Your Mileage May Vary

A kind listener wrote in to ask some questions and to provide us with what I have to admit is a pretty good audio of her masturbation session and orgasm. I want to mention this up front, because we'd certainly like to receive more content like this in the future. From women. Not from men. But also, if you like listening to women orgasm, you should consider listening to this episode now. What would you do if you proposed an MFM threesome to your female partner, whom you'd never provided an orgasm through intercourse alone, and within the first minute of the other man penetrating her she had an orgasm. A pretty crushing situation for the man, and confusing for the woman. She's thinking, "He's going to be so happy I had fun." He's wondering, "Why is this other guy's cock so much more effective than mine?" What's going on in a situation where a woman feels so unable to refuse sex that even when she has Covid she feels obligated. And, is she really proud to be able to offer him "all three holes"? Or is it just som

Threesome trouble stories are our bread and butter, and this episode is no exception. We have both an MMF and an MFF tale of woe to bring to you. Then there's this question about how much less pleasure men get from sex when wearing a condom. Keith says it's "a lot worse." Women don't care that much about PIV sex in many instances anyway, so what's even the point? But look I don't want to bury the lede too much here. We discussed just how much money it would take in various instances for Keith to be willing to engage in gay sex. It's pretty expensive, but there's a wide range depending on exactly what he has to do. Maybe one of our listeners/benefactors will step up to the plate and make it happen? We discuss whether a woman should prefer giving the first 90 percent of a blowjob or the last 10 percent. It's honestly not clear. And a word on glory holes. I've never rightly seen someone using one in person. For me they operate more as a sort of philosophical entity, useful for distinguishing what exactly you'd b

Soaking is the practice of placing the penis in the vagina but not moving, presumably to enjoy intimacy with a partner but without violating religious strictures against premarital sex. We discuss a couple who soaked while watching a movie, but then the situation got too intense and progressed from the figurative to the literal. Keith attended some sort of Ketamine-fueled San Francisco Eyes Wide Shut party, complete with a naked hot tub. His claim was his eyes were focused on the view of the bridge and the bay. That's not what I would have been looking at. Mike only likes submissive eye contact, not the kind that searches for a true interpersonal connection. Seems normal. And we investigate the details of a camgirl's menu. Frankly, she's missing the point. Camgirls need to take charge and show a real interest in the proceedings. Just the presence of a menu suggests a passive, somewhat uninterested role. That's not what men want when they're hunting for online sex. To check out the menu discussed at the begin

I wanted to start off by saying that we haven't done any original research into this question of whether dentists can easily discern which people have recently given oral sex to a man. But it seems plausible, and assuming it's true, it's a pretty funny situation. It's usually the woman who has to work around men not being able to "go the distance" during sex, but what if the gender roles were reversed? How would a man tolerate a situation where the woman orgasmed very quickly and then lost all interest in sex? What is the right level of pregnancy protection? Especially if the partners trust each other? And, if they don't trust each other, does each partner need a form of protection that he or she controls?

This week I interviewed Stephanie Sellars who both wrote and appeared in the movie Lust Life Love, about the experiences of people in the polyamorous lifestyle. I enjoyed the movie thoroughly, watched it twice and took notes. Without giving too much away, some things I wondered about were the prevalence of MFF versus MMF situations in poly arrangements. How important are ground rules, and is poly a lifestyle choice that can work long-term. The film depicts a polyamorous club/party scene which frankly surprised me. I always imagine such situations as mostly dominated by men looking for hookups or partners, but I learned that the film is based heavily in reality. As often happens with these subjects, I found myself wondering what's in it for each person. I get that the most obvious thing straight man gets out of polyamory is multiple partners. But what about other folks, and is that really the main reason a straight man would do it? And, is polyamory a lifestyle or something you're born wanting to do? For more

Going through Aella's "scientific" studies is a pretty interesting exercise, so I decided to dedicate part of this episode to her findings. She uncovers data about fetishes, the definition of rape, political and gender differences. Down to the nitty gritty, a man is trying to figure out if his thrusting technique is sub-par, made more difficult by his issues with premature ejaculation. A couple men have issues giving oral sex to women. A woman wonders whether she really is too pretty to give a good blowjob. And, is it compelling at all to women when men "slap" their vulvae, either with their hand or their penis? Here are links to Aella's scientific work: https://ymmv.me/105/fetishes-1 https://ymmv.me/105/fetishes-2 https://ymmv.me/105/autogynephilia https://ymmv.me/105/rape To see Uncle T's most recent episode, here's a link: https://ymmv.me/105/uncle-t We get a lot of our questions from Reddit, so for our listeners' enjoyment, here are links to some of the questions we discussed this week: https://ymmv.me

I make it my mission to avoid talking about intimacy wherever possible. I prefer to focus instead on "hard-core porn," which I believe better aligns with the realities of life. But, as Britney Spears sang in her hit song, "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart": "You put a dart through my dreams, through my heart." And so it is that we discussed at decent length the final destination of relationships where the sex stops. I would genuinely like to have better news for our listeners, but I'm afraid it's typically a sign things aren't going to get much better, and they'll likely get much worse. We also discuss women's various challenges communicating to partners their intentions and desires. What if they just want cuddling and not sex? How is it even possible to communicate this to a partner? What if instead they want a real man's man; a real protector? Should they ask a man to rough them up in bed? And what to do if a woman says no to a sexual encounter once, only to realize she really wants a relationship with th

We discuss Keith's past and future in response to a listener email asking for more details. A woman wants to know whether she should continue seeing a man after he made pretty aggressive comments about her labia. Another woman is concerned that her boyfriend's interest in semen, revealed while high, might be a dealbreaker. We discuss folks who fetishize finding pornographic content on Youtube. And, what are penises supposed to smell like? Finally, As it's the beginning of the month of February, I asked ChatGPT to compose me an Ode To Stupidity, which it did. Here's an excerpt for your enjoyment: Ode to Stupidity Oh, Stupidity, you ever-present blight, Your presence taints us day and night. You bring us down and make us weak, Your power is a force to be reckoned with. You crush our hopes and dreams, You make us doubt our worth and schemes. Your toxic presence makes us doubt our minds, Your power has no bounds or binds. You spread like wildfire and consume all in your path, Your destruction is a sight to beho

It's hard when the most important event in your life is Reddit's decision to progressively shut down the subreddits where you find porn. I guess it's easier if you have tastes that are pretty standard. Hell, even foot fetishists get a lot of attention -- bizarrely, even on VR porn sites. But if you're someone who just likes reasonable people appearing to enjoy themselves, then you're pretty much SOL. And that's not even mentioning the weirdos who use /r/gonewildaudio and stare at the wall while listening. Next topic: We debated what's going on when women complain that they're not able to locate sugar daddies. Not surprisingly, one side of the argument boils it all down to youth and attractiveness. The other side is something about strategy, I think. If a man you're sleeping with excuses himself to the bathroom every time he orgasms, what is this indicating? And, should a woman be upset if, after a successful MFF threesome, she awakes to find her significant other engaged in coitus with the unicorn without eve

What would cause a woman to detect a sudden change in the odor of her boyfriend or husband's penis? Absent a significant hygiene change, there only seem to be a few options. What would motivate a sugar daddy to give his sugar baby her entire annual allowance up front in January? Is he setting himself up for a problem? What about her? Seems like a pretty serious problem for the relationship in general. Will she dump him, or stay as she claims? Are aggressive fantasies an indication that there's something wrong with your personality and/or sex drive? Are there limits to acceptable fantasy topics? And, why would a female FWB start asking for "aftercare"?

In a nod to the ladies, we spend a considerable amount of time this episode discussing the experience of being "ghosted" after having sex with a man on the "third date." It seems like a painful but perhaps unavoidable experience. It also seems more likely to happen to someone the man doesn't want his friends to meet, or who is generally less attractive than his target demographic. I was inclined to title this episode, "The Ghost in the Cumbox" -- but I realized that wouldn't really make much sense, as we didn't really even talk about cumboxes. We did, however, discuss a particular woman's disgust with her man's semen. Is it the semen, or is it him? (It's him) We did not, however, discuss the fact that I got ChatGPT to write me a story about a woman somehow penetrating a man's penis during the act of sex. At first, I thought maybe it was talking about sounding, but then I realized it was just confused about how sex worked. If you want to hide somewhere and give your girlfriend oral sex while she's at work in s

We conduct a review of some of the latest trends in porn watching, according to PornHub. Here's the full report if you're interested in reviewing it: https://ymmv.me/99/trends Keith wonders if it would be easier or harder for him to find high-quality partners if he were gay. There's general agreement that finding partners would become easier, but quality is the key metric there. What do men really mean when they announce that they're close? Is it generally possible for them to hold off? And do women actually care, or are they just looking for the experience to last longer to have more intimacy (i.e. more foreplay)? Two men have female partners who want more dominance. And another didn't realize he and his girlfriend were having anal sex until she told him. Is this consensual?

Keith doesn't think women should include pictures of their mothers with them in dating profiles. Mike thinks it makes lots of sense to do so. You can be the judge on this one, but a hint is it may just be a test of whether you're short- or long-term dating oriented. And this after Keith shamed Mike for sharing some pictures of "some prostitutes" earlier in the day. They were thousand-dollar escorts, thank you very much. High-end ladies of the night! Would a man always choose sex with a virtual partner who required no before-care or after-care over masturbating? Probably. But, he also would likely pick masturbation over a real partner a significant percentage of the time. Who wouldn't? Now, to Keith's enjoyment of still images of young ladies as part of his onanistic portfolio. Now, I prefer talkies, or at the very least moving images. At an absolute minimum, I like to watch a video of, say, a train moving in and out of a tunnel repeatedly. But I do have some grudging respect a man who is still anchored in 19t

This week, we do a rather extensive review of the https://ymmv.me/97/two-x-chromosomes subreddit, which is a notoriously tricky maneuver for two men. Discussion includes various complaints women have about men or inequality with men, including consent, body counts, porn viewing habits, and orgasm access. Here are the topics we target from that subreddit: https://ymmv.me/97/consent https://ymmv.me/97/body-count https://ymmv.me/97/porn https://ymmv.me/97/orgasm A quick shout-out to Uncle T, who is back in action with some new content: https://ymmv.me/97/uncle-t. And, another shout-out to Keith's instagram thirst trap woman: https://ymmv.me/97/thirsty A questioner can hear her parents having sex and wants to know what to do. Another is probably on the road to a breakup, as her boyfriend says she's boring in bed. A man jizzed his pants when slapped by a woman, and a woman found increased water intake led to much better lubrication and orgasms. We get a lot of our questions from Reddit, so for our listeners' en

ChatGPT writes us a pretty targeted literotica piece, for Keith. For those who might be interested, yes I definitely had to provide it with some of the source material, specifically the bits about pegging and basketball players. The story is admittedly a little formulaic, but it did come up with some crucial words, like talking about a "glob" of semen. We discuss a man who appears to have permanently, and negatively, altered his penis -- allegedly through use of a penis pump, though maybe something else was involved. Should sugar daddies give a "PPM" on a first date? Most guys on sugar lifestyle forum say no, but we have a different opinion. Another MMF situation arises, this time a man who it turns out is bisexual. The woman isn't too pleased, but she's too politically correct to pin the blame squarely on her discomfort with his orientation. And, another woman dumps a guy for not having a good enough "sex face." I think this is a real thing -- it's that women want their men to appear serious about their sex

Mike makes a tremendous effort to get ChatGPT to generate literotica and answer sex questions. Essentially, the question is whether an AI can replace our jobs here at YMMV. Results are better than you might have expected, but we're not afraid for our jobs quite yet. After dispensing with a rare piece of positive feedback on the podcast, Mike takes on some sex worker discussions, including how to handle requests for dick ratings and how many clients are seen in any given day. A woman wants to know if it's ok to masturbate while in the bed near her sister who is supposedly sleep. Another woman finds cum just unacceptable. And yet another experiences the "wrong hole" moment as her partner isn't as careful as he could have been when withdrawing and re-inserting his penis.

Camgirls should pay particular attention to this episode, as we let them in on the secret that it's really their personality which wins over guys, not the action of slowly sawing a dildo in and out of their vaginas for hours on end. Indeed, one camgirl specifically complains that she's tired of all the dildonics, which makes plenty of sense. Keith points out that one of the most successful female streamers in the world, Amouranth, doesn't really have to do it in the nude. Keith wants to know exactly why he sees so many ads for "Prep", given that it's a product used primarily by those in the gay community, along with sex workers. A comprehensive discussion of dating apps and strategies is had, along with some conversation about whether some form of transactions or explicit transactionality would improve the experience for all concerned. Which leads naturally to talk of OnlyFans. Mike is surprised to learn that Keith is a customer! We also have a conversation about male and female size anxiety. And, why do wome

It's that time of year again when I try to stuff the podcast title and description with as many keywords as Apple will allow. But, we did cover quite a few sex-related topics this week, so the effort was by no means wasted. There seems to be this confusion men have about how women are likely to think about them "wiggling" their anuses to try to encourage their partners to pay more attention to them. For most women, it's not going to be their favorite thing to have happen. It's not in the standard script, you might say. And it calls into question the very type of relationship that you're after. Same goes for intensive threesome requests, voyeur stuff, and even going to Vegas and visiting sex clubs and Shibari classes. Sure, you can do those things, but people are going to wonder if you're pushing the boundaries a bit further than necessary ... and why? Then there's this boredom/free-use kink we're hearing a lot about. Maybe it's a solution to sex drive mismatches? But aren't there some basic hygiene questions

A man accused us of not understanding how someone can be completely, totally straight and yet still enjoy being on the receiving end of a good pegging. Now, on some level that may occasionally be true, but it makes sense to me that it pushes you a bit "to the left" on the spectrum. And, it could even be a gateway drug, moving you from MFM land to the world of MMF. But maybe that's just the gabapentin talking. Next, what would you do if a couple barged into your room and started having sex right in front of you? Would you watch? Participate? Sneak off to the bathroom to masturbate? One woman enjoys showing up to her boyfriend's apartment completely nude and unannounced. Another wants to know if men are bothered by her looking "a mess" while giving blowjobs. And yet another woman has a list of very specific demands to initiate and FWB situation with an ex. We get a lot of our questions from Reddit, so for our listeners' enjoyment, here are links to some of the questions we discussed this week: https://ymmv.me/

Squirting is a tricky subject, and doubly so when your partner insists on some measure of cleanliness (and dryness) in his bedding materials. Is it reasonable for a woman to be irritated that a man dumped her more or less immediately because she squirted? I mean, isn't that a pretty good indication that she was very into him? Closer to home, we continue our discussions of sugar dating, probing the specific differences between vanilla dating, sugar dating and prostitution. How malleable is the female response during sex and in a relationship more broadly? And, what is behind the bizarre behaviors from young women around sex and commitment A woman is irritated at a man for not having a condom with him for their first sexual encounter, another isn't sure why her partner wants to see her small breasts. And, a man feels emasculated by his partner's vibrator.
