speaker 1>a double bed, so I couldn't even roll bed. And

0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:57.400
<v Speaker 1>that was it. The set that is set it off.

0:34:57.440 --> 0:34:59.480
<v Speaker 1>And then I just couldn't even touch him. I couldn't

0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:00.799
<v Speaker 1>look in the same and I was like, this is over.

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like I cannot pick and like, I know you

0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:06.200
<v Speaker 1>guys are rut there thinking now probably like I can't

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:07.799
<v Speaker 1>let you break up with one over that. I didn't

0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:09.680
<v Speaker 1>break up over that, but that was the start of

0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the ick. And then once you feel the ick, everything

0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:13.879
<v Speaker 1>else that they do gives you the ick. And that's

0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:16.040
<v Speaker 1>why the ick is such a dangerous thing because it's

0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:18.360
<v Speaker 1>not usually one thing. It starts as one thing, and

0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 1>it's snowballs down the hill like a big giant snowball

0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:23.280
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of winter.

0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Like a big ikey snowball.

0:35:25.320 --> 0:35:28.839
<v Speaker 1>He's anyway, and that's it. Guys, keep you questions coming

<v Speaker 2>all also have another entirely different podcasts. It is called Hooked, Hitched,

0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 2>on that where we are revisiting some of the spiciest,

0:36:10.040 --> 0:36:13.720
<v Speaker 2>most wild, outrageous love relationships of the past.

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Celebrity relationships too, just those relationships that captured you over

0:36:17.920 --> 0:36:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the time and you're not really sure we're we're down,

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 1>but you want to know that's what this is.

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, it's kind of celebrity relationships, but it's

0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of not celebrity because it's people like Bill Clinton

0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:28.440
<v Speaker 2>and Monica Lewinsky who were like very famous but not

0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:31.640
<v Speaker 2>really celebrities. Infamous instant, that's the word I was looking for.

0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:33.839
