- 0:37Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Any time we have a doctor of anything,
- 0:39Speaker 1: I'm trying to take advantage of them. Yeah. We got
- 0:46Speaker 1: Dr Oreo Woe. She's a sex therapist and we're gonna
- 0:52Speaker 1: be talking to her about sex basically, so not to
- 0:57Speaker 1: be confused with a sex x or a sexpert um
- 1:03Speaker 1: from all she says, it's like basically kind of right, yeah, yeah,
- 1:07Speaker 1: but she is also a sexpert yep. So let's get
- 1:12Speaker 1: into a girl because I'm excited to know if I'm
- 1:14Speaker 1: doing it right. And we're live. Hey, Dr Donna Oreo
- 1:27Speaker 1: WHOA is on the show. Everybody, this is we talk
- 1:30Speaker 1: back and it's a j A and Dodger. Donna is
- 1:36Speaker 1: a sex therapist and she's gonna talk to us about
- 1:40Speaker 1: some we got crazy questions for you, especially Agent. So
- 1:46Speaker 1: first we want to congratulate you on your double masters
- 1:51Speaker 1: and your PhD. Girl Round of applause for you since yes,
- 1:59Speaker 1: for real talking to us and our listeners about what
- 2:02Speaker 1: motivated you to get into sex therapy. People kept telling
- 2:06Speaker 1: me their business, like I need to getting in in Yeah,
- 2:11Speaker 1: I'm like, people kept on telling me their business. Um.
- 2:14Speaker 1: And more than that, I felt like sex should not
- 2:17Speaker 1: be a taboo because I'm looking at all the people.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I'm looking like somebody had sex just so you could
- 2:23Speaker 1: be here. Thanks. So I'm just like, but why are
- 2:27Speaker 1: we keeping it a secrets. We celebrate pregnancies, we celebrate births,
- 2:31Speaker 1: but we don't want to talk about what lived to
- 2:33Speaker 1: Those things don't make any sense. I'm a pleasure over here.
- 2:38Speaker 1: So just talking about sex just seemed like a natural,
- 2:44Speaker 1: normal thing, especially as it relates to mental health and
- 2:47Speaker 1: and talking about it with black women in particular, I
- 2:50Speaker 1: have to talk about how color resum and textures and
- 2:52Speaker 1: impact their mental and sexual health. So I got into
- 2:56Speaker 1: it because I feel like I in some ways I
- 2:58Speaker 1: fell into it. Um. I was very much into the
- 3:01Speaker 1: mental health side of things, just wanting people to live
- 3:05Speaker 1: their best life as it were, but integrated. And I
- 3:09Speaker 1: saw Meet the Fockers and I was like, wait, it'sex
- 3:12Speaker 1: therapy real so I went and looked it up and
- 3:15Speaker 1: it was and I was like, well, all right, let
- 3:18Speaker 1: me figure out where I get gonna get some more
- 3:20Speaker 1: this education so that I can be prepared to do
- 3:23Speaker 1: the work that people had already sort of thrust me
- 3:25Speaker 1: and by giving me all they did. So if I said, Okay,
- 3:30Speaker 1: I'm starting up today to have a sex therapy session,
- 3:34Speaker 1: what would like what does that consist of? Because am
- 3:37Speaker 1: I gonna be so awhere like you teach me Bandana
- 3:40Speaker 1: how to suck dick? Or what? What is it like?
- 3:42Speaker 1: What is it look like? Yeah, because I think a
- 3:43Speaker 1: lot of people confuse sex expert with a sex with
- 3:47Speaker 1: sex therapists. I don't think you need any education to
- 3:50Speaker 1: be well, any formal institutionalized education to be a sex expert, right,
- 3:57Speaker 1: versus a sex therapist where you have to get an education, right.
- 4:01Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it runs the gamut um depending on
- 4:05Speaker 1: why you're going to sex therapy in the first place.
- 4:07Speaker 1: So for some folks it's straight sex therapy looks a
- 4:10Speaker 1: lot more like, Okay, we're having some issues around sex
- 4:14Speaker 1: and we are trying to resolve those issues. Um. Sometimes
- 4:17Speaker 1: it's high sex drive, low sex drive. Sometimes it really
- 4:20Speaker 1: is just like mechanics and UM. For that, I end up,
- 4:25Speaker 1: I'll refer out to a sex coach. Okay, I can
- 4:29Speaker 1: teach mechanics, but that's not my lane, and I'm just
- 4:33Speaker 1: like I'm I'm stick to my lane. UM. But for
- 4:38Speaker 1: sex therapy. More times when people think they need sex therapy,
- 4:42Speaker 1: but that's not actually what they need. What they need
- 4:44Speaker 1: is communication therapy because they don't talk to each other well.
- 4:47Speaker 1: So I'm seeing UM, particularly UM couples and those in relationships.
- 4:52Speaker 1: It's more that they've had so many communication mishaps that
- 4:55Speaker 1: they can't even communicate about sex anymore. There's a lot
- 4:58Speaker 1: of pressure on it. They don't know how to engage
- 5:02Speaker 1: intimately with one another outside of sex. So it's sort
- 5:06Speaker 1: of rebuilding bridges and rebuilding trust and getting them back
- 5:10Speaker 1: into a space where they feel like they can have
- 5:12Speaker 1: the sex life that they want. UM. Where it comes
- 5:16Speaker 1: to the mechanics of it all. I mean, most of
- 5:20Speaker 1: my clients don't get to the mechanics because let me
- 5:23Speaker 1: tell you that they already know how to have sex
- 5:26Speaker 1: that's pleasurable and great and all that for them, but
- 5:30Speaker 1: it's it's not pleasurable because they don't know how to talk.
- 5:33Speaker 1: So once we get past the communication barriers and then
- 5:36Speaker 1: well I don't really want to have sex with you
- 5:38Speaker 1: because I don't like you no more type of stuff.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Once we get past that, um, they don't actually need
- 5:44Speaker 1: the mechanics talk. But if it does come down to mechanics,
- 5:47Speaker 1: because I do deal in some virgins as well, they
- 5:50Speaker 1: come on in a sex therapy to um, then we
- 5:53Speaker 1: might be learning like, Okay, how do you suck that,
- 5:56Speaker 1: how do you ride there? How do you do all
- 5:59Speaker 1: of the things, and that's watch this video over here,
- 6:05Speaker 1: and then we'll come back and we'll talk about it.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Because usually there's other feelings that come up when they're
- 6:10Speaker 1: even learning that stuff because they're like, oh, well, now
- 6:13Speaker 1: I feel badly because you know, I was raised Christian,
- 6:16Speaker 1: or I was raised this, I was raised that, and
- 6:19Speaker 1: it goes against what I was told I'm supposed to
- 6:22Speaker 1: do or what I feel like I should be allowed
- 6:24Speaker 1: to do. So now we're having a completely different discussion.
- 6:27Speaker 1: It ends up being about how we think and feel
- 6:30Speaker 1: about sex more than the act of sex itself. But yeah,
- 6:34Speaker 1: I'm not like I'm for people to ask good y'all
- 6:36Speaker 1: the time, goody god glasses classes videology. So all right,
- 6:46Speaker 1: I had this boyfriend one time and it didn't last long.
- 6:48Speaker 1: And you tell me, did we need a sex therapist
- 6:51Speaker 1: or a sex expert or both? So we had we
- 6:55Speaker 1: were very we got among really well everything, Like we
- 6:58Speaker 1: walk in the door and be pasted, giving me out
- 7:01Speaker 1: of my clothes. We're just kissing, falling all over the
- 7:03Speaker 1: wall and ship. And as soon as we started having sex,
- 7:07Speaker 1: I mean, it's over in two minutes. I mean maybe
- 7:10Speaker 1: not even two minutes. I mean it's over fast. And
- 7:13Speaker 1: I you know, I know my pussy is really good.
- 7:16Speaker 1: So I just got it at first, like oh, maybe
- 7:18Speaker 1: he just needs to get used to this magic, this
- 7:20Speaker 1: sunshine I got. So we had sex three different times
- 7:24Speaker 1: and it was the same thing every time. So I'm like,
- 7:27Speaker 1: all right, this is a problem because I'm not being
- 7:30Speaker 1: please here. You know, the four play is amazing, but
- 7:32Speaker 1: the sex is just too short. So I sat him
- 7:35Speaker 1: down and I said to him, like, all right, this
- 7:39Speaker 1: is gonna be an uncomfortable conversation for both of us,
- 7:42Speaker 1: but I need to say these things to you because
- 7:44Speaker 1: I care about you and I really like you. And
- 7:48Speaker 1: I was like, before you get done, I'm just getting started.
- 7:53Speaker 1: I mean, once you're done, I'm just getting started, like
- 7:55Speaker 1: you come too fast. So he got up from the couch,
- 8:00Speaker 1: walk to the kitchen, pour himself a glass of water.
- 8:02Speaker 1: He didn't say. Now we're just sitting there in silence.
- 8:05Speaker 1: I didn't say a word. And then he took a
- 8:08Speaker 1: civil water and he said, I ain't never had a
- 8:10Speaker 1: beach say no ship like that to me before. That
- 8:13Speaker 1: was his response, and got his keys and walked down.
- 8:16Speaker 1: He was so embarrassed. I go with before the fall. Um,
- 8:23Speaker 1: for me, that's sex therapy. That's sex therapy, not sex expert. Right. Well,
- 8:31Speaker 1: I mean I'm still a sexpert, right and anyone who
- 8:33Speaker 1: is a sex therapist is a sexpert. So it's not um,
- 8:36Speaker 1: it's not a one or the other in that way. Um.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Could he may have review some coaching more than likely, yes, Um,
- 8:45Speaker 1: but some of that would be sex therapy. Some of
- 8:48Speaker 1: that falls under sex therapy period. So Number one, like,
- 8:52Speaker 1: what does he think he knows about sex and sexuality?
- 8:55Speaker 1: How does he talk about sex and sexuality? Clearly not
- 8:57Speaker 1: very well. If having someone gently give him feedback hurts
- 9:02Speaker 1: that much, that looking like that the first time he
- 9:04Speaker 1: heard it, He's fine, Yeah, and do we blame. Do
- 9:09Speaker 1: we blame him, or do we blame or do we
- 9:11Speaker 1: blame tam for being honest? Or do we blame the
- 9:14Speaker 1: women prior to her that just let him go on
- 9:16Speaker 1: thinking he was knocking to bottom out that pussy like
- 9:19Speaker 1: and you ain't doing nothing like I'm so pro pleasure
- 9:24Speaker 1: that I'm not We're not faking work. I'm thinking for
- 9:27Speaker 1: years this I was sorry, says but that stuff should
- 9:31Speaker 1: have been less than two thousand nine. Do you think
- 9:35Speaker 1: that thousand nine? It should not be a thing of
- 9:38Speaker 1: now faking it? Lying you are setting the next woman
- 9:41Speaker 1: up for additional work or the next person up traditional work,
- 9:45Speaker 1: because now they gotta be like, look, your sex is
- 9:48Speaker 1: actually whack. It's like wiggedy wiggedy whack um. And I
- 9:53Speaker 1: think that you can learn. But whoever told you that
- 9:57Speaker 1: your dick, your dick slanging skills was the best things
- 10:00Speaker 1: since slice reread lies? Who ever told you your head
- 10:04Speaker 1: game was amazing? Lie? And you know what, maybe they
- 10:09Speaker 1: told the truth for them, but they're not telling the
- 10:11Speaker 1: truth for me. For me, this does not work for
- 10:14Speaker 1: my body. This is what my body needs. And I
- 10:17Speaker 1: think that some of it is just learning. Number one
- 10:19Speaker 1: that we have body diversity, and then in that body diversity,
- 10:23Speaker 1: different things still good for different people. So what you
- 10:26Speaker 1: did for your last job not gonna work for this one,
- 10:29Speaker 1: and you have to be okay with that. So you
- 10:32Speaker 1: have to you have to know that this is like
- 10:34Speaker 1: a job when you go from one time and working
- 10:41Speaker 1: like so you're a bank teller over at at Chase,
- 10:44Speaker 1: and now you want to go be a bank teller
- 10:45Speaker 1: at Bank of America. The way that Bank of America
- 10:47Speaker 1: does things might be different from the Chase, which means
- 10:50Speaker 1: that it is your job. Yes, you have some skills
- 10:52Speaker 1: and bank tell us stuff, but some of those things
- 10:55Speaker 1: will be transferable, but you still have to learn the
- 10:58Speaker 1: lay of the land that you're at into. People don't
- 11:01Speaker 1: want to learn the lay in the land. Instead they
- 11:03Speaker 1: have been taught that I have to know how to
- 11:06Speaker 1: have sex, and that would be enough for anybody that
- 11:09Speaker 1: I have sex with, as opposed to thinking how I
- 11:12Speaker 1: have sex might have to change based on what is
- 11:15Speaker 1: that I'm with and what actually feels good for There
- 11:19Speaker 1: so many yeah, like men, make sure your woman tells
- 11:25Speaker 1: you it's good. Don't just assume it isn't until I
- 11:27Speaker 1: tell you it's good. Just assume as not THAT'SI do
- 11:32Speaker 1: you think. I feel like women orgasm is like a
- 11:34Speaker 1: new world. It's like a new thing because I'd like
- 11:38Speaker 1: to think that if women didn't have the right to vote,
- 11:40Speaker 1: they didn't have the right to even talk. At some
- 11:43Speaker 1: point where men ever really that concerned about a woman
- 11:46Speaker 1: coming back then, I want to say it's seven years ago. Okay, now,
- 11:51Speaker 1: seven years ago. But there definitely was a time where, um,
- 11:55Speaker 1: there there was a belief that you could only make
- 11:58Speaker 1: a child if a woman workasm. There was their belief,
- 12:03Speaker 1: so they would work hard to make sure that orgasms happen. Um,
- 12:08Speaker 1: there was a time where they called it um they
- 12:11Speaker 1: said like women had hysteria, and to hysteria, you give
- 12:15Speaker 1: a woman an orgasm. Right now, I'll be like, that's
- 12:22Speaker 1: hysterias back again, come on, help me out, let me,
- 12:26Speaker 1: let me not thinking about sex and sexuality in that way.
- 12:33Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, there was a time where it was
- 12:36Speaker 1: very focused on a woman's orgasm. But somewhere along the way,
- 12:40Speaker 1: patriarchy really did a beautiful number where it's just like,
- 12:44Speaker 1: well I got mine, you should have got yours. Number one,
- 12:46Speaker 1: So we're moving it more into a selfish space where
- 12:50Speaker 1: it's like, well, if I have an orgasm and you
- 12:53Speaker 1: did it, that's your fault. Um, So it's not being
- 12:57Speaker 1: about mutual pleasure. It's started being about let let me
- 13:00Speaker 1: get what I can get and fuck you. So when
- 13:03Speaker 1: you move into that space, it's like, well damn. Now.
- 13:06Speaker 1: That's not to say that everyone is not responsible for
- 13:08Speaker 1: their orgasms, because I still believe that to be true
- 13:11Speaker 1: as well. I'm like, you have a responsibility of what
- 13:15Speaker 1: you need for your body, to communicate it and to
- 13:17Speaker 1: make sure that you get some as well. But if
- 13:21Speaker 1: your partner is unwilling to sort of meet you where
- 13:25Speaker 1: you are, is unwilling to change up what they're doing
- 13:29Speaker 1: so that you can also experience pleasure. Number one, why
- 13:32Speaker 1: did you choose this back as person? And number you know,
- 13:37Speaker 1: number three and five let them go. Let that, let
- 13:42Speaker 1: our person go. Like they're not ready. They don't want
- 13:47Speaker 1: to actually engage insects with you. They're having sexts to you,
- 13:51Speaker 1: and that's not the same thing. So okay. So one
- 13:55Speaker 1: of the things I wanted to talk about I saw
- 13:57Speaker 1: one of your videos on YouTube. You were talking about
- 14:00Speaker 1: how to communicate with your partner about what you would
- 14:03Speaker 1: like with sex. So my guy communicated that he wanted
- 14:08Speaker 1: to exaculate in my mouth, bust in her mouth every time,
- 14:15Speaker 1: every time. Like so he's like, you know, he wants
- 14:17Speaker 1: to finish that way, and I don't like that. I'm
- 14:20Speaker 1: not saying that I wouldn't do it. I'm not saying
- 14:21Speaker 1: that I haven't done it, but to me, like, that's
- 14:23Speaker 1: something Valentine's Day birthday type ship. You're not just about
- 14:26Speaker 1: to be slapping me out like you're watching point like
- 14:28Speaker 1: it's some porn. You know what I'm saying. I like nasty,
- 14:31Speaker 1: nasty sex. But at the same time, like, no, every time,
- 14:33Speaker 1: I don't like that. Right, So he made a comment
- 14:36Speaker 1: once and he was like, well, if you don't let
- 14:37Speaker 1: me do it, um no, he said, uh, how a
- 14:41Speaker 1: woman can't become a girlfriend or a wife without doing that.
- 14:45Speaker 1: That's kind of manipulation a little bit. So I'm like, well,
- 14:49Speaker 1: I guess I won't be exactly I won't be girlfriend
- 14:53Speaker 1: or wife then, but you end up being pretty much
- 14:56Speaker 1: both exactly right, But how how do Because my thing
- 15:01Speaker 1: is why do you want to do that? Why do
- 15:04Speaker 1: you want if I'm already giving you all ahead in
- 15:06Speaker 1: the world, why do you then have to take it
- 15:09Speaker 1: up a notch or try and push the envelope. Is
- 15:11Speaker 1: it because it really feels good? Or is it because
- 15:14Speaker 1: you're now trying to make me do something that I
- 15:16Speaker 1: just don't want to do. So you're like, you know,
- 15:18Speaker 1: trying to force me to do something I really don't like.
- 15:21Speaker 1: And if it's pleasurable for you and it's not pleasurable
- 15:24Speaker 1: for me, why do you want to do it? Mm hmm.
- 15:28Speaker 1: So different people find different things to be pleasurable. Um,
- 15:33Speaker 1: I'm all about you know, not knocking somebody else's so
- 15:36Speaker 1: don't yuck someone else's young. For them, that is a
- 15:39Speaker 1: yummy ass thing to do. Like this makes like, oh,
- 15:41Speaker 1: it makes me feel good. It feels so great. It
- 15:43Speaker 1: feels it feels like it feels like love, It feels
- 15:46Speaker 1: like heads and gets and all that stuff. It feels
- 15:49Speaker 1: like Valentine's Day every day. So for them it may
- 15:51Speaker 1: feel like that. But if for you the thing does
- 15:53Speaker 1: not feel like that, that means that you should not
- 15:56Speaker 1: necessarily go expending your consent in that direction. If for
- 15:59Speaker 1: you more but I'll do this every now and then,
- 16:02Speaker 1: but I can't commit to this all the time sort
- 16:04Speaker 1: of thing, then that is the way that you do it.
- 16:06Speaker 1: But if they can't respect your decision to say no,
- 16:10Speaker 1: for me, that is a red ass flag. If you're
- 16:13Speaker 1: if you're like, look, I am not into this thing
- 16:15Speaker 1: that you are into, and you are in a space
- 16:18Speaker 1: now where you are not accepting that you do not
- 16:20Speaker 1: have consent, that is a problem for me. Well, it's
- 16:24Speaker 1: not like worsting or manipulating or controlling or constantly being
- 16:30Speaker 1: like do it, do it, do it? Do it you.
- 16:31Speaker 1: If you loved me, you would do it. Um, if
- 16:34Speaker 1: you wanted me to marry you, you would do it.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Because those are forms of manipulation. Now he can make
- 16:39Speaker 1: a decision for himself. If he's saying that that is
- 16:41Speaker 1: a boundary that he will marry somebody who does not
- 16:44Speaker 1: swallow or you know who won't catch them kids even
- 16:49Speaker 1: if not swallow, um, then he gets to make that
- 16:55Speaker 1: decision for himself. For him, that could be the line
- 16:57Speaker 1: in the sand. But people tend to do it's trying
- 17:00Speaker 1: to draw boundaries against other people's guarding. I'm looking like, no,
- 17:04Speaker 1: your boundaries are for you. Your boundaries are not for others.
- 17:07Speaker 1: So saying like, well, then you can't be over here
- 17:09Speaker 1: if you won't do this I'm like, this is what
- 17:12Speaker 1: I need. I see that you are unable to meet
- 17:15Speaker 1: my need, but but we are not actolutely compatible. I
- 17:19Speaker 1: hope that it's okay that we aren't waiting at this time. Yeah,
- 17:23Speaker 1: because we would have a good sex and all that.
- 17:25Speaker 1: So it is, that's just the one other thing. And yeah,
- 17:29Speaker 1: I don't think that anybody should if that's your boundary
- 17:32Speaker 1: and you're not saying no, you can't do this, I'll
- 17:34Speaker 1: do it every once in a while. I don't think
- 17:35Speaker 1: it's something that should happen all the time just because
- 17:37Speaker 1: you say so. Absolutely nothing. I'm like, what works like
- 17:41Speaker 1: that other than right? And look, you put some money,
- 17:46Speaker 1: if you're a monetary value behind it. Now, maybe you
- 17:49Speaker 1: can pay me to do it. I don't know, right,
- 17:58Speaker 1: but is it. I'm looking like people already in a
- 18:03Speaker 1: lot of ways paying the play, but we are asking
- 18:06Speaker 1: people for emotional commitments to go with the sex. Trade
- 18:10Speaker 1: you sex for some emotional commitment. I'll trade you this
- 18:14Speaker 1: for that. I'm looking like, look, at the end of
- 18:15Speaker 1: the day, everybody's selling something to somebody for something, right,
- 18:19Speaker 1: and nothing wrong with that. It's about making sure that
- 18:22Speaker 1: your needs are met and their needs are also being met.
- 18:24Speaker 1: We're talking about just being in the space of mutual
- 18:28Speaker 1: um respect as well as some level of reciprosity. Everybody
- 18:32Speaker 1: is looking for something. It's not about like, oh, you
- 18:35Speaker 1: hold yourself out. I mean, I mean technically you do
- 18:38Speaker 1: that at work. You sell your body so that you
- 18:41Speaker 1: can make money. I mean, and I'm talking about this
- 18:44Speaker 1: jealous Miss Olivant already tell us us we listen to
- 18:47Speaker 1: hotels right, Oh, how else out? But Mama, like, we
- 18:52Speaker 1: already know everybody's doing something for something period. Hold on,
- 18:58Speaker 1: before we get into anything else, Let's pay some bills
- 19:00Speaker 1: real quick. So on our show, we had conversations about
- 19:08Speaker 1: open marriages and polygamy, like what's your thoughts on the
- 19:11Speaker 1: that polyamory, polygamy? However, this if someone wants to live
- 19:16Speaker 1: their life, it's not really my business. That's one. That's
- 19:19Speaker 1: what I believe. I believe that you should actually live
- 19:21Speaker 1: your best life, and I have found it some of
- 19:24Speaker 1: the most stable relationships that I see in therapy and
- 19:27Speaker 1: that I see from you know, some of the folks
- 19:29Speaker 1: that I wrock with are actually made up for three
- 19:31Speaker 1: individuals or more so. They have they You have to
- 19:35Speaker 1: have communication with your partner um none of that. Well,
- 19:39Speaker 1: you shouldn't know none of that stuff. It's actually I
- 19:42Speaker 1: talk about the things that I need in my relationship
- 19:45Speaker 1: and I have my knees met. It also means that
- 19:47Speaker 1: you know when you're with somebody and they have a
- 19:50Speaker 1: whole different set of sex acts that they want to do,
- 19:52Speaker 1: but you're like, oh, hell no, your third person, that
- 19:55Speaker 1: person might be the one to be like yes everybody,
- 19:59Speaker 1: but he didn't get someth do you come in exactly?
- 20:02Speaker 1: Because it's just like you, we I think oftentimes we
- 20:07Speaker 1: think that everybody, whoever that we're with, whoever our romantic
- 20:10Speaker 1: partner is, should meet every single need that we have.
- 20:13Speaker 1: Is unrealistic. It's not going to happen. Just like you
- 20:17Speaker 1: don't hear everything you need from one friend, you have
- 20:20Speaker 1: a bunch of different friends, right You're like, oh, well,
- 20:21Speaker 1: this one I can talk to about this type of
- 20:23Speaker 1: stuff because she's more resective. This one I could talk
- 20:25Speaker 1: to about this stuff because he's more he's more cool
- 20:28Speaker 1: with that, And this one I could talk about this
- 20:30Speaker 1: because this is the thing, this is bair line. You
- 20:33Speaker 1: can't talk about everything with everybody, So why do you
- 20:35Speaker 1: expect your partner to now be the end all be
- 20:37Speaker 1: all for everything possibly needs in a relationship. If we
- 20:42Speaker 1: take up if we take romantic relationships off the damn
- 20:45Speaker 1: pedi school because they do not belong up there, and
- 20:48Speaker 1: put them in par with the other friendships and other
- 20:51Speaker 1: types of relationships that we have, we will see that
- 20:53Speaker 1: we are just meeting various needs that we have with
- 20:57Speaker 1: various people. M hm uh. If we do the same
- 21:00Speaker 1: thing within romantic spaces, we can have all of our
- 21:04Speaker 1: needs met. So I think that it is very traditional
- 21:08Speaker 1: in a sense, very Christian traditional to say one man,
- 21:11Speaker 1: one woman in particular. But I'm like, if let's stop
- 21:15Speaker 1: what you're rocking with, that's not what you're rocking with.
- 21:17Speaker 1: So for some people it's very realistic. I think that
- 21:20Speaker 1: that's but you, I'm rocking with what I rock with.
- 21:27Speaker 1: I saw you not gry. I was trying to get
- 21:30Speaker 1: dig in there. I am about to get married. Congratulations
- 21:34Speaker 1: to you, thank you, thank you. Um. But for me
- 21:39Speaker 1: and the thing, that's that's uh, you know, spacebook, we
- 21:42Speaker 1: we navigate what it is that we are wanting in
- 21:45Speaker 1: our relationships in a lot of ways. Some people would
- 21:47Speaker 1: say that we're not traditional couple, um, just because of
- 21:50Speaker 1: like earnings and who has more time, who, who's doing this,
- 21:56Speaker 1: who's doing that. Some people will say that he would
- 21:58Speaker 1: he was in a wrong space to a woman who
- 22:00Speaker 1: doesn't want to have children. I am that woman. I
- 22:03Speaker 1: don't want to have children. Um, maybe I'll changed my mind,
- 22:06Speaker 1: maybe I want, but in this head moment, no, I'm
- 22:10Speaker 1: quite all right on that. So, I mean, this is
- 22:13Speaker 1: us cultivating the life that we want, and as a
- 22:16Speaker 1: therapist my job, I'm just like, well, what kind of
- 22:19Speaker 1: life do you actually want to have? Clients are now
- 22:23Speaker 1: they are planning more around with like the idea of
- 22:26Speaker 1: opening up relationships. They are um even exploring their own
- 22:31Speaker 1: sexuality because so many people, I mean a lot of
- 22:33Speaker 1: us were brought up in you gotta be straight type
- 22:36Speaker 1: rhetoric and I'm not straight. I'm like, yes, I'm I'm
- 22:40Speaker 1: with a I'm with a dude, but that doesn't change
- 22:43Speaker 1: my identity from from being what I am to just
- 22:48Speaker 1: because he's a dude. I don't. I'm just like, how
- 22:50Speaker 1: did that work? I'm looking like, what's next? Transmucial I'm
- 22:53Speaker 1: not so. I'm just I think that in building the
- 22:57Speaker 1: life that you want to have for yourself, you have
- 23:00Speaker 1: to be number one, cognizant of who you are and
- 23:03Speaker 1: be willing to question that every day. What we know
- 23:07Speaker 1: about ourselves right now, in this moment is going to change,
- 23:09Speaker 1: right every time you learn something, every time you have
- 23:12Speaker 1: a new hypocrite, somebody seeds or something you know, it
- 23:16Speaker 1: takes plans, you start thinking about it, you want to
- 23:19Speaker 1: learn more about it, and then you in your mind.
- 23:22Speaker 1: And that's why I mean, if you're even gonna be
- 23:25Speaker 1: in a relationship, being able to grow together as part
- 23:28Speaker 1: of it. And I think that people forget the part
- 23:30Speaker 1: where you grow and sometimes that growth may grow apart um,
- 23:34Speaker 1: sometimes you grow closer together. But being able to determine
- 23:39Speaker 1: um for yourself where it is that you want to go.
- 23:41Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything wrong with that. So I am.
- 23:45Speaker 1: I am open for people who are Polly, I am.
- 23:48Speaker 1: I'm down to people who are who are not. I'm like,
- 23:51Speaker 1: if you want to be monogymous, great, If you're not
- 23:53Speaker 1: a monogonmous, also great. It's really about you doing what's
- 23:57Speaker 1: best for you in your relationship. Absolutely agree. So let
- 24:02Speaker 1: me ask you this because I masturbate a lot, because
- 24:04Speaker 1: I don't have like a regular like. I don't have
- 24:07Speaker 1: a consistent sex partner right now in my life, So
- 24:10Speaker 1: I masturbate a lot. Am I fucking up my clitter? Is?
- 24:13Speaker 1: When I do have a man, You gotta your own stuf.
- 24:21Speaker 1: But I just like I used like toys and stuff
- 24:24Speaker 1: like that, and I just concerned that like I'm like
- 24:28Speaker 1: sucking my clitter is up desensitizing it. Yeah, but a
- 24:34Speaker 1: lot of people think that right. Um, So really it's
- 24:39Speaker 1: just like number one, Yes, can you temporarily numb the area, Yeah,
- 24:44Speaker 1: but it'll also bounce back. So if it's like, oh
- 24:47Speaker 1: I can't feel anything, then maybe lay off of it
- 24:50Speaker 1: for a couple of days and it'll come right back
- 24:53Speaker 1: and everything will be good all over again. Um. But
- 24:56Speaker 1: the idea that you can over masturbate or that you
- 24:59Speaker 1: can desensitize clutter is that's definitely just built in in live.
- 25:03Speaker 1: I've been wondering where people like yo men make it up. Yeah,
- 25:11Speaker 1: because if you can make yourself or a gas some
- 25:13Speaker 1: harder than they cans and maybe they start feeling from
- 25:16Speaker 1: type of back exactly, That's why they'd be hating on
- 25:18Speaker 1: vibrators and ship who's got time to hate gonna vibrate?
- 25:23Speaker 1: As they out there to help you, Yeah, packing and
- 25:27Speaker 1: bring it to your house. Suck on my titties while
- 25:29Speaker 1: I do this, Thank you. Littlemutual masturbation tis the month
- 25:35Speaker 1: for it all I do it. I have a considers
- 25:41Speaker 1: like her husband masturbating as cheating? Really is that? I
- 25:50Speaker 1: don't see it as cheating? Do you see it as
- 25:52Speaker 1: I guess it's just it depends on the parameters of
- 25:55Speaker 1: your marriage. Yeah, but it definitely depends on the parameters
- 25:59Speaker 1: of your own relations and ship. I would I would
- 26:01Speaker 1: urge them to think about why why do you see
- 26:05Speaker 1: your partner touching their own body as a form of cheating?
- 26:09Speaker 1: What about it feels threatening to you? Um. I've even
- 26:13Speaker 1: done a couple of videos on this on my Instagram. UM,
- 26:16Speaker 1: because I talked about this type of stuff every May.
- 26:18Speaker 1: When I started talking about masturbation, May somebody slides into
- 26:21Speaker 1: my d NS and then just like, is it cheating
- 26:24Speaker 1: if I masturbate? And I'm just like, I don't know.
- 26:26Speaker 1: You gotta tell me what your relationship. Maybe he feels
- 26:29Speaker 1: that way because if he's not sucking her and then
- 26:31Speaker 1: you're in the bathroom every Tuesday or every day at
- 26:34Speaker 1: six o'clock being your dick and you're not sucking me.
- 26:37Speaker 1: That's that's the problem. If I am warning and willing
- 26:40Speaker 1: to have sex with you, but you'd rather please yourself,
- 26:45Speaker 1: that's a sex therapist issue, right to come. It very
- 26:48Speaker 1: well could be a sex therapist issue. I have seen
- 26:51Speaker 1: that issue come up for me. I'm more like I
- 26:54Speaker 1: think that Number One, you should be able to masturbate
- 26:56Speaker 1: to your heart's content, because sometimes masturbation is not necessarily
- 26:59Speaker 1: about the thing that we think is about, right, So
- 27:02Speaker 1: it's not always about the sexual piece of it. Sometimes
- 27:05Speaker 1: it's just I need pleasure. Sometimes it's just I need
- 27:07Speaker 1: a relief. Sometimes it's more about your mental health than
- 27:11Speaker 1: it is about the physical need. Right, So you should
- 27:15Speaker 1: be able to do the things that work best for
- 27:18Speaker 1: you for your mental health and for your general well being.
- 27:21Speaker 1: And for some people, masturbation is it and it's also
- 27:24Speaker 1: mental health Awareness month. So to me, it is it,
- 27:27Speaker 1: and I'm looking like it really is. It just runs
- 27:29Speaker 1: the gam But if you're feeling like you're not getting
- 27:32Speaker 1: the sex that you want, but your partner is is
- 27:35Speaker 1: masturbating and you are not included, number one, that's a
- 27:38Speaker 1: conversation to be had. See if you can insert yourself
- 27:41Speaker 1: into their massurbatory practices like, hey, can I join you?
- 27:44Speaker 1: Can I watch? Um? Can? Can I set the citties
- 27:48Speaker 1: while you do that? You cannot unrest you while you
- 27:51Speaker 1: do that? UMM? Being able to just bring each other together,
- 27:56Speaker 1: like can't we masturbate together a little mutual mask? Can
- 27:58Speaker 1: I masturbate you? Like? Let me let let me get
- 28:02Speaker 1: involved in the massurbatory practice here. That is one way
- 28:05Speaker 1: to sort of see if you can bridge the gap. UM.
- 28:08Speaker 1: And I could be wondering what's going on in your
- 28:10Speaker 1: relationship that your partner does not want to have sex
- 28:12Speaker 1: with you, So you're worried about the self. So I'm
- 28:14Speaker 1: looking like I'm worried about what else is going on
- 28:16Speaker 1: in your relationship. So so then that's right. So that's
- 28:20Speaker 1: my thing. Say something is wrong, but something could be
- 28:23Speaker 1: wrong and you are completely unaware of it. Yeah, So
- 28:26Speaker 1: for me, intimacy and I think for a lot of women,
- 28:29Speaker 1: intimacy starts in the mind, like I want you to
- 28:31Speaker 1: love on me all day long, not just right before
- 28:34Speaker 1: you want to me when we get into bed at night.
- 28:36Speaker 1: So we're constantly having disagreements, We're constantly arguing, and I
- 28:40Speaker 1: feel like being in love is a state of mind.
- 28:42Speaker 1: So you have to do things to continuously keep falling
- 28:45Speaker 1: in love what you made, because it's easy to fall
- 28:48Speaker 1: out of love and then you can fall back in
- 28:50Speaker 1: love with that same person or you might go outside
- 28:52Speaker 1: the relationship. Right, So we're constantly arguing and you still
- 28:56Speaker 1: want sex even after argument. Sometimes men they don't care
- 29:00Speaker 1: like they can be. I have to be happy to
- 29:02Speaker 1: have sex. So we're constantly arguing that I'm mad, I
- 29:05Speaker 1: don't want to have sex, don't touch me, and no,
- 29:08Speaker 1: we're not right now physically in an argument, but I'm
- 29:10Speaker 1: still pissed. And if you I don't want you to
- 29:12Speaker 1: touch me, and if I let you do it, it's
- 29:14Speaker 1: kind of rapey because I didn't want to do it
- 29:16Speaker 1: in the first place. Now I'm just doing something because
- 29:18Speaker 1: you want to do it, because I don't want my
- 29:20Speaker 1: man to go to someone else for it. But I'm pissed.
- 29:23Speaker 1: At the same time, I like, let's RhE um. If
- 29:34Speaker 1: you won't do with somebody else, will I'm just going
- 29:36Speaker 1: to go. You can go and you don't want don't
- 29:42Speaker 1: get the rest of your relationship from them while you
- 29:44Speaker 1: at it. Good Bye, pretty much, don't come back and talk.
- 29:49Speaker 1: You see tam she thinks it's cool and start arguments
- 29:55Speaker 1: so she can have makeup sex. I don't like that.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Ship don't still argument with me because you wanna be
- 30:00Speaker 1: sucking yourself for a month later. You gotta tell my
- 30:03Speaker 1: bus Toxiana. That's why tell sex therapist dr. Sometimes I
- 30:12Speaker 1: might might start a little friction just so we can
- 30:17Speaker 1: have that kind of like forceful angry sex two times
- 30:23Speaker 1: just won't play. I feel like it's not real. The
- 30:29Speaker 1: anger ain't real. If it works for you and your partner,
- 30:36Speaker 1: it well, I guess it didn't because me and the
- 30:39Speaker 1: nigga ain't together no more so I guess it didn't work.
- 30:45Speaker 1: But anyway, back to what you were saying, like um
- 30:48Speaker 1: about like you know, wanting different types of intimacy. This
- 30:51Speaker 1: book Write You Use Your Mouth by Shamira Howard Um.
- 30:57Speaker 1: This book is, uh, it's amazing thing. You know, like
- 31:01Speaker 1: it's small, it's pocket sized for your convenience, but it
- 31:05Speaker 1: talks about seven different types of intimacy and it ends
- 31:08Speaker 1: with sexual intimacy because for a lot of people, yeah,
- 31:12Speaker 1: they do need those other pieces in order to feel
- 31:14Speaker 1: like they can have the type of set that feels
- 31:16Speaker 1: good and connected for them. And you write some people
- 31:20Speaker 1: be like, um, we are not on the same page.
- 31:23Speaker 1: You can keep your hands off my body. My body
- 31:25Speaker 1: is mine. I'm not willing to share this. And then look,
- 31:28Speaker 1: you all gotta do nothing just later, like how is
- 31:30Speaker 1: that pleasurable for me? Like, first of all, you don't
- 31:33Speaker 1: know how it feels to be penetrating, right, and then
- 31:35Speaker 1: on top of me not even liking you right now?
- 31:39Speaker 1: Hell like you will say any dagoning thing like so
- 31:46Speaker 1: you want to masturbate but with my body right and
- 31:50Speaker 1: to me like sex me interested in my participation and
- 31:53Speaker 1: you're just interested in getting a nut. You could have
- 31:55Speaker 1: done that with some note, with some lotion in your hands. Awesome,
- 32:00Speaker 1: You can do it as many times as you like it.
- 32:01Speaker 1: You don't have to involve me. You can go pocket pussy. Um,
- 32:06Speaker 1: don't get yourself whatever toy it is that you need
- 32:08Speaker 1: so that you can have some enjoyment. But right now
- 32:10Speaker 1: my body is off, you have and if you be
- 32:14Speaker 1: okay with that, like I said, I'm all about get
- 32:17Speaker 1: the hell on. I brought my pocket pussy one time
- 32:20Speaker 1: for real, Like, I bought him one because he was military,
- 32:23Speaker 1: he was deployed, so I sent it in the care
- 32:25Speaker 1: package with some deritos and ship the military girl. Them
- 32:34Speaker 1: girls be a broad selling pussy. The few women hold on.
- 32:44Speaker 1: Before we get into anything else, let's pay some bills
- 32:46Speaker 1: real quick, all right, So let's get into colorism and texturism. Um,
- 32:56Speaker 1: you wrote a book Cocoa Butter and Hair Grease and
- 32:59Speaker 1: Self Love Ready through here in skin tell us about
- 33:02Speaker 1: the book and what prompted you to create it. Um.
- 33:06Speaker 1: The book is a work book. It's a twelve week
- 33:09Speaker 1: plus work book. UM, really to get you thinking about
- 33:14Speaker 1: your skin tone, your hair texture, the messages that you've
- 33:16Speaker 1: received about them, and how those messages impact you at work,
- 33:20Speaker 1: with your family, with lovers, and sort of breaking out
- 33:25Speaker 1: of what those messages versa that you can replace some
- 33:27Speaker 1: of these messages that feel better and more affirming for you. UM.
- 33:32Speaker 1: And of course that has a really dope feeling shart
- 33:34Speaker 1: in it. UM. Had that don't created because you don't
- 33:38Speaker 1: find a feeling shart with black folks is difficult. So
- 33:41Speaker 1: then we also decided we're just gonna put some black
- 33:43Speaker 1: ass feelings in it, like, oh, I'm feeling myself. I
- 33:46Speaker 1: wish a bitch would is it is? And my thing? Um,
- 33:54Speaker 1: And the funk is also in there, like the funk.
- 33:59Speaker 1: It's all on any notion the way I see it.
- 34:03Speaker 1: But it was it was. It was created because um,
- 34:09Speaker 1: there's there's a couple of clients in particular that ended
- 34:12Speaker 1: up being like a lot of the basis for it.
- 34:14Speaker 1: So before it was just a bunch of little sheets
- 34:16Speaker 1: and homeworks that I gave them. And I told somebody
- 34:20Speaker 1: that I had created a bunch of worksheets and things
- 34:22Speaker 1: and they were like, you should put it in a book,
- 34:23Speaker 1: and I said he and I had the whole thing
- 34:26Speaker 1: basically outlined and mapped out in my in my Google drive.
- 34:30Speaker 1: And somebody was like, yeah, she's writing a book. And
- 34:32Speaker 1: I was like, what She's not told everybody I'm looking
- 34:36Speaker 1: like it ended up on therapy for Black girls that
- 34:38Speaker 1: I'm writing a book. I was like, I wasn't good.
- 34:41Speaker 1: I guess I really now I gonna right. So I
- 34:46Speaker 1: had the worksheets translated and you know, done into something
- 34:50Speaker 1: that was a little bit prettier and bound together. But
- 34:54Speaker 1: the one of the clients was just like, I'm dark,
- 34:57Speaker 1: I'm fat, and I'm nappy. Who the funk on one me?
- 35:01Speaker 1: And this was part of the justification for staying in
- 35:04Speaker 1: an abusive relationship that that, well, who else is going
- 35:10Speaker 1: to want me? I have to accept what I what
- 35:13Speaker 1: I got, and we have to keep in mind that
- 35:15Speaker 1: like people say all the time, though, right, and we've
- 35:18Speaker 1: already normalized it, so we'll be like, oh, they're acting
- 35:21Speaker 1: real light skin, what does that mean? Say, oh, they're
- 35:25Speaker 1: acting light skin. You need to remember what color you
- 35:27Speaker 1: are you're acting light skin? Oh, dark skinned women are
- 35:30Speaker 1: not to have standards. Only light skinned women are allowed
- 35:33Speaker 1: to have standards. Like, it just becomes this whole big
- 35:38Speaker 1: gass thing where I feel like dark skinned people are
- 35:41Speaker 1: consistently being gas lit and to believing that their experience
- 35:45Speaker 1: is not their experience. So somebody has to talk to
- 35:49Speaker 1: dark skinned people, and I decided it was gonna be me, okay,
- 35:53Speaker 1: And as much as I love hearing from light skin
- 35:55Speaker 1: folks who talk about colors and textualism and a looking like,
- 35:58Speaker 1: there are a lot of dark skinned people that you
- 36:00Speaker 1: don't hear who also talk about this, who will never
- 36:03Speaker 1: be on the same programming, who will never be at
- 36:06Speaker 1: the front. So I want to get into textualism because
- 36:09Speaker 1: there's a lot of isms out here. But I never
- 36:11Speaker 1: realized that textualism was a thing. So I always make
- 36:16Speaker 1: jokes that, you know, if all black women had like loose,
- 36:19Speaker 1: like like had his hairless right this nice Indian bundles
- 36:22Speaker 1: I'm gonna be selling soon anyway. So if all women,
- 36:26Speaker 1: all black women had like heir like this, I think
- 36:28Speaker 1: men love here like they want to be able to
- 36:30Speaker 1: touch our hair, and they can't write a lot of
- 36:32Speaker 1: times they can't just rub their things through our natural
- 36:35Speaker 1: heir and touch our scalp. I always make a joke
- 36:37Speaker 1: that if all black women had long curly hair, we
- 36:40Speaker 1: would keep we would like our men wouldn't be going
- 36:43Speaker 1: outside of community because they're so in love with here,
- 36:47Speaker 1: but we were we or you know, if you have
- 36:50Speaker 1: forcy here like I do, Like you're not just sticking
- 36:52Speaker 1: your fingers to that. No, I got that force myself,
- 36:57Speaker 1: I mean from and I'm like, put your hands in there.
- 37:02Speaker 1: I'll fix the frow later, like come on, um, because
- 37:06Speaker 1: I I personally I don't like to divorce myself from
- 37:09Speaker 1: that bit of pleasure that comes with someone playing in
- 37:12Speaker 1: your hair so on you know, massaging your scal or
- 37:15Speaker 1: even especially within sex act, someone's like there's all that's
- 37:18Speaker 1: so many beautiful nerves and things right there. I'm just like,
- 37:21Speaker 1: I don't deny it myself any of those things. Um,
- 37:25Speaker 1: but I mean this idea of touchable hair, it usually
- 37:31Speaker 1: grew for me. I remember like those herbal Essences commercials
- 37:34Speaker 1: growing up, where they'd be like, yes, yes, yes, I
- 37:38Speaker 1: have this wavy, long hair, and it's supposed to be
- 37:41Speaker 1: shiny and movable and all that other stuff, and the
- 37:45Speaker 1: advertising of sex hair or bed hair, and it's supposed
- 37:50Speaker 1: to be the sexy sort of hair that happens when
- 37:52Speaker 1: you have naturally straight hair. I think that for a
- 37:55Speaker 1: lot of it is just we need to rewrite the
- 37:58Speaker 1: script um. Natural hair is not unattractive. Natural hair is
- 38:02Speaker 1: not unmanageable. Natural hair is not even any more difficult
- 38:06Speaker 1: to manage. But because most of us have learned how
- 38:09Speaker 1: to manage straight hair, we think of our own hair
- 38:11Speaker 1: is being unmanageable. I'm like, no, your hair won't do
- 38:15Speaker 1: the thing that you're trying to make it do that
- 38:17Speaker 1: straight hair does, which is not the same thing as
- 38:19Speaker 1: saying that your hair is unmanageable. I don't know how
- 38:22Speaker 1: to manage it sounds more accurate, right, It's not unmanageable.
- 38:27Speaker 1: You just don't know how to manage it. Yeah, it's
- 38:32Speaker 1: not supposed to do exactly. I'm looking like, I'm how
- 38:35Speaker 1: am I supposed to get a mussy bun? I can't
- 38:37Speaker 1: get non messy. But I can't wake up and just
- 38:39Speaker 1: gather my natural hair and just stick it in some
- 38:41Speaker 1: sort of messy But I'm like, look, that's not my life,
- 38:44Speaker 1: my hair, don't do that. I know that I need
- 38:46Speaker 1: water in a brush. I will just look a mess
- 38:51Speaker 1: it won't be a messy bun. But even then, letting
- 38:57Speaker 1: that be okay. But we get caught up and um,
- 39:02Speaker 1: and this is, you know, again the thing our product
- 39:04Speaker 1: of white supremacy that says that black people are subferior.
- 39:10Speaker 1: You know, that their inferior to white folks, and that
- 39:13Speaker 1: we have to work twice as hard to make ourselves
- 39:16Speaker 1: presentable to be acceptable in space. So we are constantly,
- 39:21Speaker 1: i think, in a lot of ways, erasing pieces of
- 39:23Speaker 1: who we are in order to meet that. I mean,
- 39:26Speaker 1: it was a couple of years ago that H and
- 39:28Speaker 1: M had the little girl who with the same sort
- 39:31Speaker 1: of messy hair that the front that the other people had,
- 39:33Speaker 1: but she had a different hand texture, and people got
- 39:36Speaker 1: up in arms and I'm just like you're trying. That's
- 39:39Speaker 1: what hair yea it is. It's supposed to be about
- 39:42Speaker 1: kids at play. How they do black blue ivy Yeah,
- 39:46Speaker 1: same thing, how they were doing. Yeah, now that her
- 39:50Speaker 1: hair is long and flourished, and they're okay because we
- 39:53Speaker 1: like it when hair sticks to some level of Eurocentric standards.
- 39:57Speaker 1: We want the hair to be long, we want the
- 39:59Speaker 1: hay hair to be straighter, we want the hair to
- 40:02Speaker 1: constantly be done. And I'm just like, nobody is constantly together,
- 40:07Speaker 1: but we feel like we have to constantly put on someone.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Like we're so used to code switching. We code with
- 40:13Speaker 1: without hair, be codes with with our clothes. We do
- 40:15Speaker 1: it with our voices. We got our white voice when
- 40:17Speaker 1: we answer the phone. I mean, we're doing all of
- 40:19Speaker 1: this stuff all the time, and I'm just like number one,
- 40:23Speaker 1: it's exhausting and number too intensively to certain levels of
- 40:26Speaker 1: anxiety and depression because you're separating yourself from yourself. At
- 40:31Speaker 1: some point, we have to learn to like what is
- 40:32Speaker 1: already ours and the way that your hair grows out
- 40:35Speaker 1: of here. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just society's
- 40:39Speaker 1: view of what is considered to be acceptable and not
- 40:41Speaker 1: acceptable and society's view as white supremacies. As fuck, there's nothing.
- 40:46Speaker 1: There's not very much that black people can do to
- 40:48Speaker 1: be considered acceptable. You have to change almost everything about
- 40:51Speaker 1: who you are in order for someone to say that
- 40:53Speaker 1: you're acceptable and just acceptable, not desirable, not the best.
- 40:58Speaker 1: Just do you just barely met the bar? M right,
- 41:03Speaker 1: let's stop. Stop, Let's talk about some more sex before
- 41:06Speaker 1: you go, because that should getting too deep. Man. Listen, um,
- 41:16Speaker 1: what dumb story? All right? So no, we gotta ask you.
- 41:22Speaker 1: All right, we have a segment called dumb Bitch story, right,
- 41:25Speaker 1: and it's just you know, we've all been to dumb
- 41:27Speaker 1: bitch once or twice in our life for whatever reason.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Can you think of a time where you felt like, damn,
- 41:34Speaker 1: I was stupid? Like there are several times I'm like,
- 41:38Speaker 1: damn that was that was? Oh goodness. See put me
- 41:45Speaker 1: on a stone out Like you think I'm gonna read,
- 41:49Speaker 1: I'm gonna read one from a listener who sent there's
- 41:52Speaker 1: in and we can discuss theirs, and if you come
- 41:54Speaker 1: up with one, you can share it at the end
- 41:57Speaker 1: stories because evolved in the dumb Bitch at least it's twice,
- 42:03Speaker 1: all right, So listen to this This is from Megan Um.
- 42:08Speaker 1: I was riding in the car with my boyfriend. We
- 42:10Speaker 1: were on the way to the beach. His phone rang
- 42:13Speaker 1: and he didn't recognize the number, so he answered. When
- 42:15Speaker 1: he answered, he had the audacity to be laughing and
- 42:18Speaker 1: giggling and ship. So I'm in the passenger seat getting
- 42:21Speaker 1: piste off. He hangs up the phone and I go off.
- 42:25Speaker 1: I'm asking him who he was talking to, and he
- 42:28Speaker 1: ignores me. That pissed me off even more so to
- 42:31Speaker 1: get his attention, I grabbed the steering wheel and accidentally
- 42:35Speaker 1: turned it and we ran off the road and we
- 42:37Speaker 1: went into the embankment. Long story short, the police came
- 42:41Speaker 1: and it was his mom who was actually on the
- 42:43Speaker 1: phone and was calling from a different number, not another girl.
- 42:47Speaker 1: He called his friend to pick him up, and he
- 42:49Speaker 1: left me with my car on the side of the
- 42:50Speaker 1: inter state with triple A and the police. Now he
- 42:53Speaker 1: won't answer my calls. What can I do to get
- 42:56Speaker 1: my nigga back? As he showed your whole, your whole,
- 43:04Speaker 1: I'm grab the steering away the person that you don't trust.
- 43:08Speaker 1: You'll asses off the fucking road to prove a point
- 43:12Speaker 1: literally and figuratively, road. You know, you could have died,
- 43:17Speaker 1: So you could have died listening to anybody who thinks
- 43:21Speaker 1: that's cute to grab the steering wheel to get a
- 43:23Speaker 1: niggerd attention. Don't do that. Don't do that. It's never
- 43:26Speaker 1: that serious. You don't deserve your back. You don't deserve
- 43:31Speaker 1: your back, and then you could possibly go to jail.
- 43:33Speaker 1: He's still gonna be fucking bitches out here. Yeah, you
- 43:42Speaker 1: were definitely a dumb bitch. Like that was very zelius.
- 43:46Speaker 1: I was just like, that was that was not the
- 43:49Speaker 1: move at all. I'm just like, what did you give
- 43:52Speaker 1: him that you put your own car in an embankment
- 43:54Speaker 1: and now you gotta pay your fil a and now
- 43:56Speaker 1: you got I'm like, oh no, oh no, no, no,
- 44:01Speaker 1: hell to the no, no, no, so dumb you are
- 44:04Speaker 1: really gone. That was definitely you are dumb bitch for that.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Hopefully you've learned your lesson and you don't deserve him back,
- 44:13Speaker 1: you don't. You just gotta find somebody else. And he
- 44:16Speaker 1: still might not. He still might be a ain't ship dude,
- 44:19Speaker 1: He's still himself. I'm just like, but if you're feeling
- 44:22Speaker 1: that insecure in your relationship, maybe if you have a conversation.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Maybe you leave, but definitely we're not running ourselves off
