Starting point is 00:02:37 We are just coming out of isolation, a pandemic, and there's been a lot written lately and talked about this being the summer of sex. Have you heard this? How to date during a horny vac summer? Are we heading toward the summer of sex? Is this going to be the horneous summer of all time? Those are just some headlines in front of me right now.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Obviously, we don't know what's going to happen, but it is true that many of us have been isolated during quarantine. Maybe we didn't really date or we did date, it was kind of disappointing. And if you're in a relationship, aren't you ready to get out of your house and have some fun this summer? I think that's the one thing we can all agree on. The sun is out. We're ready to have fun. But what do we do about our sex life? How do we get more adventurous? So let me just lay down some stats here for you.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Hinge, one of the fastest-growing dating sites, says that 85% of their users were open to going dates as soon as lockdown lifts. Half of their users already arranged real-life dates. And then, in the same month, Directs announced a double-digit increase in condom sales. We know what that means, right? I think that we are all very,
Starting point is 00:03:45 very optimistic. I read these articles. I'm looking at what people are saying. It's true. It could be the summer of sex. People are talking about the Spanish flu in 1918, and then when that ended, we ran into the warring 20s, and it was just alcohol and flappers and a good time. But I also know a lot about the human condition. And I think a lot of us sort of have our baseline. If you were somebody who loved to go out and sleep around, and that's your jam and dating several people, you're probably going to do it maybe even more so this summer. But if you're someone who's looking for a relationship and you actually looking for that partner, I say do you this summer, like find what you are looking for. So don't
Starting point is 00:04:23 let the hype make you feel like you have to give in. Like, oh, I guess I should just date a bunch of people this summer if that's not what you're looking for. So I just ask everyone to take care of yourself. And as always, only you of the answers for what really feels good to you and what you're looking for. If you're looking for a partner, what's important to you? What are their values? Are you looking for a long-term relationship, or are you looking for someone to have children with? Do you want to are their values? Are you looking for a long-term relationship? Are you looking for someone to have children with? Do you want to live with someone?
Starting point is 00:04:49 I just think it's important to get really clear because sometimes we get out there and we date and we're like, oh, I didn't want any of these things that is person ones, but they're really hot. I'm really attracted to them. So hopefully you had time during the pandemic to kind of think about a lot of these things and now you're ready to go.
Starting point is 00:05:05 How do you enjoy a summer of hot sex? Well, I've got some ideas for you. Whether you're in a relationship or you're dating or it's a one night stand, let's all enjoy some hot summer sex. So one of the first things, which I always think about when I think of summer sex, is sensation play. And we wrote something about this on our Instagram and a lot of you were like, what do you mean by temperature play, sensation play? So temperature play essentially uses hot and cold
Starting point is 00:05:29 sensations to stimulate the skin's neural receptors or all those nerve endings. And so when you stimulate through heat or through cold, it gives your body that rush of sensations and endorphins. And if you're doing it during four play, you know, it happens then. It gets translated into your rousal. So this is just kind of a fun thing you can do with your partner and to play with. And it's really fun for the receiver when hot and cold are combined together
Starting point is 00:05:57 in unpredictable patterns, meaning you can drop some warm, massage oil wax, and then you can do some more heat, and then you can put a little ice cube on, and then you could maybe use some warming loops. So just play around. There is no script here. I'm just gonna give you the ingredients. So what do you need to do sensation play,
Starting point is 00:06:16 temperature play, ice cubes? Ice cubes in a bowl, you can just have them by your bed. There's a lot of different ways to play with ice cubes. Then there's massage candles. You know I'm obsessed with massage candles. Remember, don't use a regular candle. A regular candle has wax. Massage candles are usually made out of ingredients that are like warming coconut oil. They're ingredients that you can are meant to pour on a partner and to use as massage oil. So look for the label on the candle. uses massage oil. So look for the label on the candle. There's warming lu by system joe, which is amazing. Use it on different body parts and things warm up. They feel good.
Starting point is 00:06:53 You could also use an ice pack if you don't want to use ice cubes because ice packs tend to be less messy and maybe you just can grab an ice pack. And you could also if you want toys. Now glass and metal toys are really fun for temperature play. Essentially, you're looking for objects that retain their temperature. So those made of metal and glass will do so. So you can chill them, put them in the freezer, or you can boil them.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Those are really fun to play with. If you wanna know how to do it though, like how do you do temperature play, you can use a blindfold on your partner and tell them you have a surprise for them. And then you could light a candle, and you can use the warm oil on the candle or some warming loop. Can you imagine?
Starting point is 00:07:30 They have no idea that something that you rub on them is going to start to heat up in a few seconds. Then you can sort of use an ice cube. You can put an ice pack in your hand. With one hand, you could be playing with your partner and then once your hand is really cold from the ice pack, you could use that hand and give your partner a hand job or play with them so your hand is actually ice cold or take the ice cubes in your mouth and you can drip them down your partner's body.
Starting point is 00:07:52 When you could have ice in your mouth and then, you know, go down on your partner and have them feel that sensation when they least expect it. So it's just temperature. It's just a fun thing to do. We're going to be hot this. And I love recommending that. So what about just adventurous sex? How do you do something that? What does that mean to you?
Starting point is 00:08:09 If I'm like, oh, I just wanna get out of my house. Well, do something fun and new and interesting. I mean, adventure to you might be something different than it is to me, which is totally fine. But adventurous is just outside your comfort zone, outside of what you normally do. So if you want to start, there's some fun sex games. There's like sex dies, there's games that actually ask questions to your partner, so they're like leading questions, so you can figure out more about each other. That just might be something fun if you've never played a site. If you're already a
Starting point is 00:08:39 game couple, you might as well play a fun sex game. We have a bunch on our site available through Good Vibrations. They have a bunch on our site available through good vibrations They have a ton of board games and sex games and sex cards and that could be your first step. Oh also There's a great article on our website called 5BDSM games to spice up your sex life tonight I promise if you read that you will be very inspired You also know that I'm obsessed with our yes-no Maybe list if you haven't downloaded that that's gonna give you a lot of suggestions about what you could do. That is adventurous and fun.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Skitty dipping. This is the time, right? It's time to skinny dip. So I think that's always hot, whether you're jumping in the ocean, or jumping in a pool. I'm a huge fan of hotel sacks. It might be one of my favorite two of my favorite words. Here's the thing about hotel sacks. It's a variety. You're in a new location that is not the same bedroom. You can relax. You know, we don't care as much about the sheets, right? You can have sex in every room in the hotel. You can have sex on the balcony. You order room service.
Starting point is 00:09:39 You don't have any distractions. No kids around. It's a great ambiance. And you can make as much noise as you want. That's what I love about hotel rooms. So, let me give you some tips about what to pack for hotel or vacation sex. If you want to get a little bit more adventures this year. So, I always charge my toys before I go on vacation. Like, does that mean if you do a packing list,
Starting point is 00:09:58 like things that you always bring when you travel, well mine has sex toys on it. And depending where I'm going, I have to make that a smaller bag of toys. If I'm driving somewhere, I might be a big bag of toys, depending how ambitious I'm feeling. But I always bring my vest burr,
Starting point is 00:10:14 because I'm wearing it all the time. Anyway, so I always have a vibrator on me. And I love my vest burr necklace. It's a great gift. Vest burr necklace, it looks like a pen around your neck. And yes, it vibrates and it's your neck. And yes, it vibrates and it's really pretty. And I wear it every single day. It's sex with Emily dot com slash crave. I often bring my J.J.J.J.J.J.O.U.E. They have a couple's collection. And I seems
Starting point is 00:10:37 like whenever I travel, there's always some J.J.J. products with me. So their Mimi or their Mimi soft is a great toy to use with a partner during penetration or on yourself. They have a G-spot bullet vibe which is small but it packs a punch and it's great for internal stimulation. They also have a penis ring called the Mio. And the thing I love about these products is that they're really, there's like this deep rumbly sensations, it's super soft silicone, and they also have a B vibe kit, which we love B vibe. They make all Adel toys, and I love them if you wanted to experiment. So I'd be really fun to play with Adel this summer. Maybe it's a summer of you trying to made a play. Back to what I pack. I always
Starting point is 00:11:25 pack little packs of lube. I have little bottles that I bring. I always bring samples like the flavored lube by System Joe. And I also usually bring a silicone lube just because I like to have them all with me. Another great thing is for ya has this brand new lube that they just launched that has a doubled the CBD in it. I just got it and it already is the most excellent loop because it's just too ingredients, it's coconut oil and it's CBD. However, they just put twice the amount of CBD in it
Starting point is 00:11:56 and it's great to relax, it can help with pain, it can lead to much stronger orgasms. I recommend for you, always. And then another new fave, you guys, this is what I've been doing quarantine, I've been trying a lot of products. I love dame products. My friends started the company years ago,
Starting point is 00:12:14 it's been very successful. They have their EVA, which is one of their best known toys. And I love the EVA because, first of all, it's really small. Essentially, it's a waterproof, like, couples vibrator that you can use for stimulation during petatrate of sex. So you've got a picture of the Eva, it looks like a little bug or something. And it has these little wings that tuck behind your labia.
Starting point is 00:12:38 So you're essentially wearing it, so you can use it hands-free, and you can also use it with a partner. So to me, that's a great getaway thing. The Dame Eva if you haven't tried it or you've even checked it out, it is so much fun and it's hands free. Oh, another thing by Dame is they have this finger vibe. It is so cool, it's called the fin and essentially you put it over your finger and your finger
Starting point is 00:13:03 becomes a vibrator. So just a great way to cover more surface area and your finger becomes a vibrator. So just a great way to cover more surface area and to play with a vibrator with a partner. If that's something that you've been sort of shy about, this one is so discreet, it's really quiet. You just wear your fingers, you can tease yourself, tease your partner, and it's a great way to add a little bit of stimulation
Starting point is 00:13:23 to everyone's aridness zones. And it is so well done. I love their products. They come in great little packaging and they're water resistant and they're just adorable. So check out all the dame products. So usually if I'm going with a partner, I'll bring something like a penis ring, I'll bring a toy that can be used in a bunch of different body parts and definitely pack, Loub. So how do you continue to keep it interesting?
Starting point is 00:13:49 Well, again, I'm going to remind you that you don't have to do all these things at once. Typically, we're just bored because we're doing the same things over and over again, so it can just be a matter of trying one new thing. You don't have to change it up every time. It also helps to get on the same pages, your partner. What do you want to do the next time you have sex? What do you fantasize about? What do you guys both excited? Ask them about the most memorable times they've had sex with you. You can think about your sex
Starting point is 00:14:14 scripts. We did a great episode with Dr. Ian Kerner a few weeks ago. You can listen to that with your partner and find out what are the patterns that you want to mix up in your relationship. You can watch porn together. That's a great way to get ideas for mixing up your sex life. And I love Bolesa because they make porn that's for all genders. You know, a lot of it is made for women. It's Bolesa, B-E-L-L-E-S-A, super hot porn. And it's way more of a turn on for all genders, like I said.
Starting point is 00:14:42 We have a new blog on our site, Summer Sex Position. So I know you all love positions. So just check out that blog, and you're gonna have some new positions to try this summer. And I just asked you all, here's a little bit of inspiration from our Instagram audience. I said, what's one of your hottest summer hookups
Starting point is 00:14:58 you've ever had? Here's some things you said. Watching my girl get hit on at a pool in Vegas and I'm watching them of sex back in his room. The sound of the headboard hitting the wall is the heartbeat of summer. Someone else said, well, hiking in underground tunnels, it's super hot because it was so spontaneous.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Inside the Africa, I ended up with fun on the cliff, while Wales jumped offshore. That sounds romantic and sexy. Constantly sneaking off at parties, making out, fingering oral, never quite penetrative sex. Someone else said with a professional kayaker in the woods, back of his equipment van, hot and spontaneous. Someone else, we stuck on the golf course I live on,
Starting point is 00:15:40 the fear of getting caught was hot. In the hotel lobby bathroom. Some random guy at the beach, first time a guy sucked on my clip. My wife, having me explore bisexuality, I found that I love giving oral sex to a penis. She loves it and joins. Pulled off a country road behind a tree with my husband in his Jeep, spontaneous and sexy. And then someone else on the beachfront balcony in the middle of the night. Alright, thank you for that inspiration. And you realize a lot of those, this is so, this always holds true that a lot of your
Starting point is 00:16:15 most memorable, hottest, sexual experiences seem to be when it's spontaneous. You didn't know what was going to happen, it was unexpected, it was off the side of the road, it was something you didn't know. So those are some things to think about when you're thinking about your hottest sexiest summer yet. I'm going to take a quick break, but when I come back, I'm talking all about how to have at home. Before we get into your questions, my team had some summer sex quickie questions for me. What's my best summer hookup story? Oh, I have so many.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I would say my summer hookup last summer in Iceland was pretty hot. And I've talked about it on the show, but it was unexpected. I did really know him. It was really safe and consensual. We had great sex, and then he left, and I got to go to sleep and get up for work in the morning. But it's the worst summer hookup I've had.
Starting point is 00:17:22 God, I wish I wrote down all of my sex capades. I actually had a disappointing one in Italy because this guy was told he was Italian, he was all my friends were like, he's amazing, he owns these hotels and he's super sexy and he has his own yacht, he's going to come pick you up and then he did, we went out, he was a little bit of a misogynist and wasn't really interested in anything about me and assumed that the sex was just going to happen but it didn't. I jumped off the boat and went back to my friends. What's the best way to have vacation sex without leaving your house? That's a great question. Listen, if we know that spot, nadi, and variety are so important to having great sex, surprise your partner, set up
Starting point is 00:18:02 the tent in the backyard, have a picnic outside, have sex and a tent in your yard. But I think that the key to vacation sex at home is changing up the rooms or maybe re-decorating a room, moving a couch around, having sex somewhere that you don't normally have sex in your house and then bringing in a new element, whether it's a new toy. You know, maybe you bring your iPad outside under the stars and you set up a big, like a blow up mattress and you make it a really comfy bed outside and then you have your iPad and you watch porn
Starting point is 00:18:31 that you've never done before. That would be really hot. What country do I want to have sex in that I haven't yet? Ooh. I want to have sex in Buenos Aires. That's where I want to have sex in Argentina. Okay, so now that we're so reliant and used dating online,
Starting point is 00:18:47 how can we start meeting and approaching people in real life? A lot of us are out of practice right now. We might have some social anxiety. We might have to be ready to start meeting people, but my first tip is to start saying yes to everything. Stay yes to invitations that are coming in that you might not normally say yes to. Perhaps you had, there's someone that you might not normally say yes to perhaps you had
Starting point is 00:19:05 You know, there's someone that you're just acquaintance with and you think oh, I really want to go to their party But remember we meet people through other people so my first thing is just start getting out there and meeting people and talking to them Practice striking up conversations The other thing you can do is let everybody know your single I've to say that in every episode I will but I'm telling you whenever I say that to someone, I'm like, oh yeah, I'm dating right now. I'm looking to be fixed up. Eventually, someone fixes you up, or maybe they have a friend of a friend, or maybe they go out and meet someone that night. These are all the ways we did it before we would date online. And also, I think that we have to get a
Starting point is 00:19:39 little bit more resilient. I think we're all really bad at hailing rejection. That might be another reason why we like the apps, because we're like, I don't have to get rejected in real life. But we have to just get more comfortable with the discomfort of rejection. Because once you go through it enough, you can just think, I'm practicing. I'm asking this person out. I'm putting my heart in the line. I'm being vulnerable. I'm saying what I want. And if this person doesn't meet me or they don't want the same things, I'm getting stronger as a person who is going after what I want. I'm practicing because remember, it's a skill set.
Starting point is 00:20:14 It takes courage to ask someone out, it takes courage to approach someone, but reduction is part of it. And I just have to promise you all that it definitely gets easier over time. Like everything, the more you take risks with dating and with love, the easier it gets and the faster you're going to be able to find someone that you want to be with. All right, would you get some emails? This is from Maddox. Hey, Dr. Mlee.
Starting point is 00:20:38 So my fiance and I have discussed and wanted to get your opinion on this idea. We're both perfectly okay with partying during our bachelor parties and we've given each other the green light to have sex or do whatever we feel like at our respective parties. Is that weird or unhealthy of us? Well, Maddox, the only you get to decide if it's weird or unhealthy. I would definitely put boundaries around it. Are you both agree to tell the stories of what happened? Do you want to know every detail? Does she want to know every detail?
Starting point is 00:21:09 Have you both ever had an experience with jealousy in your relationship? Is this a behavior that you've practiced before, like sleeping with other people and talking about it? I hope that it is because I think the first time to practice talking about sleeping with another person, you're about to get married, could be kind of dicey. So I don't think that it's weird or unhealthy, only if you don't set boundaries around it,
Starting point is 00:21:34 and really have a conversation about what you're going to do with this information, and make sure that you don't want to use it against each other in the future as like a weapon or something to make yourself feel bad. This is from Lauren 28 in Indiana. Hey Dr. Abelie, I've always been turned on by the idea of having sex in public. The problem is I get way too anxious to paranoid about it and think that even if I do it discreetly, I'm going to get in trouble or get arrested. My boyfriend and I want to spice up our sex life by doing this, but again, I don't want
Starting point is 00:22:05 to end up in jail for getting my sex on. Do you have any ideas and places that feel like having sex in public won't necessarily get you in trouble? Thanks so much. I love the show. Alright, here's the thing. It is a little, I just true. So like I said, sex in your backyard, but making it seem like it's somewhere new and exciting,
Starting point is 00:22:23 perhaps sex in a park under a blanket. I mean, again, these are all illegal, but I'm just telling you stuff that I've done. I've had sex like a picnic in a park and a blanket over us and we've kind of done that, but again, you gotta be careful. You could go check into a hotel and you could have sex on the balcony.
Starting point is 00:22:41 You could do it in your car. Like when you get home, you could, you know, have your part or pull you out of the car and like do it in your garage. Like when you get home, you could, you know, have your partner pull you out of the car and like do it in your garage before you get in the house. I mean, yes, it is illegal. You just have to make sure there's no one else around. You know, people have sex when they're hiking or on a trail.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I've had a lot of sex outdoors. I've not been arrested. I think even talking about it with your partner could be really hot. So just know you could always get in trouble, but why don't you just keep on the lookout? You know it might be hot. When you're out with your partner could be really hot. So, just know you could always get in trouble, but why don't you just keep on the lookout? You know what might be hot? When you're out with your partner, you can be like,
Starting point is 00:23:08 oh, I just drove past this place that looks like a great place we could have sex, you know? Maybe you guys start to scout locations in your area and see if you can sort of come up with a place that feels safe enough, but it's still giving you that element of adventure. You know, a lot of you will do it in the public bathroom at a club or a restaurant. Definitely don't do it near a school. Actually, this is reminding me, I once
Starting point is 00:23:31 had a boyfriend in town visiting me in my 20s and we went back to Michigan and I took him to see my high school and we parked in the parking lot and we started filling around and the next thing I know I should have known this, the cops come up, flash their lights, and they're like, what are you doing here? Like, you do not want to have sex or fool around near school. They monitor that stuff, okay? So I did it all so you don't have to.
Starting point is 00:23:55 All right, and another question. I wanted to have a threesome, but I never have before. I think it'd be fun to do with a married couple since there wouldn't be any commitment and the nature of the relationship would be clear. My question is, how to do with a married couple, since there wouldn't be any commitment and the nature of the relationship would be clear. My question is, how do I find a married couple to have sex with? As far as to where to find a third, there's a lot of apps right now. Some of the ones we recommend is Field, F-E-E-L-D, and they actually field specializes in connecting
Starting point is 00:24:21 people who are interested in group sex and kink and they released figures showing that during the pandemic their membership increased by 50% and in 2020 members were more interested than ever in a three-some experience with almost 40% adding it to their desires list so I would check out field I would check out fat life, hashtag open is another one. That's what I recommend for you. And I think there's a lot of couples right now looking for a third. Okay, this is from Caroline 28.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Hey Dr. Emily, I love your show and I've learned so much from listening. I recently moved to a new city and used dating apps to meet people. Went out a few dates, but really enjoyed spending time with one of them in particular. We started sleeping together, but after about seven hangouts, he told me he just wants to be friends with benefits. He was definitely not my soulmate by any means, but I do enjoy his company and the sex is great. But my ego was a little bruised and I'm kind of hurt by him saying that. Any advice
Starting point is 00:25:25 that entering into a FWB situation with someone I was initially saying romantically, or am I setting myself up to be hurt? Okay, Caroline, here's a thing about friends with benefits. They work until they don't. And the best case scenario for friends with Benefits Relationship is when you're actually friends and it's never romantic. You've already, after seven dates, had the vision of this guy being a partner and maybe thinking about how nice it would be to be with him. And now he's told you that he just wants friends with benefits. So I believe that in this particular situation, you're going to have a hard time with it, making it just friends with benefits while you still going to have a hard time with it, making it just friends with benefits
Starting point is 00:26:06 while you still continue to date. I love that he was really honest with you. As far as your ego being bruised and this goes out for you and everybody, please don't take someone's defining the relationship as a rejection on you or your character or something that you've done wrong. We spend so much time trying to figure out why we're rejected and what did I do? And then all of our worst fears about ourselves, you know, we bring to light and say, oh, it must be because I'm,
Starting point is 00:26:30 I don't have a great job or I am too short or I'm too tall or whatever the things we think about. And typically, for a self you'll never know. You'll never know what it is. But you can just bet that it's about them and what they're looking for and not about you. So in this case, I would just think about Caroline.
Starting point is 00:26:47 What are you looking for right now? It sounds to me like you're looking for a relationship. And the other thing about friends with benefits that you actually have feelings for is tricky because I think when you're really into someone, it's hard to get out there and start dating other people when you're hard to someone place. And so you might find yourself getting a little bit comfortable in this situation with this with this guy. So I would say, if you can, I would end this relationship. It was seven dates, probably learned some stuff and to keep moving on. And believe his words, like I think often we go into relationships
Starting point is 00:27:19 thinking that they're going to change, but figuring out what you actually want, like do you want to alarm term relationship? If you do, and maybe it's hard to admit to yourself or maybe you think that you'll be able to change someone or find someone, but if someone tells you they're not looking for anything serious, you have to believe them. But also, I don't want us to make ourself excuses like, oh, maybe this will return into. I'm just going to stick with it long enough and get this person to change their mind.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Oh, I'm just going to, you know, they probably don't really mean it. No, believe me, they mean it. They mean everything. And that's why I want you to go back to what do you actually want, Caroline? There was a recent study by the Kinsey Institute that found that this is post pandemic that more than half of single people between the ages of 18 and 45 said they want to find a committed relationship post-pandemic. So this is just a quote from the report. It says as we emerge in the near future from pandemic restrictions and lockdowns
Starting point is 00:28:17 researchers say it looks like post-pandemic sex will be about taking our time seeking out new relationships and partners and demanding more and better in the relationships we have. Gosh, I sure hope so. I sure hope that after the pandemic, you're realizing that you get to choose who you've been time with, and when you do, I hope you're making those relationships healthier than ever. After the break, I answer question from PL, whose wife got a toy that's bigger than him. Be right back.
Starting point is 00:28:53 This is from PL33 in Ireland. Hey Dr. Emily, I've been married for eight years. Despite some of our sex life, I bought a cock ring and also a dildo, but I'm also slightly feeling and also a dildo, but I'm also slightly feeling low if the dildo is bigger than my dick size. Will my wife still feel like having sex with me as before, please let me know? Yes, I can let you know that she will.
Starting point is 00:29:18 It's just a different experience, a different kind of stimulation. It's something that's going to allow her to experience different sensations that you can't experience with the penis, but not because of your size. Listen, men are way more obsessed with their penis size than their partners.
Starting point is 00:29:35 I'm in all these years, I've never heard anyone tell me that they left their husband and they left a partner for a vibrator or a dildo, but your concerns are totally valid. I understand why you're thinking this. If I were you with your wife, I would talk to her about it. I'm sure she's going to reassure you and tell you it was great, but it's not you, baby. So if we all want intimacy and connection in touch, you're not going to get replaced by
Starting point is 00:29:58 a vibrator. And I love this question because you are not the only one thinking it, but I don't know. I just, I don't think that's the way Volvo owners think. Or not like, oh, well, I've got this bigger thing. Or I'm going to choose this partner because of their penis. I mean, we're just not oriented that way. Where there's so many other things that go into great sex and great relationships. And having a penis of a certain size is not one of them. You're going to be fine. of a certain size is not one of them. You're gonna be fine. This is from Andy, 36 in Colorado.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Hey Dr. Emily, my husband loves to come in my face and does his best to aim, but it occasionally gets in my eye, which stings for a long time. As a result, we don't do this very often. And he is nervous when I tell him we can do this because he doesn't want to hurt me. He produces a much larger than average volume of semen based on what Google tells me is typical. I have no problem with him
Starting point is 00:30:49 calling my face as long as it doesn't get in my eye and I love to please him as he is an incredible lover. I often cover my eyes with my hands right before he comes, but I love a sexy alternative to this idea. Any suggestions? Any suggestions on how to ease the eye page when it does get in there? This is a great question, Andy. I don't know what I've gotten this question, as it does happen and it does sting. You could get some sexy glasses or goggles or a blindfold or some kind of eye production. A lot of people are buying these like blue light blocking glasses right now and they make so many of them in really cool shapes. You could just wear one, you could wear them to bed, you could have it by the nightstand. You can also just turn your head away, but another thing you can do is you can position
Starting point is 00:31:32 yourself so he comes more across from your face. So kind of like his penis is positioned to one side of your face, so it might just hate your mouth or your lips or your cheeks, without risking your eyes. So if you're on your back, he can be kneeling next to you instead of front to you or above you. And if it does get in your eyes, just flush it out, use some eye drops, like you some visein, eye drops, and the pain will go away. You probably know that. But I think this will be some fun, from different positions to play with, and maybe you get
Starting point is 00:32:04 some sexy glasses. It's all fun and games, so I'm going to get shot with semen in the eye. Okay, this is from Desiree. Hey Dr. Amali, my name is Desiree and I've been listening to your podcast for a few months now. I love it. I even sign up for your awesome newsletter. God, I love our new letters.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Have you seen it for a newsletter yet? You should totally shut. It's on our website. All right, here's my situation. I have a pretty good sex life with my partner, but it could be better. For my birthday in October, we went to a sex shop and it was great.
Starting point is 00:32:30 He picked out a few toys and this sexy schoolgirl outfit for me, but I can't bring myself to put on the outfit for him. I've bought it to his house multiple times and even brought it a weekend getaway and still didn't wear it. I've had multiple partners in the past and haven't had any problem trying new things like anal or a video, but when it comes to my current boyfriend, I have like this mental block
Starting point is 00:32:53 from being sexy and I don't know why. I want to wear it and spice up our love life. Can you please help? Also, I've been making all kinds of ridiculous excuses like, I don't know if I was the right shoes or he lives with his parents. How am I going to put it on for him without them seeing it? I'm so lost. Thanks in advance.
Starting point is 00:33:12 All right, Desiree, I've been in the same situation. And I think I understand why it's happening. I literally did the same thing. I had a boyfriend who bought me something once. He's like, why haven't you worn that when you're going to wear it? You haven't worn it yet. And then I would try to wear it, but it didn't go like we were going out at night,
Starting point is 00:33:27 let's say we'd be going out. And then I like put it on, but it didn't ever work underneath my outfits. And then I knew that I was probably in my 20s, so I ended up sleeping at his house, but I did have like an overnight bag at the time or a car, so I was like, and then when he was at my house,
Starting point is 00:33:41 I didn't want to be like, wait a minute, I'll be right back and then come out in the laundry. It just all seemed really silly and staged and cheesy. I never did it. But what's helped me is to actually try on the outfit at home by yourself and get comfortable in it. Look in the mirror, how are you gonna position yourself? What do you know, bring the shoes, try it on,
Starting point is 00:34:01 make it your own. It doesn't have to be just a schoolgirl outfit, right? You could maybe you could even wear half the schoolgirl outfit and jeans, and then when you get to his house, you could put on the skirt. So you're already halfway dressed. But get used to you being the sexy schoolgirl, not in his eyes, not through his gaze, but through your gaze. So then you won't, you'll feel less uncomfortable when it really comes time to being the naughty school girl with your partner. So again, like everything, this is just a skill set. It's trying something new, which I love, but I also know that feeling of like when I'm just gonna do it, I just gotta do it, so practice will help
