BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts.
Oh wait, are we recording?
If those sounds offended your ears as much as ours,
then please heed this next warning.
This podcast will feature strong language.
It will also feature lots of adult content.
And kissing. Lots of kissing.
Well, like talking about kissing.
Yeah, because it would be like so crazy if we kissed.
So crazy. I mean, we could.
Only it's a joke.
I think you're probably a terrible kisser, to be honest.
I'm really, you know what?
It's one thing you saying I was lazy in bed
and I'm like, I actually was, and you're probably right.
Season one to three, I was lazy.
Now I have to put my back in it.
It's quite another thing, Robina,
Sudra, and Prabani saying I'm not a good kisser
because I am a good kisser.
I'm trying to think if I still kiss anyone.
I think you're a good kisser,
but I think, contrary to what you think about my kissing skills,
I actually think that you're probably going to be good in bed
and that you're a good kisser.
I think I'm an all right kisser.
I really like kissing.
That's really fun, isn't it?
I love kissing.
It's so nice.
I love kissing.
And they say that like if you like,
that like you stay on each other's lips for more than like six seconds,
it like releases all this pheromone stuff that's really like amazing.
Like when you hug somebody,
you know like there's a hug and then there's a hug, you know like a deep hug. And then it just like releases all this greatheromone stuff that's really amazing. When you hug somebody, there's a hug and then there's a hug.
You know, like a deep hug.
And then it just releases all this great stuff in your body.
It's physiologically wonderful to be kissed in a really beautiful, passionate way.
This is a podcast about kissing.
No, I'm joking.
This is a podcast about sex.
At least it started off like that.
Now we talk about everything.
Everything is sex.
And sex is everything.
And that includes our mistakes, our heartbreaks.
And our hot, hot, hot kissing takes.
I'm Robina and my favourite place to be kissed is right behind my left ear.
Left, not right.
Left.
Very particular.
I'm Poppy and my favourite place to be kissed is in my arse.
Tongues.
Only tongues in the arse.
You wouldn't actually want someone to just give you a peck on the arse.
It'd have to be like a full on snog.
A Frenchie.
A Frenchie with my anal.
Arse and then neck.
Obviously arse.
Obviously lips.
Forget lips.
Take lips off the table lips take lips off the table
take lips off the table
arse
neck
but like for sexy times
those are all the places
also underarm
underarm
hot
it's so hot
I also quite like forehead
when I'm feeling like
I need some support
the forehead is very much
like parent territory
I don't want a guy
I like
unless I'm 10 years in
like it works for me yeah yeah yeah that's what I think a peck here I like kissing on the forehead unless I'm 10 years in like it works for me
yeah yeah yeah
that's what I think
that's what I think
a peck here
is like cool
we're family
cheeks
cheeks are actually quite nice
or like you know
just next to your lips
you know what Asians do
we do a nose kiss
oh yeah
do you do a nose kiss
like a little
Inuit kiss
Inuit
Inuit
I can't say it
Inuit
Inuit
Inuit
yeah
apparently they have
butterfly kisses apparently they have... Butterfly kisses.
Apparently they have 137 different ways to kiss with the nose.
Wow.
I just made that up.
I'm just going to Google it right now.
137's quite good.
Different ways to kiss.
The gesture is known as kunik and consists of pressing or rubbing the tip on one's nose.
There's so many different types.
Yeah, there's lots of different types.
Nose kissing's sweet though, isn't it?
Nose kissing is... I would do nose kissing with a partner.
I've done it with my son.
I wouldn't do nose kissing.
Yeah, I would do nose kissing with the family.
Family.
There's some kisses, types of kisses,
that crosses over to family.
And sexy.
And sexy.
Yeah.
I wouldn't do...
If a guy just dated,
just pegged me on the forehead and be like,
you're a fucking psycho, get the fuck out.
You want to marry me, you need to leave.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm freaked out. What about kissing on the hand? That be like, you're a fucking psycho. Get the fuck out. You want to marry me. You need to leave. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm freaked out.
What about kissing on the hand?
That's quite European, isn't it?
So my friend came around yesterday
and like in terms of intimacy,
like I'll kiss her on her hand.
Like that very much is in,
that sits more in friendship territory,
but also could sit in partner territory.
Again, partner, not boyfriend, man, I'm banging.
Slash guy I've met.
Yeah, slash guy I met.
What if he's like, madame, and kisses your hand?
You'd be like, what?
I'd be like...
Well, he might be French.
Yeah, fine.
We have a guest today who can now claim to be a bona fide kissing expert.
She's Sikh, Punjabi, Welsh, lesbian, icon,
who's currently stealing the show in BBC Three's I Kissed a Girl.
Priya, Sohan, Pearl, welcome to Brown Girls Do It Too.
Thank you so much for having me.
I'm so excited.
You guys are legends, literally.
You're amazing in that show.
You really are.
And you're like, fly the flag.
Yeah.
Queer brown girl.
Fly the South Asian flag.
Fly that flag, baby girl.
Yeah.
We're going to do a quick fire kissing game with you.
Oh, okay.
Go for it.
So we're just going to launch straight in.
I'm excited.
How important is the first kiss?
Ooh, very important.
I've always said from day dot,
the first kiss literally tells you all you need to know
about the person you're getting with.
Like kissing to their soul.
Yeah, because you can feel the chemistry between that person when you kiss them.
And I've had some bad kisses in my time.
Yeah.
And it's never worked out.
But those good kisses, there's a feeling.
Okay, I always say there's this feeling.
It's like a shooting feeling down your spine or like your stomach drops.
Oh, yeah.
That's when you know.
I'm getting fucking bad kisses
because that's not happening to me right now.
Oh, okay.
So you need to really,
you need to get your good kiss.
I need the spine tingle.
The stomach drop is such a good phrase
for like that first bit of chemistry
when you're with someone.
Because you do feel like something's dropped.
Honestly, literally,
or it goes down my spine.
Even when I think about the kiss,
it goes down my spine
and I'm just like,
that's how I know.
I have a million follow-up questions to this,
but I'll do this game really, really quickly.
So tongues or no tongues?
Tongues.
Long lingering kisses or fast and passionate?
Long lingering kisses.
Other than your lips,
where's your favourite place to be kissed?
I don't want to say that because it's not PG.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This entire podcast is not PG.
I like to be kissed in my arse, so. That's how she stops. This podcast is not PG, babe, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This entire podcast is not PG. I like to be kissed in my arse, so.
That's how she stops.
I don't know.
This podcast is not PG, babe.
Come on.
Okay, fab.
Okay, so pussy, arse, everything.
Okay, there you go.
Everywhere.
Everywhere.
Okay, yeah.
Absolutely everywhere.
Order of, is there like an order of priority?
Okay, so obviously lips first.
Neck.
Yeah.
You know, the vagine. The vagine, arse and tits.
Tits!
Tits!
Neither of us said tits!
I know, that's true.
Tits are such a great place to be kidding.
It is.
I got some people in there.
Nipples.
Oh, shit.
How did we fucking forget nipples?
I don't know.
People often neglect the nipples, actually.
They do neglect the nipples.
They're so erogenous.
I'm like, oh my God, I'm just turning neglect the nipples. They're so erogenous. Yeah, like, you're just like,
oh my God, I'm just turning myself on.
I've just been about it.
When I was in my hetero era,
there was this guy who literally asked me
to suck on his nipples.
And I was like, at the time,
I wasn't in my, like, gay era,
but I was like, girl, what?
Hang on, talking about eras,
we're literally talking about eras with our producers.
When was your hetero era?
It was from birth until...
Until I was about 19. when was your hetero era? it was from birth until until
I was
about 19
yeah I literally
got with a Punjabi girl
like
in uni
and
then it was
game over
oh my god that's so great
you got with a Punjabi girl
yeah
that was my first girlfriend
brown on brown
that's so nice
yeah
I know
I like
even though
we've both been
you're with a white guy
and I have been a white
guy there's respect for you on this side of going to the brown guy but that must have just made it
easier as my point no but you know what's crazy like we were in university and we were put like
we were put together in the same flat two gay Punjabi girls and like she had a girlfriend at
the time but I kind of took her. And I know,
I know.
And like,
during that relationship,
we were together for like over a year
and her,
she wasn't out to her mum yet.
Okay.
And I was staying.
Are you out to your family?
Oh yeah.
Yeah,
they're fine.
But her mum wasn't.
So I was staying over her house
with her,
I don't want to say homophobic,
but you know,
her.
Yeah,
Asians,
some Asians can be homophobic,
let's just call it a spade a spade.
She was Hindu,
like Punjabi Hindu,
and I remember like,
Are you Punjabi Sikh?
Are you Punjabi Sikh?
I'm Punjabi Sikh, yeah,
and when she came out to her mum,
like she literally told her,
because her mum had an inkling,
she was like,
oh yeah,
do you and Priya have a thing?
And then she finally told her,
and then she was like,
get out my house.
She literally,
and she got on her hands and knees
saying,
please leave my daughter alone, and I literally said, to you? Yeah, to, and she got on her hands and knees saying, please leave my daughter alone.
And I literally said.
To you?
Yeah, to me.
She got on her hands and knees to you?
Yes, to me.
She got on her hands and knees to me in front of me saying,
please leave my daughter alone.
And I said, no, I love your daughter.
And then she kicked me out the house,
called me a fucking bitch.
And that was like.
I'm sorry.
Is this one of the soap operas that my mum's been watching?
I know.
And then we literally had to sneak around.
This is like a star plus.
So you had to sneak around. We had to sneak around. It's not easy. I know, I know. We literally had to sneak around. This is like a star plus. So you had to sneak around.
We had to sneak around.
It's not easy.
I'm not saying it's easier to be gay,
sorry, easier to be lesbian if you're white,
but like in our communities,
we still have these fucking massive hangups.
I know.
And like it's hard to talk about it
because you don't have like a large community
where you can share stories
and you don't have like a safe space
in which you can talk.
Yeah. I just think about all
the young queer British Asian girls who are watching you and being like maybe I can like
come out to my parents or maybe I can like take a leap you know like I have had messages saying
like oh thank you for kind of like flying the flag and but at the same time they are still there
are people who are still in the closet that are scared.
And it's really horrible.
Because I'm so lucky to have had such a supportive family who've taken me in.
Even my extended family.
Even your extended family?
That's amazing.
My entire extended family.
All the daijis, daijis, chachis, chachas.
Everyone knows.
That's amazing.
I know.
And they're like, oh, congratulations. I'm so happy for knows. Oh, God, that's so good. I know, and they're like, oh, like, congratulations.
You're like, you're out.
I know, but not everyone has that.
And it breaks my heart that people can't have that safe space
and they have no one to talk to.
And you know what?
Any girlies who are out there who do want to talk to me, go for it.
Oh, that's so nice.
You must be such an inspiration to so many young queer women
by going on a tv show
like that and just saying look it's not easy and you cannot i mean i know it's been easier for you
because of your circumstances but just showing women that it can be done and it's possible and
change takes so much time were you were you nervous before you went on i kissed a girl
100 i didn't tell my family um not my extended family uh my mum and my dad knew that
i was going on the show um but no one else did and i had to tell them once i came back from italy i
was like okay by the way you might see btw you might see me kissing women on television i love
how asians drop news btw i'm gay yeah btw we've got a sex podcast so last minute because I did tell my mum first
that I was gay and then I told my dad because he's like my dad is very old he's 73 he's 73 years old
born and raised in Uganda and I told him I was like oh by the way dad um you know that girl
that's been coming over over the house he was like yeah he was like
your friend i was like she's my girlfriend and i'm gay and he was just like okay good night
like i feel like that's the best response literally coming out exactly that's exactly
what it should be right because it's like it's like it's really it should never be
called coming out anymore
it's just like
I'm just letting you know
that that person is with me
whoever that is
done
that's the best response
you could ever ask for
that is an amazing response
I know
and like genuinely
the fact that my dad
didn't make a big deal out of it
he just accepted it
and then
he's 73 as well
I know
he's progressive
for a 1950s
baby hell to the, he is such...
Big up for my dad.
Big up to your dad.
Good watching, Singh.
Well done.
Now, here I am, lips in women on telly.
Okay, so coming neatly onto that,
for those people who don't know the show,
can you explain the premise of the show?
Okay, so the premise of the show is basically
you explain your type
to production and then you walk up like so you go to Italy you're paired up with
someone who you've never seen. You never saw that person? Never. I didn't know what
they looked like I didn't know what their personality was like didn't even
know their name and they pair you up with someone and they're like okay go
kiss them now so you walk to each other.
If I think you do, you kiss each other.
You kiss each other.
First thing, when I saw Ney,
I was thinking, okay, that's my type.
But I was literally shaking,
knowing full well that there were going to be cameras
right in front of us during our first kiss.
And I was like, okay, at least she's my type. I don't have to do this awkward kiss. But during our first kiss and I was like okay at least she's
my type I don't have to do this awkward but at the same time I was thinking does she is she
attracted to me yeah like is am I her type yeah so what did you tell the production team prior
to meeting her what did you say was like the thing that you're into i told them i love a woman of color um whether that's
like south asian um you know i or black women i love masculine presenting women yeah but they
need to have like a feminine side yeah that is an important thing i love a woman with who can
be masculine presenting but have a feminine side at the same time.
And they did have that.
But like, you know,
you need to kind of pry it out of her,
that kind of softer feminine side,
which is fine.
Everyone takes their own time with that.
But yeah, when I saw her,
I was like, yep.
Okay.
Well done.
I mean, you were the first person on.
Yeah.
You were the first.
I was like, yeah, she's the first person they you were the first so I was like yeah she's the first
person they introduced
I was like
you always go in
with your most
strongest character
unicorn
but your kiss
everyone's
everyone's kisses
oh my god
oh yeah
looked
like women
like queer women
kissing
oh my days
we just know
how to do it
you just know
how to do it
yeah
there's like
lots of labels
and I didn't know
what STEM was
and we found out
what Black Cat Energy
they have it in
in the gay world as well
in the lesbian world
Black Cat and Golden Retriever Energy
we learnt that the other day
yeah yeah
oh yeah 100%
the STEM
and all this
there was a large conversation
around the term STEM
actually
could you explain
for our audience
what STEM is?
So a STEM is...
Not STEM subjects.
Science and engineering math.
Science and engineering math.
STEM is a mixture between stud and feminine.
That label normally belongs to, you know, either women of colour.
So it's a mixture between stud and femme.
So stud belongs to women of colour, particularly black women.
Okay.
Who are masculine presenting. Yes, masculine presenting.
And there was a
bit of a buzz on Twitter
saying like, these white women
are sick for calling themselves
stems. And I
do agree that, you know,
you normally call yourself...
If you're white though and you used
to be butch, then if you were masculine presenting or if you're a though and you used to be butch then if you were masculine presenting
I'd just say
people were saying fudge
like femme butch but I've never
heard of that
but like I do agree that you know
the term like stud stem
belongs to women of colour
and I'll leave it there
but obviously some of the girls weren't aware of that.
And that conversation needs to be touched on.
What do you think of like,
because for me, if you're a gay woman,
you're a gay woman and that's kind of it.
I didn't realise there was all these factions inside of it.
There are so many labels.
Yeah.
And why is that important?
Because I don't think everyone understands
why the kind of identifying under the banner of gay women
actually has like this
crazy diversity
that you're throwing around.
I think it's a generational thing.
Gen Z,
you're Gen Z, aren't you?
Yeah.
I think all Gen Z are just...
I don't say it loud and proud.
But you come across
as a much older soul, actually.
Yeah.
I think it's because
I've been raised by older parents.
But there is this thing about
this need to not pick a lane but like people love labels what's your thinking on that though because
i i think i'm normally like our labels are things that divide us but i think under the kind of gay
woman umbrella i think they're actually quite important so wait what's my opinion on like all
of the labels yeah so like the butch the Fam the Dyke Hasbeens there's so many
I was googling it
there's so many labels
I feel like
you shouldn't have
to pick a lane
just
be queer
be yourself
you don't have to
stick to one lane
you can be whatever
like
being gay
is just like
being under
an umbrella
of so many
different categories
that you can fit in.
Like this is inclusivity is the main thing about being queer and just be who you want to be.
But labels, I guess they do help certain people when it comes to like, you know, if someone asks you what's your type?
Me personally, I would say more mask presenting with a femme side.
So mask, you've got mask and femme.
The femme presenting, is it like emotions or how they physically present?
It could be both.
It could be either or.
Okay, yeah, yeah, okay.
It could be, you know, mask presenting with a femme side
or femme presenting with a masculine side
because you hear that term dom femme.
Ah, I felt what that is.
Dom femme is basically
when you have like a feminine
presenting woman but she's
the more you know assertive
one in the relationship
she's like the alpha one
is that what you are just ask
what are you I'm getting dom femme vibes
labels labels labels
what are you
I'll say I'm a black cat
for sure
I am
black cat energy
I was getting black cat energy
when you were like
slinking your way into the
slinking my way
your hair was cut about
and I was like
yeah girl
I would say I'm more of a
black cat
like femme
dom femme energy
but
someone can
you know
tame you
yeah yeah yeah
it depends on the person
if they're like
a mask
with
like a feminine side
who's soft
yeah
golden retriever
I'm saying so many terms
labels are bad
but
you might as well
just open the lesbian
sorry
might as well open the lesbian dictionary
and just
go for it
but yeah
but it makes sense though
weirdly we're talking about labels and how they can be yeah. But it makes sense though. Weirdly, we're talking about labels
and how they can be quite limiting,
but it makes sense to me
what you're saying about,
basically what you're saying is
with the right person,
you could switch a little bit.
Also the inclusivity thing,
that's why the labels are important, right?
Because it's basically like,
you can be any of these things.
Yeah.
And if you see someone who's butch
and you're like,
maybe that's what I am.
Exactly. And you can chop and change, right? 100%. you see someone who's butch and you're like maybe that's what I am exactly
and you can chop and change
right
100%
have you ever tried
the butch thing
okay so I have tried
the you know
more masculine
presenting thing
and you know what
I did like a little
experiment in Wales
so I dressed femme
to a gay club
you're dressing femme
today though right
today 100%
this is femme
no not me
I'm butch I'm like a yummy mummy today
you're both
you're both slaying
either way
you both look
ten out of ten
oh babe
but I did do
a little experiment
I went to a gay club
in Cardiff
so I dressed femme
one day
absolutely dry as a bone
like could not get
any girls for the life of me
and then like a week later I dressed a little bit, absolutely dry as a bone, like could not get any girls for the life of me.
And then like a week later, I dress a little bit more masculine,
had girls coming up to me saying like,
oh my God, you're so pretty, this, that and the other. Do you want a drink?
And I was like, maybe I should do this more often.
Maybe I should just test the waters a little bit.
Going from femme to more.
Just switch it up.
Yeah.
And like, because apparently there's a mask shortage.
So, like,
I had my hair...
There's a mask shortage.
What has happened?
I don't know.
Maybe all the girlies
are snatching the masks up.
Oh, if I was a gay woman,
I'd be masked, I think.
Do you reckon?
Yeah, like,
you know, like, Lena Waithe?
Lena Waithe.
Lena Waithe.
Yeah, I was actually
a denial champion.
I was a name,
sorry, I corrected you.
Lena Waithe.
She's in Master of None.
Yeah, I know who she is. I know who she is. She's in Master of None girls you know who she is
I know who she is
she's in Master of None
yeah yeah yeah
yeah Master of None
I love that show
Lena Waithe
no I love that show
okay so for me
that is what I would be
I think her look is so sick
where you'd have like
a buzz cut
she's so hot
a buzz cut
I'd like
everything
have you seen Harlem
anyone seen Harlem
no I haven't
okay this is pointless
so I'm bi-curious
oh but this is every time I think'm bi-curious. Oh.
But this is every time we...
I think you'd be Ellen.
Ellen?
Ellen did you do this?
Yeah.
I'm like the relationship
between Ellen and her wife.
And Portia.
And Portia Russell.
Oh, okay.
You'd be the Ellen
in the relationship.
No, no, I need to be led.
I don't know what the fuck
I'm doing with women.
Oh, but she likes femme.
Yeah, maybe you'll push her.
So I want a dom femme.
Oh.
I want a dom femme. She, you want a dom femme.
She's coming on to me, guys.
Just say you're attracted to me.
I am.
You're cute.
But I just, because I mostly date guys,
and I just haven't really,
like I do match with women,
but I just, I'm like, oh.
Are you like scared to flirt?
Is that the thing?
No, no, no.
It's not that I'm scared to flirt
it's that I cannot flirt
let's just fucking like
sort of like
I cannot flirt
men or women
my thing is
but the thing is
see this is where I become
like stuck
the way I flirt with guys
I'm a bit mean to them
and it's like rinsy
and like whatever
it's like very bantery
like mates
like I talk to Robina
but with women
I feel like I need to be
more respectful
and the humour doesn't translate as much.
No, it doesn't at all.
Yes.
It's very different.
And I know that because I tried it.
Yeah.
And this is the struggle that Demi had on the show
because, like, obviously she's a baby gay
and she's used to flirting with men.
Yes.
So she was mean to Fiorenza as a way of flirting
and that translation didn't kind of
travel
yeah because women
we're not mean to each other
no
we're not
men rinse us
and because we're used
to a society of like
men rinsing other men
and therefore we have to be used
to whatever the status quo is
so I'm just like
a bit mean
a bit of a dick
a bit of a
jack the lad
but that doesn't work
with women
no not at all
so what the fuck do I do
you've got to be smooth
I'm not smooth
no it's all about like eye contact no but what if on a dating app what do I do you've got to be smooth I'm not smooth no it's all about
like eye contact
no but what if
on a dating app
what do I do on a dating app
I can't look at them
on the dating app
what do I say
no I don't care
about the dating app
eye contact
let's have fun
so we're in a bar
we're in a bar
me and Rueena
are in a bar
you're coming over
what do you do to
like tell us
do you know also
what's your gaydar like
oh it's so good
do you think
so good
like genuinely
I remember there was this woman in university and she What's your gaydar like? Oh, it's so good. Do you think? So good. Like genuinely.
I remember there was this woman in university and she said, oh no, I'm straight, I'm straight.
And like she was giving me kind of bi vibes.
Okay.
And I literally said to my ex-girlfriend at the time, I was like, she's bi, 100%. That 19 year old.
Yeah.
And then like we broke up obviously.
And she, like this girl called me up.
She was like, you want to come out?
And then she was in the bar. The night that we broke up, she was like she, like, this girl called me up. She was like, you want to come out? And then she was in the bar.
Like, the night that we broke up,
she was, like, feeling on my boobs and everything.
She said, like, come outside.
And she literally kissed me.
And then we slept over that night.
No way.
So what do you do?
So you've got to eye fuck them,
which we know I can't do.
Literally eye fuck them.
Yeah, I can't do that.
I don't think I have any gay dar.
Like, I don't think I'd be able to tell
if someone was gay or straight, ever.
Oh, you've got to have it.
You've got to have it.
You've just got to have it. So then after the eyes, how, like, so this is a problem. be able to tell if someone was gay or straight, ever. Oh, you've got to have it. You've got to have it. You've just got to have it.
So then after the eyes, how, like, this is a problem.
I talk to them like they're dudes and they're not dudes, obviously.
No.
So what do you do?
So you have to be kind and compliment them.
Give me some tips.
Okay, I'd say you have to be, obviously, be complimentary.
Yes.
We like love languages.
Yes.
And then you have to look them in their eyes and just be kind of slower.
You just have to be sensual.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
And don't be too, like, men are very forward.
Okay.
Okay.
That's okay.
I'm actually, like, enraptured.
I'm, like, hypnotised by your spell right now.
Just you telling me how to flirt.
I'm just like, oh.
Yeah, you just have to be more like, well that I know what I like when women approach me I like
that kind of smooth vibe and like slow yeah and it gets something that gets you flustered
essentially I love the word lesbian it's a great word I know but like isn't there that cliche that
like lesbians fall in love really hard with each other and get married like really really quickly
oh yeah and the gay relationships
I know are relationships
like been together for
20 years
type relationships
I know
lesbians just move really fast
I can't help it
I heard that in the day
why?
I think because we're much
we're emotional
we're in sync
we talk about our feelings more
whereas guys
bottle everything up anyway
and just don't talk about it
and then just don't talk
and then they're like
we talk about everything
communication is key in a queer relationship do you know what i do sometimes
stay up late with my male partner wanting to him to talk to me and i'm like you know then he's just
like i'm sleeping like why are we in bed talking i'm like i try to be like in the movies or we're
like chatting to each other all night in bed and he's like no i'm not your girlfriend and i was
like yeah no that would never happen in a lesbian relationship or a queer relationship. I promise you, if you bring up a problem in a queer relationship, they're going to be like, OK, tell me about it.
What can we fix? It's literally therapy.
And I love it. But at the same time, you're like, have I even prepared myself for this conversation?
I went into this. I brought up the conversation have I prepared myself for it
oh but for losing three days yeah I know lip sync equals I love you equals moving in equals
you haul you haul I heard this this time you hauling a relationship you haul relationship
what does that mean so you know in America they have that moving company you haul so you haul is
when you're like in a relationship like a really short period of time and then you literally
move in with that person
yeah
it's a U-Haul relationship
after two weeks
you're living together
and you buy a cat
oh my god
oh my god
lesbians love a cat
lesbians love
in all forms
I don't think I can keep
the pace of a lesbian
I couldn't keep the pace
I couldn't keep
that kind of pace
you definitely couldn't
keep that pace
I couldn't keep that pace
no no no
Poppy's like
I got many many
walls to get through before you get to Poppy yeah no no I've, no. Poppy's like, I got many, many walls together
before you get to Poppy.
Yeah, no, no.

I'm like, okay, bye, see you later.

Compared to something
Like Love Island
Oh my God.
Let's just say you have to kiss a lot of frogs.
And you have to have...
Kissing is two-sided.
You can be a shit kisser with a shit kisser.
Do you know what I mean?
And then not know that either of you are shit.
Exactly.
No, I think a shit kiss feels like a shit kiss.
It's like, I know I'm being shit right now because you're being shit right now.
But that shit kisser will kind of, I't know lead the kiss and you're like oh
you know what piss off yeah I'm done can I say something really uh this is so obnoxious even
when I'm with a shit kisser I'm like I know I'm better than you like I'm trying to get you out of
teeth teeth teeth or yeah too much tongue tongue tongue like i know i'm trying to orchestrate and finesse the situation but like i am a fucking great kisser genuinely i really
slide into my dms you think i'm shit i'll see so slide into mine you can tell me the truth
i know like when people go too fast or there's like too much like tongue i think it's all about
relaxed lips as well if anyone's too tense coming to your mouth you're just like
what
you've got to have
like a relaxed
pillowy lip
for both of you
and then it kind of lands
and then
it has to do that
for a bit
with no tongue
no tongues
don't jump into the
yeah
slow your own
I can't like me and you

you're horny
hot dance floor and you're just like fuck you get in but some of the girls were like oh yeah place for straight into tongues. It's like your horny, hot dance floor.

I'm so
I'm really fighting this
I need to have sex
more than kissing

I don't even think
I could have sex
with somebody
who I'm kissed
think about how often
you have sex
compared to like
in a relationship

like that little moment
of intimacy

by the end of the episode.
Okay.
Were you guys banging on I Kissed A Girl?
I mean, there is an episode recently that came out where we talk about the knee thing.
What knee thing?
You don't know the knee thing?
No.
Okay, so the knee thing is basically a strategically placed knee on the vagine.
What, like a dry, humping knee? Okay, no, no, no. This is the vagine. This is the vagine. What, like a dry,

Okay, sorry, yeah, go on.
Okay, so,

all coy and shy?
We're literally too,

on the show
so we talk about
the knee thing
and that's what
Ney did do they say that you can't get you to on the show, so we talk about the knee thing and that's what Ney did.
Do they say that you can't get you to orgasm?
Oh, I bet you any money.
It depends on what kind of...
Yeah, what gets you off, right?
Yeah, it depends on what gets you going, babe.
Did production say you couldn't have sex?
No, they never said that.
Oh, okay.
They just said that, you know...
It's advisable not to.
There's cameras, guys.
Yeah, exactly.
I think it's due to under the sheets.
Me and Ney got quite frisky. Frisky. There's cameras, guys. Yeah, exactly. I think me and A
got quite frisky.
Yeah.
Under the sheets
and we had to cover ourselves
a few times
but the knee thing did happen.
They aired it
and that was revealed.
Yeah.
Knee gate.
Yeah.
The knee thing.
And then like
people were saying in the comments
like, oh yeah, I'm straight
and even I know
what the knee thing is
and I was like, I didn't fucking know that.
I'm going home tonight and getting kneed.
That sounds violent.
Like getting kneed in the machine.
He's going to be like, what?
Can you do the knee thing?
Yeah, he would definitely be like, what?
Someone said, I did the knee thing on my boyfriend.
I was like, that's going to fucking hurt. Exactly. hurt I was so confused oh my god I literally oh I can't
you revealed on the show that you once got engaged to someone that you met online can you tell us
the story I can I can indeed so basically um on Hinge. I put my location in London. And I was scrolling,
scrolling, scrolling. I absolutely like, didn't like anyone came across this woman. I was like,
Oh, she's American. Cool. Like she liked me, liked her back. We got talking. She was like,
Hey, hey, and blah, blah, blah, blah. And next thing you you know we've been FaceTiming
talking
you hauling
you hauling
she told me eventually
like she lives in America
I was like whatever

talking for like about
two months
and then
next thing you know

every single day mind

aired her for a little bit
and then we got back talking
and then
she bought me a ring
after two months
that's a U-Haul on crack
on crack
and we never met each other
and I literally cried
you never met each other
did you get your ring
oh my god
we never met
what happened
and so I was just like
oh my god

I just said yes
and then we were
what you said yes and then we were and then she got
deployed overseas she's in the army the u.s military oh my god this is you are full of wild
stories i know she got this is like being in an episode of star plus i will tell you another wild
story after this because you will absolutely be flabbergasted so why were this bloody military

and while she was deployed she was absolutely miserable because she was basically living in a
tin can um in the desert and for nine months and we were like it was just this back and forth just
like oh my god like this is not gonna work so we broke up and then that's when I applied for the show and went on the show I know and then so she might be dead what do you mean she might be
dead she's in the army god forbid god forbid so your your rebound relationship is going on
yeah wow pretty much if we hadn't have broken up and I wouldn't have gone on the show,
I don't know how long it would have been.
Genuinely, I think I would have waited
because she thought I was a catfish
because my legs were so hairy.
She didn't even believe that I had legs.
I wouldn't show her.
My legs literally look like my brother's legs.
They're not hairy now.
They are hairy.
I'm not going to lie.
They are hairy somewhat.
Okay.
I think... They're not... Oh, they're stubbly. They are hairy somewhat. Okay. I think.
They're not.
Oh, they're stubbly.
They're stubbly for now.
But they used to be.
I mean, she thought you were a catfish, but she still proposed to you.
Yeah.
So this is wild.
She's just as insane as me.
How old was she?
She was 27.
What?
Yeah.
Wow.
I know.
I wonder where that ring is.
In a pawn shop.
In the sea. Wow. What's. Wonder where that ring is. In a porn shop. In the sea.
Wow.
What's your other wild story?
Okay, so here's the, I think this is even, no, it can't be.
I don't know.
You can tell me whether it's more wild.
So basically I was seeing, she was American as well.
She was a footballer and I met her on Tinder.
We'd been seeing each other for a few months and then it was my birthday and she took me out for a birthday meal. We went back to her place and she was, it was around,
what was it, around midnight? And she was using my strap.
Like your strap on?
My strap, yeah.
Is that bad? What is that? I don't understand. Was that bad?
Like I let her use it.
Okay.
Like I let her use it on me.
Okay. I let her use it on me. Okay.
And then, like, she...
I don't know.
After this shit sex, she's getting dressed,
and she's like, I'm going to go see a friend.
On my birthday, mind.
In her apartment.
She was like, I'm going to go see a friend.
You were in her apartment?
Mm-hmm.
You've just had sex.
She's putting on her clothes to go and see her friend
and leave you in her apartment?
Yeah, on my birthday.
Rude. No, and then I said, what are you doing? It's birthday she looks at the time she's like it's past midnight it's not your birthday anymore did she expect you to leave no she just let me
stay there and then obviously she leaves this is not the wild part she leaves and then she's like
taking her bag with her i'm looking around i. I'm basically naked. I'm looking around. I'm like, where's my strap?
And she took my strap to go fuck another girl on my birthday.
And then she didn't come back until the morning.
And I leave her building to take myself out to a brunch, a post-birthday brunch.
And as soon as I'm coming out of the building,
she comes out of taxi in the same clothes,
in the same tote bag with my strap in,
strap in, strap on,
and literally walk.
She follows me all the way to brunch.
I ignore her.
She's like, Priya, Priya.
I ignore her.
She literally forces herself to sit with me at brunch,
still with the strap in her bag.
Use Dutty's strap on another another girl and then she cancels your
brunch with all these other friends so you're now you're having brunch with her and then what
happens i accidentally spill a mimosa on her that's what happens that is way great but that
wasn't the end oh my god what i literally her again. And it's her finals tournament.
Like they're in the finals of the cup.
And stupid old me, I bake her a carrot cake from scratch
because it's her favourite cake.
This is post-Strapgate.
Post.
Oh my God.
I know, I'm an idiot.
And then I go all the way with this cake in my hands,
like a dickhead.
And I'm sitting in the stand.
She didn't even play.
She was benched the whole game.
And then I'm just sitting there with this cake like a nerd.
Like, here you go, darling.
The one who cheated on me.
And you weren't even playing.
I know.
It was so cringe.
We need to provide an intervention right now.
Are you still friends with this person?
Because she does not sound like a good egg.
No.
She has texted me, though.
She has said, oh, I've seen you on the show.
Okay.
She's clout chasing then, obviously,
because she didn't treat you...
She applied for the show, actually.
Oh, and she didn't get it.
Benched again, bitch.
Period.
Good one.
Did you get your strap back?
No.
Oh, God, no.
I did cut her little straps up
into like a little accordion shape.
Oh.
Yeah, I got my own back.
Oh, my God.
But there's not much I could have...
I don't know if I'm ready to join your side, man.
There's a lot of fucking drama.
Lesbians are drama.
Yeah, you've got a lot going on.
I just have to say,
I don't think it's so central and gentle.
No, I feel like you have to have a lot of thick skin.
You have.
You need to find the right one, though. We're not all like that, I promise you. No, of course, of course. I'm like you have to have a lot of thick skin. You have. You need to find the right one, though.
We're not all like that, I promise you.
No, of course, of course.
I'm like 99% joking.
I just pick some bad eggs, genuinely.
I pick some really bad eggs.
Do you think you're going through your bad egg era?
No, I'm over it.
Okay, good.
I'm done.
Because I think all of us, like, you just go through, like,
whether it's toxic men, toxic women, you're like,
it's a bit self-destructive, isn't it?
You go through that like, fuck it.
Yeah.
You've reached the Shaggy Auntie's call centre.
Want advice you can't ask your real aunties for?
Like, how do you ask for what you want in bed?
Not sure which hole is a goal?
Where do anal beads really go? Have you been
faking orgasms your whole adult life? Accidentally called your boss daddy? Is your long-time love
not going down south? For more than just the tip, we're here for you. Yes, you. And you. And you.
Priya, we've got this feature on Brown Girls Do It Too called Shagging Aunties. And at the end of each episode, we help a listener out with a dilemma.
And we'd really appreciate some of your advice.
So, Robina, you've got to say the T's and C's.
Here's a disclaimer.
Please remember to ask the bill payer's permission before calling us.
Shagging Aunties are not medical professionals and bear no responsibility for the consequences of your own actions.
So today's listener dilemma is, I would love your advice, please.
Well, that's what we're here for.
I've been with my partner for seven years
and we've grown out of the habit of proper kissing.
I'm not talking pecs.
I'm talking sensual, slow, butterfly-inducing,
French kissing with tongues.
And I really miss it in my life.
I'm worried I'll never have it again.
How and when do I bring it up to him without offending?
It feels very awkward.
Priya, what's your advice?
You don't bring it up.
You just do.
You create an atmosphere, you know,
put on, like, a film maybe with candles, you know, set the scene,
and then you just, you know, know just they're your partner that's your
person yeah you can do whatever with each other don't feel shy don't feel like it's awkward it
it makes it awkward if you have to talk about it just do and that's what I've learned anyway like
I think it kind of kills the mood a little bit when you have to talk about it.
I agree with you because I think in some things in sex and relationships, you do have to talk and communication is key.
But I think kissing is one of the rare things that you can just show, not tell.
Yeah.
Like when he's pecking you, grab him closer and then do that.
The butterfly inducing is your spine drop thing exactly like
just off guard yeah like hold him closer and do what you want like lead lead the kissing tango
when you're expecting it like it kind of takes the magic out of it like I know that when I've
been with like you know partners when they kind of just like look me in my eyes look me up and
down like they want to eat me like that's when I get that tingling that tingling feeling and they kind of it feels like a first date again like
you're yeah you're on a first date and they you feel desired yeah and I'm sure that's what your
partner wants to feel as well like you have to make your partner feel like that just as well
as yourself the whole package the whole package so what would you say I would say talk about it
really
yeah I would
I think after you've been
with someone for a long time
you're both very busy
you're both
kind of take each other
for granted a little bit
and it's really important
in a relationship
to check in
because he might be like
or she
might be thinking
I'm not really thinking
about that right now
and actually if they come
in for a kiss
I don't even have
the headspace for it
like you've got to
you've got to get into
your partner's head
and be like this is my thing but then again I feel like even have the headspace for it. Like, you've got to get into your partner's head and be like, this is my opinion.
But then again, I feel like that's one more thing
they have to be like, you know, worrying about.
Like, oh, once you put that in their head,
they're like, oh, does my partner think I don't desire them
because I don't kiss them enough?
I think you should absolutely put that in your partner's head
if you're feeling that.
Really?
If you feel like you're not being desired by your partner,
you should absolutely project to them and say,
do you not fancy me anymore
because the worst
that you could possibly do
is end up in a relationship
with somebody
who doesn't fancy you
and you know that
and you're sitting
in this relationship
doing nothing about it
ladies I've got a happy medium
what she does
or he does
is tries
our approach first
and if they're still
being met by a fucking peck
that is
then you do the challenge
100%
because I think
you show
maybe once, twice,
and if they're still not getting it,
sit down, pass the peas,
salt and pepper, listen.
Oh yeah, if that doesn't work,
don't just pretend like it never happened.
A hundred percent.
Don't like deep it.
You don't have to be like,
let's sit down and have a conversation
about why we're not kissing anymore.
Just be like,
I want to snog you.
I want to have sex with you.
If I haven't had sex with my partner in the time that is too long when I'm suddenly feeling horny and feeling unsatisfied,
I'll be like, I want to have sex.
I have really enjoyed having you on Brown Girls Do It Too, honestly.
And I think kissing is just never going to get old, clearly.
And we'd rather kiss than fuck.
No other animals kiss, I don't think.
Who came up with kissing? Who was the first person to kiss someone? I actually think chimpanzees do kiss. fuck no other animals kiss I don't think who came up with kissing who was the
first person to kiss
someone I actually
think chimpanzees do
kiss do chimpanzees
I don't know I don't
think any other
animals kiss dolphins
do dolphins kiss
other animals no they
play they play other
animals kiss dogs
oh look camels
I wasn't expecting
that either
chimpanzees and
bonobos do kiss
yeah monkeys that's fine so I mean as one of the species that love to kiss I'm't expecting that either chimpanzees and bonobos do kiss yeah monkeys
that's fine
so I mean
as one of the species
that love to kiss
I'm really glad
that belongs to us
yeah
I'm really glad
I'm a human
because I can kiss
but I could have been kissed
if I was a chimpanzee
or bonobo
well so just do more kissing
kiss more
kiss more
exactly
don't
not strangers
someone you love
kiss someone you love
yeah or family
or family
but a different type of kissing
yeah
that's a different type of kissing it's a different type of kissing yeah yeah yeah
