It’s SEXTEMBER! And listen, I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad you’re listening because, uh, this is Sextember. This episode. I’m just saying, I’m just gonna We’re not doing it all month long. I’ll let you know it’s not an all month long thing. We’re going to talk about sex today. All about sex. Today, based on the questions that we got from y’all, there was a point in our podcast relationship where we had a lot of sex timber and then over the years we’ve had less and less sex timber we’ve squeezed so ourselves so hard do we have less drive so hard to do sex timber is it that we’re no longer aligned or no I just think we wanted to be special our libido of sex timber has decreased I think we’ve we’ve had so much sex. Thanks. Timber talk that we wanted to be special and we realized that we were kind of getting some of the same questions that we’ve gotten before and revisiting some, there’s only two guys who’ve lived two lives who’ve only had so much sex. Plus I, I’m tired, you know, I’m, I kind of, my, my head today or in life, my head hurts a little bit. I’ve already washed my face. I’m already in my pajamas. You didn’t wash your face. So I’m kind of already under the covers. Oh God, Link, don’t be such a downer, man. I’m joking. I’m trying to make an analogy for not having sex, Timber. I like to wash my feet long before. Before you have sex and after Okay, so anyways, I like to wash my face before I go to sleep if yeah Yeah, that’s what I was getting at if and I like to put on my pajamas fair warning We usually don’t we never we never remember when we need to give a warning but you know Yeah, and this is we’re gonna talk about sex. So That’s something that you don’t want to hear us do. If you’re not comfortable. First of all, I completely understand. This is going to be, this could get explicit, specific, and erotic. So, just click away if you don’t want to listen to this. Or, if you want to put on headphones. Make sure they don’t leak. You know, like a condom. Make sure that your condom doesn’t leak. See, now we’re already into it. But don’t take a condom and fill it with water. What a guy. Oh, tell me that. To test it high school, you don’t wanna do that because need to fill it with water before you use it and while you’re using it. Because then I think it messes up like how easily you can get it on. Oh, right. Just get one that doesn’t have any holes in it. Well get a get one from a reputable, you get your condoms from a reputable manufacturer. Right. Don’t, in a reputable place, don’t, don’t pick one up off the asphalt. Right. Especially, yeah. Make sure it’s packaged. First of all. Yeah, right. Maybe hold it up to a light. Hold your condoms up to a light. And don’t blow it up like a balloon either, probably. But I’d blow it up like a balloon before I’d put water in it. You would? But I don’t do either one of those. You’re so crazy. I don’t. Look at him. I don’t use condoms because all my sex is safe sex. Yep. Well, no, it’s not just because it doesn’t prevent disease. You have unprotected sex. Having sex with my, just my wife presents monogamous. Yeah, monogamous. You have monogamous, unprotected sex. Right. But I’m, I’m, I’m neutered. That’s what I have. I’m neutered. I’m s neutered. S neutered. I’m not spayed, but I’m, but I’m sered . I’m neutral too. Hey baby, wanna get snootered tonight? Snickered and neutered. Let’s start with a, uh, a tweet from Your Meemaw. Read it in a, Your Meemaw? Yeah. Read it in a sexy Meemaw voice. Can you explain Wacky Missionary? Can you please explain Wacky Missionary? Well, first of all, let me explain why we even talk about Wacky Missionary. I don’t talk about it. Trevor. You know, this is all Trevor’s fault. Um, Trevor, part of not just the mythical world, but the Smosh world as well. Now he’s spreading himself so, so thin. He’s spreading his legs for Smosh. Trevor spreading his butt cheeks for mythical. Hey, Hey, what are you? Listen, we can say anything we want about Trevor. We can’t. He said that you like wacky missionary. Well, and I took that as a compliment. So Trevor started a rumor that I only have missionary sex. And I, and I said, listen, I was a missionary. And you did have sex. And I did have sex. And I do like the missionary position. Oh, he’s not my favorite, but I do like it. It’s not a great name. It’s a great position. It doesn’t have a great name. It’s a. Well, that’s where the, where the wacky come from. Yeah, so what is that? Well, to be honest with you, I’m not sure. Because he said that as well, Wacky Missionary? I mean, Wacky Missionary could mean different things to different people. I think that one thing that could be going on during Wacky Missionary is the music that you’re listening to could be Praise music, not praise music. I never had sex to praise music. Never done that either, but if you’re listening to positive, encouraging, if you’re listening to some real, real, if you’d like your, if you’re an actual missionary, but then the music you listen to is just really dirty, something you would be ashamed to tell, I’m just saying, I’m giving, I’m giving possible definitions to explore that would be. So the music, another one would be talking, talking really dirty while doing missionary. Can make it a little wacky, but only if you are a missionary. I think a wacky missionary, if they were listening to music, it’s like Zydeco or something, you know, it’s just strange. I guess what I’m saying is that missionary has a reputation for being a boring sex position. And I’m saying maybe there are things you can do to make it less boring. So I’m using wacky not in a literal sense. I’m using it in the sense of making it more interesting. And this is where you get into the idea of maybe. One leg goes up. Do you know what I’m saying? At that point Like half a field goal position? At that point I think that’s a different position. I think that’s a different position. I think that’s the jackknife. Oh, yes. I don’t know. I don’t know. What about with a clown nose? Missionary with a clown nose. Bit wacky. You know? That’s what you’ve been doing. You’ve been doing this stuff. What about you, man? You were a missionary. Yeah, but I never did wacky. You just did straight missionary and that was it? Yeah. Okay. I just don’t I just think it needs to be called something else. I call it, like, default position. That’s, that’s Yeah, that’s, that’s sexy. Is that better than Is that better than missionary position? No. Default position. No. I mean, your face off position. Facing, like, face to face. Here’s looking at you, kid, position. I mean, there’s a lot to like about it. Maybe not Kit. Here, looking at you, position. There’s a lot to like about it. Being able to look at each other is one of the things. Right. I’m standing in defense of this. Of Missionary. I’m not standing, though, because that would be a different position. Right. Snoop Dogg’s new album that It’s supposed to come out, like, Dr. Dre produced this album for Snoop Dogg, and it’s called Missionary. His first album was called Doggy Style. You get it? You get it? Hopefully it will come out, the album. If you were to create a pie chart of, um, what percentage of different positions that you employ, What? How big of a pie piece? I’m glad you asked because I’ve already done it. With missionary Phil and a straight missionary. No, no legs lifted. Not one, not two. What is that called? No legs lifted. So like knees up, not missionary anymore. Do we have it? Can we get, can we grab some dolls? I’m talking about. I’m talking about knees to ears. Yeah, I’m talking about calves. What is that called? Knees to ears. I’m talking about like, feet are up here. Feet to ears? I’m very tall, my wife’s very short. So let me just put things into perspective. I’m saying that like, calves, calves on ears. Good God. That’s not missionary. That’s foldy. Foldy position. I’m not, that’s, I’m, I’m not. And it’s great. It’s great. Um, yeah, I think straight missionary. I’m going to just say, well, I’ll let you answer because I asked you first. Well, if we’re, if we’re getting down to the specific, if anything’s up by the ears and that’s not missionary, then that’s going to bring my number down. I like to involve the ears. That’s when it gets real hot, you know, when you get the ears involved, you know, what are other ways that this body parts never met the ears? Yeah. Look at that. Do you just get it to hold you here sometimes? Well, yeah. Um, so I would, I would say it’s maybe, I don’t know, you know, I’m not good with numbers. 25%. 30%? Yeah, I would say, I was gonna say 15 to 20. Okay. 15 to 20. I didn’t mean to whisper, but I did. Okay. Uh, so I guess the question, to answer your memaw is, no, we actually can’t really explain Wacky Missionary. Wacky Missionary is what you make it. But I’m just saying that Missionary gets a bad rap, but we’re still saying we only do it a minority of the time. Get some more ear touching into it. Let’s listen to this first voicemail that we got. Hey Rhett. Hey Link. Big fans. Uh, well I say fans like multiple, it’s just me. Um, anyway. My wife has recently gotten into, uh, fantasy novels. Um, how do I adapt my sexual lifestyle to fulfill her needs? I unfortunately do not have a pair of wings attached to my back, nor do I have the ability to fly. However, I’m trying to make the toes curl, so Anything would be helpful. Love the content. Keep it up. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. When he says fantasy novels, what does he mean? Me and Jenna are about to educate you. All you gotta do is sit back and take it in. I love that you and I both made eye contact and were like, Oh! So, my wife, um, Is into romance novels in general, right? Okay, yeah, I know what that is. She reads a lot of them, okay? But the thing that she has not yet ventured into, because she’s not really like, she’s never been into the fantasy genre of literature. Is the combination of those things, which Jenna can explain what that is, because I know that she’s into it. Yeah, yeah, we’ve, I, I feel like I’ve talked about this with you before. Yeah, it’s ringing a little bit of a bell. Yeah, yeah, the Bat Boys. Mm hmm. We talk about the Bat Boys, who are the bad boys, and we, they’re the guys with wings. Bat Boy? Bat Boys. Is this, is this a certain, um, book series? Um, no, it’s a, it’s a genre of smut, I would say. Um, call it what it is, yeah, no shame to talk about it. It’s a mix between a man and a bat? But not a Batman. It could be anything. It depends. It depends. Think about fantasy novels. Yeah. It’s a fantasy novel where there are people who are half goat, half person. There are, and wizards, there are people who can fly, but it has in, in some series, they’re like referred to as elyan. It’s uh, like just, uh, a, a species of humanoids who have wings. But then they also, there’s sex scenes in the books. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, so we’re talking Lord of the cock rings. Yeah, I suppose. Maybe that just sounds like dumb porn. Um, ACOTAR is one of the most famous. What happens in ACOTAR? With, like, there’s bat boys and stuff, but, um, It has Shadow daddies. I’ve told you about shadow daddies as well. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yes. Same kind of thing where like there’s wielders of shadows. Do they use the term shadow daddy in the thing or is that just what the fans say? Nah, that’s the fans. That’s the fans, yeah, yeah. They’re like basically shadow wielders. They have control of the shadows and darkness. Okay, and what kind of love do they make? Sometimes, sometimes those overlap. Sometimes Batboys are also shadow daddies. But what kind of, how does a Batboy make love and how does a Shadow Daddy make love? Um, basically the same. Shadow Daddies though, cause they have like kind of control of shadows and things. They can also kind of have phantom hands in a way. Oh my god. Which is another. Level, um, their wings are quite sensitive, so that is an erogenous zone for them as well. Whoa, that feels like a pretty high liberty there. So they, they really get, they get pleasure from flying? Yeah. Just from the wind blowing across their wings? You catch a good breeze and then the next thing you know. Probably, yeah, a solid breeze will do some good for anybody. I He needs to read those books. The husband in the voicemail should look into the books. This is the question. This is the question. That’s your advice. Before we get him to read the Chronicles of Labia, We, we need to talk about this in general, okay? And that is, I’m faced with a similar predicament, And it doesn’t have to do with the fantasy thing, It’s just to do with the romance novel thing, And Jessie’s like, she reads so many of them, And she’ll be like, you, why don’t you read one of these? And I say to myself, um, because I don’t think I would enjoy it. Oh, there’s a, there’s a, there’s a good solution to this. Yes. Yes. It’s not hard to, um, type in the specific book and, um, just a search for the popular, um, Chapter page of like the lines that are said really, you just need to know you need to know some of the lines that are said that some of these these daddies say, so you can say it. Yeah. Yeah. Some of the moves that they use like you can there’s certainly plenty of chat on. On the internet of people talking about their favorite scenes and their favorite parts and like the favorite lines Well, I want you I want you to regale us with one of these Look that up look that up and uh, we’ll get we’ll get back to you once you got it All right. Okay, because I I’d like a specific example of uh, okay SM smut. Bat daddy. Mm-Hmm. . Okay. So you want specifically the wings, the man with wings? Yeah. No. Whatever you think’s most compelling. Whatever, whatever would, whatever you think’s gonna convince us. Okay. All right. The most, because what Jenna is saying to do is what I did when I was 15 years old and I was. Still my Nana’s romance novels and just thumb through them until I found a word that I thought was a euphemism for wiener. And then I was off to the jackpot. Yeah. It’s ridiculous. I don’t, I don’t think it’s ridiculous. Did Jesse specifically at like legit, like sincerely ask you to read one? So I think it has to do with the fact that, you know, She reads so many of them, and we watch romantic comedies together. Yeah. Frequently. It’s kind of a thing that we do. She doesn’t like to watch dark movies where everyone She likes that. Guys and everyone’s scared like I do. You participate, you’re a willing participant because she likes it and it And I, and I like rom coms. There’s a gimmick to it. I like rom coms. And there’s something about the simplicity of the premise. It’s different than reading a romance novel by yourself. And so I just think she’s thinking, well, I’m enjoying this thing and, um, And I do think there is a, well maybe you can get some ideas from this too, you know. Oh. When you’re reading these romance novels. Okay. And you’re, you know, In some ways you’re being schooled, exposed to all these different perspectives and all these different stories that are not just there’s the circumstance of the love story and then there’s the sexual component. Sure, sure. And so I’m just like, Hey, listen, I’ll watch your romantic comedies and I can enjoy that. But I don’t know, like I’m literally right now, I’m literally still reading that book about the scientists. Who researched the chamber divers thing I talked about. I’m almost done with that. Like, it’s it’s a it’s a book book about military science, specifically underwater research. It is not sexy. There’s no sex in it. There’s a lot of high pressure situations, like literal high pressure where people are in chambers. Yeah, no, but no, no, there’s there’s seizures. Uh, there’s vomiting. There’s bleeding from the ears. Okay. Ears. There’s a lot of death actually. Um. So there’s bodily fluids, there’s pain. But no one has ejaculated thus far in the book. And if they did, it would be recorded in a scientific journal. You’ll know it because those pages will be stuck together. Right? Yeah, I know what you mean. Yeah. I know what you mean. Just holler when you got it Jenna, but we’re going to move to the next one. We’ll come back to it whenever you’re ready. And before we move to the next one, I would like to draw attention to the shirt that I’m wearing. Yes, this is this year’s Golden Tee of Mythicality. We’re doing it again this year. It’s beautiful.

Do they get in the way for anything if left on? This is an intriguing question that you should be able to answer. Yeah, cuz I wear glasses. But you answer it first. You ever put on glasses that you don’t need? Just to make love? Only when I’m role playing as a professor. Yeah, I wish it I wish I could say I did some role playing, but I don’t. Maybe I’ll do it. I gotta, I gotta, I gotta sharpen my No, really? Yeah, come on. Yeah, I gotta, I gotta work up a character sketch. Now, do you have like a Kurt Rambis? Set of goggles like a Horace Grant like I put on my sports goggles. Yeah Well, do you take your glasses off? Well, first of all, look I got my glasses right now look at oh god, please don’t do that Coming down see this is how to push him up. It’s not push him up Well, what would that be? My own wiener. Yep, so you leave them on. I It depends. If I want to bury my face in a, uh, pillow, or any pillow like place, then I will take the glasses off. But I usually put them to the side where I can reach them. I like I just in case well, I can put them back on. I mean i’m not blind as a bat boy Right, jenna Are they blind? Do they echolocate? Where is it? I would think where’s the cave? I would think some of them are I think that’s what a bat boy is Sitting there sending the sonar out so they know where to where to dive bomb That’s what they do Um, I like to keep my glasses on because I like the high fidelity experience Um, and I also think that I look more like me when I have my glasses on wow So you so you have actually thought about this? Yeah Like you think yourself. I do it so I can see better but also so I can be seen as me better It’s like I mean, it’s a little distracting like even if we’re just doing the podcast right now. That’s how your mom, your mom That’s how your mom, that’s how your mom always knew you That’s how Christy knew you until you started wearing glasses I mean I guess you’ve been wearing glasses with her most of the marriage. But when I’m not wearing glasses doesn’t it look like I’m a little off kilter Yeah, but if I lived with you. And I’d look a lot more like my dad. Yeah, but you’re in So You don’t sleep with your glasses on. And you’re in bed, and if you’re I don’t know, if you’re like me, most of the time that you’re having sex, it’s in the context of the bed. Yeah! So it’s in the context, usually, before I go to bed. And so, if there were things that I did Yeah, but I I’ll say for me, I’m never going to sleep and then roll over, have coitus, and then roll back over and go to sleep. There’s more prep and there’s more post. So there’s, I like to have my, I like to be put together a little. Interesting. But there are occasions when you take it off, when you take them off. At certain points when, um, I’ve already told you. When I need to smush my face, I don’t like to smush my glasses against my face. So I just, I take them off. Hmm. I don’t know. There’s just something about picturing you completely naked with just glasses on that kind of disturbs me. Honestly, it’s better. Trust me. It’s better that way. It’s better. I mean, do I guess I don’t know how am I not naked if I have on glasses? Not technically, I guess. I don’t know how, uh, how bad your vision is because I understand the like wanting to see everything the way you want to see it. I can still see, but I can’t read. Hold on, what are you reading? The instructions, man! I don’t need my glasses. I would say it’s 50 50. Okay, 50 50. But the most interesting part of your answer is the fact that you keep your glasses on so you will be perceived more as yourself. Which is, that’s, I gotta wrap my mind around that. I don’t like to look at, if I was gonna make love to myself, I’d prefer to Wow, so you picture yourself now as someone with glasses. You think that you’re less of yourself without the glasses. Yeah. Wow. I mean, I mean, look, who is this guy? I think of myself as less of myself without my beard, for sure. But glasses, interesting. I don’t know. I don’t know how to, I don’t know how to take that. I’m just, I’m just taking it in. I don’t wear glasses while having sex. Good question. That was a good question. But I don’t wear, and here’s the thing. I, I’ll, uh, I’ll give a full update on this when the time is right. But I did go to the eye doctor and. Well, don’t give an update for you. We’re talking about sex. 2020. Oh, 2020. Okay. No need for glasses. It’s still 2020. So the whole like, complicated, what happens when I need glasses, we don’t have to worry about it for a while. Uh, let’s see here. We have another excretion from Anu Sanu. How long did it take until you felt that you were good at sex? Um, I think I really didn’t get good at sex until we moved to California. Wow. How long have we lived here? 14? Took me 10 years. Boy, that’s not something to brag about, is it? Took me 10 years to get good at sex. What was it about crossing the Rockies, so to speak? I just feel, I just feel like, um, things really got in sync. I think, you know, it’s a, it’s a partnership thing being totally, I don’t know, I feel like we had the best, I feel like we’re, we’ve had, uh, I mean, the best lovemaking has been, uh, definitely in, in this phase of my life. Oh yeah. So there you go. That’s the reason the best experiences, like to the point where like, man, this is the, I think that might be a, a top five experience. Like whenever we would have that conversation afterward. Um, I mean, we’re not, we’re not topping ourselves week after week, but it’s definitely been more, I mean, I, we said it, we started to say that more over the past 14 years. Um, I think there’s a certain level of glasses off a certain level of openness, adventure, trust, um, trying things, discovering things like being at a certain place, uh, in your relationship where you can discover things that work, you can, and then, you know, your bodies are changing, I think. So there’s like something about there’s some sort of, Alignment, it might be lunar. It may be other otherwise, but like that literal, some sort of, yeah. Some sort of figurative finally figured out how to line it up. Right. Just right. Give me 10 years in a sense though. Yes. Um, probably, yep. I’ll leave it at that. I heartily agree. One of the, one of the cool aspects How long did it take you to get good at sex? Well, that’s kinda what I’m commenting on, is the fact that good is a relative term. And the, you know, I’m just saying my sexual history and Jessie’s sexual history are what they are because of who we were and who we are. And so the circumstances that led to us both being virgins and having sex for the first time on our wedding night in what is like the most traditional conservative approach that you can possibly imagine, which is not what I would prescribe. It’s just, what happened with us? Um, it created this environment where good at sex was only a way of measuring us against ourselves? Well, you didn’t have anybody, any other experience to compare it to. Right, so. And you also, you know, you weren’t round robin ing this thing to like, to like, You know, you weren’t we weren’t opening ourselves up sexual partners and learning a bunch of stuff. Everything we learned was in the context of us being motivated and having the energy and the camaraderie to, uh, yeah, and to make progress. And again, I’m trying to be extremely clear in communicating that I am not saying this is the ideal, this is what you should do. There are some situations where two very sexually experienced people come together and have a relationship and have an incredible sex life. There are people who are very sexually experienced who come together and have a horrible sex life. There are times where there’s one person who’s very sexually experienced and one person who isn’t at all. And it can be beautiful. Sometimes it can be a challenge to be overcome. These are all the, what you bring to your relationships is what you bring to your relationships. It’s what you do with that. And for us, it created this opportunity for us to learn together and to get better together. And so it’s always been good, a good experience, but now I can, you know, the 23 year married Rhett and Jesse can look back on the, uh, Just got married and went to the embassy suites. And Raleigh, Rhett and Jessie, and be like, they had no idea what they were doing. No idea. And I will say, as is not uncommon in that situation, like I always got what I was hoping for. She did not necessarily always get what she was hoping for because she was still figuring that out and I was still figuring that out. And now it’s obviously a very different equation. So it’s cool to look back at the different progress that we’ve made. So I wouldn’t say that there was a definitive shift that happened at any particular time. It’s just been a slow growth. And it has gotten better and better and i’m very grateful I’m glad to hear that But if this was like the sex olympics and all of a sudden we had to compete against other couples I gotta be honest with you. I don’t have any idea where we would stack up. You know what I mean? Yeah, I don’t think we’re signing up for that. We’re not we’re not yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we don’t have a sponsor yet Is that a thing sex olympics? Of course i’m looking at you jamie I feel like it is. Jamie used to produce a sex podcast. So, uh, if you don’t know. It’s, well, technically it is a game that someone created. Okay, it’s just porn then. It’s an erotic point and click adventure. Oh. I don’t want to play it. I’ve actually with one of my first boyfriends, we did play a game like that and he was so into it and I was just cracking up. I was like, I cannot take this seriously at all. Like you actually have to like click on stuff to stroke it and do different things. And he was like, super like, I turned around and he was hard as a rock and I was laughing so hard. Yeah, that sounds about right. Yeah. Yeah. Point and click point and click. I said I don’t understand the mechanics of what Jamie’s trying to tell us Well, you know what a mouse is. Yeah, I know point it like you had a like You were given sexual act assignments. Yes, there is like different characters that you would have to try to have sex with throughout your adventure on this thing. And then you literally like, and it’s very graphic, and you literally point and click like, You like point and click real fast. Yeah. Oh. Or like, and like you literally take it and you have to like go up and down to simulate, you know. All that stuff. Yeah. There was all these different things that you had to do and like, if you weren’t doing it well, like the people, the characters would like get mad at you . They, they’d get uninterested. They would, they would get uninterested and then you would like have to try again. Oh yeah. Okay. It was inter, yeah. It was just because you were cracking up doesn’t mean you couldn’t have been into it. No, but it was, it was just fun. It was just funny to see these stark differences. Yeah. Right. He was like so into it. Yeah, and I was just like. I thought, like, it was fine. It was just funny. Like, I was like, this is not really doing anything extra. I’m already good to go, but if you wanted to, like, play it up, sure. We don’t need this two dimensional point and click. We don’t need the points or the clicks. Yeah, but yeah, it was, it was very funny. Okay, let’s go to this next voicemail. Would you rather question? Hey boys, this is a question for sex temberment. Would you guys rather have sex with Belvedere the cockatrice and everybody knows it, or have sex with each other and nobody knows it? Thanks, love you, bye! So, Belvedere and everybody knows it. Sex with each other. Nobody knows it. Yeah. Do we know it? I think we would know it. So, well, maybe there’s some way we could arrange it that one of us wouldn’t know. What would happen? What would happen? First of all, how do you have sex with a chicken? I know there’s a cloaca and this is right. So we just, we’re talking about this in theory, you know, for entertainment purposes. Yeah. Yeah, and we’re not even going to be entertained by it. That’s right. We’re not talking about having sex with a chicken, Link. We’re talking about having sex with a sentient My starting point is mascot. Just choosing that. A sentient mascot, who we also at times worship as a god on Good Mythical Morning. Right. Which is weird. Right. For those Belvedere says. Games, so let’s just assume that from a biological perspective that it is possible and everybody knows It’s sensual and consensual. It’s a sentient being. I think we would have like a bad boy We’d have to take him out of the intro to the show Yeah Definitely like he can’t he can no longer be in that because I don’t want it to be a daily reminder to every viewer That who knew what we did that yeah reminded that we look they’re just completely celebrating it every every morning But that is what I’m Julie, oh, yeah, and it’s because I’ve been made to do it, right I didn’t want to do it. Do they know that too? Does who know that the people who know that I? Sexed the cockatrice. Oh, that’s a good question. They know that it was so that I wouldn’t have to sex you Yeah, because they would find out that both of us that had sex with it because we probably both have to Face this question. I think if we couldn’t tell him, then we’d have some real problems. If we couldn’t tell him the reason why, I don’t like this question. Oh, I see that. Let’s stay with it then. I mean, I think we’d be cancelled for having sex with a chicken mascot. Well, that’s a good point. That’s a good point. So I guess a better question is, is would we have sex with each other in order to not be cancelled? Right. Listen, you know, I got other things I could do. Some people get cancelled and go on to have wonderful lives. It would be sad, but it would be sad. They’re like, well, you know, I can’t show my face on the internet anymore, but I’ve taken up pottery and I quite enjoy it. I’m thinking about opening a little shop where no one cares if I was cancelled. I, you know, I just Yeah. Thanks for asking. Yeah, inquiring minds, you know. Jenna, do you have your Bat Boy, or what, did you find something? Yeah, well, I had to, it took some deciding of like, what am I going to share with you all to give you an idea of, Why we like this this stuff so much and it’s it’s multiple reasons. Uh, anyway, uh, but what you’re about to really know. It’s it’s that we’re gonna see in Nesta. She knows. Okay. All right. Let’s hear it. Okay. Um, well, okay. So it’s a it’s like a whole description and everything. Do you want the full page reading of sure. Okay. All right, setting the scene. Okay. Nesta is in her bed and Cassian has come in. Okay, and he is a shadow daddy or a bat boy a bat boy Okay, not both just about she’s just a woman and she well No, she at this point has been thrown into the she was a human and then she got thrown into the cauldron and now She is fey and has her own kind of abilities that she’s still working through And we kind of found out that she’s kind of a harbinger bringer of death type Vibes anyway Okay. Okay. Okay. She knelt before him. Nearly knee to knee. I still need more. Cassian’s head lifted, eyes flashing. I know. She couldn’t breathe. Under the stare. The beautiful face. How can I need you again so soon? It wasn’t a coy, courteous question. It was a. Voiced out of sheer desperation because she did need more. She needed him back inside her, needed his weight, his mouth, and teeth on her. She had no explanation for it, that rising, unquenchable thirst. His eyes flickered. I’ve needed you from the moment I first met you. And now that I get to have you, I don’t want to stop. Yes, she breathed, about as much as truth as she admit. Yes, she did. They stared at each other for a long minute for eternity and then to her shock and delight Cassian hardened before her eyes. Okay. Hope you know that you know what that means so far This is just a romance novel. Where’s the bat part gonna come in? Listen, it’s not about that That’s just a side thing like I want to know when it gets when does it get weird? When is it? It doesn’t always get weird. When does he echolocate her special spot? I think you might have to write one of these. I think you might have to write one of those. Yeah, I don’t think that When he starts flapping uncontrollably. That does not happen. That does not happen. Yeah, no one would like that. You are not going to enjoy Batboy using echolocation to know if he’s inside or not, is not something any woman wants to read about. When does he hang upside down from the ceiling? They don’t do that. When does he shit on our floor? Not, to my knowledge, that does not happen. I mean, I mean, if any of the bad boys were to do that, Cassian certainly would. That’s 100 It’s called guano. It’s a resource. Yeah, Ace Ventura taught us that. Uh, I don’t Let’s continue, maybe something will happen. Continue? Okay. He just had I don’t know, if it’s just gonna be a romance novel He had just hardened and then you made it stop. Right before our eyes. Yeah, yeah, right before your eyes. Okay. Do you see what you do to me? He asked. Do you see what happens every time I look at you all day? She smirked. I vaguely recall you boasting weeks ago that I would be the one to crawl into your bed. It seems like you did the crawling. His lips twitched upwards. It would seem so. His heart thundered as he held her stare. Get on your hands and knees, he ordered, his voice so low she could barely understand him, but her blood heated and it ached, that had nothing to do with how hard he’d just taken, uh, what, with how hard he’d just taken her began to build between her legs once more. Uh oh. So Nessa did as he bade, burying herself I feel like I’m okay. What are you going to keep going? All right, but there’s not much left. There’s like a court. There’s like a third of a page left bad boy. Don’t last long. She’s on her hands and knees. No, I’m not going to read the whole thing right now. I’m just getting to like the fun lines of the scene. Okay. Okay. Um, so Nessa did as he bade bearing herself still wet and gleaming from both of their releases. He snarled in satisfaction. Beautiful. She whimpered a bit because beneath the praise, pure lust simmered. He growled. Put your hands on the headboard. Bats don’t growl. These do. They make a noise. They’re fey with wings. I just, like, need you to understand. There’s bat, like, Batman. It’s not batty from Fern Gully, like. Does he have, does he have bat wings? He, they’re like tucked, they’re tucked in. So he doesn’t have arms? He has arms. Well, no, that’s not how bats work. Well, in this writer’s defense, most people are the wings. I know, a bat and an arm, a bat’s wing and an arm are the same thing, evolutionarily speaking. That’s no fun. The wings are bat like. Okay. The wings are bat like. The wings are separate on dragons. Do you want her to keep going? I think we’re done at this point, right? Yeah, yeah. Really, put your hands on the headboard is a great one. And then he leans in to whisper, hold on tight. So things like, put your hands on the headboard, said so low that only an elephant can hear it. That’s the, put your heads on the headboard . Like that kind of thing. That’s what the women want, man, because that’s what bats do. They talk to elephants. She said it was so low. Oh, she could barely understand it. And that’s like an elephant speaking at Subsonic. Oh, I understand. Put your head on the headboard My name is LI. Yeah, I get that. Get that. Like get down on all fours Sometimes sometimes you want to give some commands like that or receive some commands like that You know if you’ve established that that’s part of the deal at a time, okay You know Don’t look at my ugly bat face. The uh, the role you should clean up my guano. You should do the role playing. The role playing is fun. Clean up my guano. I think I just feel like maybe you need to tell me. Read another one. You need to reel it in a little bit. Read another one. When you do your role play. Cherry wild have either of you ever been to a strip club? Huh? Getting into the good stuff. Um I’ve never been to a strip club. I’ve never been to a strip club. Um, I don’t, I don’t understand really. I mean, I do, I think I understand. What do you mean? But like, I, I, it’s not even, like, How is it not so awkward to go, I mean, I’ve seen them in like, uh, well, I’ve seen the outside of them, you know, they’re usually in like, where you’ve seen warehouse, you’ve seen movies where people go to strip clubs. Yeah, I’ve seen, I’ve seen the inside of them in like, uh, scenes in entertainment. But I don’t understand you’re just you’re just sitting there like give me the chicken wing and I’m just gonna sit here and like you’re gonna be You’re like you’re you’re your shins are eye level with me and you’re up there dancing And what am I supposed to do be aroused? But just sit there seems very frustrating. Well, you’re also supposed to tip and then you’re supposed to tip. Yeah Yeah, you don’t I mean don’t just sit there. It seems I I feel like i’m in an awk I would be in an awkward position. Whoa You Which I will call Wacky Missionary. I don’t know what to do here! That was maybe not the first thing that I thought when I thought about it, wasn’t it? Well, that would be awkward. I don’t disagree with you. Cause you’re supposed to go and you’re supposed to act like, Oh, this isn’t that big of a deal. She’s naked. Well, the funny thing is, I’m here. Hold on, you’re acting like Eating some mozzarella sticks. You’re not always naked. It depends on, it depends on I’m here. The state you’re in and the, the rules. Your scenario You’re not always naked. Well, I’m in Atlanta. You’re by yourself. And I’ve heard about Atlanta. But in your scenario, Why are you by yourself? It’s even, cause, to make it less awkward. But if you go with a group of people. Hey man, look at her. Yeah, me too. Both looking at her. Maybe, maybe let me just, I’ve never been. I’m just, I’m just imagining if I were to go. I imagine that I would be with a group of people and I would be talking to this group of people like you would if you just went to hang out with other people, but the thing that happens to be, the entertainment that happens to be, happens to be happening is people dancing naked or semi naked. So you’re, you’re not supposed to be like super horned. Super, super aroused by this. You’re just supposed to, is that the game? It’s like, yeah, this is cool to see this person get like taking their clothes off and doing like a sexy dance and bending over and taking my money. But I’m just here eating a corn dog or a lasagna. I don’t know what they eat there. You know, it’s like. Is that the game? Um, I mean it’s like, it’s definitely, your, people that go to strip clubs alone would probably be looked at as creepier than someone that would go in a group. Because it’s just supposed to be this fun thing that dudes or women do to, I don’t know, have fun. I do think there’s a different vibe in a male strip club versus a female strip club. It’s like a female strip club. You got guys hanging out going, Hey man, are you horny? I’m horny! Cause she’s naked. Or getting there. Hey man, how horny are you? Cause I’m horny. I don’t understand. Like, what are we talking about? Yeah, I mean, and then you also get lap dances. So you’re just like, kind of like That’s even worse! Cause Correct, correct. Well, okay, just to be explicit here. Are you getting at the what do I do with my Penis. Yeah, I mean if I’m a man and I’ve got on pants and I’m looking at a naked lady I’m probably going to get aroused and at that point I’ve got like but that just takes me back to like middle school at that point I had to walk around With an erection, you know, it just, it’s restricted to some degree. Am I going to bring my book bag to the strip club so I can cover myself to get it? That’s a good, that’s a legitimate question. Well, don’t wear sweatpants. Okay. So that’s a legitimate question, but let’s set aside the physical, the physical conundrum for a moment. And then you know that everybody in there is aroused. Well, yeah. What’s weird about that? It’s weird to be sitting. If I went into a, uh, uh, Olive Garden. And I knew that everybody in there Well, wanted lasagna? That’s why they’re there. No. No. Was fighting off No, exactly. No, no, no. When everybody was batting down a Woody, I just would feel weird. When you go to a Golden Corral, and every I’m not saying that the women dancing are food. They are in this analogy. But I’m saying something that you are physically attracted to, and everyone knows we’re all there to be physically attracted to this. I’m just saying that doesn’t strike me as the weird part. What’d you do with your penis? You have a legitimate question. I don’t want to go somewhere with my friends and know that they’re all aroused. Okay, okay. Let’s remove from that situation. What about when you and your friends are Watching a movie and then there’s a extended sex scene because I mean, there’s one thing like I don’t know anybody I mean, maybe people do this like I’ve never people get around and watch porn. I’m talking about just you’re like watching Lethal Weapon Leave the weapon to leave the weapon to yeah in the RV So are you saying that during that moment like you’re so weird you feel? Oh, okay. This is interesting I get I you feel weird that we’re all acknowledging that the thing that we’re watching is On the screen is attractive to us together as a group, but nothing’s going to happen because it’s on a screen. I guess my mind is like, but you’re pitching a tent. I don’t want you picking and pitching a tent in my living room. You don’t want anyone else to have an erection for any reason in your presence. And me know it. Bingo. OK, I definitely don’t want to go and spend money. Like, just throw away cash. Like, literally. Well, hold on. Your frugality is, I mean, we gotta pick an issue here. Hey, you know what? I’ve been saving up my hard earned pay so that I can sit next to my buddy who’s pitching a tent. Like, I mean, I, I would love, I, I’m sure my body would love looking at a stripper. But then my mind would be too weirded out and I couldn’t play it cool. Well, I know you couldn’t play it cool. There’s no question about that, but that’s, that’s just, that’s just, I mean, everybody, who are we fooling? Well, but there are situations we have been to parties where people had dancers. We went to that party that one time, you remember this. It was Ray William Johnson’s birthday party. Yeah, I remember. Many, many years ago. Yeah, he had a nice No, no, I don’t know if it was his birthday party, or if it was like celebration of a million subscribers. I think that’s what it was. This is like 14 years ago, a long time ago. They were He was the biggest thing on YouTube. It seemed like they were They were Dressed like school girls. They were dancers dressed up like him. They were wearing glasses and a t shirt. Yeah, and then like really small pants. Yeah, so that was they were dancing Sexually, I felt uncomfortable on it. Okay. All right because You feel uncomfortable. Well, I mean, I guess what I’m saying is that to me, there’s this like, and I, again, I, I’m speaking theoretically or I haven’t been, I don’t have plans to go. I also am not like, it would be something that like me and my wife would discuss together and we would make a decision together to do it. Or, you know, I’m saying it’s like for the novelty of it, for whatever the reason, I’m just saying that it, it’s not something I’m going to go like do in secret without her. Yeah. And we haven’t discussed doing it. And so, but I’m saying, I imagine that if it were to happen, it would be in the context of our relationship. Right. But I think maybe what I’m saying is that with a group of guy friends, if, if she was like, sure, go to a strip club, I don’t care. Go with your boys. It just have your fun. Now, let’s put some boundaries in place where you’re not going to take any action or touch anybody. It’s probably, you probably put a boundary in place like that. She wouldn’t have to tell me. She wouldn’t even have to tell you to tell me that. Would you do it? Yeah. Yeah, I just don’t know if I could accept the invitation. I guess maybe like, to me, it would be like, you horny right now, man. I know you are. Maybe I’m simple minded. Naked women look good to me. Yeah, they do to me too. So if I could be in a room where there’s a naked lady dancing, that is an experience. It’s like, okay, if I’m in a hallway. Yeah, but I don’t want my, I don’t want my friends there pitching a tent beside me. Okay, but here, if I’m in a hallway and there are two doors, one door just goes out into a parking lot. The other door goes into a room with a naked lady dancing. Yeah. Yeah. I’m going to choose the room with the naked lady dancing. Like if I’m just, which one would I rather be in? You gonna take your mom in that room with you? And just, no my mom’s not invited. Okay. But just because my guy friends are in the room, doesn’t mean, well I’m not going in there because my guy friends are in there. That’s the part I don’t understand. I’m not going into that room. Until I have a conversation with my wife, I’m not, I’m saying in this, in, in this, in this situation, I’m just saying that’s the part that like, okay, maybe it would be less awkward if they weren’t there, but then it would just be me and a woman dancing in a room and that’s, I’m not, that’s not what the situation that I’m trying to create, right? Right. But everyone, but no one’s thinking about you in that moment. Everyone’s thinking about the naked lady. Okay, well that helps. You know what I mean? And if I turn and look, she doesn’t see me. You pitch in a tent right now? You’d be like, hey dude, If we ever, Would you be like, stop looking at me. For whatever reason, If we ever go to a strip club together, I’ll set one moundary right now. You don’t lean over to me and say, Are you horny right now? Like, don’t. You don’t talk to me. Okay. My one rule is no touching and no talking from you. You can’t say anything until we get out of there. Okay. Cause you’re going to ruin it for me. If you’re like, are you horny? I know you are! You horn? How could you not be? Exactly! How could you not be? How could you not be? Exactly! So it would be weird to even have another idea! Jenna, are we crazy? Um, yeah, you’re crazy. I don’t know, it’s whatever you wanted. Okay, it seems like I Hey, but what about that time that we were on the bus in Vegas? There was this bus. Yeah. That we, it was a work trip and we, uh, us. We were taking a bus. We, we got on this shuttle bus. From the hotel to the strip. Yeah, and it was broad daylight. And, and. And there was a driver and then there was a. Well, there was a woman. On the bus. And she, we sat down and she was like, Would you like anything to drink? I was like, well, this is nice. Yeah, there’s a there’s a woman who’s gonna give his drinks a waitress And I said sure. Yeah, and then I watched as she turned and leaned into the front where there was a Cooler. Yeah, and as she leaned over Bent over let’s be honest. I was like, well her shorts are mighty short And I’m, now I’m seeing her underwear and it seems like she wants me to. She wanted us all to. And at that point, that was when I noticed there was a pole in the middle of the bus. But there, but there, but there’s a lot of buses that have poles in them. With the structural integrity of the bus. You gotta keep the roof, you gotta hold the roof up somehow. Right. It was a long. If you roll. Tall bus. And then, as she gave us our drinks, she said, Would you like me to dance? And everybody looked at us, because we were the bosses. Yeah. And we looked at each other and said to her, No thank you. I mean, I was blindsided. Yeah, it was a little unexpected. We didn’t know what kind of bus we were on. And I will say, I did, I mean. The drink was nice. I said no, I was on the same page of no thank you. Um, because I, ’cause, uh, our familial expectations were that we wouldn’t participate in such a thing. And I think maybe that it, this, it, maybe that’s what I’m saying. That’s the reason, that’s the reason. It, it wasn’t like our, this is about to get awkward. It was like, oh, I, this is, I haven’t, I haven’t told to my wife about this. You know what I’m saying? Right. I didn’t tell her that this was gonna happen. Yeah. So it’s the type of thing that you want to have an agreement in place beforehand before you accepted a Stripper dance. Yeah, and I mean talk about I mean, yeah, so this isn’t even just your boys in a strip club This is your co worker. This is your employees in a in a moving bus Yeah, which I’m sure does happen. Work trip strip clubs, but everybody says, yeah, we know what we’re doing. We’re, we’re going on this bus. Like, you know, that’s one thing, but that wasn’t, that wasn’t the situation. So anyway, uh, take. And do what you will with that, Cherry Wilde. Yes. Good question. Good question. I think Rhett and Link and Stevie go to a strip club might have to be next year’s Mythical Society. Mythical Society thing. Or maybe take you to a pole class. You all learn a pole dance. I think that’ll be fun. Oh, so that we can appreciate the artistry of it. Yeah. So then the goal is to appreciate it so much that you don’t get horny? Um. Ain’t nothing wrong with getting horny. Right. That’s what I don’t understand. I like it. But. It ain’t nothing wrong with saying there’s something awkward about getting horny with, in certain company. I’m not, I mean, if you get, if you, if you feel awkward, you feel awkward. I’m just saying that that’s not on the list of. I mean, I didn’t even like Jenna reading all that story. First thing’s coming to mind when I think about strip clubs is this is awkward is like number seven. You’re not wrong. It just doesn’t hit the. It doesn’t come up in like my concerns. And so a little bit lower on the list. Uh, let’s listen to this voicemail. Hi, Rhett and Link. Um, my name is Savannah. I’m from Washington state. Um, I have a question since you guys are both fathers and married and in loving relationships. Um, I’m expecting my first child in March and I’m just wondering how much. Sex changes after a baby mean my fiance are very much in love and then we have a pretty good lifestyle when it comes to that. So I just don’t want that to go away. Um, be good to see your input. Uh, hear your input. All right. Thank you. Bye. Good question. Well, As far as I understand it, it stretches out, but then it goes back. Okay. All right. Okay. Thanks for that. It’s a man. It’s really amazing that I don’t know if that’s the, what the question was about, but yeah. Okay. No, we’ve only had C sections. So, that’s why I’m saying as far as I understand it. Oh, okay. Well, yeah. But I pretty much know that’s how it works. It goes back, yeah. It goes back. So you’ll be fine. I don’t know if that was what the question was referring to. Uh, but it, yeah, it stretches out, it comes back. Um, it will impact your sex life. Having a child will impact your sex life. For the following potential reasons. It’s the worst part about having children is that it makes it hard to not have a negative impact on your sex life. There, I don’t believe that there is any world in which if you were having a whole lot of sex before you had kids it will be very challenging to continue to have that much sex after kids. Right, I mean just Because every single thing Sheer hours in a day. Every single thing from the physicality of depending on the nature of the, uh, the delivery. There is a minimum amount of time that you’re supposed to wait. And then if there are complications or, you know, It could be even longer than that. But basically for the rest of your non-adult kid having life, you got kids in the house, then you gotta navigate that as some sort of a challenge, some sort of a barrier to intimacy. Well think about when you have your, your parents over to your house. If you’re a couple that doesn’t have kids or you have a guest over, like how does having someone else in your home impact. Your propensity to have sex, right? It’s like, well, okay, well, we got to have the door locked. Oh, we can’t be as loud as we would be if no one was here. Those two things alone work against you. And so I, we can’t have that stove sex that we have grown. So we can’t have sex in every room kind of situation, you know, and also. You’re going to be more tired, because you’re not going to be getting sleep, because that little bastard is going to keep you up, and then, so you’re tired, which takes away from libido, all these things. And so, I think that what you said in your voicemail when you were like, we want to continue to have, I can’t remember how you said it, you want to continue to have sex. I think that’s the most important thing, is that you have the conversation. Where you acknowledge that the dynamics of having a child are going to make our sex life more challenging. Which means, that if we’re going to continue to have a healthy sex life, that’s satisfying and both of us can be content. Then we need to be communicative about that desire. And what things might need to be in place in order to make sure that we, you know, you gotta get on the defensive a little bit. You got, that little kid is going to attack. Your sanity and your restfulness and your libido. And, but I can say as someone who’s had two children, I have, as I, at this point, I have a more satisfying sex life than I did before the children, but that’s simply a function of what we talked about when we answered that earlier question about just figuring it out, being more in sync and that kind of thing. But that leads to wanting to have sex more often. I think when you’re, when you’re doing it, right. I think you’ve got. To completely come to grips with the fact that the best laid plans to get laid or laid to rest by children, you got to deal with it. And the more you can coordinate and plan and counteract it, it’s something to be counteracted, which. Has the word act in it. You have to be strategic and about prioritizing and protecting a sacred space. And, um, I mean, literally the space and the time and the frequency and all of these things are like, Okay, you gotta, you know, the more you can discuss it, develop a game plan. It takes work to keep prioritizing it. Some people, I, I have known stories, friends of friends, from the past. It can get away from you. Where a child, you know, a lot of people sleep with their kids in the bed. I’m not gonna, I’m not, I’m not a doctor, I’m not a pediatrician, I’m not gonna tell you what you should and shouldn’t do, okay? But. Let’s say you are one of those couples that has made a decision that your child is going to sleep in your bed with you. Um, well, that is going to impact your sex life significantly. To the point that it becomes another factor that’s thrown on top of this stew that is working against you having sex. So it’d be like, okay, if you’re a couple that keeps, that keeps a child in the bed for what, for your reasons, then it could be like, well, where, when you going to have sex? Does that mean that like, well, we need to have a crib outside of the bed, which, you know, first of all, I’m not a doctor. I’m saying, you know, You’re not really supposed to sleep with a newborn because it’s dangerous. I mean I can say that but like look, whatever like There needs to be a place that you can put the child that’s not in the same room So you can have sex and if you don’t have that conversation I’m just using that as a kind of an extreme example because I know of couples Right who have stopped having sex after children and one of the factors was the kids always in the room with them at night and you might and if If you don’t have Like the foresight that that’s going to happen. You might just back into, Hey, we’re bringing the baby home. And this is, you just find yourself doing things. You’re coping and you’re, you’re trying to keep your head above water, but becoming a parent. So you can find yourself. In the midst of habits and practices that have unanticipated side effects, including we’re no longer physically intimate. So, you can find yourself there, and we’re just warning you. And also, that can happen if kids aren’t even a factor. It can happen, I think it’s like People stop having sex all the time. For all types of reasons, and it’s like, it’s just Because it’s an easy thing to deprioritize or to put off. And listen, you may be like, we don’t have sex, neither of us want to, and okay, I, we’re not saying you have to have sex in order to have a healthy relationship, we’re just saying, if one or both of you wants to have sex, and that sex isn’t happening, and you’re not talking about it, this will not be the only problem in your relationship. There will be, so I think that, I’m assuming the person who called in and said, I want to keep having sex. Well, I’m assuming that you’re talking to your partner about it. And if you’re not, then you’re probably not talking about your sex life already. But if you have a healthy communication about your sex life, then preparing for things like, Oh, how’s this child going to impact our sex life? And what are we going to do about it? Just having that conversation and continuing that conversation, regardless if it’s about kids or if it’s about physical injury, or if it’s about, um, depression, all kinds of things that can kind of take you out of the mood. The moment the conversation stops. Most likely the sex stops, you know, that’s that we always say it. Oh, usually the answer to just about everything is Communication keep talking about or go to a strip club. All right, you can’t communicate with me at a strip club That’s the one place you’re not allowed to communicate with me No eye contact. Great. . Great. Fine, great. I, I know for a fact exactly, exactly that I would not be able to enjoy myself at a strip club with you. I don’t even have any plans to go. I already knew that. I’m glad that I convinced you mission accomplished. The one thing we didn’t talk about at all is that. There is the, I, it didn’t cross my mind and I don’t want to, I’m not trying to sound important here, but I might get recognized at a strip club and that is something that is a factor, right? I, I, I go into long John silvers and sometimes I’m worried about getting recognized, you know what I’m saying? But that is a strip club. I mean, have you seen the name? It’s like, depending on where I’m at, it is silver. And so then I have to have. I have to have a fan conversation with somebody. Big fan! I don’t want that to happen there. Bigger fan than normal right now. Big fan, you horny like me! What if it’s a stripper who’s giving you a lap dance and then telling you that they’re a fan of the show? I would run away. I would run away from that situation. I’m not going to get in that kind of trouble, Jenna. We are so, you know what? We get in the car and go back home. We’ve been, we’ve been, we’ve been spared so many awkward problems. Uh, one more line that, that, that guy should use. Oh yes, please, please. Okay, cause really, it’s about, it’s about how the men in these novels use their words. Okay, I got that. Okay, yeah, here you go. This is a good one, uh, that could be utilized in a lot of different ways. So, take it from, uh, um, this is Rhys talking to Feyre, there’s some flirty banter going back and forth. She calls him some silly name or something and he goes, Let’s see what names you call me when my head is between your legs. Oh, okay. Take that one home with you. Okay, my boy. There you go.
