    About this Episode

    If I were a therapist, and a couple came in for counseling, sex would be on the agenda as a topic of conversation. I'd be suspicious if one of the partners completely took it off the table. Before you ask, I am cognizant that, despite Michael Phelps' claims to the contrary, the evidence for the efficacy of most types of therapy is weak.

    Is there an orgasm reliability threshold below which a typical man would pretty much stop masturbating? Is it reasonable for his female partner to feel "used" if they frequently have sex where he doesn't finish? What really is the difference from her perspective?

    And, is the new Barbie movie reinforcing outmoded stereotypes, or merely bringing them back into fashion where they belong? Either way, the movie's success hasn't done much for Mattel's stock price.

    Dinner's Ready! Clit Sizes, Cam Roulette, Genital Perfumes, Pushy Head

    It's always a difficult situation for a woman when she's pleasuring a man orally and he starts to get a bit too pushy. But here we discuss a young lady who was surprised by the act and unable to control the depth of penetration at all. What are some techniques for managing this? If she bites him, will she really get punched?

    What's the best way for a woman to "freshen up" before welcoming a man between her legs? Obviously a shower is likely to be the gold-standard solution. But let's say that's not available. What are the best substitutes?

    And, what's the right response by a man to a truly unusual fetish revealed by his female partner? Can a fetish be so extreme that it must have been invented purely to end the relationship?

    The Three Sevens Club, Surreptitious Snaps, Sex Or Fleshlight, Size Frustration

    The Three Sevens Club, Surreptitious Snaps, Sex Or Fleshlight, Size Frustration

    Which countries have the largest and the smallest penis sizes? Would it surprise you to find out that the smallest nation is just a bit more than half the size of the largest one?

    It's a complicated topic, though, because if a guy wants to get into the Three Sevens Club, he's going to need to be extremely tall, have a large penis and make a lot of money. I guess there are some well-known folks who definitely qualify on the first and third axes, but the middle one is still a question mark.

    If a woman makes it clear to a friend that her husband's penis is "small" and he overhears the conversation, is there any coming back from that? Obviously she cares about it, and obviously she's aware. And, there's not much he can do to "fix" the problem.

    We offer more information and discussion of male masturbation toys, this time in the context of a man who seems to prefer them to his partner. And, is there anything a woman can do to get a man to delete nude pictures of her? Or is it just up to his personality and innate desire to keep them?

    Orgasms Of Our Youth, Male Masturbator Reviews, Camgirl Pasts, Clit Sucking, Elizabethan Dirty Talk, Nonbinary Lineage

    That glow I have is the good feeling from being told by Ally, in no uncertain terms, that my orgasms are surely stronger than hers, and perhaps stronger than all women's. "Why else would men pursue sex so much more than women," she says. "It must be better for you guys."

    Amen to that, and thanks to Ally we also learned that the products of teenage masturbation also may be more memorable for men than for women.

    Next, we take a look at some reviews of male pleasure devices from Amazon, and wondered how long it would be before, paired with the metaverse, men could live in a sexual holodeck.

    And, do women really want a man to "suck" on their clit? This seems like something that might be too aggressive for the typical lady.

    Which reminds me, what explains the relative popularity of sex podcasts which just reinforce the standard cultural narratives? I know, you're probably thinking that the standard narrative is something out of the 1950s, complete with tradwives and obligation sex. But that's not the modern world. Today, humans without discernible gender are normalized. There's nothing wrong with treating people well, but it's a shame when the net result is to muddle life for those of us (the vast majority) who do fit into the traditional paradigm. Little surprise, then, that so many would rather play Fortnite or scroll Instagram Reels than sex one another.

    What a world it would be if men and women alike listened to Your Mileage May Vary, to learn how their sex parts are supposed to work, and to discern an orgasm from hyperventilation. Do you really want to leave such important matters to Alex Cooper and her minions? Presumably not. So, if you're reading this, like and subscribe and share YMMV. It's one of the few things you can do that genuinely might save humanity from itself.

    Here's the male masturbator product we discussed early in the episode:

    Porn Preferences, Thrusting, Masturbation Details, Cowgirl Flaccidity, Date Vetting

    In spite of the vigorous efforts of men to post detailed feedback on porn and sex toys, few take this part of men's lives seriously. It's a shame, because for most men it's an important enough part of their lives that one wonders whether someone can really know a man without understanding his porn preferences.

    This episode, Mike wanted to discuss a couple of porn tropes that he doesn't enjoy and wishes would change. Namely, men insisting that women have orgasms on cue (triggering fakery) and either party being too effusive in praising the other, especially when nearing climax.

    Keith wants to discuss ways in which women could better vet potential partners on dating apps, something that is sorely lacking given the sheer amount of choice available to them (assuming they're attractive enough).

    And, how do the mechanics of pelvic thrusting differ between men and women? Does this impact the experience in, say, the cowgirl position?

    Hyperventilating During Orgasm, Interoceptive Therapy, Porn Site Commenting, Anal Aftermath

    Hyperventilating During Orgasm, Interoceptive Therapy, Porn Site Commenting, Anal Aftermath

    A woman reports experiencing an extraordinary number of orgasms experienced during a bondage session. So many so, in fact, that she passes out from the experience, and she claims that each orgasm became painful, starting about halfway through the session.

    What is she experiencing? Is in analogous to the male experience or something completely different? Is passing out indicative of some other phenomenon like hyperventilating or even a medical issue of some kind?

    Which men seriously comment on videos posted on porn sites, and what's the goal? And, if your partner is watching porn containing content that differs markedly from what they claim to enjoy in everyday life, is this indicative of anything?

    And, what's the right way to handle the "aftermath" of anal?

    Dating App Honesty, Beauty and IQ, Straight Men and Gay Porn, Social Taboos

    Dating App Honesty, Beauty and IQ, Straight Men and Gay Porn, Social Taboos

    Like Icarus flying too close to the sun, we decided to tackle a series of topics this week that could get us banned from the Internet or worse. In general, we are very timid men, unwilling to challenge social norms, but this week was different. I blame climate change.

    This may surprise you, but it sounds like men sometimes lie on dating applications in order to increase their odds of sleeping with new, attractive women. Sometimes this might even make sense, since women might apply too strict of a filter on their searches. Maybe dating apps should just make it easier for men to bust through such problems? Maybe using money?

    You've undoubtedly heard the apocryphal story about the teenage boy who broke both his arms and, needing release, was assisted by a member of his family. In all seriousness, what do people do when they're in the hospital and need some sexual alone time? Is this an area where we can all agree that paid handjobs by a provider should be legal?

    Surprise MMF Threesome, Womansplaining, Orgasm Expertise, Monogamy While Sugaring

    Some men might not be upset to find out their partner invited another man to join their bedroom festivities. But, even those who at some time or another have declared they'd be up for "anything" may not really mean they want to take it quite that far.

    Who are the real masters of the domain of orgasm? Is it perhaps time for women to concede that men might just have a better grip on the human sexual response cycle, given the frequency with which they "check the equipment"? This is of particular import when discussing a porn Mike shared with the audience (link below) where the male partner always urges his counterpart to orgasm during PIV sex. It doesn't really seem like she ever does.

    What insights can a woman gain into the male desire (or lack thereof) for monogamy from sugar dating? Probably quite a lot, though there are certainly individual differences between men.

    Loyalty Tests, Phone Rummaging, Intimate Vs Sexual Touching, Cumkiss Speculations

    What a world it is that people will stand up and shout you down for having the audacity to suggest that a fluid emanating from a woman's urethra is urine. Perhaps we are the Galileos of a new enlightenment, called to the world to bring knowledge to the huddled masses. Incidentally, and perhaps appropriately, if you want to see Galileo's middle finger, it's on display in the Museo di Storia del Scienza in Italy. We recommend that listeners view it before submitting uninformed one-star reviews of the podcast.

    We discussed the techniques used by potentially scorned women to search through their boyfriends' phones to see what he's been up to. Clever searches include looking at his screen time and battery usage, reddit history and the like.

    What differentiates touching aimed at intimacy from initiation of sex? Is it the same for men and women? And, how does differentiating between these kinds of interactions apply in "dead bedroom" situations?

    Along similar lines, what's going on when a woman wants to "ignore" her partner during sex? Is it a fetish, or is she just not all that interested in the act?

    Surgery Pitfalls, Porn Viewing Trends, Gay Cruising, Sex Worker First Times

    In a thought-provoking start to the new year, we discuss requests for unusual types of porn made by men on Reddit, paired with a conversation about PornHub's 2023 porn trends data. Where are men coming up with these rather strange requests? Is it indicative of what they want in real life, or have they just been conditioned by online content?

    If you've ever wondered where the hot spots are in your city for gay cruising, but you haven't wanted to install the Grindr app on your phone for whatever reason, we've got a site you can visit just to get the lay of the land. Lots of cocks, and some good information.

    How do people justify getting plastic surgery, and is it effective? Is there an analogy between it and makeup, or is there a bright line? And, what advice should a young man get who is considering losing his virginity with a sex worker?

    Smaller Is Better! Cheating Etiquette, Squirting In Faces, 2023 Sex Count

    Smaller Is Better! Cheating Etiquette, Squirting In Faces, 2023 Sex Count

    Before getting to the heart of the matter -- how many times one should have had sex in 2023 -- we discuss some topics of perhaps more general interest.

    A woman has a curious predilection for small penises, prompting her to receive a large number of dick pics showing off all the smaller-than-average men available on the Internet. Her opinion, presumably, goes along with the old saw that what men do with the organ is more important than its size. Personally, I think both are pretty important.

    A man's delicate sweetheart gifts him with a large amount of urine to the face as she's climaxing from his ministrations. Apart from the obligatory race to the shower, what's the right level of aftercare in each direction for this situation?

    And, is a woman guilty of anything if she gives a married man oral sex, when she neither knew nor suspected she was married?
