Nina Hartley on Pleasure as a Birthright, Gang Bang Planning & 40 Years of Living Non-Monogamously

Stop what you're doing. Seriously. Pull over if you have to, because this episode features one of the most iconic voices in the history of sex education, adult entertainment, and the non-monogamy movement — and she showed up ready to talk about everything.

Adam and Pris sit down with the legendary Nina Hartley — adult film performer, sex educator, activist, and someone who has been living intentional non-monogamy since before half of you were born. We're talking decades of swinging, triads, and fearless advocacy for pleasure, consent, and honest human connection.

This one goes deep. Like, deep deep.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • How Nina knew she was non-monogamous before she even knew what sex was — and what middle school dreams about "a room full of naked people" have to do with it
  • Her first triad at 22 — and why it ended (spoiler: it wasn't the three-person structure, it was the two people she picked)
  • Being the youngest swinger in every room by 15 years — in the 1980s
  • Why pleasure is a birthright — and how Zen Buddhism and mindfulness connect directly to your sex life
  • The truth about forgiveness nobody wants to hear (you don't have to, and Adam's mind was genuinely blown)
  • Nina's breakdown of why porn is "a weird amalgamation of Monster Truck rallies and bad dinner theater" — and why it's ruining how young people approach the lifestyle
  • The manosphere, toxic masculinity, and why men need to start calling out other men
  • Practical gang bang planning: timelines, the audition process, the five-guy framework, and the genius concept of the gang bang doula
  • Performance anxiety in the lifestyle — what Ro actually does (and doesn't) do, and why some guys just should not go to swing parties
  • Does size matter? Nina breaks it down by the percentages
  • Narcissistic abuse — and why it took Nina 18 years to leave
  • "Man-keeping" — the concept that explains a whole lot about modern dating

Nina Hartley is sharp, funny, brutally honest, and genuinely one of the most fascinating humans we've ever had in our chairs. This is one of those episodes you'll probably listen to twice.

1
00:00:07,184 --> 00:00:10,664
Alright y'all, before we
dive in, a quick heads up.

2
00:00:11,164 --> 00:00:14,134
This show is raw, real, and
definitely not rated pg.

3
00:00:14,944 --> 00:00:19,684
We're talking about adult themes, sexual
content, and the kind of stuff you

4
00:00:19,684 --> 00:00:24,034
probably don't want blasting through your
speakers at work or around your kits.

5
00:00:24,634 --> 00:00:28,504
So grab some headphones, pour your
drink of choice and get comfy.

6
00:00:28,804 --> 00:00:35,014
Oh, and just so we're clear, we are not
licensed therapists, counselors, or sex.

7
00:00:35,434 --> 00:00:36,244
Couches.

8
00:00:36,904 --> 00:00:38,164
Sex coaches.

9
00:00:38,374 --> 00:00:39,244
Sex coaches,

10
00:00:39,289 --> 00:00:40,384
not sex couches

11
00:00:40,884 --> 00:00:45,144
or just a couple of people sharing our
lives, experiences and sexy adventures.

12
00:00:45,234 --> 00:00:47,124
An ethical non-monogamy.

13
00:00:47,394 --> 00:00:51,644
So with that, pull up a
chair and enjoy the show.

14
00:00:51,644 --> 00:00:51,734
And.

15
00:00:51,965 --> 00:00:54,695
Hello, and welcome to another
episode of Beyond Monogamy.

16
00:00:54,815 --> 00:00:55,175
I'm Adam.

17
00:00:55,415 --> 00:00:56,165
And I'm Pris.

18
00:00:56,375 --> 00:00:58,955
And babe, I've been waiting
for this one all week,

19
00:00:59,015 --> 00:00:59,375
right?

20
00:01:00,035 --> 00:01:03,155
Today I need everybody to
stop what they're doing.

21
00:01:03,245 --> 00:01:05,375
Put both hands on the wheel.

22
00:01:05,375 --> 00:01:09,335
If you're driving, pull over if you have
to, because this episode, episode is

23
00:01:09,335 --> 00:01:11,675
not one you wanna be distracted during.

24
00:01:12,275 --> 00:01:14,285
We have an absolute legend
in the building, and I

25
00:01:14,285 --> 00:01:16,955
don't use that word lightly.

26
00:01:17,405 --> 00:01:20,135
We're talking about someone
who has spent decades.

27
00:01:21,095 --> 00:01:21,755
Decades.

28
00:01:21,755 --> 00:01:24,935
Not just living an open,
intentional sex positive life,

29
00:01:24,935 --> 00:01:26,645
but educating people about it.

30
00:01:27,215 --> 00:01:32,165
Someone who has been a voice for
pleasure, for consent, for honest

31
00:01:32,165 --> 00:01:37,645
human connection, long before any of
this had a catchy name or a subreddit.

32
00:01:38,305 --> 00:01:38,575
Yeah.

33
00:01:38,575 --> 00:01:41,545
She's literally been doing
this longer than north of our

34
00:01:41,545 --> 00:01:42,985
listeners have been alive.

35
00:01:43,525 --> 00:01:44,485
So yeah, guys

36
00:01:44,785 --> 00:01:45,025
pretty cool.

37
00:01:45,085 --> 00:01:47,995
And she has never backed
down, never apologized, never

38
00:01:47,995 --> 00:01:49,255
shook herself for anybody.

39
00:01:49,525 --> 00:01:51,025
I have so much respect for this woman.

40
00:01:51,475 --> 00:01:52,105
Same.

41
00:01:52,525 --> 00:01:56,425

I cannot, I can't talk anymore because I
have not Welcome our wonderful guest, uh,

57
00:02:31,415 --> 00:02:34,175
Nina Hartley, please welcome to the show.

58
00:02:34,235 --> 00:02:34,775
Yes, thank you.

59
00:02:35,585 --> 00:02:36,275
Well, thank you.

60
00:02:36,365 --> 00:02:40,595
I hope I live up to that, uh, fabulous,
uh, intro, but it's always good.

61
00:02:40,595 --> 00:02:41,645
This is my favorite topic.

62
00:02:41,645 --> 00:02:44,915
I'm so glad that it's getting more
airtime, that's getting more, uh,

63
00:02:44,915 --> 00:02:48,395
supported podcast like yours, uh,
that more people are talking about

64
00:02:48,395 --> 00:02:51,725
it, more people are living it
and making community around this

65
00:02:51,725 --> 00:02:55,325
particular, um, uh, relationship style.

66
00:02:55,535 --> 00:02:56,375
It is pretty great.

67
00:02:56,375 --> 00:02:56,705
Yeah.

68
00:02:56,885 --> 00:03:01,175
You know, I, uh, I'll be honest with
you, initially when I, I knew you

69
00:03:01,175 --> 00:03:04,025
from, uh, your film work, uh, but.

70
00:03:04,985 --> 00:03:09,125
We are not actually here to talk about
that because as I learned more about you,

71
00:03:09,125 --> 00:03:11,795
I realized, wow, you are lifestyle full.

72
00:03:11,795 --> 00:03:12,545
You are

73
00:03:12,545 --> 00:03:12,845
and through

74
00:03:13,415 --> 00:03:14,105
amazing.

75
00:03:14,605 --> 00:03:14,995
Thank you.

76
00:03:14,995 --> 00:03:15,385
No, I

77
00:03:15,385 --> 00:03:17,815
lady, you have done so much for us.

78
00:03:18,325 --> 00:03:18,595
Thank

79
00:03:18,595 --> 00:03:18,745
you.

80
00:03:18,745 --> 00:03:18,865
Don't,

81
00:03:18,865 --> 00:03:20,185
it's been my, it's been my pleasure.

82
00:03:20,485 --> 00:03:23,245
You know, it goes back to what I
was before I knew what sex was.

83
00:03:23,245 --> 00:03:24,265
I never dreamt of him.

84
00:03:24,265 --> 00:03:28,315
I always dreamt of them, you know, the,
you know, room full of naked people.

85
00:03:28,315 --> 00:03:29,245
Yeah.

86
00:03:29,395 --> 00:03:33,795
And I was like, middle school and I just,
I didn't have the word queer then, or

87
00:03:33,795 --> 00:03:37,785
pansexual, or polyamorous, but I just
knew that I wasn't like other people.

88
00:03:37,875 --> 00:03:39,075
I never dreamt of him.

89
00:03:39,575 --> 00:03:40,080
Like that's

90
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:40,860
amazing.

91
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,740
And I was younger, you know, why,
why do I only get all the movies?

92
00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:44,040
Right?

93
00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:46,860
Um, uh, the, you know, they
have, she has to choose.

94
00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:47,850
She has to choose.

95
00:03:47,855 --> 00:03:52,170
And, and I didn't even know
what sex was, but I recognized,

96
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,940
wait, the guys like each other.

97
00:03:54,450 --> 00:03:55,470
They each like her.

98
00:03:55,650 --> 00:03:56,640
She likes them.

99
00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:58,860
And I just knew that any one woman could.

100
00:03:59,550 --> 00:04:01,260
Easily take care of any two men.

101
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:03,450
So why couldn't they all live together?

102
00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:04,800
I didn't see the problem.

103
00:04:05,130 --> 00:04:08,040
Um, and this is way back in
the way back machine, right?

104
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,370
So it's never made compulsory
monogamy has never made sense to me.

105
00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:16,590
Well, so I, I, I do wanna go way back
because I, what I found interesting

106
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:22,530
was, um, you know, you started in the
swinging communities as a 22-year-old,

107
00:04:23,190 --> 00:04:27,030
uh, which I found really fascinating
'cause I've always said that it takes

108
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:35,850
a major emotional maturity, uh, to be a
part of this community and to do it well.

109
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,950
Um, um, did you have any
issues, like jumping into it?

110
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:42,990
Like did you feel like
you were right there?

111
00:04:42,990 --> 00:04:47,010
Was it something that you were kind of
like a, a work in progress for a long

112
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:47,250
time?

113
00:04:47,550 --> 00:04:48,990
I mean, one of the
reasons I picked my first.

114
00:04:49,875 --> 00:04:51,375
My, well, my second boyfriend.

115
00:04:51,615 --> 00:04:55,065
Um, so I've, I've never, I've
never been successfully monogamous.

116
00:04:55,065 --> 00:04:56,355
I've never been single.

117
00:04:56,505 --> 00:04:58,245
Um, so I have, you know, other issues.

118
00:04:58,245 --> 00:05:00,285
I've always overlapped relationships.

119
00:05:00,285 --> 00:05:04,185
So that's a whole other chapter,
you know, between me and Dr. Freud.

120
00:05:04,455 --> 00:05:08,535
Um, but, uh, I was always the
youngest person in the, in the

121
00:05:08,535 --> 00:05:09,465
eighties when I was swinging.

122
00:05:09,465 --> 00:05:12,915
I was always the youngest person
in the room by at least 15 years.

123
00:05:13,305 --> 00:05:16,335
Uh, most swingers in that era
were 40 plus, you know, they had

124
00:05:16,335 --> 00:05:17,745
finally gotten around to swinging.

125
00:05:18,135 --> 00:05:22,305
Um, and so I was always a
bit of a unicorn that way.

126
00:05:22,815 --> 00:05:27,525
Uh, and I was living in a triad
relationship, uh, from a very early age.

127
00:05:27,525 --> 00:05:32,235
And we broke up, not because it was three
people, but I picked the wrong two people.

128
00:05:32,265 --> 00:05:34,485
You know, it was very, the relationship.

129
00:05:35,010 --> 00:05:40,320
Underneath was very toxic, um,
emotionally, but I was attracted to them

130
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,720
because he was an out non-monogamous.

131
00:05:42,750 --> 00:05:44,850
And I met his girlfriend right away.

132
00:05:44,850 --> 00:05:45,990
She was very supportive.

133
00:05:46,050 --> 00:05:49,320
Um, I realize now enabling, but she
was very supportive and welcoming

134
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:52,500
and I'd always wanted that life.

135
00:05:52,530 --> 00:05:55,380
And I was young, too young to know that
there were other versions of that life.

136
00:05:55,380 --> 00:05:59,570
So I, I hooked up with the first open
couple that I met, who, who was an

137
00:05:59,570 --> 00:06:01,490
out who, who were out as o as open.

138
00:06:01,850 --> 00:06:05,450
And I did, I was too young and
inexperienced to recognize any kind

139
00:06:05,450 --> 00:06:09,740
of red flags as to narcissistic
abuse and all the things that young

140
00:06:09,740 --> 00:06:12,250
people are, are susceptible to.

141
00:06:12,730 --> 00:06:17,800
So I, I, but I never, ever, ever doubted
the fact that I am not a, so if I

142
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,730
had, when I was eight, by the time I
was 14, I'd seen the words, bisexual,

143
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,940
exhibitionist, voyeur, nudist and swinger.

144
00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:28,810
And I knew, although all those
apply to me, and if I was.

145
00:06:29,290 --> 00:06:32,860
18-year-old now, or 15-year-old
now, I would, I would identify

146
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:38,530
as pan poly, queer, kinky, and
probably non-binary or a, a gender.

147
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,600
I don't feel like a girl or like a boy.

148
00:06:40,630 --> 00:06:41,585
I recognize I'm cisgender.

149
00:06:41,710 --> 00:06:44,590
I never wanted to change
my, my presentation.

150
00:06:44,590 --> 00:06:44,920
I get that.

151
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,520
I'm a, I'm a girl, but I never
felt like a girl because I, I'm

152
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,200
child free and happy for it.

153
00:06:50,770 --> 00:06:53,770
Never had a moment worry about,
you know, what have I done?

154
00:06:53,770 --> 00:06:55,900
It's like, no, every day
wake up without a child.

155
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:59,140
It's like, yeah, still the, still a
good thing that I don't have kids.

156
00:06:59,140 --> 00:06:59,440
Right.

157
00:06:59,650 --> 00:07:02,050
Um, and I'm, I'm, I'm a child.

158
00:07:02,050 --> 00:07:05,470
I'm a child free woman who
loves children, but I don't have

159
00:07:05,470 --> 00:07:06,520
what it takes to be a mother.

160
00:07:06,580 --> 00:07:11,910
And I knew that as soon as ro I was 14
when Roe v Wade was, was finally ruled.

161
00:07:11,910 --> 00:07:15,360
And I recognized then how I
knew already was very important.

162
00:07:15,750 --> 00:07:18,660
Um, and I, I kept waiting
to wanna be a mom.

163
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:19,560
Never happened.

164
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:19,830
So.

165
00:07:20,330 --> 00:07:22,280
They forgot to wind my
clock at the factory.

166
00:07:22,370 --> 00:07:22,640
Right.

167
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,540
That biological clock.

168
00:07:23,780 --> 00:07:26,870
There's a lot of people that are
parents that shouldn't have been.

169
00:07:26,990 --> 00:07:27,440
Yes.

170
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,400
We wish that they had

171
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,985
the parents of both of my exes.

172
00:07:30,865 --> 00:07:31,065
Yeah.

173
00:07:31,155 --> 00:07:31,705
There you go.

174
00:07:32,465 --> 00:07:35,960
I, you know, my, our parents, you know,
we've, we've always said like, our

175
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,820
parents should have never been parents.

176
00:07:37,850 --> 00:07:41,060
Like we, we come from very
traumatic backgrounds, you know?

177
00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:41,120
Yeah.

178
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,490
And so it was something
that we've always said.

179
00:07:43,490 --> 00:07:44,420
It's just one of those things.

180
00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:48,440
It's like sometimes some people just
need to say, nah, it's not for me.

181
00:07:48,940 --> 00:07:54,750
Now I was reading, reading a little
bit about your like bio, um, do

182
00:07:54,750 --> 00:07:56,430
I know how you live your life?

183
00:07:56,430 --> 00:07:58,110
And you lived it like that, very young.

184
00:07:58,610 --> 00:08:01,850
And apparently your parents were
kind of very freeish as well.

185
00:08:02,350 --> 00:08:03,070
They were different.

186
00:08:03,070 --> 00:08:04,960
They were, they were, um, uh.

187
00:08:05,530 --> 00:08:10,210
Left wing, um, politically
active in the civil rights era.

188
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,760
My father was blacklisted in 1957,
um, for being a communist, and

189
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,910
that's, I was right before I was
born, but, um, that sort of threw

190
00:08:18,910 --> 00:08:24,750
the family, uh, into a, uh, different
direction, for lack of a better word.

191
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:24,960
Yeah.

192
00:08:25,140 --> 00:08:28,080
Um, and they tried all kinds
of things in the sixties.

193
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,490
They tried, uh, any, every
variation of therapy out there.

194
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,500
But the one that really stuck
with me was Ian Therapy.

195
00:08:35,070 --> 00:08:39,660
Um, and I discovered they were doing
that when I got, I got about eight and

196
00:08:39,660 --> 00:08:43,770
that's when I heard the word body armor
and recognized that I had body armor.

197
00:08:44,250 --> 00:08:47,490
Um, so a lot of wor a lot of things now
because of the mental health awareness.

198
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,650
I'm going on to lots of more dis this more
discussion now about, um, neurodivergency.

199
00:08:52,650 --> 00:08:55,110
I'm definitely neurodivergent for sure.

200
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:55,920
Um mm-hmm.

201
00:08:56,015 --> 00:08:58,320
As well as queer and
kinky and all the things.

202
00:08:58,710 --> 00:09:00,060
Um, and.

203
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,530
I recognize now I had emia,
which is being, not knowing

204
00:09:03,530 --> 00:09:04,760
what, what are you feeling?

205
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,180
And, and so there's all kinds of
information coming out now that I can,

206
00:09:08,330 --> 00:09:10,220
I can backtrack and go, oh my gosh.

207
00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:10,940
Oh my gosh.

208
00:09:11,060 --> 00:09:11,780
Oh my gosh.

209
00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:12,890
Isn't, it's, it is amazing.

210
00:09:12,890 --> 00:09:13,250
I'm very happy.

211
00:09:13,250 --> 00:09:18,170
I I, I, I got diagnosed a
DHD about two years ago and

212
00:09:18,170 --> 00:09:19,820
I was 60.

213
00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:19,970
Wow.

214
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:20,830
Wow.

215
00:09:21,220 --> 00:09:25,000
And I told Adam, I was like, man,
if, had I gotten diagnosed when I was

216
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,870
younger, of course my parents thought
it was just actually just laziness.

217
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,100
But if had I got diagnosed back
then, I could have been amazing.

218
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:33,880
I was like,

219
00:09:34,270 --> 00:09:34,390
yeah,

220
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,350
you're so smart.

221
00:09:35,350 --> 00:09:36,640
Why don't you try harder?

222
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:37,570
Yeah.

223
00:09:37,570 --> 00:09:39,220
I, I heard that too.

224
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:39,790
Yeah.

225
00:09:40,290 --> 00:09:42,570
You know, my, my parents didn't
say anything about anything.

226
00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:46,980
Um, they were too busy and someone that
was 10 years old, they found Zen Buddhism.

227
00:09:47,340 --> 00:09:49,110
And that was, um.

228
00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:50,520
The savior of them.

229
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,680
And, and actually I'm quite
grateful because of the time and

230
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:55,980
place they could have found est,
they could have found Scientology,

231
00:09:55,980 --> 00:09:57,240
they could have found Har Krishna.

232
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,660
Uh, they could have very, so they,
I thank God they found San Buddhism

233
00:10:00,660 --> 00:10:03,960
because it is rigorous, but it doesn't
permit proselytization proselytizing.

234
00:10:04,460 --> 00:10:07,160
So they exposed me to it
because I'm around it.

235
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,530
But they never said, you
have to do these things.

236
00:10:09,530 --> 00:10:11,330
And I'm very grateful for that actually.

237
00:10:11,330 --> 00:10:11,870
What is that?

238
00:10:11,870 --> 00:10:13,280
What is proselytizing?

239
00:10:13,780 --> 00:10:15,280
Come, come join our church.

240
00:10:15,370 --> 00:10:16,150
This is really great.

241
00:10:16,330 --> 00:10:16,390
Oh, okay.

242
00:10:16,390 --> 00:10:18,490
You should come listen, come,
come, come, come to a talk.

243
00:10:18,490 --> 00:10:21,790
Come to just, you know, basically what,
what Christians are, are told to do.

244
00:10:22,030 --> 00:10:22,360
Right?

245
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,490
Go, go spread the good news,
bring people to the church.

246
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:27,160
Oh, um, what the mission, what
the Mormon missions are all about.

247
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:27,520
Right?

248
00:10:27,940 --> 00:10:32,560
So, of all, and so what of all
the religions Zen does not seek.

249
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:33,970
Recruit does not recruit people.

250
00:10:34,030 --> 00:10:37,000
You, when you suffer enough, you
find your way to Zen Buddhism.

251
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,190
And until you suffer enough,
it holds zero interest.

252
00:10:39,690 --> 00:10:39,910
Wow.

253
00:10:40,605 --> 00:10:41,955
Because it's very, very rigorous.

254
00:10:42,285 --> 00:10:42,615
Right.

255
00:10:42,945 --> 00:10:47,355
Um, and, uh, it is very, very,
very personally demanding.

256
00:10:47,685 --> 00:10:50,955
Um, and so only people are super
serious about the spiritual growth.

257
00:10:50,955 --> 00:10:53,895
Will ever do zen in any kind of real way?

258
00:10:53,985 --> 00:10:54,945
That much I know.

259
00:10:55,445 --> 00:10:55,595
Well,

260
00:10:55,895 --> 00:11:00,605
you know, I, I had looked into, uh,
Buddhism, but I have a, I guess a lot of,

261
00:11:00,965 --> 00:11:08,235
um, unresolved anger from my past that
I found really difficult to, like, I, I.

262
00:11:08,930 --> 00:11:10,910
I refuse to forgive certain people.

263
00:11:11,510 --> 00:11:16,600
And I was like, God, that's direct
conflict of, you know, like, I

264
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,720
didn't think that I, I I could take
part in such a beautiful thing.

265
00:11:19,725 --> 00:11:19,935
Mm-hmm.

266
00:11:20,020 --> 00:11:22,090
Because I just, I feel like
there's still something there.

267
00:11:22,330 --> 00:11:23,920
Zen folk are full of anger.

268
00:11:23,925 --> 00:11:28,450
So, so the thing about, no, the, the thing
about the thing about Zen, it's not about,

269
00:11:28,510 --> 00:11:30,250
it's becoming aware of your own mind.

270
00:11:30,580 --> 00:11:34,480
So zen meditation, meditation is
not, meditation is not about clearing

271
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,100
your mind or calming your mind.

272
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:37,210
You're emptying your mind.

273
00:11:37,210 --> 00:11:41,320
It's becoming aware of, aware
of your mind as a a thing.

274
00:11:42,220 --> 00:11:46,690
So in zen, so think about, so they
talk about, you know, thought feelings

275
00:11:46,690 --> 00:11:48,550
are like bubbles, uh, sifo, right?

276
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,690
So do, uh, you know, popcorn, poppers,
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

277
00:11:52,750 --> 00:11:53,050
Yeah.

278
00:11:53,230 --> 00:11:54,880
So our brains make thoughts.

279
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,050
That's what brains do.

280
00:11:56,170 --> 00:11:56,860
That's what they do.

281
00:11:56,860 --> 00:11:57,910
So, thought, thought, thought,
thought, thought, thought,

282
00:11:57,910 --> 00:11:58,270
thought, thought, thought.

283
00:11:58,540 --> 00:12:02,680
What humans do because of conditioning
is take that piece of popcorn and that

284
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:04,300
piece of popcorn go, these are true.

285
00:12:04,630 --> 00:12:05,650
This is real.

286
00:12:06,325 --> 00:12:09,085
And ignoring all the other pieces of
popcorn that might have a different

287
00:12:09,085 --> 00:12:10,195
thought or a different meaning.

288
00:12:10,195 --> 00:12:10,885
So we clinging.

289
00:12:10,885 --> 00:12:14,065
So in Buddhism, suffering is
caused by greed, hate and desire.

290
00:12:14,065 --> 00:12:14,845
We clinging to it.

291
00:12:14,845 --> 00:12:16,195
We clinging to our identity as victim.

292
00:12:16,195 --> 00:12:20,395
We clinging to our identity as wow,
as, um, better than we clinging to

293
00:12:20,395 --> 00:12:22,825
our identity as a successful CEO.

294
00:12:22,825 --> 00:12:24,685
Whatever I, our identity
is, we cling to it.

295
00:12:24,685 --> 00:12:25,825
We, we clinging to it.

296
00:12:25,825 --> 00:12:25,885
Ugh.

297
00:12:26,385 --> 00:12:26,445
Ugh.

298
00:12:27,105 --> 00:12:28,875
That is a state of suffering.

299
00:12:28,875 --> 00:12:30,645
So suffering, pain is inevitable.

300
00:12:30,645 --> 00:12:31,665
Suffering is what we do.

301
00:12:32,505 --> 00:12:36,345
Suffering is an action we take with
our minds against ourselves usually.

302
00:12:37,005 --> 00:12:38,445
But pain, pain is inevitable.

303
00:12:38,505 --> 00:12:39,645
We're gonna, we're gonna have loss.

304
00:12:39,645 --> 00:12:41,085
We're going to stu, our toe

305
00:12:41,085 --> 00:12:41,445
enemy.

306
00:12:41,805 --> 00:12:45,495
Um, and so with Zen, you don't,
you don't, you just observe.

307
00:12:45,495 --> 00:12:46,695
Oh, hello, mind.

308
00:12:47,085 --> 00:12:47,655
You can sit.

309
00:12:47,895 --> 00:12:50,025
So zen meditation is
called sitting meditation.

310
00:12:50,025 --> 00:12:52,725
You sit still with your eyes, downcast.

311
00:12:53,490 --> 00:12:55,290
You sit still for 40 minutes.

312
00:12:55,410 --> 00:12:57,540
You, you just, you just sit.

313
00:12:58,170 --> 00:13:00,930
Now when you know that there is a
significant number of people who

314
00:13:00,930 --> 00:13:04,380
would rather shock themselves with
electricity than be 15 minutes

315
00:13:04,380 --> 00:13:06,470
without their devices people.

316
00:13:06,710 --> 00:13:10,400
So, so it is very, when we hate
ourselves, when we are in a lot of

317
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,980
distress due to our history, nothing
is more painful than just sitting still

318
00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:17,870
and watching our mind do its thing.

319
00:13:18,260 --> 00:13:21,110
So you can start the meditation in
a perfectly good mood and come out

320
00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:23,540
the other end of the meditation
in a completely different mood.

321
00:13:23,665 --> 00:13:26,330
And, and all you did was
sit still and see your mind.

322
00:13:26,330 --> 00:13:30,830
How it does it sinks how our condition
mind tells us about the world, tells us

323
00:13:30,830 --> 00:13:34,760
about ourselves, tells us how it should
be and how far away we are from it.

324
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:35,540
So

325
00:13:35,570 --> 00:13:40,730
that, that knowing who you
are really brings you to where

326
00:13:40,730 --> 00:13:43,250
you have, where you're at now.

327
00:13:43,250 --> 00:13:45,180
I mean, it takes a lot of.

328
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:49,370
That, especially like say for me, a person
just who doesn't know how to meditate

329
00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:50,960
or just never done anything like that.

330
00:13:51,460 --> 00:13:56,080
The, the fact that you started in
Buddhism so young that mine just

331
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,420
kept growing into that positivity,

332
00:13:59,020 --> 00:14:01,300
which is not, it's, it's
not so much positivity.

333
00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:04,420
And my parents, my parents didn't make
me do any of this, but I, it, of, of the

334
00:14:04,420 --> 00:14:07,870
philosophies, I like it the best because
you don't, you don't believe anything.

335
00:14:08,170 --> 00:14:09,430
You don't believe in Buddhism.

336
00:14:09,430 --> 00:14:11,080
You practice Buddhist principles.

337
00:14:11,410 --> 00:14:12,550
So it's all about practice.

338
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,140
It's all about mindfulness.

339
00:14:14,590 --> 00:14:18,040
So our body, this is why, this is why
I say this is why sex and sexuality is

340
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,680
so, such a potent, um, healing force.

341
00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:24,790
Because our, because of the nature
of mind, we can go into the past and,

342
00:14:24,850 --> 00:14:27,040
and be depressed about what happened.

343
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,140
We can go into the future and be
anxious about what, what might

344
00:14:29,140 --> 00:14:31,300
happen because our mind, our minds
could be everywhere all at once.

345
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:34,600
Our body is stuck in
meat space right here.

346
00:14:35,095 --> 00:14:36,235
It cannot go anywhere.

347
00:14:36,415 --> 00:14:37,495
It suffers right now.

348
00:14:37,945 --> 00:14:42,475
So with mindfulness, you bring your
mind into where your body is right

349
00:14:42,475 --> 00:14:44,635
now, meditating, walking, cooking.

350
00:14:44,965 --> 00:14:49,555
So if you're cook, cooking, cooking, food,
just chop vegetables, just wash dishes,

351
00:14:49,885 --> 00:14:51,835
just do what you're doing and don't.

352
00:14:52,105 --> 00:14:52,555
Mm-hmm.

353
00:14:53,125 --> 00:15:00,385
So sex is great because pleasure
is in the body, and so as we, we.

354
00:15:00,885 --> 00:15:04,965
Wire or re rewe our relationship
to pleasure as we claim

355
00:15:04,965 --> 00:15:05,895
pleasure for ourselves.

356
00:15:06,075 --> 00:15:08,685
I'm alone in a room not hurting anybody.

357
00:15:08,895 --> 00:15:12,645
I'm gonna put my hand between my legs, and
then all your shit comes up, all the fear,

358
00:15:12,645 --> 00:15:15,915
all the anger, all the distress of what
happened, all the things, all the stories.

359
00:15:16,245 --> 00:15:16,965
All the things.

360
00:15:17,325 --> 00:15:22,305
And so your body wants the pleasure and
your mind goes no, and throws up all the

361
00:15:22,305 --> 00:15:24,585
things between you and yourself, right?

362
00:15:24,795 --> 00:15:25,665
You're in your body.

363
00:15:25,665 --> 00:15:29,145
You're trying to connect to your body
with all these layers of bullshit that

364
00:15:29,145 --> 00:15:31,155
have been layered on from the fam.

365
00:15:31,185 --> 00:15:34,995
All the things our, all the, the
cumulative weight of our lived

366
00:15:34,995 --> 00:15:39,645
experience and our conditioning and our
training and our being in the world.

367
00:15:39,825 --> 00:15:41,595
And we carry that around with us.

368
00:15:41,925 --> 00:15:47,085
Pleasure is, pleasure is a birthright
due to anatomy because we're

369
00:15:47,085 --> 00:15:48,705
wired for it right out of the box.

370
00:15:49,245 --> 00:15:53,085
And we are trained away from
that to make good boys and girls.

371
00:15:53,585 --> 00:15:54,005
Mm-hmm.

372
00:15:54,150 --> 00:16:00,840
Because Western, you know, erotiphobia and
misogyny and phobia and all the things.

373
00:16:01,590 --> 00:16:01,710
Yeah.

374
00:16:01,770 --> 00:16:05,520
And so we are walking around in a
wounded relationship with our own

375
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,810
physical self because of our, you,
you have, you have one reason for

376
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,130
not being in your physical body.

377
00:16:11,130 --> 00:16:12,480
You have another, I have another.

378
00:16:12,780 --> 00:16:16,470
And so luckily, due to the
nature of pleasure, it can

379
00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:18,240
only bring us to our best self.

380
00:16:18,780 --> 00:16:24,110
So if, if I just learn to, to be,
be okay with pleasure in my body

381
00:16:24,110 --> 00:16:27,620
with not hurting anybody, I will
clear up a lot of things, right?

382
00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:31,940
Because as I'm touching myself and getting
closer to orgasm, and then something

383
00:16:31,940 --> 00:16:35,210
comes up in my mind and, and I stop, I
can say, that's this thing in my mind.

384
00:16:35,210 --> 00:16:35,930
It's not real.

385
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,560
Right now.

386
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,460
I'm alone in my room.

387
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,140
Not hurting anybody.

388
00:16:39,410 --> 00:16:44,060
And so you can start dancing with it and
just using the pleasure to stay here.

389
00:16:44,065 --> 00:16:44,705
Say, I know you're scared.

390
00:16:44,710 --> 00:16:45,290
I know you're scared.

391
00:16:45,290 --> 00:16:45,920
I know you're scared.

392
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:46,340
Stay here.

393
00:16:46,340 --> 00:16:46,820
Stay here.

394
00:16:46,820 --> 00:16:47,810
I, yeah, I know you're scared.

395
00:16:48,140 --> 00:16:50,560
And then you start, um, not images.

396
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,010
Um, realizations start happening
and insights start happening.

397
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,845
And the suffering lessons a
little when you have a, when

398
00:16:57,850 --> 00:16:58,900
you have a drop of insight.

399
00:16:58,930 --> 00:17:01,620
Oh, so you're not letting go of anything.

400
00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:04,890
You're not, not, you're not getting to
forgiveness because they deserve it.

401
00:17:05,370 --> 00:17:08,850
We get to forgiveness because it
hurts to be angry all the time.

402
00:17:08,850 --> 00:17:09,750
It's bad for us.

403
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:13,320
It's bad for our spirit that
you, you can go no contact.

404
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,310
You never have to talk to them again.

405
00:17:14,310 --> 00:17:17,550
You never have to say,
and you not required.

406
00:17:18,330 --> 00:17:19,020
Not required.

407
00:17:19,050 --> 00:17:20,730
You don't need, you don't
need, you don't need to forgive

408
00:17:20,730 --> 00:17:23,220
them or say, I forgive you.

409
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:23,850
And they don't.

410
00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:24,240
Yeah.

411
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:25,680
That's what I feel like.

412
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,540
That's what everybody
says that I have to do.

413
00:17:27,540 --> 00:17:27,600
Yeah.

414
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,390
They're like, no, you
have to forgive them.

415
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:33,030
And you, you know, you in order
to feel better about, but it's so

416
00:17:33,030 --> 00:17:36,030
hard when you're raised
like that, that, so, yeah.

417
00:17:36,030 --> 00:17:36,390
So, yeah, exactly.

418
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:38,760
So I wasn't raised in any, I
wasn't raised in a real, my parents

419
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,490
started studying Zen when I was 10.

420
00:17:41,940 --> 00:17:44,040
But again, they just
did it in front of me.

421
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,770
They didn't say, and you have to
sit down and read these things too.

422
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,590
You have to come listen to
this person talk as well.

423
00:17:49,710 --> 00:17:52,290
They brought me around to places because
I was too young to be left alone.

424
00:17:52,620 --> 00:17:55,800
But it wasn't like, and you have to,
you have to believe this as well.

425
00:17:56,250 --> 00:18:01,860
Um, but I see that, you know, my
parents teacher said, you must work

426
00:18:01,860 --> 00:18:03,690
diligently at your own salvation.

427
00:18:04,530 --> 00:18:07,860
So with Zen, you wake up to the
fact that everyone's conditioned.

428
00:18:08,610 --> 00:18:08,700
Mm-hmm.

429
00:18:08,970 --> 00:18:13,320
And that's just being conditioned
is a state of being human.

430
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,190
You can't avoid it.

431
00:18:14,690 --> 00:18:17,030
You know what conditioning you
get depends on culture, race,

432
00:18:17,030 --> 00:18:18,740
class, gender, all the things.

433
00:18:18,770 --> 00:18:18,830
Yeah.

434
00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:24,465
But we are a creature of our environment,
which is all the 10,000 of the

435
00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:27,190
culture that have shown this before.

436
00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:27,640
This moment.

437
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,150
Right now there's been 10,000 years of
culture, and here we are sitting in front

438
00:18:31,150 --> 00:18:33,310
of a screen talking across the country.

439
00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:35,860
Explain why we're all so shitty now.

440
00:18:36,670 --> 00:18:36,680
Yes,

441
00:18:36,805 --> 00:18:37,545
yes it does.

442
00:18:37,545 --> 00:18:38,545
Yes it does.

443
00:18:38,890 --> 00:18:40,420
You made shitty humans.

444
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,700
I mean, seriously, you know,
especially when TV came, like

445
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:46,290
every year you're raised around

446
00:18:46,290 --> 00:18:46,440
it.

447
00:18:46,980 --> 00:18:47,040
Yeah.

448
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,330
That I was raised by television.

449
00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:49,590
You are, you know,

450
00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:49,770
yeah.

451
00:18:49,770 --> 00:18:54,000
My parents, you know, people talk about
Generation X having zero supervision.

452
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:55,350
I, I'm a boomer.

453
00:18:55,350 --> 00:18:56,430
I had zero supervision.

454
00:18:56,430 --> 00:19:01,410
My parents were like early, you know,
they were, they were in a crisis in

455
00:19:01,410 --> 00:19:04,110
their marriage, in their personal
individually, they're each having.

456
00:19:04,590 --> 00:19:08,700
Crisis of being middle aged in that time
period and the crisis in the marriage.

457
00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:13,050
And, um, they came to Zen
separately and realized, okay,

458
00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:14,160
it did save their marriage.

459
00:19:14,190 --> 00:19:17,730
They ended up being married 63
years, um, because they, they

460
00:19:17,730 --> 00:19:20,430
found something to, that they both
believed in and could do together.

461
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:20,820
Right?

462
00:19:21,210 --> 00:19:24,420
And, um, that's a whole other career.

463
00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:27,450
They're, they're there 46 years
before they, before they died.

464
00:19:27,450 --> 00:19:31,020
So they, they really were fully
embedded in, in the culture.

465
00:19:31,020 --> 00:19:36,690
My mother was the first, uh, at the first
woman leader of a zen temple in America.

466
00:19:37,020 --> 00:19:39,690
Um, so she's, she, she, she's her
own, she's her own mucky muck.

467
00:19:39,690 --> 00:19:41,460
She has her own wiki page actually.

468
00:19:41,610 --> 00:19:43,470
Um, which is hilarious to me.

469
00:19:43,770 --> 00:19:48,770
Um, but the, so my, my parents did
not care for what I did, but they

470
00:19:48,770 --> 00:19:50,180
also did not make a big fuss of it.

471
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:54,440
They, they, they, my mother finally,
after 25 years of sitting on a cushion,

472
00:19:55,340 --> 00:20:01,430
um, she said, you know, I was upset
because you didn't do as I expected, but.

473
00:20:01,805 --> 00:20:04,025
I realize expectations are my problem.

474
00:20:04,525 --> 00:20:04,615
Oh,

475
00:20:05,115 --> 00:20:07,725
and that, so, and you're,
so, you're a parent.

476
00:20:08,055 --> 00:20:09,555
You're a boomer child.

477
00:20:09,615 --> 00:20:12,575
You're from the boomer,
and you're amazingly sweet.

478
00:20:13,565 --> 00:20:13,715
Yeah.

479
00:20:13,715 --> 00:20:18,275
Our parents were boomers and we make fun
of them because they're such assholes.

480
00:20:18,335 --> 00:20:20,885
I mean, well, I did, I I never had kids.

481
00:20:20,915 --> 00:20:22,385
They're the ones now

482
00:20:22,385 --> 00:20:23,375
that I never had kids.

483
00:20:23,375 --> 00:20:24,155
And I'm the youngest.

484
00:20:24,655 --> 00:20:24,735
Youngest.

485
00:20:24,740 --> 00:20:27,670
You're the smartest woman on earth.

486
00:20:28,540 --> 00:20:32,320
Thank you for thinking so, but just
here, it, it, it, it embarrassing to see

487
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,320
how other, because there are a lot of
TikTok and, and YouTube, you know, of

488
00:20:35,410 --> 00:20:38,530
millennials talking about their boom, you
know, making fun of their boomer parents.

489
00:20:38,530 --> 00:20:39,790
It's like, Ooh, ooh.

490
00:20:40,150 --> 00:20:41,470
I do have a bag of bags.

491
00:20:41,970 --> 00:20:45,420
I do have a bag of bags because
you never know when you need a bag.

492
00:20:45,660 --> 00:20:48,035
But, um, I'm, I'm, I am.

493
00:20:48,315 --> 00:20:48,970
I, I am.

494
00:20:49,470 --> 00:20:53,130
I know I'm, I'm boomer age, but I'm
not boomer minded in some things.

495
00:20:53,130 --> 00:20:53,910
I'm boomer minded.

496
00:20:54,330 --> 00:20:56,280
How do you use this application again?

497
00:20:56,940 --> 00:21:00,870
You know, how do I sync up my
devices, but, uh, not have, not,

498
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:04,260
not being a parent has made all the,
for me, has made all the difference.

499
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:05,040
Oh man.

500
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,900
Child being child free has
made all the difference.

501
00:21:06,925 --> 00:21:08,070
Are you, are you child free?

502
00:21:08,570 --> 00:21:10,520
We actually have five kids.

503
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,990
We have a very full house,

504
00:21:12,110 --> 00:21:12,500
so

505
00:21:13,250 --> 00:21:13,550
Thank you.

506
00:21:13,550 --> 00:21:14,210
He

507
00:21:14,330 --> 00:21:14,900
we're blended.

508
00:21:15,050 --> 00:21:15,140
Yeah.

509
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:16,810
We're four years apart.

510
00:21:16,810 --> 00:21:17,500
I'm 48.

511
00:21:17,530 --> 00:21:18,460
He's 44.

512
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,020
Um, I had my first child, so I was
told I was never going to have kids.

513
00:21:23,650 --> 00:21:29,910
And, um, on my second marriage,
we just, you know, decided

514
00:21:29,910 --> 00:21:31,230
to just throw it to the wind.

515
00:21:31,230 --> 00:21:32,430
And neither of us were told.

516
00:21:32,430 --> 00:21:35,630
We were told, both told that we could
never have kids, Kim again and me.

517
00:21:35,630 --> 00:21:36,080
Never.

518
00:21:36,380 --> 00:21:38,960
And boom, I had my first child.

519
00:21:39,545 --> 00:21:42,005
I was 31 1.

520
00:21:42,245 --> 00:21:43,505
Oh, so you still have kids at home?

521
00:21:43,535 --> 00:21:44,705
You still have minor children?

522
00:21:45,125 --> 00:21:45,635
We do.

523
00:21:45,635 --> 00:21:46,985
We have two 14-year-old

524
00:21:47,540 --> 00:21:54,415
and we, and then I have a almost
15 year has a 26 not biological,

525
00:21:54,415 --> 00:22:00,685
and then two biological that are
1920 and one that just turned 15.

526
00:22:00,685 --> 00:22:02,905
So they're, all of our kids are
the same age under the roof.

527
00:22:03,505 --> 00:22:04,015
Wow.

528
00:22:04,045 --> 00:22:04,285
That's

529
00:22:04,285 --> 00:22:04,525
sort of,

530
00:22:04,975 --> 00:22:05,575
they get on.

531
00:22:05,575 --> 00:22:06,355
Okay.

532
00:22:06,445 --> 00:22:07,075
Oh yeah.

533
00:22:07,075 --> 00:22:09,295
We've been together for 15 years.

534
00:22:09,795 --> 00:22:10,455
The babies.

535
00:22:10,455 --> 00:22:11,955
We call 'em the babies of 15 year olds.

536
00:22:12,075 --> 00:22:13,215
That's all they know.

537
00:22:13,335 --> 00:22:13,545
Oh.

538
00:22:13,545 --> 00:22:13,605
Um,

539
00:22:13,725 --> 00:22:14,445
that's pretty great.

540
00:22:14,490 --> 00:22:16,455
I mean, I, so yeah,
that's, I I'm an auntie.

541
00:22:16,455 --> 00:22:17,235
I love being an auntie.

542
00:22:17,235 --> 00:22:18,285
I love being a great auntie.

543
00:22:18,285 --> 00:22:19,155
Again, I love kids.

544
00:22:19,425 --> 00:22:23,655
I knew early I did not have it in
me to be, I knew I'd fuck a kid up.

545
00:22:24,225 --> 00:22:25,185
I just, I just knew it.

546
00:22:25,245 --> 00:22:27,405
Um, 'cause I didn't know about trauma.

547
00:22:27,405 --> 00:22:32,085
C-P-T-S-D and, and all the things,
but I definitely knew that I wasn't

548
00:22:32,085 --> 00:22:36,045
mommy material because I know how
much it took to be half at My mother

549
00:22:36,045 --> 00:22:39,795
really wanted to be better at this,
and I could see she was trying so

550
00:22:39,795 --> 00:22:41,955
hard to be a better mom than she had.

551
00:22:42,645 --> 00:22:42,885
And it,

552
00:22:43,155 --> 00:22:43,905
you have no idea.

553
00:22:43,905 --> 00:22:47,985
That is exhausting That and then being
in the lifestyle and still living life.

554
00:22:48,705 --> 00:22:48,915
Yeah.

555
00:22:48,915 --> 00:22:49,095
Parking

556
00:22:49,845 --> 00:22:50,295
exhausted.

557
00:22:50,310 --> 00:22:50,650
And it's,

558
00:22:50,985 --> 00:22:53,925
but at least you can leave your
kids home on a Saturday night.

559
00:22:54,585 --> 00:22:54,885
Yeah.

560
00:22:55,515 --> 00:22:59,175
People are like, oh, you guys are
bad parents because y'all don't

561
00:22:59,175 --> 00:23:00,675
choose each other all the time.

562
00:23:00,735 --> 00:23:03,975
Do you find that now I have a
really good, I have a question.

563
00:23:03,975 --> 00:23:05,925
So you're in the lifestyle.

564
00:23:06,425 --> 00:23:13,835
Do you find it hard to connect with people
who are not parents or who are parents?

565
00:23:13,835 --> 00:23:17,255
Like, I know that you're in your
sixties, but I'm sure that, I mean,

566
00:23:17,255 --> 00:23:22,295
you're smoking hot, so I'm sure
that, you know, there's these guys

567
00:23:22,295 --> 00:23:24,275
who like the cougars and stuff like

568
00:23:24,275 --> 00:23:24,365
that.

569
00:23:24,365 --> 00:23:24,905
Oh, for sure.

570
00:23:25,445 --> 00:23:26,525
That's, that's always hot.

571
00:23:27,005 --> 00:23:28,295
I'm not looking for relationships.

572
00:23:28,295 --> 00:23:29,675
I'm twi, I'm twice divorced.

573
00:23:29,675 --> 00:23:35,825
So for me, the, the, the sex that I have,
um, off camera is strictly sports sex.

574
00:23:35,825 --> 00:23:36,965
So is that gonna be at a party?

575
00:23:36,965 --> 00:23:38,375
It's gonna be with an old friend.

576
00:23:38,375 --> 00:23:39,965
I don't go out and pick up new people.

577
00:23:40,055 --> 00:23:42,365
I don't, I don't have the
energy, the bandwidth for that.

578
00:23:42,875 --> 00:23:48,245
Um, and honestly, uh, I don't,
I don't need Dick the way that

579
00:23:48,245 --> 00:23:49,840
I, what, you know, I, so I I you

580
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,840
just became my

581
00:23:51,605 --> 00:23:52,445
don't person on her.

582
00:23:52,450 --> 00:23:56,405
I just, I don't, I I'm, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna let you in on a big secret.

583
00:23:56,905 --> 00:23:57,895
I have been fucked.

584
00:23:58,395 --> 00:23:58,515
I,

585
00:23:59,110 --> 00:24:02,260
so for me, you know, me and I, I
don't need to fuck anymore If I, if

586
00:24:02,275 --> 00:24:06,760
I, I I, I could give up intercourse,
um, quite easily because a oral sex

587
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,530
is where it's at for me personally.

588
00:24:08,770 --> 00:24:12,250
Um, you know, uh, blow jobs
or no blow jobs or no jobs,

589
00:24:12,370 --> 00:24:15,070
tears right now, like, oh my God,

590
00:24:15,790 --> 00:24:15,940
no.

591
00:24:15,940 --> 00:24:18,550
So all these, all these young guys, they
want, they, they say they want an older

592
00:24:18,550 --> 00:24:19,930
woman who fucks like a 30-year-old.

593
00:24:19,930 --> 00:24:21,460
It's like, no, I'm postmenopausal.

594
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,600
Um, I do not, I do not need
penis in that way anymore.

595
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,210
And no, you cannot show
me a good time that way.

596
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:30,760
And all the young guys, all the young
guys, all the other guys wanna be with me.

597
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,430
It's like, honey, you could
not, you, you would not laugh.

598
00:24:33,490 --> 00:24:35,350
You couldn't, you couldn't
tolerate the hand job.

599
00:24:35,530 --> 00:24:35,680
You,

600
00:24:36,190 --> 00:24:38,320
how many times have
everything that she just said?

601
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,790
How many times I'm in, I'm 48.

602
00:24:39,850 --> 00:24:40,960
How many times have I said that?

603
00:24:40,990 --> 00:24:41,230
Like,

604
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:41,740
all the time

605
00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:43,990
I, it's

606
00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:44,350
hard.

607
00:24:44,350 --> 00:24:46,480
And there's younger guys who are
always knocking down the door

608
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,670
trying to go, Hey, you know, I
can really show you a good time.

609
00:24:48,670 --> 00:24:49,390
I'm like, you know,

610
00:24:50,050 --> 00:24:51,250
but, but can, but can you?

611
00:24:52,090 --> 00:24:55,510
You know, my thing is, I'm, I'm very
confident, you know, I know this

612
00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:58,960
woman and we know each other very
well, and I know that there's nobody

613
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,010
that can please me the way I can.

614
00:25:00,010 --> 00:25:02,710
But these guys, they,
they really alpha it out.

615
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,190
They're watching too much porn, but don't
figure, so I tell, tell guys all the

616
00:25:06,190 --> 00:25:10,720
time, porn is so, people should know porn.

617
00:25:11,350 --> 00:25:17,830
Porn is, porn is a weird amalgamation
of Monster truck rallies.

618
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:24,730
WE Wrestling, sporting Event, bad
dinner theater, um, uh, a little bit

619
00:25:24,730 --> 00:25:31,360
of a lifestyle, a life, uh, wildlife
documentary and a big old dollop of,

620
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,420
you know, misogyny and, and sexism.

621
00:25:34,450 --> 00:25:36,550
I mean, just 'cause it is so young.

622
00:25:36,550 --> 00:25:40,540
Men are looking at porn where the
women, any woman in porn needs

623
00:25:40,540 --> 00:25:43,510
Dick, I need dick and you are it.

624
00:25:43,915 --> 00:25:44,665
Come fuck me.

625
00:25:44,665 --> 00:25:46,675
Because that's, that's the
point of a porno movie.

626
00:25:46,675 --> 00:25:48,220
It's not about That's what you want.

627
00:25:48,220 --> 00:25:48,500
Makes funny.

628
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,615
No, but, but because it's for
masturbation and in masturbation,

629
00:25:52,615 --> 00:25:53,725
there's no room for nuance.

630
00:25:53,725 --> 00:25:56,245
There's no room for subtlety,
there's no room for feelings.

631
00:25:56,515 --> 00:25:59,875
It's just a, a visual thing
that you get to look at.

632
00:26:00,115 --> 00:26:00,835
It's like popcorn.

633
00:26:00,835 --> 00:26:01,495
It's disposable.

634
00:26:01,525 --> 00:26:02,845
Porn's meant to be disposable.

635
00:26:03,205 --> 00:26:08,095
Um, that's why, that's why even if
porn stopped making tomorrow, no

636
00:26:08,725 --> 00:26:11,965
thousand people could watch all the
available movies out there, because,

637
00:26:12,445 --> 00:26:13,525
but it's always based on the news.

638
00:26:13,525 --> 00:26:17,035
So that is a indictment of our
culture and the disrespect we offer

639
00:26:17,035 --> 00:26:18,385
sex to women and all the things.

640
00:26:18,385 --> 00:26:20,965
That's, that's a whole other conversation.

641
00:26:21,595 --> 00:26:26,515
But the, i the idea because in our
culture of sex education is such a

642
00:26:26,905 --> 00:26:32,155
weird non thing that people look at the,
because the sex and pornography is real.

643
00:26:32,185 --> 00:26:33,055
It is a real penis.

644
00:26:33,085 --> 00:26:34,165
It is a real vagina.

645
00:26:34,285 --> 00:26:35,215
They are really touching.

646
00:26:35,905 --> 00:26:38,905
They don't know because we have
no media literacy and critical

647
00:26:38,905 --> 00:26:40,015
thinking in our country, they.

648
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,820
Then stop and go, this is a movie.

649
00:26:43,150 --> 00:26:45,610
And in real life your mileage may vary.

650
00:26:46,110 --> 00:26:46,830
So

651
00:26:47,130 --> 00:26:47,250
yeah,

652
00:26:47,250 --> 00:26:50,670
you get the guys who find you
attractive and they're young.

653
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:54,060
All they know is hard want in.

654
00:26:54,390 --> 00:26:55,260
They, they're not they.

655
00:26:55,260 --> 00:26:58,020
And so, and they, they
think you want that too.

656
00:26:58,050 --> 00:27:02,700
So it's a big, it's, it's taken me a
long time to say in public, I'm probably

657
00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:04,020
not gonna fuck on camera anymore.

658
00:27:04,020 --> 00:27:08,280
I'm, I've come, I'm doing scenes again,
but not fucking, and I have to realize

659
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,490
that if people are disappointed with
that, I've done a thousand boy girl

660
00:27:11,490 --> 00:27:16,430
scenes, you can go find any one of those
thousand scenes and ha and have at it,

661
00:27:16,435 --> 00:27:16,815
have fun,

662
00:27:17,125 --> 00:27:18,800
have ha have fun with the,

663
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,380
you know, and, and I, I
am, you know, I grew up.

664
00:27:21,770 --> 00:27:22,550
Watching porn.

665
00:27:22,550 --> 00:27:23,180
I love porn.

666
00:27:23,330 --> 00:27:27,320
But I will say that the problem
with it is, it's that whole

667
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,090
fantasy versus reality thing.

668
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:31,850
And especially when it comes
to the lifestyle and people

669
00:27:31,850 --> 00:27:33,050
coming into the lifestyle.

670
00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:36,170
A lot of these younger people,
they, they know what they've seen

671
00:27:36,170 --> 00:27:39,260
on, on clips, on, on, it's no,

672
00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:41,450
they don't see the negotiation.

673
00:27:41,450 --> 00:27:43,910
They don't see the, the boundary setting.

674
00:27:43,910 --> 00:27:45,350
They don't see the safety measures.

675
00:27:45,350 --> 00:27:46,790
They don't, they hardly ever show loom.

676
00:27:46,790 --> 00:27:47,030
Exactly.

677
00:27:47,450 --> 00:27:54,050
Um, you So it is, it is a problem when
younger people are coming into the

678
00:27:54,050 --> 00:27:57,650
lifestyle because they don't have the
basis in sex education or sex positivity.

679
00:27:58,010 --> 00:28:02,720
'cause the, the whole sex positive
subculture than a bunch of regular people

680
00:28:02,930 --> 00:28:07,970
who want in, but they don't have the
emotional bandwidth to handle jealousy

681
00:28:07,970 --> 00:28:10,070
and boundaries and emotional regulation.

682
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:10,250
Yes.

683
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,770
And, but they never pay for it.

684
00:28:13,270 --> 00:28:17,350
It's like if you want the hot, if you want
a guaranteed hot Cougar experience, hire

685
00:28:17,350 --> 00:28:22,120
a Cougar age professional provider and
have at it, and she'll give you that show.

686
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:23,770
But in real life, she'll,

687
00:28:23,945 --> 00:28:24,880
she'll gimme that fun.

688
00:28:25,380 --> 00:28:26,340
It's a gig.

689
00:28:26,910 --> 00:28:27,420
It's a gig.

690
00:28:27,780 --> 00:28:30,780
So if you, so if you want it
for real and for sure you'll

691
00:28:30,780 --> 00:28:32,520
hire a pro and negotiate that.

692
00:28:32,790 --> 00:28:37,080
She's gonna be the hot cougar and you're
gonna be the college sophomore, whatever.

693
00:28:37,770 --> 00:28:37,980
Yeah.

694
00:28:38,010 --> 00:28:43,260
They don't know that in real life,
women can say no, but it's negotiation

695
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,290
and you have to be able to talk about
what you want and hear what other

696
00:28:46,290 --> 00:28:48,390
people want, and then act within that.

697
00:28:48,660 --> 00:28:50,250
And that's never, that's never discussed.

698
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:50,790
Right.

699
00:28:50,790 --> 00:28:51,300
As a gender.

700
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:51,780
And it's not.

701
00:28:51,870 --> 00:28:56,070
Have you seen a change from
where you started to now?

702
00:28:56,070 --> 00:29:00,645
Do you feel like we're getting,
uh, women as a, as a being?

703
00:29:01,125 --> 00:29:04,635
Do you feel like we're getting better now?

704
00:29:05,135 --> 00:29:07,625
We have so many tools now,
more than you did more tools.

705
00:29:07,980 --> 00:29:08,345
But now, but

706
00:29:08,345 --> 00:29:11,885
now the manosphere is,
is bigger than ever.

707
00:29:11,885 --> 00:29:14,075
And so now people are
being very much siloed.

708
00:29:14,465 --> 00:29:20,005
So men who are having trouble in life
instead of going to therapy and looking

709
00:29:20,005 --> 00:29:23,665
in the mirror, blaming feminism and
women wanting too, you know, too much.

710
00:29:24,115 --> 00:29:29,065
Um, and the, the manosphere thing is, you
know, um, 80% of women are going after

711
00:29:29,065 --> 00:29:31,225
20% of men and they want the six pack.

712
00:29:31,225 --> 00:29:34,470
And the six figures and six feet
learn that, which is just no, we,

713
00:29:34,490 --> 00:29:35,590
we saw a documentary.

714
00:29:35,620 --> 00:29:35,910
Yeah,

715
00:29:35,930 --> 00:29:39,865
he, he, it's very, it's very
distressing and it's really very common.

716
00:29:39,865 --> 00:29:45,405
So you, so the discourse around, so
Trump has made everything coser and

717
00:29:45,405 --> 00:29:51,105
Trump has this ripped the bandaid off
the, the misogyny and the racism and not

718
00:29:51,105 --> 00:29:55,005
be looking to say the quiet parts out
loud and vote the quiet parts out loud.

719
00:29:55,365 --> 00:29:57,465
So now it's very important that you.

720
00:29:57,855 --> 00:29:59,115
Pick your community.

721
00:29:59,415 --> 00:30:03,825
Right there is on the other, on the flip
side of the manosphere, I do run into

722
00:30:03,825 --> 00:30:08,175
people in their twenties who, who are
already happily poly in some kind of group

723
00:30:08,175 --> 00:30:10,125
situation or a loose friendship circle.

724
00:30:10,125 --> 00:30:12,285
The men are more casually
bisexual than they used to be.

725
00:30:12,585 --> 00:30:17,385
So for, for, so there is, there are
two subcultures that I see emerging,

726
00:30:17,415 --> 00:30:22,565
and I don't do a study of this, but
the classic bro culture that we see so

727
00:30:22,565 --> 00:30:28,805
much of, and then a quieter, more queer
inclusive, um, uh, green flag dudes who

728
00:30:28,805 --> 00:30:32,435
are just more able to talk about their
sexuality and what they want and then

729
00:30:32,495 --> 00:30:36,605
seek people who get, seek like-minded
people and engage them in it as opposed

730
00:30:36,605 --> 00:30:38,015
to trying to talk somebody into it.

731
00:30:38,465 --> 00:30:38,915
Um,

732
00:30:39,095 --> 00:30:39,515
yeah,

733
00:30:39,545 --> 00:30:44,405
it is, those people don't get much
press because there's nothing.

734
00:30:44,765 --> 00:30:47,555
The, the, there's nothing ations
about it, but happily living,

735
00:30:48,305 --> 00:30:49,595
non-monogamy, non monogamously.

736
00:30:49,985 --> 00:30:52,115
There's, you know, where's the
tension, where's the drama?

737
00:30:52,115 --> 00:30:53,165
Where's the story?

738
00:30:53,405 --> 00:30:58,055
So when you have a bunch of people
spewing misogynistic hate, um, that

739
00:30:58,055 --> 00:31:01,325
is more of a, you know, rage ba
that, that's gonna get more views.

740
00:31:01,655 --> 00:31:06,515
Um, it's important though that you keep
doing your podcast so that people who are

741
00:31:06,515 --> 00:31:10,895
looking for a beacon of hope and for the
community, their community can find you.

742
00:31:11,465 --> 00:31:11,825
Right?

743
00:31:12,095 --> 00:31:12,185
Yeah.

744
00:31:12,725 --> 00:31:15,455
Its really important that people
know that there is a different way

745
00:31:15,455 --> 00:31:20,965
to be than unhappily monogamous,
or, you know, someone once said,

746
00:31:21,205 --> 00:31:22,435
people don't wanna be monogamous.

747
00:31:22,435 --> 00:31:26,545
They want to appear monogamous because,
and our culture, monogamy still gets you

748
00:31:26,545 --> 00:31:31,195
social benefits, and so they don't want
to, and again, I, I mean, yeah, it's true.

749
00:31:31,705 --> 00:31:36,385
We have friends that, that
don't want to have that label.

750
00:31:36,385 --> 00:31:41,305
Like they're just whatever or whatever,
you know, and it's like, hmm, no, you're.

751
00:31:42,055 --> 00:31:42,955
Non-monogamous.

752
00:31:43,030 --> 00:31:43,490
It's what it's,

753
00:31:43,990 --> 00:31:44,290
yeah,

754
00:31:44,380 --> 00:31:44,770
but it

755
00:31:44,770 --> 00:31:46,390
can still hurt you at work.

756
00:31:46,450 --> 00:31:49,450
It can still hurt you in, in politics.

757
00:31:49,450 --> 00:31:52,930
I mean, so it's, I, I get, I
get why people are the fear.

758
00:31:53,410 --> 00:31:53,650
Yeah.

759
00:31:53,650 --> 00:31:55,240
So I, I, I've never had a straight job.

760
00:31:55,240 --> 00:32:00,130
I don't, I, I, well, you know, I'm going
up for jury duty in a, in a couple weeks.

761
00:32:00,130 --> 00:32:03,190
I hope, you know, you know, hopefully I
get recognized enough that people gonna

762
00:32:03,190 --> 00:32:04,825
go, no, we can't have her, you know?

763
00:32:05,260 --> 00:32:07,780
Um, uh, um,

764
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:13,740
it's just important that there are more.

765
00:32:14,430 --> 00:32:18,810
Ways for people to find information
about our, our culture, the, the culture

766
00:32:18,810 --> 00:32:22,170
of consensual non-monogamy, ethical,
non-monogamy, polyamory, swinging,

767
00:32:22,860 --> 00:32:27,990
whatever words I I like, I like, uh,
CNNC and m, consensual non-monogamy.

768
00:32:27,990 --> 00:32:29,430
That just covered, that's a big umbrella.

769
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,390
That's a big umbrella.

770
00:32:30,390 --> 00:32:30,400
Yeah.

771
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,990
Well, so I never liked throwing
ethical out there because it's assuming

772
00:32:33,990 --> 00:32:37,830
that there's a form of non-monogamy
that it's okay to be unethical.

773
00:32:37,835 --> 00:32:38,005
Yeah.

774
00:32:38,005 --> 00:32:40,245
It's like, no, like it's not,
so you didn't want that front.

775
00:32:40,245 --> 00:32:40,405
So,

776
00:32:40,665 --> 00:32:42,605
so I, I always like
consensual non-monogamy.

777
00:32:42,605 --> 00:32:44,970
That's so, I, I'm, I'm, I'm very
happy with consensual non monogamy.

778
00:32:45,365 --> 00:32:47,070
That, that, that's,
that's, that's what it is.

779
00:32:47,070 --> 00:32:50,520
It's, um, I, I tell young men all the
time that whatever's going on in your

780
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,740
head, you can have the sex life of
your dream with nobody being angry,

781
00:32:54,860 --> 00:32:57,280
sick, or pregnant if you do the work.

782
00:32:57,780 --> 00:32:58,070
Yeah.

783
00:32:58,075 --> 00:32:58,285
Yeah.

784
00:32:58,735 --> 00:32:59,665
It doesn't just happen.

785
00:32:59,665 --> 00:33:02,995
But if you do the personal
work, you can find a partner who

786
00:33:02,995 --> 00:33:05,785
wants that too, and find a whole
community who supports you in that.

787
00:33:06,265 --> 00:33:06,835
And.

788
00:33:07,810 --> 00:33:12,280
Or you can keep lying to your girlfriend
or, you know, those, I mean, I,

789
00:33:13,060 --> 00:33:18,280
I feel like it's easier for, and I'm, and
because I have kids of so many ages, um,

790
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:25,730
I feel like right now girls are coming
out more and being more free about it.

791
00:33:26,230 --> 00:33:28,500
Or females are then males.

792
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:33,080
Like the males are still scared
because some of us have raised

793
00:33:33,290 --> 00:33:37,220
misogynistic little assholes, you
know, and some of us have not.

794
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,750
Our boys are really good and they're very
inclusive, but I know that they start,

795
00:33:41,930 --> 00:33:43,970
like people around them are not, yeah.

796
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,940
So and so, and so then, you know, do.

797
00:33:47,690 --> 00:33:51,560
So your boys may never do those things
to, they would never, you know, take

798
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,670
advantage of someone who's drunker.

799
00:33:52,670 --> 00:33:55,190
But do they call out their
friend for saying bullshit shit?

800
00:33:55,690 --> 00:33:55,750
No.

801
00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:56,260
That's the thing.

802
00:33:56,260 --> 00:33:58,150
Yeah, because nobody
wants to be called out.

803
00:33:58,150 --> 00:33:59,620
Nobody wants to have that impaired.

804
00:33:59,620 --> 00:34:03,190
So, we'll, and we'll, we'll continue
until more men call out other men

805
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,370
because men are not gonna, no one's
gonna say, please stop raping us.

806
00:34:06,490 --> 00:34:07,540
Please stop raping us.

807
00:34:07,540 --> 00:34:09,190
It's only 'cause men
only listen to other men.

808
00:34:09,190 --> 00:34:11,560
Men do not listen to women,
men listen to other men.

809
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:12,670
Now I'm gonna remind that.

810
00:34:13,095 --> 00:34:17,020
And so if until enough
men go, dude, not cool.

811
00:34:17,020 --> 00:34:17,500
Fuck.

812
00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:18,430
What the fuck?

813
00:34:18,670 --> 00:34:22,450
And are willing to stand up and, and, and
hold without lying, nothing will change.

814
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,910
Locker room talk will not change.

815
00:34:25,090 --> 00:34:25,360
Period.

816
00:34:25,390 --> 00:34:26,830
To the guys who stay quiet.

817
00:34:26,830 --> 00:34:30,820
And I don't like it because, again, you
don't wanna be, I mean, social, social,

818
00:34:31,450 --> 00:34:33,850
social pressure to act in certain ways.

819
00:34:34,350 --> 00:34:38,480
So I don't, I don't, I don't know
what is required to change that.

820
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,530
'cause again, I'm not a parent.

821
00:34:40,030 --> 00:34:40,480
Yeah.

822
00:34:40,930 --> 00:34:42,160
You know, it takes a lot.

823
00:34:42,850 --> 00:34:43,600
It, no, it takes a lot.

824
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,510
But unless, unless boy, unless boys
change, unless the, the, the good

825
00:34:48,510 --> 00:34:52,200
men who would never do those things
start pushing back against the guys

826
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,920
who even who say those things and do
those things, nothing will change.

827
00:34:56,250 --> 00:34:58,830
Um, and the, and the even
more so in the right wing, the

828
00:34:58,830 --> 00:35:00,480
right wing is very homosocial.

829
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,070
It's very homoerotic, right?

830
00:35:02,070 --> 00:35:02,160
Yes.

831
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,570
They men though, men who claim to be
straight, they will have intercourse

832
00:35:06,570 --> 00:35:10,020
with women, but they reserves their
admiration and their, and their

833
00:35:10,020 --> 00:35:12,150
love and their appreciation for men.

834
00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:16,170
And they, they only really like
appreciation and admiration from

835
00:35:16,170 --> 00:35:20,010
other men to make them feel good
about themselves because women are

836
00:35:20,010 --> 00:35:23,690
still, you know, not, they're still.

837
00:35:24,095 --> 00:35:24,905
Quite disrespected.

838
00:35:24,905 --> 00:35:25,385
I have some books.

839
00:35:25,385 --> 00:35:27,365
I can email you some titles that will

840
00:35:27,365 --> 00:35:27,815
please

841
00:35:27,815 --> 00:35:27,965
do.

842
00:35:27,965 --> 00:35:29,045
Um, that will, that will help.

843
00:35:29,050 --> 00:35:30,605
But it's, but it's really,
it's really difficult.

844
00:35:30,635 --> 00:35:34,025
Um, I don't have this, this,
this chat is still not working.

845
00:35:34,505 --> 00:35:34,745
Nope.

846
00:35:34,895 --> 00:35:35,255
Okay.

847
00:35:35,315 --> 00:35:35,885
Not a problem.

848
00:35:36,155 --> 00:35:36,935
I'll send it later.

849
00:35:37,205 --> 00:35:37,655
Um, okay.

850
00:35:37,745 --> 00:35:37,955
And a

851
00:35:37,955 --> 00:35:39,845
great book for your, for
your boys too, actually.

852
00:35:39,905 --> 00:35:40,595
Uh, that

853
00:35:40,595 --> 00:35:40,655
Yeah.

854
00:35:40,835 --> 00:35:44,105
Uh, that you will like,
um, I will love that.

855
00:35:44,105 --> 00:35:44,345
I mean,

856
00:35:44,345 --> 00:35:51,365
they are, we are, you know, my husband's
very respectful, even in like, we not, and

857
00:35:51,365 --> 00:35:56,420
I say even in non-monogamy relationship,
he has always been respectful of me.

858
00:35:56,420 --> 00:35:56,580
I mean,

859
00:35:56,645 --> 00:36:00,545
even like as, as swingers, I was just
talking about this with the couple

860
00:36:00,545 --> 00:36:04,265
that we were, uh, hanging out with last
night, was that, you know, there's,

861
00:36:04,445 --> 00:36:09,725
there's a lot of men that will call
me over and have that one-on-one guy

862
00:36:09,725 --> 00:36:14,045
talk locker room talk, you know, and
it's like, oh, I'm gonna book that one

863
00:36:14,045 --> 00:36:15,425
and I'm gonna book that one tonight.

864
00:36:15,425 --> 00:36:17,735
And I'm, and it makes me
real uncomfortable because

865
00:36:17,765 --> 00:36:18,695
I was raised by women.

866
00:36:19,055 --> 00:36:21,455
And so that's very disrespectful.

867
00:36:21,980 --> 00:36:25,935
And, and so I sit back and I'm
like, that's not, that's not cool.

868
00:36:26,035 --> 00:36:26,935
You know, matter of fact,

869
00:36:27,255 --> 00:36:28,640
is that also not how it works?

870
00:36:29,180 --> 00:36:30,200
It's not how it works.

871
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:30,470
Baby.

872
00:36:30,860 --> 00:36:33,950
Women run swinging, baby women
are in charge of swinging.

873
00:36:33,950 --> 00:36:34,640
Sweetheart.

874
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,790
Always that you're just so cute.

875
00:36:36,790 --> 00:36:38,030
You're just accuse as your boy.

876
00:36:38,090 --> 00:36:41,585
You just accuse your boy, you're gonna
go do this and go have that girl.

877
00:36:41,585 --> 00:36:42,470
You're in death.

878
00:36:42,610 --> 00:36:43,030
So funny.

879
00:36:43,170 --> 00:36:43,390
And,

880
00:36:43,395 --> 00:36:45,215
you know, it's, and it's
a chest stumping thing.

881
00:36:45,215 --> 00:36:48,335
I don't know if they're trying to show
off for other men and this and that.

882
00:36:48,335 --> 00:36:51,815
You know, I've, I've always
been one of those that I'm, I'm

883
00:36:51,815 --> 00:36:53,555
not alpha, that's not my thing.

884
00:36:53,555 --> 00:36:55,265
Like, I'm confident in my own way.

885
00:36:55,265 --> 00:36:57,155
I know I can take care of
whatever I need to take care of.

886
00:36:57,485 --> 00:36:58,025
And that's cool.

887
00:36:58,025 --> 00:37:01,235
I can be myself and that's
why I'm so frigging happy.

888
00:37:01,235 --> 00:37:04,775
But I think a lot of these guys,
they just have this pent up.

889
00:37:05,275 --> 00:37:07,075
Nobody's ever really noticed me.

890
00:37:07,075 --> 00:37:08,815
And so they're ever,
they're gonna notice me now.

891
00:37:08,815 --> 00:37:08,875
The

892
00:37:09,025 --> 00:37:14,095
lack of intelligence and the
lack of maturity, you would

893
00:37:14,095 --> 00:37:15,785
think at even this age would.

894
00:37:16,615 --> 00:37:19,675
Speed there, but it's not for
a lot of men, men do anything

895
00:37:20,005 --> 00:37:21,445
except go to therapy again.

896
00:37:21,445 --> 00:37:27,355
So you were talking about to, you
know, toxic masculine behavior is the

897
00:37:27,775 --> 00:37:34,645
conflation of, of not having access to
your emotions with being strong makes you

898
00:37:34,645 --> 00:37:39,835
brittle and makes you fragile as, as you
have discovered in your own situation.

899
00:37:40,315 --> 00:37:45,325
Um, I heard something the other day that
I did not come up with, but I wish that

900
00:37:45,775 --> 00:37:47,485
men are not competing with other men.

901
00:37:47,515 --> 00:37:48,085
For women.

902
00:37:48,175 --> 00:37:51,655
Men are competing with, competing with
women's sense of peace and safety.

903
00:37:52,155 --> 00:37:52,515
Right.

904
00:37:52,515 --> 00:37:56,685
Because, because we no longer need
you for economic survival, there are

905
00:37:56,685 --> 00:37:58,875
things up with which we will not put.

906
00:37:59,535 --> 00:38:00,105
And

907
00:38:00,255 --> 00:38:01,425
my friend was just saying that

908
00:38:02,085 --> 00:38:02,415
Yeah.

909
00:38:02,475 --> 00:38:04,875
Rather, we'd rather be alone
with our cats and our vibrators

910
00:38:04,875 --> 00:38:06,315
than deal with a man baby.

911
00:38:06,615 --> 00:38:08,235
There's a new word called man keeping.

912
00:38:09,210 --> 00:38:13,320
Right, which is, which, it just like,
it sounds like it's a, it's a woman

913
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:18,240
who, who is having to finish raising
a man because his mama didn't do it.

914
00:38:18,660 --> 00:38:22,320
Uh, but all these guys who weaponized
incompetence, you know who, who, who,

915
00:38:22,620 --> 00:38:22,800
yeah.

916
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,970
Just are very hostile to their partners
and, and it's really quite distressing.

917
00:38:27,180 --> 00:38:31,830
Again, as a, I'm, I don't understand
heterosexuality, I don't, I don't, I

918
00:38:31,830 --> 00:38:36,960
don't understand being monosexual the
only one, one gender is attractive to me,

919
00:38:37,260 --> 00:38:39,690
so I don't understand monogamy, right?

920
00:38:39,690 --> 00:38:44,370
So I don't, so I can only imagine if
I'm a woman who's oriented to, I want

921
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,500
a single partner of a man variety.

922
00:38:46,890 --> 00:38:50,070
I could only, I can barely
imagine how difficult it is to.

923
00:38:50,790 --> 00:38:53,820
To find him, especially when you find
out about the rape academy with all

924
00:38:53,820 --> 00:38:55,055
the hits that, that, you know mm-hmm.

925
00:38:55,135 --> 00:38:59,340
Just when you see the deep, deep,
deep misogyny that's baked into all

926
00:38:59,340 --> 00:39:05,160
the laws and all the customs, I, I
would feel despairing too, if I was a

927
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:09,960
normie, trying to find my, trying to
find a, a partner within that structure

928
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,610
when I only want one and I want him
to be faithful to me and I wanna be

929
00:39:14,610 --> 00:39:17,340
faithful to him, and I want only one.

930
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,730
I don't know how you, I don't know how.

931
00:39:19,730 --> 00:39:22,130
And then on top of that, whatever
sexual trauma I have that makes it

932
00:39:22,130 --> 00:39:25,460
difficult, easy for me to become sexually
comfortable with a person and all the

933
00:39:25,460 --> 00:39:27,080
layers, I don't know how people do it.

934
00:39:27,350 --> 00:39:31,520
Um, who want a more con, who are wired
for more conventional, conventional,

935
00:39:31,610 --> 00:39:34,190
traditional expression of, of sex.

936
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,700
Um, I, I, uh, I don't understand.

937
00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:38,270
I don't understand it.

938
00:39:38,900 --> 00:39:41,510
Do you live your, do you have a poly life?

939
00:39:41,510 --> 00:39:42,740
Is that what you would label?

940
00:39:42,770 --> 00:39:44,240
If you have to put a name on it?

941
00:39:44,930 --> 00:39:46,640
I'm gonna say non-monogamous, right?

942
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:47,570
So poly.

943
00:39:47,690 --> 00:39:50,000
So I get them more of a
swinger than I am poly.

944
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,360
I, I have lots of close
friends and sex with them is

945
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:54,620
an option when we're together.

946
00:39:55,010 --> 00:39:57,860
Um, but we don't maintain relationship.

947
00:39:57,860 --> 00:39:59,600
I don't send Valentine's cards, you know?

948
00:40:00,110 --> 00:40:02,630
Um, it's, I guess it depends.

949
00:40:02,660 --> 00:40:07,250
It def it depends with options because
the, the be the benefit is not automatic.

950
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,400
It's not like, you know, if I see them,
we're gonna have sex, but if I see them

951
00:40:10,430 --> 00:40:13,580
in the sex positive community, we could
talk about where you're at tonight.

952
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:15,410
Um, I,

953
00:40:15,910 --> 00:40:16,720
that just keeps changing.

954
00:40:16,870 --> 00:40:17,380
I, I

955
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:17,890
love it.

956
00:40:18,390 --> 00:40:23,100
So I also, I think Polly has, I think
poll is very part, you know, what it

957
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:24,570
means to me, what it means to you.

958
00:40:24,780 --> 00:40:27,690
So non, non-monogamous
versus swinger versus Polly.

959
00:40:27,690 --> 00:40:32,060
So for me, poly implies a
more ongoing relational.

960
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:33,020
Mm.

961
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:34,120
Relational.

962
00:40:34,270 --> 00:40:34,540
Yeah.

963
00:40:34,780 --> 00:40:34,810
Relat.

964
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,740
Like, so with swingers, I don't talk to
you between swing parties when I say,

965
00:40:38,740 --> 00:40:40,810
oh my gosh, how, how you guys doing?

966
00:40:40,810 --> 00:40:41,860
Hey, whatcha you move for tonight?

967
00:40:41,860 --> 00:40:44,950
And, you know, so, but in between
swing parties, I don't call people.

968
00:40:44,950 --> 00:40:45,670
I don't talk to them.

969
00:40:45,670 --> 00:40:47,260
I don't say, Hey, what
doing wanna go to dinner?

970
00:40:47,770 --> 00:40:49,690
Um, I don't do that much.

971
00:40:50,110 --> 00:40:50,590
Um,

972
00:40:50,650 --> 00:40:52,210
it's just, uh, it's just,

973
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,800
it's just, so for me it's just social.

974
00:40:53,980 --> 00:40:57,220
Um, again, I don't, but also I don't
go to swing parties to get laid.

975
00:40:57,430 --> 00:40:59,440
I go to swing parties to
help other people get laid.

976
00:40:59,890 --> 00:41:00,250
Right.

977
00:41:00,340 --> 00:41:02,830
So I, I am, I'm the ultimate
unicorn at a swing party.

978
00:41:02,830 --> 00:41:03,430
I'm here to help.

979
00:41:03,430 --> 00:41:05,470
I'm, I'm the, I'm the
manic pixie dream girl.

980
00:41:05,740 --> 00:41:07,420
I'm here to lay a great time on you.

981
00:41:07,425 --> 00:41:08,890
I'm, I'm a bit of a stone top.

982
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:10,330
Okay.

983
00:41:10,420 --> 00:41:12,610
Meaning I, I, I do to others.

984
00:41:12,610 --> 00:41:15,130
I don't really need you to do to me.

985
00:41:15,630 --> 00:41:15,780
Huh?

986
00:41:16,110 --> 00:41:18,570
So, women who say that I'm,
I'm bi from the waist up.

987
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:19,290
That's fine.

988
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:20,340
I don't want you to eat me out.

989
00:41:20,340 --> 00:41:20,730
We're good.

990
00:41:20,730 --> 00:41:21,360
We're good sweetheart.

991
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:21,900
And lay back.

992
00:41:21,900 --> 00:41:22,620
Have a good time.

993
00:41:22,620 --> 00:41:23,490
Suck your husband's dick.

994
00:41:23,490 --> 00:41:24,180
We'll eat you out.

995
00:41:24,555 --> 00:41:27,165
We're, we're gonna have a great,
we're gonna have a great time.

996
00:41:27,495 --> 00:41:29,415
Um, so, but that's just me.

997
00:41:29,865 --> 00:41:34,845
My, I'm not multiple, feel like I don't,
I don't, I don't, I don't come easily

998
00:41:34,845 --> 00:41:38,385
Nina somewhere in here
that she is just like,

999
00:41:38,445 --> 00:41:40,605
I'm, I, I, I like helping,
I like doing to others.

1000
00:41:40,605 --> 00:41:41,535
I like playing with bodies.

1001
00:41:41,535 --> 00:41:42,885
I like helping other people have sex.

1002
00:41:42,885 --> 00:41:45,015
That's my favorite thing is
helping two other people have sex.

1003
00:41:45,045 --> 00:41:47,475
I love running, I love
running, um, gang bank.

1004
00:41:47,475 --> 00:41:48,435
I love running trains.

1005
00:41:48,795 --> 00:41:50,925
So the person at the bottom
who's having the train can

1006
00:41:50,925 --> 00:41:52,335
just relax and, and go there.

1007
00:41:52,665 --> 00:41:56,205
And I'm making sure that, you
know, boundaries are respected

1008
00:41:56,205 --> 00:41:59,895
and safer sex protocol that
we've agreed upon is followed.

1009
00:42:00,195 --> 00:42:04,995
So I don't, I don't, I don't not, I don't
go to swing parties to get to get fucked.

1010
00:42:05,610 --> 00:42:06,465
I, I go there.

1011
00:42:06,570 --> 00:42:08,145
I, I personally go there to.

1012
00:42:08,985 --> 00:42:11,715
Show other people a good time
and to get and recklessly

1013
00:42:11,715 --> 00:42:13,275
eyeball other people having sex.

1014
00:42:13,875 --> 00:42:16,365
Well, you know, Nina, I wanna take
a little sidebar there because

1015
00:42:16,370 --> 00:42:20,055
you, you, you went into, uh, like
trains and gang bangs and whatnot.

1016
00:42:20,325 --> 00:42:24,165
This woman here, she, one of her
fantasies is to do a, a gang bang.

1017
00:42:24,585 --> 00:42:26,385
And she's been very vocal on it.

1018
00:42:26,445 --> 00:42:26,535
I

1019
00:42:26,535 --> 00:42:27,705
was told it's a train.

1020
00:42:27,705 --> 00:42:29,955
Well, I, I dunno, I dunno
what the actual label is.

1021
00:42:29,955 --> 00:42:32,775
So a train is one person
after another first.

1022
00:42:32,955 --> 00:42:35,355
And a gang bang is all
hands on you at once.

1023
00:42:35,355 --> 00:42:36,345
A train is

1024
00:42:36,885 --> 00:42:39,375
So you'd want one after one, one
after another, after another.

1025
00:42:40,035 --> 00:42:41,115
No, I'd like the gang bang.

1026
00:42:41,115 --> 00:42:41,810
All the gang bang.

1027
00:42:42,045 --> 00:42:43,485
So, so you can absolutely.

1028
00:42:43,485 --> 00:42:47,355
So here's what, so if as the partner
there, um, first you find out from her

1029
00:42:47,595 --> 00:42:49,545
who does she wanna be in her gang bang.

1030
00:42:50,045 --> 00:42:53,885
So, and that's the, that's the tough part
is that she, so, and this was something

1031
00:42:53,885 --> 00:42:57,725
that she was gonna talk to you about, was
that she's had difficulty finding men.

1032
00:42:58,475 --> 00:43:02,735
Um, there's not been a lot of
really good experiences, uh, in

1033
00:43:02,795 --> 00:43:04,715
the lifestyle for her as far as

1034
00:43:04,715 --> 00:43:05,435
Nina

1035
00:43:05,435 --> 00:43:05,525
men.

1036
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,930
Nina girl, help me out.

1037
00:43:09,430 --> 00:43:14,200
So in, in, in your, in your swing
community, um, so a a a gang

1038
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,700
bang is in, in porn Atlanta.

1039
00:43:15,700 --> 00:43:19,480
Gang bang is five guys because
the airtight plus two hand jobs.

1040
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,770
So first you get to figure out in a
gang, bang, what are your boundaries?

1041
00:43:23,770 --> 00:43:24,760
Like, nothing in your butt.

1042
00:43:25,210 --> 00:43:25,870
What, what?

1043
00:43:25,930 --> 00:43:29,470
So you just have to know
when all the hands are on me.

1044
00:43:29,530 --> 00:43:33,010
I know that this is not gonna
happen out of the blue, right?

1045
00:43:33,130 --> 00:43:33,955
Whatever, what, and whatever.

1046
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,240
So whatever your, whatever your fuck
no boundary is, just know what that is.

1047
00:43:37,810 --> 00:43:43,000
Then you, if you can find
three to five guys who you

1048
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,340
have liked on other occasions.

1049
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,320
And so it might, it takes
a bit of planning, right?

1050
00:43:47,620 --> 00:43:48,790
Because, um,

1051
00:43:49,180 --> 00:43:50,920
logistically it sounds like a nightmare.

1052
00:43:51,420 --> 00:43:52,740
It's very challenging, but you can do,

1053
00:43:52,740 --> 00:43:52,830
right?

1054
00:43:52,830 --> 00:43:53,310
Very challenge.

1055
00:43:53,310 --> 00:43:57,270
So do you, so first, do you even
know three to five men from your

1056
00:43:57,270 --> 00:44:00,700
swing life that you would want
to be there for you in that way?

1057
00:44:00,915 --> 00:44:01,005
Yes.

1058
00:44:01,845 --> 00:44:02,475
You named five.

1059
00:44:02,535 --> 00:44:02,865
Okay.

1060
00:44:03,345 --> 00:44:08,895
Now, um, so what you do then is
individually at your own time,

1061
00:44:09,135 --> 00:44:10,125
talk to each of them separately.

1062
00:44:10,125 --> 00:44:11,685
Hey, I like to plan.

1063
00:44:11,715 --> 00:44:15,465
I'm playing gang bang for Christmas,
new year is my birthday, whatever

1064
00:44:15,465 --> 00:44:17,085
that, so make it enough in advance.

1065
00:44:17,085 --> 00:44:18,165
It's not like next weekend.

1066
00:44:18,555 --> 00:44:21,285
And to say, is that something
that you could be part of

1067
00:44:21,285 --> 00:44:21,945
7:00 PM tonight?

1068
00:44:22,395 --> 00:44:22,605
Right?

1069
00:44:22,785 --> 00:44:26,145
Um, and so, um, is that something
could be thing you wanna be part of,

1070
00:44:26,145 --> 00:44:30,165
you know, and, uh, and if the guys
know each other, that, that does help.

1071
00:44:30,665 --> 00:44:33,425
If you don't have a timeline, just
let it be known at parties that, that

1072
00:44:33,455 --> 00:44:34,865
this is something you want to arrange.

1073
00:44:34,865 --> 00:44:37,715
Are there any men who would like
to do something like that with me?

1074
00:44:38,215 --> 00:44:39,060
And see who, period.

1075
00:44:39,250 --> 00:44:39,540
Okay.

1076
00:44:39,540 --> 00:44:39,580
I can do that.

1077
00:44:39,580 --> 00:44:41,605
And you know, see who, see who shows up.

1078
00:44:41,725 --> 00:44:42,175
Um,

1079
00:44:42,265 --> 00:44:46,705
well, so we've noticed that there's a
lot of men who struggle to perform with

1080
00:44:46,705 --> 00:44:51,745
other men, uh, present there or, you
know, with people watching or whatever.

1081
00:44:51,745 --> 00:44:53,065
Like, like, um,

1082
00:44:53,125 --> 00:44:53,575
it's so hard.

1083
00:44:53,575 --> 00:44:55,465
How can you be a swinger,
not be exhibitionistic?

1084
00:44:56,245 --> 00:44:56,755
I, I don't know.

1085
00:44:56,845 --> 00:45:01,525
We we're total exhibitionists, so we
we're in the middle beds of the club in

1086
00:45:01,525 --> 00:45:03,295
front of everybody putting on a show.

1087
00:45:03,715 --> 00:45:05,305
Like, that's the way we get down.

1088
00:45:06,175 --> 00:45:07,645
We're gonna have you come over one night.

1089
00:45:08,155 --> 00:45:08,305
Yeah.

1090
00:45:08,805 --> 00:45:10,335
Nina Harley weekend, guys.

1091
00:45:10,835 --> 00:45:15,875
So I, I totally, I totally get
the, because in porno it happens

1092
00:45:15,875 --> 00:45:19,085
all the time, but these porno
men are not like other men.

1093
00:45:19,085 --> 00:45:20,250
Right, right.

1094
00:45:20,250 --> 00:45:22,145
Um, because, and that's
why they can do this.

1095
00:45:22,175 --> 00:45:27,395
Uh, and actually now I just discovered the
other day that more men than I was aware

1096
00:45:27,395 --> 00:45:29,975
of also inject their dicks, which make it.

1097
00:45:30,515 --> 00:45:34,625
Virtually super easy to be hard
because you're hard, because chemicals.

1098
00:45:35,045 --> 00:45:40,565
Um, so back in the day when I was making
movies, Dick worked or didn't work.

1099
00:45:40,565 --> 00:45:41,585
There's no help for you.

1100
00:45:41,585 --> 00:45:45,365
So the guy, the, the guy who could do
that work was a certain kind of guy.

1101
00:45:45,365 --> 00:45:49,025
A little bit misogynistic, a little
bit narcissistic, a little bit

1102
00:45:49,025 --> 00:45:54,455
sociopathic, um, yeah, and very self,
very self-involved because a porno

1103
00:45:54,455 --> 00:45:58,205
guy has to, on a good day, he has
someone who will help him on a bad day.

1104
00:45:58,205 --> 00:46:02,945
He has to do it all himself, with her as
a prop, uh, against which he is working.

1105
00:46:02,945 --> 00:46:07,385
So porn sex is super
not sexy and romantic.

1106
00:46:07,415 --> 00:46:10,325
Yeah, some pairings are
better than other pairings.

1107
00:46:10,325 --> 00:46:14,375
You know, I, and I've, um, but you
know, the men are working very hard

1108
00:46:14,375 --> 00:46:18,335
to stay hard for as long as they need
to and perform masculinity, right?

1109
00:46:18,365 --> 00:46:20,225
'cause porn is very heteronormative.

1110
00:46:20,225 --> 00:46:21,785
It's very FAO centric.

1111
00:46:21,785 --> 00:46:25,865
It's very linear and in real
life, you know, you do a little

1112
00:46:25,865 --> 00:46:26,855
of this, you do a little of that.

1113
00:46:26,855 --> 00:46:33,005
So, real life sex, especially swinging sex
as you know, is more, it's more feminine.

1114
00:46:33,245 --> 00:46:34,505
You start some, you stop.

1115
00:46:34,505 --> 00:46:37,445
Some you, you know, you may
fuck, but not come with her.

1116
00:46:37,475 --> 00:46:39,755
'cause you wanna stay your
orga for your partner later.

1117
00:46:40,175 --> 00:46:40,475
You know?

1118
00:46:40,475 --> 00:46:42,545
It's just more like what
feels good right now.

1119
00:46:42,665 --> 00:46:44,915
And porn, we have a
schedule, we have lunch.

1120
00:46:45,125 --> 00:46:46,865
We have to get this scene shot.

1121
00:46:47,555 --> 00:46:51,145
We have, once we have life, um, no, we're
waiting for, and porn we're waiting.

1122
00:46:51,145 --> 00:46:53,785
Your the only thing staying
between us and lunch is your dick.

1123
00:46:53,785 --> 00:46:55,435
So top, top, get to it.

1124
00:46:55,855 --> 00:46:57,415
Um, so porn is goodness.

1125
00:46:57,775 --> 00:47:00,265
Porn is, porn is so unsexy.

1126
00:47:00,265 --> 00:47:03,355
It's so unromantic and it's so industrial.

1127
00:47:03,445 --> 00:47:04,435
That is, that is.

1128
00:47:04,870 --> 00:47:05,920
That is porn, right?

1129
00:47:06,250 --> 00:47:08,920
Um, but it's because it's a
professional media product.

1130
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:09,880
It's not real life.

1131
00:47:10,180 --> 00:47:13,960
So start with, this is a get
it out there in the community.

1132
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,040
You know, I want a gang,
bang, this is what I wanna do.

1133
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:21,210
And then I'm, uh, if you're interested
in being part of my gang, bang, you

1134
00:47:21,210 --> 00:47:26,010
know, drop me, uh, send me your email and
we'll start, we'll start, we'll start a,

1135
00:47:26,010 --> 00:47:27,300
start the application process.

1136
00:47:27,330 --> 00:47:27,450
Yeah.

1137
00:47:27,510 --> 00:47:31,385
First you have to leave a good
review on our, uh, podcast and then,

1138
00:47:31,565 --> 00:47:33,900
and follow us and Nina Hartley

1139
00:47:34,710 --> 00:47:35,910
start the application process.

1140
00:47:35,910 --> 00:47:40,860
So this, this is a, this is a process,
um, because they're gonna be some guys

1141
00:47:40,860 --> 00:47:43,110
who love the idea, uh, the guys who don't.

1142
00:47:43,110 --> 00:47:47,610
And so they will not send you their
email for the, for the selection process.

1143
00:47:47,970 --> 00:47:51,990
Um, but it may take, you know,
six months to, to organize.

1144
00:47:52,170 --> 00:47:56,190
But once you have your team, you may
be able to have semi-annual gang bangs.

1145
00:47:56,850 --> 00:47:57,180
Right.

1146
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,060
Um, years ago there was a
group of young men on the west

1147
00:48:00,060 --> 00:48:00,960
coast called the West Coast.

1148
00:48:01,020 --> 00:48:02,040
West Coast gang bangs.

1149
00:48:02,540 --> 00:48:05,180
Now there, there is a whole
gang paying subculture.

1150
00:48:05,540 --> 00:48:08,600
Um, uh, probably they're in Texas as well.

1151
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,800
Actually, I'll do some research for you
that these are men who, who this is what

1152
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,630
they, this is what, this is what they do.

1153
00:48:14,810 --> 00:48:20,890
Now that being said, that group is
often African American men because

1154
00:48:20,890 --> 00:48:23,380
there are many women out there who
are looking to be gang banged by

1155
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,835
black men while they're having black.

1156
00:48:25,875 --> 00:48:26,470
I have a question.

1157
00:48:26,740 --> 00:48:27,070
Yes.

1158
00:48:27,570 --> 00:48:28,830
Is it wrong?

1159
00:48:29,310 --> 00:48:33,660
I don't think it is, but I think our
culture and our community might think

1160
00:48:33,660 --> 00:48:38,550
it's wrong if you are attracted, I'm
not attracted to a lot of men a lot.

1161
00:48:38,550 --> 00:48:40,560
It's very hard for me to

1162
00:48:41,220 --> 00:48:41,400
like them.

1163
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:41,410
Okay.

1164
00:48:41,410 --> 00:48:41,640
Doesn't gonna make it hard.

1165
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,380
It's gonna be hard to get
your gang bang then if you're

1166
00:48:43,380 --> 00:48:43,470
not.

1167
00:48:43,470 --> 00:48:43,800
I know.

1168
00:48:43,950 --> 00:48:46,860
And, and, and a lot of our
friends have told me this,

1169
00:48:46,860 --> 00:48:48,210
you know, you can't be picky.

1170
00:48:49,140 --> 00:48:50,280
I can, you can be

1171
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:50,880
it into your body.

1172
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:51,570
You can be as picture as you

1173
00:48:51,570 --> 00:48:52,020
want.

1174
00:48:52,230 --> 00:48:54,120
This is my vagina, this is my mouth.

1175
00:48:54,930 --> 00:48:55,140
Thank you.

1176
00:48:55,140 --> 00:48:55,755
My is my,

1177
00:48:55,890 --> 00:48:56,100
this

1178
00:48:56,100 --> 00:48:59,100
is, yeah, this is not, and so I know
once they tell me that they're off

1179
00:48:59,100 --> 00:49:04,850
the list, but the ones who are very
supportive, and I find that that

1180
00:49:04,940 --> 00:49:07,310
is really hard in the community.

1181
00:49:07,370 --> 00:49:11,570
And that's why we can't, I can't
find like certain people now.

1182
00:49:11,630 --> 00:49:11,960
Now

1183
00:49:12,050 --> 00:49:15,110
if I'm just in it for eh
show, I need you to film.

1184
00:49:15,110 --> 00:49:17,450
Everybody has to be on only
fans, whatever, whatever.

1185
00:49:18,230 --> 00:49:19,160
Then I don't care.

1186
00:49:19,850 --> 00:49:23,620
But if it's for me and not a show.

1187
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:24,450
Fantasy.

1188
00:49:24,540 --> 00:49:25,170
You get to care.

1189
00:49:25,170 --> 00:49:26,130
You, you get to care.

1190
00:49:26,250 --> 00:49:29,190
It's better to have the fantasy for
five years before living it out than

1191
00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:30,720
rushing it and having go, oh man.

1192
00:49:31,220 --> 00:49:33,200
So definitely, definitely screwed.

1193
00:49:33,500 --> 00:49:36,320
You get, you get to, so start the process.

1194
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:37,730
I'm, I am, I am.

1195
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,680
I'm thinking I want a
gang bang for my 50th.

1196
00:49:40,010 --> 00:49:40,280
Right.

1197
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,520
So let's, you have, you have a two
year, two year timeline, and, and you'll

1198
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:48,590
just, you'll just, you know, um, you'll
just work your way through the process.

1199
00:49:48,590 --> 00:49:51,170
I like to go No, no, you, you'll work,
you'll work your way through the process.

1200
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,350
Um, so when you go to parties, you
may find, huh, there's a guy that

1201
00:49:54,350 --> 00:49:58,100
works really well with you and, and
your husband and on a two for one.

1202
00:49:58,100 --> 00:49:59,135
So he seemed pretty cool.

1203
00:49:59,135 --> 00:50:00,980
So he can go on the,
on the potential list.

1204
00:50:01,250 --> 00:50:01,460
Yeah.

1205
00:50:01,490 --> 00:50:05,950
Um, the, the, so first you get to have it.

1206
00:50:06,385 --> 00:50:08,155
You get to have, you get
to have what you want.

1207
00:50:08,245 --> 00:50:09,505
You get to have who you want.

1208
00:50:09,775 --> 00:50:13,195
You get to have it how you want, you
get to have it where you want, and

1209
00:50:13,195 --> 00:50:14,275
you get to have it when you want.

1210
00:50:14,605 --> 00:50:17,005
But because it is, you are working
with civilians and not, you're

1211
00:50:17,005 --> 00:50:19,405
not gonna hire five professionals
who know how to do this.

1212
00:50:19,705 --> 00:50:21,625
It's, the timeline is further.

1213
00:50:22,015 --> 00:50:22,465
That's all.

1214
00:50:22,465 --> 00:50:22,475
Yeah.

1215
00:50:22,735 --> 00:50:23,095
Yeah.

1216
00:50:23,305 --> 00:50:26,155
Because you have to work through
people's, uh, discomfort about

1217
00:50:26,665 --> 00:50:27,925
performing in the front of other men.

1218
00:50:28,255 --> 00:50:31,795
Um, so some guys that you'll, so we
go to parties, go, go to your parties,

1219
00:50:32,005 --> 00:50:34,555
pay attention who seems really ex,
who loves, who's the first one out

1220
00:50:34,555 --> 00:50:35,905
there to fuck in front other people?

1221
00:50:35,905 --> 00:50:39,775
Who's the first one to let him let himself
get his dick sucked on the dance floor.

1222
00:50:39,775 --> 00:50:41,365
So clearly that's an
exhibitionist, usually

1223
00:50:41,365 --> 00:50:41,485
me.

1224
00:50:41,985 --> 00:50:42,855
So you're, you're one of the

1225
00:50:42,855 --> 00:50:43,005
team.

1226
00:50:43,230 --> 00:50:44,625
You're so smart.

1227
00:50:44,625 --> 00:50:45,525
You're one, you're one of them.

1228
00:50:45,525 --> 00:50:46,845
So you're, you're on the team.

1229
00:50:46,935 --> 00:50:48,735
You, sir, are one of the five guys.

1230
00:50:48,825 --> 00:50:49,425
There you go.

1231
00:50:49,755 --> 00:50:51,405
Um, so you'll, you'll start.

1232
00:50:51,495 --> 00:50:55,035
So with, with this goal,
I'm very practical minded.

1233
00:50:55,035 --> 00:50:58,335
So with this goal, you'll start
looking at men at parties differently.

1234
00:50:58,335 --> 00:50:58,815
It's like, huh?

1235
00:50:59,315 --> 00:51:02,855
Because yes, bodies are important,
but in a gang bang, the energy's

1236
00:51:02,855 --> 00:51:04,775
important because you want
none of the men freaking out.

1237
00:51:04,925 --> 00:51:08,335
'cause you don't wanna have to,
um, babysit their emotions to make

1238
00:51:08,335 --> 00:51:09,805
them feel safe enough to get hard.

1239
00:51:09,805 --> 00:51:13,015
You wanna be able to go fuck and
take me away, calgon take me away.

1240
00:51:13,020 --> 00:51:13,080
Okay.

1241
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:13,090
Um,

1242
00:51:13,825 --> 00:51:14,035
okay,

1243
00:51:14,065 --> 00:51:16,645
so one, when you do get the gang
bang, you do, if you have, do

1244
00:51:16,645 --> 00:51:18,175
you have any good girlfriends?

1245
00:51:19,015 --> 00:51:19,285
Yes.

1246
00:51:19,375 --> 00:51:19,435
Yeah.

1247
00:51:19,615 --> 00:51:19,915
Okay.

1248
00:51:19,915 --> 00:51:22,885
So you want one of them to be
your, your, your, um, handler.

1249
00:51:22,915 --> 00:51:26,245
So your job in the gang bang
is just to fucking go there.

1250
00:51:26,245 --> 00:51:29,425
And her job is to make sure
that all safely sex protocols

1251
00:51:29,425 --> 00:51:33,715
are being followed, condom are
switched out as they need to be.

1252
00:51:33,745 --> 00:51:35,395
Leg text gloves are used
that they need to be.

1253
00:51:35,395 --> 00:51:37,285
So her job is to not be in the scene.

1254
00:51:37,465 --> 00:51:41,665
Her job is to be making sure
that all the boxes are ticked.

1255
00:51:41,665 --> 00:51:44,785
So you can just like be the
slutty slut, slut having,

1256
00:51:44,785 --> 00:51:46,435
having this amazing experience.

1257
00:51:46,735 --> 00:51:49,255
Um, and she's gonna be the
one to offer to offer water.

1258
00:51:49,255 --> 00:51:51,475
She's gonna be the one to, you know,
say, do you need some chocolate?

1259
00:51:51,745 --> 00:51:52,105
Right?

1260
00:51:52,315 --> 00:51:52,465
Um,

1261
00:51:52,465 --> 00:51:53,260
you need some chocolate?

1262
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,220
Whatever your, whatever your,
your snack of choice is.

1263
00:51:56,550 --> 00:51:58,800
I, I totally 100% agree.

1264
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,540
There should be one of
those for every party.

1265
00:52:00,750 --> 00:52:01,830
I had one once and

1266
00:52:02,250 --> 00:52:03,480
no, they, they're very,
they're very important.

1267
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:08,310
They're, they just said that way the
guys can just, so, so no one has to,

1268
00:52:08,310 --> 00:52:11,130
and she, you know, obviously she can,
she can tickle a ball here and there,

1269
00:52:11,130 --> 00:52:12,630
but her, her job mainly is to care.

1270
00:52:12,635 --> 00:52:15,930
Take you, it's like a doula
for, for labor and delivery.

1271
00:52:16,230 --> 00:52:19,800
It is her, the, the,
there's no name for her.

1272
00:52:19,950 --> 00:52:22,200
I, I'm gonna call the, call
the, call her the, the, uh,

1273
00:52:22,205 --> 00:52:23,580
the, the, the gang bang doula.

1274
00:52:23,580 --> 00:52:27,360
But the doula, her job is to make sure
that you have the best experience and

1275
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:31,410
manage as an interfaith between your
body and everybody else in the room,

1276
00:52:31,770 --> 00:52:35,940
and gatekeeper, and make sure that you
know, the looky-loos, don't get too close

1277
00:52:35,940 --> 00:52:37,650
and don't touch you without permission.

1278
00:52:37,650 --> 00:52:38,160
That kind of thing.

1279
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,650
So you can just go there and have that.

1280
00:52:41,205 --> 00:52:42,375
Oh man.

1281
00:52:42,375 --> 00:52:45,105
I'm so glad that we brought that
up because you know, she's been

1282
00:52:45,105 --> 00:52:46,425
talking about it for a while.

1283
00:52:46,935 --> 00:52:47,025
I know.

1284
00:52:47,025 --> 00:52:48,945
And we brought it up on
the show a few times.

1285
00:52:48,945 --> 00:52:53,445
And the thing is, is that I am
not a very good host of things.

1286
00:52:53,445 --> 00:52:54,555
Like I'm not good at events.

1287
00:52:54,555 --> 00:52:56,025
Like that's always been her thing.

1288
00:52:56,475 --> 00:52:59,595
And so I'm going, logistically
this sounds like a mess.

1289
00:52:59,835 --> 00:52:59,895
Yeah.

1290
00:52:59,895 --> 00:53:01,335
And I don't even know where to start

1291
00:53:01,605 --> 00:53:06,675
now, do you think, because now there's
so many, I mean, if you don't mind

1292
00:53:06,675 --> 00:53:08,685
me putting, talking about the pill.

1293
00:53:08,925 --> 00:53:09,015
Okay.

1294
00:53:09,555 --> 00:53:11,955
So Adam gets hurt easily.

1295
00:53:12,405 --> 00:53:13,635
Like it's not a problem.

1296
00:53:13,635 --> 00:53:16,245
He and I have a beautiful sex life.

1297
00:53:16,245 --> 00:53:18,465
Like people would be jealous

1298
00:53:18,615 --> 00:53:19,665
and I'm an exhibitionist, so

1299
00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:20,550
I love to perform

1300
00:53:20,550 --> 00:53:20,790
in front.

1301
00:53:21,060 --> 00:53:21,350
Yeah.

1302
00:53:21,450 --> 00:53:27,575
And so, but as he's gotten older and he,
we started playing at the clubs, you.

1303
00:53:28,075 --> 00:53:30,835
It's not very easily his, he's very

1304
00:53:31,825 --> 00:53:32,305
distracted by other

1305
00:53:32,305 --> 00:53:32,635
women.

1306
00:53:32,635 --> 00:53:32,935
Right.

1307
00:53:33,085 --> 00:53:36,505
So as an exhibitionist, I love, I
love to put on a show, but then as

1308
00:53:36,505 --> 00:53:39,685
soon as I see somebody getting hot
over our show and, and then I'm

1309
00:53:39,685 --> 00:53:42,615
all sudden, I'm looking at them and
I'm like, and things are changing.

1310
00:53:43,035 --> 00:53:47,870
So I, I try to, and I try to, uh,
pill, it's called Ro, it's called ro

1311
00:53:48,005 --> 00:53:48,665
RO,

1312
00:53:49,165 --> 00:53:53,605
and it's, it lasts, you take it as
a lozenge and it lasts 36 hours.

1313
00:53:53,995 --> 00:53:59,715
And essentially it's only when
I'm aroused, it makes it larger

1314
00:53:59,715 --> 00:54:02,295
almost and harder in a way.

1315
00:54:02,295 --> 00:54:03,315
It's the, it's You don't get from a

1316
00:54:03,315 --> 00:54:04,485
gas station, do you?

1317
00:54:05,175 --> 00:54:05,475
No.

1318
00:54:05,475 --> 00:54:05,805
No.

1319
00:54:05,810 --> 00:54:06,080
Uhuh, no.

1320
00:54:06,585 --> 00:54:07,605
It's doctor prescribed.

1321
00:54:07,605 --> 00:54:08,115
Yeah.

1322
00:54:08,205 --> 00:54:08,215
Yeah.

1323
00:54:08,595 --> 00:54:08,955
Yeah.

1324
00:54:09,455 --> 00:54:12,690
I am perfectly fine with that kind
of thing because whatever helps

1325
00:54:12,690 --> 00:54:16,020
a person be more relaxed in the
situation, have more confidence.

1326
00:54:16,650 --> 00:54:21,510
In the beginning of the, of the Viagra
era, I was, I was like, no, I, I,

1327
00:54:21,510 --> 00:54:26,160
I, I took pride in making it safe
enough for my partner to, to perform,

1328
00:54:26,370 --> 00:54:27,960
but then I realized, wait a minute.

1329
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,830
If it makes it easier for him to be
more focused on what's going on than

1330
00:54:31,830 --> 00:54:32,940
just his dick, I'm fine with it.

1331
00:54:32,970 --> 00:54:37,080
So if any kind of, um,
medication helps you.

1332
00:54:38,070 --> 00:54:41,850
Perform in a way that you like and
also helps you stay more present?

1333
00:54:41,850 --> 00:54:42,270
I'm down.

1334
00:54:42,270 --> 00:54:43,235
I'm totally down for that.

1335
00:54:43,290 --> 00:54:43,740
Yeah.

1336
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,650
And so, yeah, it's like
parts the part Viagra.

1337
00:54:46,830 --> 00:54:47,010
Mm-hmm.

1338
00:54:47,250 --> 00:54:50,370
And, uh, you know, it,
it, it works very well.

1339
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,540
Um, and if I, I don't really need it.

1340
00:54:54,545 --> 00:54:54,555
Yeah.

1341
00:54:54,555 --> 00:54:58,110
But it helps whenever we're putting
on a show, like if we know that we're

1342
00:54:58,110 --> 00:55:00,900
going to the club or we know that we're
gonna be at a house party, we know that

1343
00:55:00,900 --> 00:55:05,610
we're gonna have an audience, um, it
just takes the mind out it a little bit.

1344
00:55:05,610 --> 00:55:06,060
Perfect.

1345
00:55:06,930 --> 00:55:07,320
Go for it.

1346
00:55:07,710 --> 00:55:12,940
And that's like a lot of men don't,
they still have that mind that

1347
00:55:13,300 --> 00:55:14,920
women are gonna make fun of them.

1348
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:16,960
I was ashamed a lot because

1349
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:18,220
a lot of women will make fun of them.

1350
00:55:18,700 --> 00:55:18,940
What?

1351
00:55:18,940 --> 00:55:19,930
I'm not enough for you.

1352
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:21,820
I mean, so they, they see, and

1353
00:55:21,820 --> 00:55:23,260
for me it's the opposite.

1354
00:55:23,770 --> 00:55:24,605
Or for me, I'm,

1355
00:55:24,665 --> 00:55:24,885
I'm,

1356
00:55:24,890 --> 00:55:25,690
I'm okay.

1357
00:55:25,690 --> 00:55:26,650
I don't care.

1358
00:55:26,650 --> 00:55:32,580
Like be honest with yourself because
you trying to shove a soft dick

1359
00:55:32,580 --> 00:55:35,310
inside of me is just such a turnoff.

1360
00:55:35,910 --> 00:55:36,840
It, it is for sure.

1361
00:55:36,930 --> 00:55:40,230
So I, um, um, so you can be someone
out there saying, it's fine with me.

1362
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,590
'cause also they have to remember, it
doesn't, unless you're doing injectables,

1363
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,210
it doesn't give you an erection.

1364
00:55:45,210 --> 00:55:48,450
It just makes it more able,
when you feel safe enough to

1365
00:55:48,450 --> 00:55:49,620
expose yourself in that way.

1366
00:55:50,100 --> 00:55:50,190
Yes.

1367
00:55:50,190 --> 00:55:54,180
So if you are trying to shove, if your
dick is not hard in public, you are not

1368
00:55:54,180 --> 00:55:55,680
really, my first husband was like that.

1369
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:59,070
He actually, it broke his heart when
he realized he was not exhibitionistic.

1370
00:55:59,070 --> 00:56:02,370
He was actually super introverted
and he could not, he did not perform

1371
00:56:02,370 --> 00:56:04,680
well at swing parties and he could
not make porno movies with me.

1372
00:56:05,100 --> 00:56:06,480
And he had hoped maybe he could.

1373
00:56:06,930 --> 00:56:11,270
Um, and so that was a real
heartbreak, ego break for him.

1374
00:56:11,300 --> 00:56:15,050
Um, yeah, because he had, he had a really
nice dick and he had some good mood, you

1375
00:56:15,050 --> 00:56:16,190
know, I mean, and did the whole thing.

1376
00:56:16,190 --> 00:56:20,110
So I, I felt bad for him, but he
never, if he had asked at me, asked

1377
00:56:20,110 --> 00:56:23,590
me outright to quit porn, I would've
kicked him to the curb and he just,

1378
00:56:24,220 --> 00:56:25,600
and that's neither here nor there.

1379
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:31,000
So if you're not, if you're not action
exhibitionist, the drugs barely help.

1380
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:32,100
Emotionally.

1381
00:56:32,700 --> 00:56:33,330
Oh, I've told that before.

1382
00:56:33,330 --> 00:56:33,390
Yeah.

1383
00:56:33,390 --> 00:56:34,155
No, because they don't wondering

1384
00:56:34,155 --> 00:56:34,315
about,

1385
00:56:34,775 --> 00:56:39,060
unless you use an injection caverject,
which is going to absolutely get you

1386
00:56:39,060 --> 00:56:42,630
hard, even if you're in the middle
of grief because it is a chemical

1387
00:56:43,020 --> 00:56:50,070
direct injection into, into the, um,
corpus cavernosum, um, your emotion

1388
00:56:50,070 --> 00:56:52,350
should be in part of your erection.

1389
00:56:52,620 --> 00:56:57,750
And so men who really can't perform
well, either in public, in a pressure

1390
00:56:57,750 --> 00:57:03,440
situation or with condoms, probably should
not go to swing parties or just go to

1391
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:04,940
swing parties and eat a lot of pussy.

1392
00:57:05,510 --> 00:57:05,780
Yeah.

1393
00:57:06,170 --> 00:57:07,970
Well, there's some that you, you can see.

1394
00:57:08,090 --> 00:57:08,210
Yeah,

1395
00:57:08,210 --> 00:57:09,980
I have, and well, I've noticed that.

1396
00:57:09,980 --> 00:57:14,940
And then I did recently, um,
was with somebody and he did two

1397
00:57:14,940 --> 00:57:16,045
things that I absolutely love.

1398
00:57:16,545 --> 00:57:18,855
He couldn't get hard with me.

1399
00:57:18,975 --> 00:57:22,665
And he said to his wife, Hey,
honey, can, can you help?

1400
00:57:23,115 --> 00:57:25,515
Because that's what I do in
the very, very beginning.

1401
00:57:25,515 --> 00:57:27,105
I would always be like, I, I'll help you.

1402
00:57:27,465 --> 00:57:33,095
And so he did that and I was like,
that right there was was you like, you

1403
00:57:33,095 --> 00:57:35,915
know, you're, you don't have to let,
you don't have to try and you don't,

1404
00:57:36,875 --> 00:57:40,775
aren't, you know, asking me to take
care of you because obviously I can't.

1405
00:57:41,345 --> 00:57:44,105
Um, that was one thing he did.

1406
00:57:44,105 --> 00:57:46,085
And then I can't remember
the second thing.

1407
00:57:46,585 --> 00:57:46,885
Um.

1408
00:57:47,385 --> 00:57:47,865
I don't know.

1409
00:57:47,865 --> 00:57:51,015
I mean, I, I know that was the primary
thing you were very excited about

1410
00:57:51,015 --> 00:57:52,575
because that doesn't happen very often.

1411
00:57:52,575 --> 00:57:52,635
Yeah.

1412
00:57:52,995 --> 00:57:56,865
You know, a lot of times these guys, they
wanna pretend like it's not happening

1413
00:57:57,255 --> 00:57:59,685
or it's gonna go away in just a second.

1414
00:57:59,715 --> 00:58:01,575
You know, let's just keep trying this.

1415
00:58:01,875 --> 00:58:05,265
And it's obviously a
major turnoff for her.

1416
00:58:05,775 --> 00:58:09,315
And, you know, it, it hasn't
happened very often, but when it's

1417
00:58:09,315 --> 00:58:13,545
happened to me, I go straight to
her and she's my security anyway.

1418
00:58:13,545 --> 00:58:17,295
So it's like I know that
she can pull me out of that.

1419
00:58:17,925 --> 00:58:23,055
Uh, but I, I know a, a a lot of guys
that they're just gonna continue on.

1420
00:58:23,145 --> 00:58:23,265
Yeah.

1421
00:58:23,765 --> 00:58:24,055
Yeah.

1422
00:58:24,235 --> 00:58:26,720
And, but pretend it's not
happy, you can't talk about it.

1423
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:32,030
So the, there's still a lot
of emotional constipation in

1424
00:58:32,030 --> 00:58:33,860
the swing community as well.

1425
00:58:33,950 --> 00:58:37,910
Um, because we don't have good
role models for healthy, masculine,

1426
00:58:38,060 --> 00:58:40,370
um, um, alternative ways of being.

1427
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:41,390
Um,

1428
00:58:41,660 --> 00:58:41,960
yeah.

1429
00:58:42,140 --> 00:58:44,150
Uh, so.

1430
00:58:44,735 --> 00:58:47,105
And also when dealing with
our age category, right?

1431
00:58:47,105 --> 00:58:47,765
It's just there.

1432
00:58:47,795 --> 00:58:50,705
So people your age are on the
cusp of the old way of being

1433
00:58:50,705 --> 00:58:52,235
raised and then the new culture.

1434
00:58:52,235 --> 00:58:56,945
So it, it's, it's, you know, the,
the, the anti-sex things got into

1435
00:58:56,945 --> 00:59:02,095
you early because you're old enough
that still have been the way that the

1436
00:59:02,095 --> 00:59:03,985
raised kids, you know, in the eighties.

1437
00:59:04,075 --> 00:59:04,405
Right?

1438
00:59:04,410 --> 00:59:04,420
Right.

1439
00:59:04,735 --> 00:59:06,595
Um, I mean, I'm just,
I'm barely old enough.

1440
00:59:06,895 --> 00:59:09,505
If I'd had a baby from my
first intercourse, they'd

1441
00:59:09,505 --> 00:59:10,765
be turning 48 this year.

1442
00:59:11,155 --> 00:59:13,195
So I'm, I'm old enough to be both
of your parents, but I'm no one's

1443
00:59:13,195 --> 00:59:14,335
parents, so it's not creepy.

1444
00:59:14,665 --> 00:59:14,995
Um,

1445
00:59:15,495 --> 00:59:15,990
are you my mom?

1446
00:59:16,490 --> 00:59:21,470
I, I've, I've fantasized, uh, enough
about you to where it is very not creepy.

1447
00:59:21,470 --> 00:59:21,680
Like

1448
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:22,910
do you get that a lot?

1449
00:59:22,910 --> 00:59:23,705
I mean, because I'm excited.

1450
00:59:23,785 --> 00:59:25,130
I, I, I, I, I do.

1451
00:59:25,130 --> 00:59:28,190
I mean, obviously there are a lot of guys
who are now in their twenties who, who you

1452
00:59:28,190 --> 00:59:30,110
know, oh, I really, really wanna fuck you.

1453
00:59:30,115 --> 00:59:31,130
I I don't say this to him.

1454
00:59:31,130 --> 00:59:35,690
It's like, sweetheart, you, you couldn't,
you couldn't, you would die with a hand.

1455
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:36,620
You, no, you can't.

1456
00:59:36,890 --> 00:59:39,110
Did they get, but what,
what else do they know?

1457
00:59:39,230 --> 00:59:39,560
Right?

1458
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:43,730
They, they, they see porn and they think,
yeah, being a man is all about this.

1459
00:59:43,735 --> 00:59:44,025
Yeah.

1460
00:59:44,060 --> 00:59:45,860
And that all women want this.

1461
00:59:45,860 --> 00:59:48,380
And then all the cougars,
they want this because cougars

1462
00:59:48,380 --> 00:59:50,420
seeking cubs and all the things.

1463
00:59:50,420 --> 00:59:57,950
So if your only experience of age gap
sex is porn, it's super skewed, a little

1464
00:59:57,950 --> 01:00:00,720
bit shallow and sort of narrow, right?

1465
01:00:00,725 --> 01:00:02,315
I can make porn's not about feelings.

1466
01:00:02,645 --> 01:00:05,495
Porn's not about feelings,
which of course, women in

1467
01:00:05,495 --> 01:00:06,995
the real world do care about.

1468
01:00:07,295 --> 01:00:09,815
So I tell people I'm never with
somebody because young or because

1469
01:00:09,815 --> 01:00:12,680
old, or because black or because
white, if I like you enough.

1470
01:00:13,430 --> 01:00:14,365
To be in your bed.

1471
01:00:14,365 --> 01:00:14,450
Your bed.

1472
01:00:14,870 --> 01:00:16,850
I'm going to like, whatever
you have between your legs,

1473
01:00:17,210 --> 01:00:18,500
we're gonna have a great time.

1474
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,050
I do everything I can with anyone.

1475
01:00:21,050 --> 01:00:24,830
I'm with what that actually is, depends.

1476
01:00:25,700 --> 01:00:28,400
But I'm never gonna turn
you down because you're 20.

1477
01:00:29,180 --> 01:00:30,860
I'll turn you down
because you're an asshole.

1478
01:00:31,580 --> 01:00:33,500
And you know, do, do, do like black men.

1479
01:00:33,620 --> 01:00:34,370
I like men.

1480
01:00:34,430 --> 01:00:39,680
If I like you, your Melan nation
and your age over 18 doesn't hurt.

1481
01:00:39,980 --> 01:00:41,990
And if I don't like you, it doesn't help.

1482
01:00:42,490 --> 01:00:43,000
Gotcha.

1483
01:00:43,005 --> 01:00:44,260
I, I don't, I don't fetishize race.

1484
01:00:44,260 --> 01:00:45,700
So if you're an asshole,
you're an asshole.

1485
01:00:45,700 --> 01:00:48,160
I don't care that you're age a
beautiful version of whatever

1486
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:49,420
it is you are, you're a jerk.

1487
01:00:49,450 --> 01:00:50,560
I don't want anything to do with you.

1488
01:00:50,950 --> 01:00:51,605
So, yeah,

1489
01:00:51,605 --> 01:00:52,270
yeah, yeah.

1490
01:00:52,420 --> 01:00:56,050
They, we don't tell boys this, that,
you know, actually, you know, and I

1491
01:00:56,050 --> 01:00:59,200
tell men all the time, it's really
important, you know, it's a woman

1492
01:00:59,260 --> 01:01:01,090
needs to feel safe next to you.

1493
01:01:01,590 --> 01:01:04,410
She feel she needs to feel,
she needs to be next to a calm

1494
01:01:04,410 --> 01:01:06,060
person who is a safe space.

1495
01:01:06,060 --> 01:01:08,100
Because if she's not feeling
safe, she cannot feel sexy.

1496
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:10,860
'cause in our culture, sex is
much more dangerous for women.

1497
01:01:10,860 --> 01:01:14,910
So if she feels any kinda weird
energy coming off of you, anxiety,

1498
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:20,775
tension, expectation, you know,
barely controlled rage or narcissism,

1499
01:01:21,065 --> 01:01:24,170
we're not going to relax enough with
you to wanna be sexual with you.

1500
01:01:24,650 --> 01:01:24,980
Yeah.

1501
01:01:25,275 --> 01:01:25,575
You know?

1502
01:01:25,595 --> 01:01:26,570
But you know, it does.

1503
01:01:27,350 --> 01:01:30,890
I feel like we also have to educate
our women in that because a lot of

1504
01:01:30,890 --> 01:01:36,410
women are still, and they stay in
relationships that are that hard,

1505
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:40,850
that don't have men like what I have
that are like, you're, you know, women

1506
01:01:40,850 --> 01:01:42,800
empowerment, like you do your thing.

1507
01:01:43,700 --> 01:01:46,190
But Tara, you know, so they say it
takes an average of seven attempts of

1508
01:01:46,190 --> 01:01:47,930
before a person to leave their abuser.

1509
01:01:47,930 --> 01:01:50,690
And so my abuse was so subtle
and emotional, it took me

1510
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,370
18 years to leave, right?

1511
01:01:52,490 --> 01:01:52,580
Mm-hmm.

1512
01:01:52,820 --> 01:01:55,490
Because they were smart enough to
never actually lay a hand on me.

1513
01:01:55,490 --> 01:01:56,690
That would've been instant.

1514
01:01:57,110 --> 01:01:58,265
Deal breaker, but yes,

1515
01:01:58,265 --> 01:01:58,425
yes.

1516
01:01:58,430 --> 01:01:59,780
They weren't, they weren't stupid.

1517
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,050
They were other kinds of
things, but they weren't stupid.

1518
01:02:03,350 --> 01:02:06,785
And so they knew Yeah, they had
one of each, so they, they knew.

1519
01:02:06,790 --> 01:02:10,820
They knew that, that if I never
said, handed me, it's over.

1520
01:02:10,820 --> 01:02:11,450
They just knew.

1521
01:02:11,510 --> 01:02:16,550
And I knew because I be, but back in the,
back in the eighties, abuse was only ever

1522
01:02:16,550 --> 01:02:18,410
spoken of at that point as physical abuse.

1523
01:02:18,470 --> 01:02:21,440
The whole narcissistic abuse
had, it's only been talked

1524
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:22,370
about what, for five years.

1525
01:02:22,370 --> 01:02:25,400
I mean, it's brand new in terms
of a thing that we now talk about.

1526
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:31,280
They recognize that narcissistic abuse
is as, you know, often part and parcel

1527
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:35,210
with physical abuse, but certainly
its own, its own level of, of bad.

1528
01:02:35,990 --> 01:02:36,260
Right?

1529
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:36,590
Oh

1530
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:37,250
yeah,

1531
01:02:37,750 --> 01:02:38,080
yeah.

1532
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:38,500
You know,

1533
01:02:38,740 --> 01:02:40,000
we'll have to do this again.

1534
01:02:40,090 --> 01:02:41,050
We'll have to have another

1535
01:02:41,650 --> 01:02:44,500
go, you know, and we're actually
gonna go ahead and wrap up.

1536
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:48,940
Uh, but Nina, before we let you go,
uh, if you could tell our audience

1537
01:02:48,940 --> 01:02:51,965
where they can find you, what you got
going on, how to support your work.

1538
01:02:52,300 --> 01:02:54,010
The floor is yours.

1539
01:02:54,610 --> 01:02:55,660
Well, thank you so much.

1540
01:02:55,690 --> 01:02:57,070
Uh, first great conversation.

1541
01:02:57,070 --> 01:02:57,940
We need more of it.

1542
01:02:58,330 --> 01:03:02,680
Um, the main places to find
me online are Nina live, LIVE.

1543
01:03:02,890 --> 01:03:06,310
That is my Safe for Work, um, platform.

1544
01:03:06,310 --> 01:03:10,210
It's got my blog there and you people
who wanna just come and talk to me

1545
01:03:10,210 --> 01:03:15,340

calls, uh, safe for work, zoom calls,

1546
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,800
uh, and consult with me on anything.

1547
01:03:17,860 --> 01:03:25,120
So at Nina live and nina.com is where
my video store is and where I do, uh,

1548
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:27,220
there 20 hours a week and hang out.

1549
01:03:27,310 --> 01:03:32,920
Um, and that's where we can do
naked things and um, you know, naked

1550
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:34,420
cam to cam and that kind of stuff.

1551
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,190
So nina.com is, I'll

1552
01:03:36,190 --> 01:03:37,090
be seeing you there,

1553
01:03:37,150 --> 01:03:42,220
that nina.com is not safe for work
and Nina live is safe for work and

1554
01:03:42,220 --> 01:03:45,940
both of those places are where you
can contact, uh, talk to me live.

1555
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:47,520
my Instagram is.

1556
01:03:48,510 --> 01:03:51,540
Miss Nina Hartley.

1557
01:03:51,540 --> 01:03:53,370
There are many fake Insta out there.

1558
01:03:53,460 --> 01:03:58,410
And my Twitter handle at
Nina land, N-I-N-A-L-A-N-D.

1559
01:03:58,860 --> 01:04:01,560
And there are plenty of
fake Ninas out there.

1560
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:02,760
I'm not on TikTok.

1561
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:06,060
So if you see anybody on TikTok claiming
to be me, you can report their asses.

1562
01:04:06,090 --> 01:04:08,310
'cause I am not on, they, they
still, I can see it, they steal my

1563
01:04:08,310 --> 01:04:11,940
videos and then say things really
send me money and I'll call you.

1564
01:04:11,940 --> 01:04:13,620
It's just, it's just such a scam.

1565
01:04:13,620 --> 01:04:17,160
And, and I, oh God, I, I had to have a
full-time person just going and putting

1566
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:18,510
out those brush fires, which I don't.

1567
01:04:18,930 --> 01:04:26,220
Um, so, um, I'm on Instagram, I'm on
x I'm not on, I'm not on, um, TikTok.

1568
01:04:26,220 --> 01:04:27,960
I do have a Facebook, but I don't,

1569
01:04:28,020 --> 01:04:29,505
I saw your Facebook pop up on,

1570
01:04:29,550 --> 01:04:32,130
but there are, there are lots of
fake, there are lots of fake Facebooks

1571
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,220
there as well, so I'm not quite
sure what my Facebook handle is.

1572
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:36,350
It's okay.

1573
01:04:36,860 --> 01:04:37,640
We'll find it for you.

1574
01:04:38,570 --> 01:04:40,460
But when it comes to social
media, I'm very much a boomer.

1575
01:04:40,591 --> 01:04:42,121
I'm just, I've just come back.

1576
01:04:42,121 --> 01:04:43,591
I've started making movies again.

1577
01:04:43,621 --> 01:04:47,791
Um, I am doing everything but,
uh, what we call PIV intercourse.

1578
01:04:48,241 --> 01:04:54,061
So, um, kink, femdom, girl, girl
help, help two other people have sex.

1579
01:04:54,121 --> 01:04:58,621
Um, help you fuck him, help him
fuck her, uh, that kind of thing.

1580
01:04:58,621 --> 01:05:03,751
So, I love, I love being on camera,
but, but my, but my, again, I gave

1581
01:05:03,751 --> 01:05:07,771
it the, my vagina has given at the
office and I am post-menopausal, and

1582
01:05:07,771 --> 01:05:12,886
the, the level of penis that I can
take and enjoy is not camera worthy.

1583
01:05:13,386 --> 01:05:14,951
I, I like a, a nice five inch here.

1584
01:05:15,581 --> 01:05:16,631
So nice four inches.

1585
01:05:16,721 --> 01:05:18,401
Nice humanized thing.

1586
01:05:18,401 --> 01:05:18,491
Good

1587
01:05:18,491 --> 01:05:19,691
enough for satisfaction.

1588
01:05:19,691 --> 01:05:23,111
You know that, that answers the age
old question that guys seem to wanna

1589
01:05:23,111 --> 01:05:24,941
know is, you know, does size matter?

1590
01:05:25,031 --> 01:05:25,241
Got it.

1591
01:05:25,361 --> 01:05:26,571
For some women it does.

1592
01:05:26,571 --> 01:05:27,401
For some women it does.

1593
01:05:27,401 --> 01:05:31,841
So I'm gonna, so I'm gonna say 15% of
women are two size queens, seven plus,

1594
01:05:31,841 --> 01:05:33,131
or don't even fucking talk to them.

1595
01:05:33,341 --> 01:05:34,511
They're built very roomy.

1596
01:05:34,661 --> 01:05:35,501
That's what they like.

1597
01:05:35,801 --> 01:05:38,981
They're like a certain level of
discomfort, intensity that works for them.

1598
01:05:39,481 --> 01:05:43,321
15% of women can take more than
six, but don't need more than six.

1599
01:05:43,321 --> 01:05:46,411
But, you know, in the right
situation, they could, that leaves

1600
01:05:46,911 --> 01:05:51,471
15, 15, 30, at least 70% of women
out there happy with sticks and

1601
01:05:51,471 --> 01:05:53,441
under happy with sticks and under.

1602
01:05:53,441 --> 01:05:54,701
Yeah, like, nice.

1603
01:05:54,881 --> 01:05:56,051
So the, the perfect size.

1604
01:05:56,951 --> 01:05:59,621
Yeah, I'm, I'm definitely, I'm definitely
the, I'm definitely the under six.

1605
01:06:00,401 --> 01:06:01,991
I'm definitely the under six crowd because

1606
01:06:02,321 --> 01:06:02,591
yeah,

1607
01:06:02,591 --> 01:06:06,791
I want to, I want at some point in the
process to be able, for you to be able to

1608
01:06:06,791 --> 01:06:09,791
go hog fucking wild, crazy monkey shit.

1609
01:06:09,821 --> 01:06:10,751
Like, fuck me.

1610
01:06:10,991 --> 01:06:13,841
Sometimes I wanna be nailed into
the bed for 20 seconds at a time.

1611
01:06:14,141 --> 01:06:16,871
But to do that, to really
feel all of, I like seeing all

1612
01:06:16,871 --> 01:06:18,131
that masculine energy come in.

1613
01:06:18,131 --> 01:06:21,521
For me, a penis is just a delivery
system for, for masculine energy.

1614
01:06:21,851 --> 01:06:26,501
And so I, I like a good deep injection,
but for that, so what, what is good

1615
01:06:26,501 --> 01:06:30,551
and deep for me is a different size
than what is good and deep for her.

1616
01:06:31,301 --> 01:06:35,141
And so I want a size penis that he
can, if he wants to just go full

1617
01:06:35,141 --> 01:06:37,241
till boogie and not have it go out.

1618
01:06:37,741 --> 01:06:38,071
Right.

1619
01:06:38,071 --> 01:06:42,271
And for that cheese o cheese yaa
and, and we're done tapping out.

1620
01:06:42,511 --> 01:06:47,011
So, um, for me that, so for that kind
of sec it's five inches for sure.

1621
01:06:47,401 --> 01:06:50,041
Okay, well, sorry you got distracted.

1622
01:06:50,281 --> 01:06:50,351
Hi, Dina.

1623
01:06:50,351 --> 01:06:55,471
Dina, thank you for nina.com for
Not Safe for work, Nuna live safe

talking with anybody about anything.

1625
01:06:59,191 --> 01:07:02,671
Hell yes, go and find her, follow her
and support everything that she's doing

1626
01:07:02,671 --> 01:07:07,261
because people like Nina are the reason
that these conversations even exist.

1627
01:07:07,381 --> 01:07:08,011
Seriously, we're

1628
01:07:08,011 --> 01:07:09,871
so grateful to have you on here, Nina.

1629
01:07:09,871 --> 01:07:10,201
Thank you.

01:07:10,201 --> 01:07:10,656
Well, we'll see.

1631
01:07:10,656 --> 01:07:12,751
We'll love to do it again
sometime and we'll talk about

1632
01:07:12,751 --> 01:07:14,161
how does gang bang planning.

1633
01:07:14,341 --> 01:07:16,711
So just to think about, I'm gonna
get a gang bang for my 50th.

1634
01:07:16,796 --> 01:07:16,886
Yes,

1635
01:07:17,386 --> 01:07:17,666
absolutely.

1636
01:07:17,871 --> 01:07:21,111
And, and that, and that, and that takes
the pressure off of, you know, the, okay.

1637
01:07:21,111 --> 01:07:21,121
Okay.

1638
01:07:21,411 --> 01:07:23,301
Because you can plan it, you
can, you can totally plan it.

1639
01:07:23,301 --> 01:07:23,481
