Another episode of Airplay. 

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,120
Fresh at it and I am so excited.
This fiery redhead. 

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,080
You may have recognized her from
the UK television show on 

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,000
Channel 4. 
Great sex experiment if you 

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,280
haven't. 
She's been featured on Mirror, 

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,680
People magazine, Daily Mail, and
so much more. 

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,320
I'm talking about Doctor Laurie 
Beth Bisbee, a therapist, sex 

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,960
and intimacy coach, author, 
speaker, and just all around bad

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,600
motherfucker on here and I am 
just so excited and truly 

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,319
honored to have her on the show.
You know what we got to do? 

19
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,560
We got to welcome the rowdy frat
boys to properly bring in Doctor

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:14,800
Lori Beth Bisbee. 
I bet you've never had an intro 

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,840
like that before, have you? 
No. 

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,800
So as you can tell Doctor Lori 
Beth, we are freely spoken here.

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,520
You could be yourself and I'm 
just truly honored to have you. 

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,760
I, I feel like in my own journey
into alternative relationships 

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,360
and just getting to know, you 
know, my own self. 

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,520
I have you to credit for as well
as study Megatron 2 fiery 

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,160
redheads of the alternative 
relationships and sex and dating

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,640
BDSM culture. 
I mean, I don't think there's a 

29
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,440
piece of literature or any type 
of advice this column that 

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,080
doesn't have you or her, if not 
together on, you know, talking 

31
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,760
about these alternative 
relationships. 

32
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,560
And I absolutely love it 
because, I mean, you're looking 

33
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,720
at yourself. 
You are not the typical 

34
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,400
therapist that we see. 
You know, you have this fiery 

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,880
personality. 
You, you really just just shine 

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,680
with it. 
And I got to say, over 30 years,

37
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,080
I believe you're now hitting 
almost 35, if not almost into 

38
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,160
the 40s. 40 years of sex and 
information, just the evolution.

39
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:29,200
How do you do it? 
I mean, you know, I've been, I 

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,960
just love what I do. 
That's how I do it. 

41
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,880
I love what I do. 
I've been working with people 

42
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,600
for 38 years now. 
And. 

43
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,240
Yeah, I and I've done all sorts 
of different things and this is 

44
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,320
a theme throughout the work that
I've done in terms of working 

45
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,760
with people to help them with 
sex and relationships. 

46
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,640
At some points in my career 
less, at some points in my 

47
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:51,920
career more. 
And now I spend a lot of my time

48
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,120
doing this and and I just have a
fall. 

49
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,320
I love what I do. 
I love it Now, being polyamorous

50
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,800
now, if I'm not mistaken, you 
kind of evolved into your 

51
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,240
bisexuality because of 
polyamory, is that correct? 

52
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:08,960
Nope. 
No, I was always bisexual. 

53
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,880
Always bisexual? 
How did you just know? 

54
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,960
Like right off the bat, you 
know, a lot of us kind of evolve

55
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,560
into a childhood. 
How did you discover your 

56
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,680
bisexuality? 
I was just I because my 

57
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,840
attractions really aren't about 
gender. 

58
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,680
So I'm I'm using bisexual, but 
it's not really correct, a 

59
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,280
correct use of the term. 
They're not about gender. 

60
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,920
They have to do with the energy 
of the person and, and sexually 

61
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,440
I, I like dominant people. 
So it's about that. 

62
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,000
So, you know, I was attracted to
the energy and then the, the 

63
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,240
particular body they were in 
didn't really matter to me. 

64
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,400
And that was always the case 
from the time I was small all 

65
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,360
the way through. 
And so polyamorous was something

66
00:03:52,360 --> 00:04:00,360
that it took me a little longer 
to figure out how to do. 

67
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,640
I mean, actually, some of my 
early relationships, some of my 

68
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,960
best early relationships were 
polyamorous. 

69
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,240
Then I got monogamous for a 
while, a short while. 

70
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,480
Oh wow. 
And then I was back to then I 

71
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,079
was back to being open it. 
It just made the most sense for 

72
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:18,279
me. 
It worked best for me. 

73
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,960
It was most comfortable for me 
as long as it was all above 

74
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:23,360
board. 
I. 

75
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Love that. 
So that was that was the 

76
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,960
important bit to me. 
I I can't stand being lied to 

77
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,320
and I don't like to lie so. 
You know, I think we, you know, 

78
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,800
similarly, I'm the same way. 
Like, please don't lie to me. 

79
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,680
Details are everything. 
And I feel like especially in 

80
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,560
alternative relationships, you 
got to work for it. 

81
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,400
And I love how you have used 
that. 

82
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,040
You work for it. 
You have to be trustworthy. 

83
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,920
You have to be open. 
And I think for me personally, 

84
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,880
the biggest annoyance as I'm, 
you know, getting ready to get 

85
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,520
married, the biggest question 
that I absolutely hate that 

86
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,440
people ask me is, OK, so now 
that you're getting married, 

87
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,760
does that mean polyamory just 
goes away? 

88
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,560
And I'm like, why would it? 
Why would something that created

89
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,160
the relationship and bond that 
I'm in just simply disappear? 

90
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,840
Because now by law, man and 
woman are getting married. 

91
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,080
Have you ever felt that same 
feeling? 

92
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,640
And I think people that what 
people don't understand, I think

93
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,520
where you get that question from
is that people think that the 

94
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,920
baseline is monogamy. 
So there are a lot of people out

95
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,600
there that would call themselves
non monogamous that are actually

96
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,760
non monogamous until they meet 
what they figure is the one. 

97
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:41,120
So they're not really non 
monogamous. 

98
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,920
What they're really doing is 
dating, which is what we did. 

99
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,640
You know, I'm, I'm older, I'm 
62. 

100
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,960
So, you know, in my day, you 
know, we were dating and then 

101
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,440
eventually we met somebody and 
we settle down, right. 

102
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,000
If you were going to be 
monogamous, and I think so, a 

103
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,720
lot of the people who identify 
as non monogamous who are very 

104
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,680
young, many of them, and I've 
watched this transition for so 

105
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,080
many people suddenly meet 
someone, fall in love and become

106
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,640
monogamous. 
And so for me, I would query 

107
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,120
whether they were really non 
monogamous to begin with, right,

108
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,080
or really polyamorous to begin 
with, because polyamory is 

109
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,200
different. 
Polyamory is about 

110
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,640
relationships, whereas non 
monogamy can be relationship 

111
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,200
sex. 
You know, it's, it's, it's, it's

112
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,360
the umbrella term. 
And so I would question that. 

113
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,160
But also, I think we're very, 
you know, we're indoctrinated 

114
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:39,800
into the idea of monogamy. 
And so, you know, we can have, I

115
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:45,440
call it a monogamy hangover 
where you can, you know, you 

116
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,760
suddenly find yourself thinking 
in very monogamous terms, even 

117
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,520
though you you've not been 
monogamous for some time. 

118
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,680
So like, people get really 
uncomfortable sometimes people 

119
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,280
are like, oh, do I need to get 
married? 

120
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:00,640
Do I need to live with somebody?
What does it need to look like? 

121
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,200
Because the expectations of 
society are still there. 

122
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,440
They don't go away just because 
you decide to live in an 

123
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,440
alternative lifestyle. 
I am so. 

124
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,800
Happy expectations of society. 
I am so happy that you are 

125
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,320
listening all this because 
literally this is the constant 

126
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,080
conversation that I have with 
you know, folks is you know, 

127
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,800
again, like you said, non 
monogamy is an umbrella term. 

128
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,880
Then you have polyamory which is
more involved in the 

129
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,480
relationships. 
Now, I myself am trying to, I'm 

130
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,720
a intimacy coordinator and one 
of the things that we talked 

131
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,920
about were the relationship 
styles, breaking them down, you 

132
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,280
know, in case for those who are 
on set may not understand. 

133
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:45,600
And I think the biggest peeve, 
pet peeve for me in the industry

134
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,240
and especially working in media 
is how much we get polyamory, 

135
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:56,600
polygamy, you know, non monogamy
all into each other. 

136
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,360
And it's like no, no, no, no, 
no, no, no. 

137
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,520
There are separate entities of 
this. 

138
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,640
There are people like myself and
probably yourself who get 

139
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,400
offended when it's not 
represented in the right way. 

140
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,720
Not all couples, you know, want 
to be non monogamous. 

141
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,800
There are people who might be in
A1 sided polyamorous 

142
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,600
relationship and all these 
different things and it's like 

143
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,640
whenever the again, when it 
comes to the factor of marriage,

144
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,240
it doesn't just go away. 
It doesn't just go away. 

145
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Some people like myself, evolve 
into it, evolve into the idea of

146
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,799
marriage and have that one 
partner that they're like, you 

147
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:40,880
know what, We can create a life 
together and still have our 

148
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:47,640
other ABCD relationships. 
I mean, we started, my husband 

149
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,000
and I, we started out non 
monogamous and we're still non 

150
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,040
monogamous. 
But you're non monogamy does 

151
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,520
change and things change. 
I mean, one of the things I 

152
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,440
think people don't pay attention
to is how much things change 

153
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:04,840
with life, life stage, right? 
You know, I've spent a lot of 

154
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,480
time recently talking about 
perimenopause and menopause and 

155
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,720
post menopause and what that 
means and how that impacts 

156
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,800
relationships. 
And so you know you can be 

157
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,960
happily non monogamous and hit 
full blown menopause and 

158
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,440
suddenly. 
Everything changes, yeah. 

159
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,280
Everything changes. 
Everything changes because your 

160
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,240
emotions are doing things. 
And so if you're emotionally up 

161
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,720
and down and up and down, if 
you're really angry all the time

162
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,440
or you're, you know, you're 
really having trouble and you, 

163
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,000
you and your partner are having 
more trouble communicating, you 

164
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,280
may not want to be branching out
at that point in time, or you 

165
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,560
may not want your partner to be 
branching out at that point in 

166
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:48,320
time. 
Another time that things can 

167
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,280
often change is when you decide 
to have children. 

168
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,320
It's not unusual for people to 
decide to nest for a period of 

169
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,760
time. 
So they will become monogamous 

170
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,560
for a period of time in order to
set a foundation for a 

171
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,520
particular task they're going to
do, you know, building a life 

172
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,200
together, raising children 
together. 

173
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,560
And then once they are feeling 
comfortable and secure back in 

174
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:13,320
their relationship again, 
they'll open up again. 

175
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,920
So it's, you know, it's people 
think of it as a always think 

176
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,800
about relationship styles as 
static. 

177
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,920
And they're not static. 
Oh, just like we're not static. 

178
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,320
Exactly, exactly. 
Oh my gosh, it's like you're 

179
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,640
reading my mind because the only
time that I could say that I was

180
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,240
partially monogamous was during 
quarantine, you know, 

181
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,360
quarantining with my now fiance.
I think it did help a little bit

182
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,320
as to getting the ring. 
We really did not think about 

183
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,320
marriage, kids until we were 
actually nesting together and 

184
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,000
still trying to balance out, you
know, how do we date in this new

185
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,920
normal now that, you know, the 
pandemic is over? 

186
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,960
And I put that in quotations 
because it's not over for 

187
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,200
everybody. 
Yeah, it's not over for me. 

188
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,920
I'm I'm immunosuppressed. 
So, you know, it's definitely 

189
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,920
not over for me. 
Yeah, I and I put. 

190
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,760
It it's over for some people, 
it's over for some. 

191
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,120
People and I definitely put the 
emphasis on that because again, 

192
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,040
I know like there are people 
like myself who are autoimmune 

193
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,720
who do get sickly easily. 
I try to mask up myself and it's

194
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,920
like, I don't know about you 
coming out of the pandemic and, 

195
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,520
you know, discovering this new 
normal, new energy to me is 

196
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,320
still kind of like, I don't 
know. 

197
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,600
I don't know if I can do it. 
I'm more careful. 

198
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,120
I'm certainly more careful 
because also because of people's

199
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,760
attitudes towards things like 
masking and stuff like that. 

200
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,200
I mean, for me, you know, in the
Far East, they mask all the time

201
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,360
because they have this idea that
they want to present themselves 

202
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,520
getting diseases and they want 
to prevent other people from 

203
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,280
being sick. 
And so it's not an unusual thing

204
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,320
if you ever travel, you know, 
and you see like Chinese and 

205
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,480
Japanese people traveling, they 
are always masked from start to 

206
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,480
finish, right? 
And that is been the normal for 

207
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,880
them for I don't know how long, 
but like a long time, a long, I 

208
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,520
don't ever remember it being 
different when I was aware of 

209
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:13,680
them traveling. 
So but you know, masking became 

210
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:16,560
a real political thing. 
And so people started being 

211
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:20,680
really rebellious about it and 
rebellious about testing and 

212
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:23,560
rebellious about being aware. 
We're in the situation in the UK

213
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:26,760
at the moment where we're going 
through a resurgence of COVID. 

214
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,920
And there are two new strains 
that are they're really big here

215
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,080
that are more contagious. 
They don't appear to be more, 

216
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,400
well, they don't appear to be 
more deadly. 

217
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,240
Well, that's useful. 
It's a nice thing to know, 

218
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,400
right? 
But they are more contagious, 

219
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:45,720
right? 
And, like, people are so weird 

220
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,080
when you're masking. 
I'll be sitting on a train full 

221
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,880
of people, and there will be 
nobody else on the train with a 

222
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,080
mask on their face. 
Yeah. 

223
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,880
And I'm like, you're sitting six
hours in close quarters with 

224
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,760
people who are coughing and 
whatever and whatever. 

225
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,360
Yeah. 
You must not care if you get 

226
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,560
sick, right? 
It's great if you it's great if 

227
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:07,560
you're young enough or you're 
healthy enough or both not to 

228
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:10,440
care if you get sick. 
When I get sick, it's a big 

229
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,560
deal. 
Exactly. 

230
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:13,400
I'm fucking out for the count. 
I could be. 

231
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,240
I mean, I can lose, you know, 
weeks trying to get myself back 

232
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,160
together to be able to do my 
job, to be able to just be out. 

233
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,200
So it definitely changed. 
I've, I had a surgery in in 

234
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,080
April. 
I had a my foot and ankle 

235
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,640
reconstructed because one of my 
autoimmune diseases screwed up 

236
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:34,240
and my arch completely 
collapsed. 

237
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,960
So wow. 
Do that or be in a wheelchair. 

238
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,760
So I wasn't willing to be in a 
wheelchair. 

239
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,560
So I've been recovering since 
April. 

240
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,280
And because it's a, it's a long 
recovery, but I, I've spent a 

241
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,160
lot of time, like not out and 
about. 

242
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:54,560
Yeah, I went down to London for 
a week last last week and it's 

243
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:58,440
like completely overwhelming to 
me, really the number of people,

244
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,760
the number just because I was, I
was so, you know, I was so 

245
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,440
separate, right, for that period
of time. 

246
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,640
And people's attitudes are just 
like, it's amazing. 

247
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,840
I had somebody say to me, why 
are you wearing a mask? 

248
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,800
I'm like, because I protecting 
myself. 

249
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,400
I don't want to get sick. 
Right. 

250
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,480
Oh my God. 
I can't believe somebody. 

251
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,440
Oh my God. 
I mean, people, most people 

252
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,840
don't say anything here because 
they don't. 

253
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,480
That's the way they are. 
But occasionally somebody will. 

254
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,200
And I'm like, first of all, why 
is it your fucking business, 

255
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,480
right? 
Exactly. 

256
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,120
I'm wearing a mask to protect 
me. 

257
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,160
I could be wearing a mask to 
protect you. 

258
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,200
I could have something really 
contagious, right? 

259
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,200
And that's the thing. 
And I. 

260
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,000
Could be wearing it. 
I'd rather you tell me that 

261
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,160
you're sick so that I can 
prevent myself from getting 

262
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,640
other people sick. 
Like I have to worry about a 

263
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,720
parent who has, I have three 
family members at the moment who

264
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,560
are dealing with different 
stages of cancer. 

265
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,320
So it's like I need to protect 
myself from them. 

266
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,800
You know, if I'm sick, they 
can't see me and vice versa. 

267
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,280
Then also, I have partners who 
are autoimmune or they have 

268
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,120
small children, All these 
things. 

269
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,880
It should matter, I feel like in
this day and age in dating. 

270
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,760
So I'm so glad that you're open 
about this, especially, you 

271
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,920
know, being a sex therapist, 
being a public figure. 

272
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,080
It's like people do need to 
understand that after the 

273
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,400
pandemic, we do need to take 
even the littlest of colds a 

274
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,680
little bit more seriously. 
The thing is, I lived through 

275
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,360
the AIDS epidemic, right? 
And so, you know, there are a 

276
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,160
lot of people alive today. 
Yeah, we have a resurgence of 

277
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,160
HIV because people aren't paying
attention. 

278
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,280
And we're still, and I know 
people be like worse, but we're 

279
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,120
still because we have effective 
ways of preventing HIV. 

280
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,560
If you're willing to take lots 
of heavy meds. 

281
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,000
I already take heavy meds. 
I wouldn't take Prep because I 

282
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,640
couldn't add that to what I'm 
taking. 

283
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,680
But so a lot of people are 
taking Prep, right? 

284
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,160
And that's preventing. 
There's now going to be they're,

285
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,040
they're really close to a 
vaccine. 

286
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,280
A lot of people are taking Prep,
yeah. 

287
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,920
That makes me very happy to 
know, very happy to. 

288
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,680
Know very happy except that 
people forget that there's a 

289
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:22,000
million other sexually 
transmitted infections that they

290
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,360
are like passing on because 
they're like oh I'm on Prep, I 

291
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,200
don't need to use condoms 
anymore. 

292
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,240
No, that's not the. 
I'm like. 

293
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,800
Yeah. 
I'm sorry, this isn't how it 

294
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:33,720
works. 
Yeah. 

295
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,920
So it's there's there's this 
whole kind of, well, there seems

296
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,760
to be a lot of education out 
there. 

297
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,760
It's really interesting to me 
how much education has been 

298
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,320
lost. 1000%. 
Because the people aren't under 

299
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,560
the pressure. 
Yeah. 

300
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,760
And when you're not under the 
pressure, it's similar to when 

301
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,640
people felt like society was 
more safe for this period of 

302
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,440
time. 
They didn't raise their children

303
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,320
with certain awarenesses that 
they might need to have if they 

304
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,079
were part of minority groups 
that they might need to have 

305
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:09,880
because they felt safe. 
And all of a sudden it isn't 

306
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,800
really all of a sudden, but all 
of a sudden people are feeling 

307
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,359
unsafe again. 
And they're having to kind of 

308
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,680
change the way that they 
interact with people, the way 

309
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,480
they speak with people and also 
the way they raise their kids. 

310
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,079
And so it's fascinating to me 
because the same thing happens 

311
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:25,400
with disease trajectories as 
well. 

312
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,560
It's, it's no different. 
People feel safe and they they 

313
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,120
let their guard down and. 
Then it's. 

314
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,960
Like, and I'm not and I'm in no 
way paranoid. 

315
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,560
Like I'm, I'm, I'm somebody 
who's a balanced risk taker. 

316
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,120
I like that. 
I mean, I've been different at 

317
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:43,760
different levels of risk in my 
life. 

318
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,800
When I was much younger, I was a
crazy risk taker. 

319
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,560
I stopped doing that, decided I 
wanted to live. 

320
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,640
So I said, OK, we're not going 
to do that anymore. 

321
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,640
And then for a little while, I 
took no risk. 

322
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,640
That didn't last very long. 
And I got to this stage where I 

323
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,080
balance risk and I, I risk 
assess all the time so that I 

324
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,920
can relax and do what I want to 
do. 

325
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,280
But we don't teach people how to
risk assess when it comes to 

326
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,960
relationships. 
We really don't. 

327
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,880
They risk assess for work. 
They risk assess all over the 

328
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,400
place. 
You know, if you're going out in

329
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,440
the city in the United States 
right now, before you walk out 

330
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,440
your door, you're risk assessing
what's going on. 

331
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,880
Is there a protest going on? 
You know, are there police out 

332
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,600
is ice out? 
What do I need to do in order to

333
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,000
make sure that I'm going to be 
safe? 

334
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,200
But relationships, they don't 
fucking risk assess at all. 

335
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,400
They do some stuff online, they 
go, they meet somebody, they 

336
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,720
jump into bed with them. 
They know nothing about them. 

337
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,000
Oh my God. 
And there it is. 

338
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,440
And you know what? 
It's, it's such a witch hunt 

339
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,960
because again, bringing all 
this, you know, full circle, 

340
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,760
there's this trajectory that 
those who are part of 

341
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:53,880
alternative relationships are 
disease carriers that we just 

342
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:57,240
freely go out and, and infect 
everybody. 

343
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:03,200
So let me let me tell you this. 
So this was on a very popular 

344
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,920
black blog called The Shade Room
and I'm sure it's been 

345
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,520
circulating all over TikTok. 
But a middle-aged black woman, I

346
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,080
want to say she's probably in 
her later 20s or 30s, definitely

347
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,360
comes from a place to hurt. 
But she says that those who have

348
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:23,880
HIV, AIDS and herpes should be 
registered on the sex offenders 

349
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,040
list. 
Jesus fuck. 

350
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,320
Right. 
And so I was like, as soon as 

351
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,720
you were just talking about, you
know, everything that we're 

352
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,800
talking about with risk 
management and assessment, I 

353
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,720
don't think people understand 
the degree. 

354
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,960
So Doctor Lori Beth, obviously 
you just reacted the way that I 

355
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,160
hope. 
So what are your takes on that? 

356
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,040
Because I know for me. 
I mean, I just think it's, it's 

357
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,680
just disgusting. 
I mean, it's just disgusting on 

358
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,880
the on the on the fucking sex 
offenders list. 

359
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,480
Really. 
What offense are you committing 

360
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,560
by having a disease? 
You know, The thing is when 

361
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,760
people, when people knowingly 
transmit a disease without so 

362
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,560
they go out, there have been 
people, there are people, a 

363
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,240
small number of people who go 
out to infect other people, 

364
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,120
right? 
They commit a crime by doing 

365
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:12,120
that because they're 
deliberately trying to harm 

366
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:16,120
somebody, right? 
But the vast majority of people,

367
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:19,680
when infection gets passed on, 
it's either because both parties

368
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,800
were careless or somebody didn't
know. 

369
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,720
It's very that's often the case.
Very often. 

370
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,640
It is, you know, it really sucks
if somebody didn't tell you that

371
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,440
they had something and then you 
got it. 

372
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,480
That really sucks. 
And yes, you can be mad about 

373
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,120
it, but that's not a sex 
offense. 

374
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,320
I agree. 
And we all have to take 

375
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,840
something. 
We all have to take some 

376
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,560
responsibility for ourselves. 
This is the part where I get 

377
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,520
really annoyed because I my 
experience is that people don't 

378
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,080
take responsibility for 
themselves. 

379
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,520
They're really willing to point 
fingers at other people, but 

380
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,960
they don't take responsibilities
for themselves. 

381
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,320
It isn't victim blaming to say 
that you need to take care of 

382
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,120
yourself, right? 
I never understand. 

383
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:02,680
Doesn't mean you won't. 
Yeah, you won't get hurt. 

384
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,240
Doesn't mean you won't get hurt.
Doesn't mean you won't get 

385
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,000
victimized, but it makes it less
likely. 

386
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,160
I agree. 
I don't know, I it, it, it 

387
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,920
confuses the hell out of me by 
asking to see someone's test 

388
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,760
results. 
It's such a big thing. 

389
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,600
It's like, don't you want to 
know somebody's history? 

390
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,880
Like I, I don't even mess around
with people that say, well, I've

391
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,960
been monogamous for, you know, 
710 years. 

392
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,000
You know, I've never had 
anything. 

393
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,560
So you can trust me, but I need 
to see your papers because you 

394
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,520
have, you know, 10 partners. 
I'm like, you do know that even 

395
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,640
one partner, monogamous, non 
monogamous can give you 

396
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,760
something? 
I mean, I have to tell you that,

397
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,640
you know, first of all, most non
monogamous people don't have 10 

398
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,800
partners right there, right? 
That's not that's not and and 

399
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,600
only certain sections of the 
population. 

400
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,960
If you're a swinger, you might 
have lots of partners, but 

401
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,640
you're but you're also, if 
you're part of that community, 

402
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,000
more likely to test more often. 
Exactly. 

403
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,760
At least the modern form of that
community, because everybody's 

404
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,920
aware of what the what the 
issues are, right? 

405
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,640
And because a lot of people in 
that community are married and 

406
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,400
they're swinging together and 
they don't want to get each 

407
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,840
other anything. 
So, you know, so there's a lot 

408
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,160
more testing that goes on in 
that community than in the kind 

409
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,360
of more general non monogamy 
communities where you get 

410
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:31,600
different values and different 
things from people. 

411
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,920
But as a, as a community, people
who are non monogamous are much 

412
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,080
more likely to go and test. 
And people who are monogamous 

413
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,120
and stepping out on their 
partners or, or coming out of 

414
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:46,440
monogamy and just starting to 
kind of dabble because you're, 

415
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,480
you're hyper aware of the fact 
that that the, the likelihood of

416
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,120
getting a disease increases with
the number of people you're 

417
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:56,160
exposed to. 
That's simple math, right? 

418
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,960
It's not about whether people 
are more likely to be carrying a

419
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,080
disease. 
It's just if you put more people

420
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,800
in my way, it's more likely that
one of them will have something.

421
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,840
And what is it like One, it's 
like 3 out of five or one in 

422
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:13,760
four people have herpes or some 
form of an STDSCI or will in 

423
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,160
fact come across it in their 
lifetime. 

424
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:19,120
It's not to say that it's not 
incurable either. 

425
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,080
The thing about herpes though, 
is this that people don't 

426
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,560
realize that, that you're more 
likely to run into a person with

427
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:33,000
oral herpes that then passes 
that on to your genitals because

428
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,280
they had the beginning of a cold
sore and didn't think it was a 

429
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:42,120
problem to have oral sex, right?
So it's like, you know, if the 

430
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:46,440
incidence of, of oral herpes is 
about 98% of the population. 

431
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,480
So, you know, if you've got the 
beginning tingling of a cold 

432
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,280
sore, you shouldn't be kissing 
anybody. 

433
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,680
Can we please repeat that 
please? 

434
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,040
Like, you know, I'm serious. 
The number of times people do 

435
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,000
that, they're like, oh, don't 
worry about it. 

436
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,040
I'm like, that's fucking 
contagious. 

437
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,520
You do understand that's 
contagious? 

438
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,200
The other people don't really 
think. 

439
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,960
People don't realize is that 
herpes is a virus that stays in 

440
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,080
the body. 
Exactly. 

441
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,160
So and, and is all is related to
chicken pox and shingles. 

442
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,120
That's why all of us, once you 
hit the age of 50, they're 

443
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:21,040
vaccinating you for shingles, 
right? 

444
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,120
Because it's dormant. 
And sometimes it becomes 

445
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:26,600
undormant. 
And shingles can be just painful

446
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,680
or it can be horrific. 
So, you know, these things are 

447
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,640
really important where herpes is
really dangerous. 

448
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,440
It's like if you have herpes and
you give birth to a baby 

449
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,440
vaginally and the child can get 
herpes in their eyes, right? 

450
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,480
It can be really bad scenes. 
So you need to know about these 

451
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,400
things. 
But it isn't always genital 

452
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,760
herpes that is the thing, like 
oral herpes in some ways I 

453
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,680
think, I think feel like people 
with genital herpes are more 

454
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,920
likely to come out and say, 
well, I have genital herpes, 

455
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,280
right? 
And then everybody's like 

456
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,400
careful around them and they're 
careful. 

457
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,920
But people with oral herpes 
never say anything. 

458
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,680
Never do. 
Your assumption. 

459
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,160
Your assumption should be that 
the person you're talking to has

460
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,160
oral herpes. 
Absolutely, that should be your 

461
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,000
assumption because the 
likelihood is they do. 

462
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:15,120
And then you have to say, OK, if
you're going to have oral sex 

463
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:18,800
without a barrier, because you 
don't always know when it's the 

464
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,160
infection is beginning, you're 
taking a risk. 

465
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:25,000
And then if you, if you, if 
they, they transmit it to you 

466
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,320
and you now have it on your 
penis or your vagina or your 

467
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,240
vulva, then you can transmit it 
to somebody else's genitals. 

468
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,200
You're not transmitting genital 
herpes. 

469
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,920
You're still transmitting 
simplex 1, but it's on the 

470
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,720
genitals. 
So it doesn't matter, right? 

471
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,280
And and it that's how it goes. 
I you know what, I have to just.

472
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:50,800
Y'all, I've only been telling 
you this for years. 

473
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,520
I hope that this fiery redhead 
finally got into your head to 

474
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,800
explain because I am so sick and
tired. 

475
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,240
Especially, you know, being a 
black person of color. 

476
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,960
It like being a person of color 
in general and just being a 

477
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,640
black woman. 
It is annoying to me that I have

478
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,440
to continuously reeducate my own
folks in my own community who 

479
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:20,520
are so ignorant to the simplest 
and simplest infections, 

480
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,320
diseases, risks. 
It's like you the saying that 

481
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,160
you want to put these people who
are on the sex offenders list. 

482
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,360
I guarantee you most of the 
folks who will have an STD or an

483
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:36,240
STI like myself. 
I have genital herpes. 

484
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,000
And do I tell every partner? 
Absolutely. 

485
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,120
Are my partners, you know, 
comfortable with it? 

486
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:45,520
The ones that stay are, and the 
ones who aren't, they've been 

487
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,000
vetted. 
That's fine. 

488
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,640
I don't need to be with them. 
They don't need to be with me. 

489
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,160
But I'm not stupid. 
I'm not ignorant. 

490
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,840
I'm not going to put my body at 
risk like I'm not going to put 

491
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,480
your body at risk. 
The other thing is, this is not 

492
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,720
only things like herpes, it's, 
it's simple stuff, right? 

493
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,280
Things like watching people pass
BV back and forth, bacterial 

494
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,000
vaginosis back and forth. 
Bacterial vaginosis is not a 

495
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,240
sexually transmitted infection. 
It is an infection that arises 

496
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,160
for women. 
We're not sure exactly how. 

497
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:18,280
I don't, right? 
I don't know what the latest is,

498
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,120
right? 
But last I looked, they weren't 

499
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:22,480
sure exactly how it managed to 
arise, but it does. 

500
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,440
But The thing is, is if you have
sexual partners in common, you 

501
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,320
can pass that back and forth. 
Just like yeast infections, 

502
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,840
people try to say oh it's at 
least females. 

503
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,400
Like no. 
You know, so, so it's all sorts 

504
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,080
of things that are that like you
just need to be aware of where 

505
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,040
you need to be aware of hygiene,
you need to be aware of the 

506
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,920
state of your body. 
And it's just about being a 

507
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,560
grown up. 
But because sex still remains 

508
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,360
taboo no matter what anybody 
says, right? 

509
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,640
Because sex for the most part in
the population in the US and the

510
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,520
UK and various other countries 
still remains taboo. 

511
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,160
People don't deal with this like
grown-ups because they're still,

512
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,920
it's still all hush hush and 
we're not really going to talk 

513
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,920
about this. 
Now with you being in the UK and

514
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,440
I have to say, I love, I love 
television in the UK and the way

515
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,760
that sex is approached because 
unlike America, it's less 

516
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,520
censored, at least in my 
opinion. 

517
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,240
I feel like it's very less 
censored. 

518
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:27,080
It is less censored. 
It is definitely less censored 

519
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:33,280
than it is in the US, but the 
attitudes, the actual attitudes 

520
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,720
towards stuff are not. 
Oh, let's get into that, please.

521
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,840
So it's less censored in that 
like you know, we did Open 

522
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,000
house, the great sex experiment 
I did the first two seasons. 

523
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,400
I'm not in the current season. 
I can't talk about that. 

524
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,520
I haven't. 
I haven't watched it. 

525
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,120
I have not either, I've only 
watched the seasons with you. 

526
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,600
Thank you. 
But that was a big deal, right? 

527
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:03,280
That we did this, this show, we 
did this show where I do the 

528
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,600
therapy part, I'm not involved 
in the sex part, right? 

529
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,160
It's got nothing to do with me. 
But like one of the one of the 

530
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,000
episodes they decided to have an
orgy. 

531
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,440
So it was a 15 person orgy. 
Now they are not showing hard 

532
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,240
penises, they're not showing 
open legs, right? 

533
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,520
They still, they blur, they do 
camera so that you're not seeing

534
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,360
it, but you are certainly seeing
more of the sex when you're not 

535
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,680
seeing. 
Yeah, way more than you would in

536
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:37,840
the US But like when that came 
out, I was accused of of single 

537
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,440
handedly trying to bring down 
the institution of marriage, 

538
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,560
right. 
No. 

539
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,000
And wait, if I'm not mistaken, I
think in this particular orgy, 

540
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,880
because there's see there are a 
couple episodes where orgies are

541
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,440
involved, but I think with this 
one, wasn't it, it was either 

542
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,200
the husband or the wife. 
Somebody weighs like a teacher, 

543
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,920
you know, one of them like 
somebody worked with children in

544
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,160
particular. 
Because I think I do remember 

545
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:08,840
this episode very well where I 
think the husband kind of left 

546
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:14,280
the scene and left his wife to 
her own pleasure, which is fine 

547
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,600
because that happens over 
stimulation and whatnot. 

548
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,120
But I think I do remember that 
episode in particular was 

549
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,240
getting criticize for what you 
said, you know, breaking the 

550
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,640
sanctity of marriage or why are 
we letting people freely fuck on

551
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,480
camera like it's called the 
great sex experiments. 

552
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,320
Right. 
So I mean so even though I mean 

553
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,360
so. 
And yet we have a we have a show

554
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,040
called Naked Attractions. 
Right. 

555
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,120
Where you know, for those people
who don't know what this show 

556
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,560
is, basically you start seeing 
from the bottom of the of the 

557
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,400
body up before you choose a 
date. 

558
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,400
So you don't get to see their 
face until you choose them or 

559
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,240
you or you or you eliminate 
them. 

560
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,760
Right, right. 
So you see people's naked 

561
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,680
genitals long before you see 
their face. 

562
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,560
And to me like that. 
And so that's that's auk show to

563
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,720
me. 
I'm like, but why? 

564
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,480
Wait, I'm over here like that 
would never fly in the Americas 

565
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,480
because already people are going
to say you're objective find the

566
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,440
body. 
This is wrong. 

567
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,160
Like come. 
On and yet I mean, and even and 

568
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,080
in this one you do see penises, 
right? 

569
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,240
Because often you don't see 
penises, but in this show you 

570
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,440
do. 
See penises, and they're mostly 

571
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,400
because you're not. 
Seeing erections, Right, Because

572
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,480
you're not seeing erections, the
erection is the problem. 

573
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,080
Problematic bit, right? 
You're not seeing erections, 

574
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,640
you're just seeing penises. 
Crazy. 

575
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,320
But I just find it like so, so 
on that on those, when you think

576
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,800
about those sorts of things and 
these sorts of shows this year, 

577
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:52,200
this year's new show was Virgin 
Island where they took, you 

578
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,960
know, they took these, these 
people in their 20s who were 

579
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:02,720
virgins and they had a sex coach
and A and a surrogate and some 

580
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,280
other stuff. 
And then they, you know, tried 

581
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,720
to get them to have sex. 
I've seen it. 

582
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,000
I've seen some of that. 
I've seen some of that. 

583
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:17,000
I was asked to comment about the
professionals and which was an 

584
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:22,400
interesting situation because 
like there were some things that

585
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,360
I was like, I don't care what 
kind of professional you are, 

586
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,000
you wouldn't do that, right? 
But there are other things where

587
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,760
I had to. 
I was going to say, do you 

588
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,960
think, pardon, I was going to 
ask you, were lines of consent 

589
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,680
kind of drawn? 
Because when I think of Virgin 

590
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,040
Island, I feel like that's like 
anything that surrounds virgins 

591
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,600
trying to deflower them on 
public television. 

592
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,520
Always wonder about the consent 
basis. 

593
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,240
So for your standpoint. 
I mean, I, I mean, I think, you 

594
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,280
know, I think the people who 
came on the show really did want

595
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,600
to lose their virginity. 
And, and, and, and there were 

596
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,880
just as many guys as there were,
there were more guys than there 

597
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,280
were girls, right, that were 
losing their virginity, 

598
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:09,840
obviously, right. 
But I think I think that some of

599
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,840
the the stuff with the surrogate
was really cool really because a

600
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,280
certain because it was, but 
because it was explaining what a

601
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,560
surrogate's job is and a 
surrogacy is not is something 

602
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,160
that is frowned on in this 
country. 

603
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,120
Yes. 
Whereas surrogacy in the US is 

604
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,160
more regulated and less frowned 
on. 

605
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,960
I think it's really sad that 
it's frowned on. 

606
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,560
I think there's there's real 
value in sex surrogates for 

607
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:37,040
certain people who who find it 
impossible to have a partner in 

608
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,840
cells would do well to meet a 
sex surrogate, right To go see a

609
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:47,080
sex surrogate as therapist. 
I agree of what they instead of 

610
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,200
what they do, which is all kinds
of maxing to try and get 

611
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,840
privilege that they're not 
getting because they can't get a

612
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,680
partner. 
I mean, there's a lot of things 

613
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,400
that that surrogates can do that
are that when they're regulated,

614
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,560
that's great. 
I agree, where I had the issue 

615
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,480
was with one of the coaches, not
the surrogate because I felt 

616
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,120
that the bound the boundaries 
was from the bit that I saw the 

617
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,960
boundaries were really blurry. 
Gotcha. 

618
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,639
I was like. 
You know, but yeah, so we have a

619
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:16,000
show. 
You know, we have this just the 

620
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,960
new big show is the Virgin 
Island, right? 

621
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,280
So we're having a show where 
we're showing virgins losing 

622
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,639
their virginity. 
And you know, and, and I mean, 

623
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,159
you could never have something 
like that in the US It's just 

624
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:29,040
not, no. 
So in that way, in that way, one

625
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,960
would think that we're more 
open, but we're really not. 

626
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,440
I mean, the attitudes aren't. 
It's it's just very interesting 

627
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,600
how sex on the UK spectrum 
versus, you know, the US. 

628
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:45,000
One thing I always have forever 
quoted is the difference of the 

629
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:50,560
show Skins versus when the 
Americas MTV bought the rights 

630
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,600
and said they were going to 
launch their own version of 

631
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,440
skins and skins. 
If you are not familiar guys, 

632
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,360
you can look at it on the UK 
version, at least on Hulu last 

633
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:05,640
time I checked. 
But it used underage actors, you

634
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,600
know, portraying real sexual 
situations. 

635
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:14,480
And I mean everything from 
drugs, sex, alcohol, addiction, 

636
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,880
death. 
These kids lived it all. 

637
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,480
And later on, some of the famous
stars, Jack O'Connell from 

638
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,320
Sinners. 
And then we have Nicholas Holt. 

639
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:29,240
He's from the X-Men movies. 
They have all spoken out and 

640
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:31,920
said, I wish that we had an 
intimacy coordinator. 

641
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:37,280
I wish that my parents maybe, 
you know, tighten the grip when 

642
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:42,440
it came to the fact that we were
enacting in simulated sex scenes

643
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,240
as teenagers. 
The consent culture was kind of 

644
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:49,640
blurred with that show. 
But at the same time, I was 

645
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,760
watching it, saying, finally 
there was a show that portrayed 

646
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,640
the dangers of being a teenager.
And it didn't matter where you 

647
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,200
came from. 
We all related to these 

648
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,400
characters, but we didn't think 
about the psyche of those adult,

649
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,480
you know, those young actors and
as they go into their adulthood,

650
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,920
what it could have done. 
So it's very interesting how sex

651
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,440
culture it is kind of different,
you know, that we portray it on 

652
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,800
screen or, you know, we throw in
child actors and whatnot. 

653
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,520
So it's very interesting how the
culture in the UK is a little 

654
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,040
bit loosening to that. 
Not as much anymore. 

655
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,040
I don't think I've seen such a 
controversial show sense skins 

656
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:37,600
after it ended, but you know, 
still we talk about it in 2025 S

657
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,840
because of the impact it made. 
I mean, I, I, you know, it's, 

658
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:51,800
it's everybody is, is, is, is 
more, is tighter now, you know, 

659
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,320
and, and unfortunately what 
happens is that people like to 

660
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,720
rewrite history with their own 
lens and which is problematic. 

661
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:05,080
You know, it's really 
problematic the way that we, 

662
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,000
when we talk about pedophilia 
and when we talk about grooming 

663
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,840
and things like this, like the 
number of times I see people 

664
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,480
online talking about grooming 
and oh, she was groomed because 

665
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,080
she was, you know, 18 and he was
22. 

666
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:23,160
I'm like, no, no, they're peers.
They're peers, right? 

667
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,360
He was 60 and she was 18. 
Yeah. 

668
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,400
OK, you know, yeah, but they're 
peers, right? 

669
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:32,440
And, and this whole 
infantilizing of young people 

670
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,760
that happened, which I find 
fascinating. 

671
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:45,400
I grew up in the 70s and you 
know, I hit 18 in 1981. 

672
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,520
Oh wow. 
OK, so, yeah, so I remember when

673
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:55,600
I was like, and I, you know, I 
can tell you the the situations 

674
00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:00,560
from my growing up years that 
where adults took advantage and 

675
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,880
I can also tell you the 
situations where I took 

676
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,920
advantage. 
Wow. 

677
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:12,960
You know, teenagers do not have 
no knowledge, no desires and no 

678
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,200
ability. 
They don't make good decisions. 

679
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,880
That's why we protect them, 
right? 

680
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,600
Because they don't make good 
decisions. 

681
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,320
Absolutely. 
But they don't go. 

682
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:26,440
They don't suddenly blossom into
having all these skills in their

683
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,240
20s. 
It doesn't work that way. 

684
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,280
So unfortunately, we don't have 
a lot of nuance in our culture 

685
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:38,320
right now. 
And so people either basically 

686
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,640
allow talk about it as though 
adults should, you know, 

687
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,640
children should be able to 
consent and adults should be 

688
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,480
able to do what they like on the
one hand, which is 1. 

689
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,240
And on the other hand, it's 
like, oh, you know, any more 

690
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:58,000
than two years between age of 
between a relationship makes 

691
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,560
for, you know, something that 
ought to be on the sex offenders

692
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,800
register. 
And it's like, OK, like there is

693
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:09,480
actually nuance here. 
It's so it may, there's just so 

694
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,080
much that you've, you know, said
in so little time. 

695
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:18,640
It's like I, I have to ask this 
because this is the biggest 

696
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,600
thing now, you know, the active,
the culture of consent and the 

697
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,800
fact that, you know, we're 
hearing that Gen. 

698
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:34,840
X is a little bit more awaken to
sexual desires or just in 

699
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,920
general sexuality. 
They're a lot more open than we 

700
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,680
were. 
I mean, I couldn't imagine being

701
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,280
11-12 years old and coming out 
and saying I'm trans. 

702
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:50,800
That was remotely I, I could not
even think about sexuality the 

703
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,880
way I don't even think I 
sexually peaked. 

704
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:58,360
Like I knew about masturbation. 
I knew about, you know, my, the 

705
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,040
consent culture of like, if 
somebody approached me and 

706
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,680
touched me inappropriately, say 
no, call somebody, say 

707
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,680
something. 
But now you have, you know, 

708
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,560
teens that are growing up in 
society now they're wondering 

709
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:17,040
about their orientation, their 
relationship styles, they're, 

710
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:21,480
you know, talking about gender 
dysmorphia or, you know, just 

711
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,440
not feeling like themselves. 
And then how dare we? 

712
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,400
In the US, kind of govern that 
and say, well, it's an act of 

713
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,440
perversion or they'll change out
of it. 

714
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,480
Where do you stand if you know? 
We have some. 

715
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,120
I have. 
Some I have real issues with 

716
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,960
identity politics, which 
sometimes people are really 

717
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,200
surprised, surprised about. 
I'm not. 

718
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,960
Huge issues with identity. 
I'm not huge issues with 

719
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:52,960
identity politics because it 
locks people into into something

720
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,880
and doesn't allow for evolving. 
And people do evolve. 

721
00:40:56,240 --> 00:40:59,960
Some people know they're trans 
when they're young and they, 

722
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:02,720
they, they, they know they're 
trans, they stay trans, they 

723
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:04,560
continue to grow and they're 
still trans. 

724
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,360
Just like some people know 
they're non monogamous, some 

725
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,840
people know they're bisexual, 
some people know they're gay. 

726
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,400
But there's also a lot of 
experimentation that happens 

727
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,080
when you're a teenager and into 
your 20s. 

728
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,520
And, you know, people have to 
figure out how their bodies 

729
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,200
work. 
They have to figure out what 

730
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:29,640
they like, what they don't like.
And so if you identify into a 

731
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,200
group and that becomes your 
friend group and that becomes 

732
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:37,040
your reason for being, then if 
you decide that that's not for 

733
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,160
you, you don't just give up that
sexuality. 

734
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:46,600
You give up your entire set of 
identities if you come out as 

735
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,320
trans, we can use that because 
it's the more obvious one at the

736
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,440
moment. 
But if you come out of trans, 

737
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,560
say at 11 years old, and you get
hooked into a system, and I'm 

738
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,080
not talking about getting 
medicalized or anything, leave 

739
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,440
all of that aside. 
I'm just talking about the 

740
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,080
identity politics. 
You get hooked into a system. 

741
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,000
All of your friends are part of 
the LGBTQIA, right? 

742
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,240
Everybody is talking the same 
things, They agree with the same

743
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:13,360
things. 
All the social media that you 

744
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,960
see, your whole feed is exactly 
the same. 

745
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,520
Your politics are decided by 
that. 

746
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,000
Everything is decided by these 
identities. 

747
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:27,920
So you're 11 there. 
By the time you're 18, you don't

748
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:33,880
feel the same way, right? 
Let's say maybe by the time 

749
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,840
you're 18, you're like, maybe 
I'm gender fluid, right? 

750
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,480
I don't really want to change. 
I don't really need a label. 

751
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,920
I kind of like my body now. 
That's how it is. 

752
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,920
But if you stand up and say that
you're walking against 

753
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,760
everything that's gone before 
now, what happens if you decide 

754
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:05,640
that actually you're male or 
you're female now and that you 

755
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,960
don't want a gender? 
Like to to have one of the 

756
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,800
gender identity labels, right. 
A box to put yourself in. 

757
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,400
Or you decide that actually 
you're straight. 

758
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:21,480
You're no longer part of an 
LGBTQIA community because you're

759
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,800
straight now. 
What? 

760
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,600
Yeah. 
And so, you know, I have huge 

761
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,080
issues with it because we've 
made identity everything. 

762
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,920
We really have. 
And so, at least in my day, 

763
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,520
although the negatives of that 
were that people weren't 

764
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,680
recognized, they didn't get the 
help they needed, they didn't 

765
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,520
feel free to be who they were in
various places. 

766
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:49,040
But the reality is, is that we 
we did have a freedom, which was

767
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:54,720
the freedom to explore and the 
freedom to take our time and 

768
00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:56,720
with more information that would
have been great. 

769
00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:58,320
We didn't have enough 
information. 

770
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,160
But what we've got now, I don't 
think is the be all and end all.

771
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,720
I actually, it really, I see so 
many people, so many young 

772
00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:12,360
people caught in this thing 
where they're like when, when 

773
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:17,080
politics started to amalgamate 
and, and bigger identity started

774
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,440
to amalgamate. 
Now we've got people who are 

775
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,800
like, but this is my sexual 
identity and my gender identity,

776
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,840
but my politics are here and my 
ethnicity is over here. 

777
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,040
And now I'm not allowed to be 
part of any group. 

778
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,560
So now they're isolated, right? 
It's like that makes no sense. 

779
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,800
It's it's a little scary. 
It's a little scary. 

780
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,440
I was talking with a friend of 
mine from the Netherlands and 

781
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,320
it's, you know, we agree. 
It's like, why do we force 

782
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,840
people to come out straight? 
People don't have to come out. 

783
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,360
Why is there's this like force 
culture that I got to know your 

784
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,680
identity right then and there? 
It doesn't matter if we're 

785
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,760
sexually involved. 
I have to know to, you know, to 

786
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,960
protect myself. 
And it's like, wait a second, 

787
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,640
what are you protecting yourself
from? 

788
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,880
What did that person do? 
Think about, there's a thing 

789
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,560
about if I want to be loud and 
proud, then I should be loud and

790
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:08,920
proud. 
But there are people who don't 

791
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,040
want to be. 
It's just like, it's just like I

792
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,920
do these this talk called the 
Psychology of Finnish and Kink, 

793
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,160
which I've been traveling the UK
and Ireland with. 

794
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,520
I did it, you know, for a couple
of years. 

795
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,160
I've taken a break now, but I'll
go back to it. 

796
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,480
I love doing it. 
It's a lot of fun. 

797
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:27,960
And I'm like, there are people 
who are kinky that don't, that 

798
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,000
don't belong to any group. 
Yeah. 

799
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,720
You don't have to be part of the
community. 

800
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,840
Just because you discover you're
kinky does not mean you have to 

801
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,680
join a community and adopt lots 
of ideas that go with that 

802
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,200
community. 
You can be quietly kinky all you

803
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,040
want, right? 
You can be quietly kinky with 

804
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,200
your partner. 
You can never go to a club, 

805
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:54,040
never go to an event, never go, 
you know, to A to a parade and 

806
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,320
and be kinky. 
You can be non monogamous and 

807
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,280
your group can never go to any 
of these things and nobody would

808
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:00,840
ever know. 
And there's nothing wrong with 

809
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,080
that. 
It doesn't have to come with a 

810
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:09,000
public identity and this kind of
pressure on people to say to to 

811
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,040
pick a side. 
It's always about pick a side. 

812
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:12,160
I. 
Hate it? 

813
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,320
You must pick a You must pick a 
side. 

814
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,560
There's a thing going on in the 
therapy community at the moment.

815
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,640
You must pick a side so I know 
if I'm safe with you. 

816
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:22,400
You should be able to tell if 
you're safe with me by talking 

817
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,920
with me. 
My God. 

818
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,560
Right, like I'm not going to 
declare you every identity I 

819
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,040
have, right. 
And, and, and part of that is 

820
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,840
about not wanting, you know, 
wanting to be an example if you 

821
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,080
don't have to list all your 
identities, I'll tell you who I 

822
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,720
am if you ask me, but I don't 
feel like it's, it should be 

823
00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:46,400
necessary for somebody to kind 
of list all these things. 

824
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,720
Now maybe you want to see a 
therapist who's like you that I 

825
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:54,960
get that makes sense. 
But I work with people who are 

826
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,880
not like me all the time. 
And it should be that way. 

827
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,920
It should be that way I. 
Work with people. 

828
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,280
I work with people with every 
ethnicity, every race, every 

829
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:09,680
creed, every nationality, every 
sexuality, all the time. 

830
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,440
And you're not. 
I'm happy to work. 

831
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,080
I was going to say, you're not. 
You're not pushing anybody with 

832
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,440
your practices to say like, you 
must be this. 

833
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,160
And I think that's also the 
problem. 

834
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,680
Like people think because we 
identify a little differently, 

835
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,560
because we see relationships a 
little differently, we're just 

836
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,960
going to impose it. 
Like I don't expect any family 

837
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:35,600
members, any friends of mine to 
be polyamorous, to understand 

838
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,360
me. 
That is just a small factor to 

839
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,560
who I am as a person, as an 
individual. 

840
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,880
I was, I was found it 
interesting that, you know, like

841
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,560
when, when I was doing the show,
1 of the big questions that was 

842
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,480
asked in the media and, and just
like I would be asked, you know,

843
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,680
do you think this is best for 
all people? 

844
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,400
I'm like, no, this is best for 
me, right. 

845
00:47:57,720 --> 00:48:00,120
I don't know what's best for you
until we work together. 

846
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,560
Then we can, you can figure it 
out. 

847
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,440
I'll, I'll help you figure it 
out by asking you the right 

848
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,880
questions, but I won't tell you 
what those answers are because 

849
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:07,640
I'm not you. 
Exactly. 

850
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,000
For some people, non monogamy is
the most amazing thing. 

851
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,880
For some people, non monogamy is
help. 

852
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,240
It's not better. 
It's not worse than monogamy. 

853
00:48:17,240 --> 00:48:20,240
They're a pros to monogamy and 
they're a pros to non monogamy. 

854
00:48:20,240 --> 00:48:24,440
They're a cons to both as well. 
And it really is about learning 

855
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,840
how to explore yourself and make
decisions for yourself. 

856
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,880
And then you can find the group 
of people that you're more 

857
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,840
comfortable with. 
Do I socialize with people more 

858
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,360
like me? 
Absolutely. 

859
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:39,480
You know, I have a, these days, 
a rather small Group, A rather 

860
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,440
small, tight group of people 
around me. 

861
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,640
And we share some, some crucial 
characteristics about the way 

862
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,240
that we live. 
And we like being around each 

863
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:52,040
other because we don't have to 
explain as much. 

864
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,600
We're comfortable. 
But there are still people 

865
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:59,000
within my group of people I'm 
close to that don't live like I 

866
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,720
do. 
I know there are people that are

867
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:03,680
non, that are monogamous, you 
know, there are people you know,

868
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:08,920
but it's the more confident in 
who you are, the easier it is to

869
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,800
branch out in that way. 
But it also gets tiresome. 

870
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,560
I get tired of answering the 
same questions over and over 

871
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,680
again. 
I bet, I bet. 

872
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:18,680
That's why I mean. 
It's like. 

873
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,120
I wanted to make sure I was 
like, I'm not going to ask her 

874
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:26,080
all the same things, you know, 
like if you want to know people.

875
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:31,040
Have to be 1 of the things we 
talked about before before we 

876
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,000
came on was about. 
I've been talking recently about

877
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:37,000
having separate spaces, living 
in separate spaces. 

878
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,800
Yes, when you're married. 
And so my husband and I have 

879
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,560
separate bedrooms. 
I would have had from the 

880
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,040
beginning, I say this, I say I 
would have lived in separate 

881
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:52,080
houses if I could have afforded 
it and that now I'm quite happy 

882
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,000
living in the same house. 
But I love having separate 

883
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,720
bedrooms. 
I have my own bedroom, my own 

884
00:49:55,720 --> 00:49:58,680
bathroom, that's his own bedroom
and his own bathroom. 

885
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:00,640
And it doesn't. 
Mean if you're a woman and. 

886
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,200
It doesn't mean you don't love 
yourself. 

887
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,400
You're less right. 
No, no. 

888
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,480
I mean, you know, I'm going to 
be sexist for a minute. 

889
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:11,600
I, I would be hard pressed to 
find a woman who wouldn't say 

890
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,560
that she would prefer that she 
had a bathroom that was separate

891
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:19,560
from any male partner, right? 
I say, I have my own bedroom. 

892
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,520
People don't necessarily jump up
and down. 

893
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,880
I say, I have my own bathroom. 
They're like oh damn, I'm so 

894
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,240
jealous. 
Honestly that is I I love having

895
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:31,240
now 2 bathrooms because it can 
be for a second his and hers. 

896
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,280
Even though in our master we 
have a his and her side, it's 

897
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,720
nice to to know that he can go 
to 1 and I can go to the other 

898
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:38,960
and I don't have to see it all 
the time. 

899
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,960
We all know what we're talking. 
About I really like, I really 

900
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:48,320
like, yeah, but it's not 
negative for our relationship. 

901
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:53,360
It's positive and it can be. 
You have to make more effort to 

902
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:57,840
have more intimacy. 
When I haven't been, well, it's 

903
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,800
been harder because I'm not 
downstairs in the common area 

904
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,680
sitting and interacting. 
I'm in my own space. 

905
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:09,440
And so it becomes harder to 
spend as much time together. 

906
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,960
But but you, you can easily do 
it there. 

907
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,520
There are ways of doing it. 
And then when you do want to 

908
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,560
have sex in any way, shape or 
form, you come together for 

909
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,320
that. 
You don't just jump up and go to

910
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,080
separate spaces. 
You know, you cuddle for 

911
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:23,320
whatever long you're going to 
cuddle. 

912
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,120
And then you do go to separate 
spaces. 

913
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,680
There you go. 
I when we were when we had the 

914
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:33,320
same bedroom, I don't sleep well
anyway for variety of reasons. 

915
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,600
And he snores. 
It doesn't work out that way. 

916
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:45,840
You know, there were there were 
times where he went and slept on

917
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,200
a on a couch. 
I because he loves me, right? 

918
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,160
He did that. 
I wouldn't have told him to do 

919
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,320
that because the couch is 
fucking uncomfortable, but 

920
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,720
because he was like, you're 
working in the morning, you need

921
00:51:56,720 --> 00:52:00,120
to get some sleep. 
So we don't have that problem 

922
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,120
anymore. 
I also now keep my own schedule.

923
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,640
We have vastly different 
schedules. 

924
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:09,840
He's up at 7:30 in the morning. 
Give me the option. 

925
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:15,800
I'll sleep until noon. 
I'm up at 3:00 AM, right? 

926
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,960
And he's in bed. 
And he's in bed. 

927
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,680
And so, you know, it's just, but
there's also the thing of when 

928
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:27,360
you have your own space, it's a 
place you can retreat to, to 

929
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:32,800
gather yourself. 
And that's so much more 

930
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,240
important in a long term 
relationship than people think. 

931
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,840
And I'm, I'm seeing more and 
more of this of, you know, 

932
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,040
couples that are together, but 
they're living separately, 

933
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,200
whether it's sleeping in a 
different home altogether, 

934
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,360
sleeping in separate bedrooms. 
I don't find it weird. 

935
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:54,840
I think it's like, hey guys, 
sleep is important, sanity is 

936
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:59,200
important. 
Maybe, just maybe, separation 

937
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,800
makes the heart grow a little 
bit more fonder. 

938
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,880
It doesn't mean that your 
relationship is is doomed 

939
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,160
because you want separation. 
You just don't need to live on 

940
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,520
top of each other. 
I like that idea. 

941
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,800
I totally agree with it. 
We did. 

942
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,840
We evolved into living in the 
same rooms because because 

943
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,400
people weren't, we weren't rich.
People weren't rich, right? 

944
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,080
If you look at wealthy people in
the centuries going back, they 

945
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:25,880
all have separate spaces. 
Oh my. 

946
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:30,040
God, yes, and nobody called 
their own bedroom and nobody 

947
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,920
questioned it. 
I mean, perfect example, gone 

948
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,880
with the wind. 
You know, for years as a child 

949
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,240
it didn't. 
I did not put it two to two 

950
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,280
together because unless if 
you're like a die hard watching 

951
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,440
it over and over again, you 
don't really realize that Rhett 

952
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,680
and Scarlett did not live. 
They did not sleep together 

953
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:53,760
until they, you know, the night 
of passion or sexual assault. 

954
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,080
However you want to view it in 
that lens. 

955
00:53:56,240 --> 00:54:00,200
That's a whole different topic. 
But again, in the South, that 

956
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,760
was a tradition. 
You see it in English culture 

957
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:06,720
too, that there were separate 
quarters when the Royals we get 

958
00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:08,560
together. 
If you had money though, right? 

959
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,960
Only if you had money. 
Only if you had money. 

960
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,280
The Royals? 
They never always slept together

961
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,200
either. 
No, no. 

962
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,640
So I so. 
It, it, there's, there's 

963
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,240
something about having that 
space when you can and it is a 

964
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:24,840
luxury. 
It is, you know, I mean, the 

965
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,760
first two houses that we live 
together in, we didn't have that

966
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,520
luxury. 
We didn't have the extra space 

967
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,840
when we moved in this house. 
We did. 

968
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,880
We didn't originally plan it 
this way when we moved. 

969
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,040
It just evolved this way pretty 
quickly. 

970
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:43,000
And then and then I said to him,
listen, I would like to keep it 

971
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,360
this way. 
Are you OK with that? 

972
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:47,040
And he was like, and he thought 
about it. 

973
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,200
And in the beginning, I don't 
think he liked it very much, but

974
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:54,640
he very much understood that for
me, for my sanity, in order for 

975
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,560
me to have the physical energy 
that I needed, that I was 

976
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,680
sleeping better when he wasn't 
next to me. 

977
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,480
And it wasn't him. 
It was anyone. 

978
00:55:03,720 --> 00:55:06,720
I don't sleep well with anyone 
ever have? 

979
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,040
Only in the first six months of 
a relationship. 

980
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:10,840
Right. 
The first six months of a 

981
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,880
relationship, yeah, I manage. 
But after that, I never sleep. 

982
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,600
I'm the first person to go. 
OK, thanks for the cuddle. 

983
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:19,200
I'm moving over. 
Go away. 

984
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,880
Oh my God you and my girlfriend 
are very similar. 

985
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,600
She's the same way, like when 
she's sleeping, if we're in the 

986
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,600
same bed, it's like she's on her
side and she just stays on her 

987
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:33,480
side and I'm over here like 
somebody cuddle me, bleed. 

988
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,520
Yeah, I know. 
Like I like don't touch me once 

989
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:38,520
I'm asleep. 
Yeah. 

990
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,280
So whenever we go on holiday, 
it's always an adjustment for 

991
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:42,520
me. 
Oh man. 

992
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,240
When we're on holiday, we're 
we're in the same bed, right? 

993
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,360
But it's always a readjustment 
for me. 

994
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,640
But but I think, you know, I 
think after a while he actually 

995
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,840
got used to it. 
And I was like, actually, I like

996
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,280
having my own space. 
I like being able to have 

997
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,240
whatever I want on in the 
background on the television or 

998
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:04,480
noise or music and not having to
have whatever you have on to 

999
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,400
deal with your tinnitus, right? 
I like being able to have my 

1000
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,360
space be orderly in the way I 
want it and not have to, you 

1001
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:15,520
know, and, and so, you know, I 
recognize it as a privilege that

1002
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:20,400
we have enough space to do so 
space to do this. 

1003
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,560
So I recognize it as a 
privilege, but it's also one 

1004
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,200
that adds positivity to the 
relationship. 

1005
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,680
Now we're not raising a young 
child anymore. 

1006
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,720
There you go, right? 
Which is part of the reason that

1007
00:56:32,720 --> 00:56:36,320
we have the extra space because 
the bedroom in the house that 

1008
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:40,160
was his, which is now the guest 
room because he's living in the 

1009
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:45,200
Casita Outback, right? 
So when he was living in the 

1010
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,560
house with us when we first 
moved here, that meant that we 

1011
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,800
wouldn't have a guest room if my
husband slept in the other. 

1012
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,640
Room, right? 
But now, because my sons moved 

1013
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,120
to the casino, we've got a guest
room and we've got you. 

1014
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,640
Have your space. 
You're just like, I'm over here 

1015
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:04,800
like this sounds so ideal 
because I feel like as much as I

1016
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:09,120
love my fiance and you were 
talking about perimenopausal and

1017
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:13,320
I'm over here taking folic acid,
trying to prepare my body for a 

1018
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,600
baby. 
I get hot so easily. 

1019
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,640
There are days where I'm like, 
maybe we should just sleep 

1020
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,560
separately. 
But then I'm just like, no, no, 

1021
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,160
no, I miss his body. 
He misses my body. 

1022
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,440
But who knows? 
As we, you know, grow to grow 

1023
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:30,120
all together, things may happen,
things may change. 

1024
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:35,240
Wait till you're pregnant. 
Doctor Lori Beth, I might have 

1025
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:40,440
to like call you and be like. 
Hell, I did not miss and I was 

1026
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,120
pregnant with my a different 
person, but I did not miss. 

1027
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,720
I told him if he came near me I 
would kill him. 

1028
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,840
So that was really easy. 
Oh, I didn't touch me. 

1029
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:56,040
I found that whole process 
really difficult. 

1030
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,280
Oh my goodness. 
It was just like just you just 

1031
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,000
stay over that. 
You want to do something? 

1032
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,360
Rub my feet, they hurt. 
Other than that, go away. 

1033
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,320
Don't touch me. 
I hope they were. 

1034
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,440
I hope they were a service sub 
and, you know, just glad you're 

1035
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,680
like, willingly like, yes, Oh, 
no. 

1036
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:12,000
No. 
No. 

1037
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:16,040
No, no, I know it was. 
I mean, it wasn't, it wasn't a 

1038
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,280
good relationship. 
I mean, pregnancy was OK, We got

1039
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,640
through that, right? 
We had the baby, but it wasn't 

1040
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:26,120
it wasn't a great relationship. 
And he's like the baby's grown, 

1041
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,080
he's 23 and he's amazing. 
Oh see, you do not look like you

1042
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,000
gave birth to a 23 year old, 
Blake. 

1043
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,280
Come on. 
I gave birth to a 23 year old 

1044
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:39,560
when I was 39 years old so. 
Goals. 

1045
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,880
Come on. 62. 
And looking fine as ever. 

1046
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,960
Looking like fine wine with that
red hair. 

1047
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,240
Doctor Lori Beth. 
Oh my goodness. 

1048
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,920
I feel like I can talk to you 
for hours, as I always tell my 

1049
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,000
guests. 
But you guys make it so easy. 

1050
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,520
Now you have a couple things 
coming up. 

1051
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,240
In fact, I think we were briefly
talking about it, but you're 

1052
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:03,000
going to be on court TV dealing 
with a very interesting case. 

1053
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:08,360
I'm going to be on supposedly 
tonight, so I'm going to be on 

1054
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:15,960
court TV tonight dealing with 
the case of the Only Fans model 

1055
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:23,040
Who had a DDSM session with a 
with a client and and he died 

1056
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:24,920
and she's been charged with 
second degree murder. 

1057
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:26,440
So. 
Crazy. 

1058
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,680
I'm, I'm gonna, yeah. 
So I'm gonna be on, I'm gonna be

1059
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,040
doing that other stuff that's 
going on. 

1060
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:38,560
I'll probably be doing some more
online stuff, some more online 

1061
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:44,560
lectures. 
I am revamping my podcast. 

1062
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:46,720
We'll see. 
I'm record. 

1063
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,440
I'm recording somebody else's 
podcast. 

1064
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:53,320
It's a video podcast, but it's 
not my episodes aren't out yet, 

1065
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,760
so I'll just keep I have to keep
stomach about that. 

1066
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,040
Hopefully I'll be doing some 
more television soon. 

1067
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:02,880
I really had a lot of fun with 
open house yes self seeing 

1068
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:08,240
clients and traveling. 
I love it a bit. 

1069
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,640
And you can. 
So I mean, I had a bunch of time

1070
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,600
where I was, I was, you know, 
much more low key because the 

1071
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:18,000
recovery from this thing kept me
in one place for a very long 

1072
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,000
time. 
I'm only just out back doing 

1073
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,000
things physically again because 
it's taken quite a long. 

1074
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,560
Time. 
So now we got to get you back, 

1075
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,640
as the kids say, outside, 
outside. 

1076
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,840
We got to get you outside well. 
Yeah, I'm, I mean, I'm starting 

1077
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,440
doing that. 
I'll start touring again in the 

1078
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,760
new year. 
It won't start until February 

1079
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,480
'cause I'm gonna be away in 
January and the beginning of 

1080
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,640
February. 
Let's all start touring again in

1081
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,280
the new year and hopefully end 
up doing some West Coast dates 

1082
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,440
these days soon. 
Definitely be keeping tabs on 

1083
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:53,840
you and people can follow you at
Doctor Bisbee on IG correct? 

1084
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,880
It's Doctor. 
On IG it's at Doctor Bisbee. 

1085
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:04,320
OK, and then it that's at Doctor
Bisbee on X and then on TikTok 

1086
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,960
it's at Lori Beth UK. 
Perfect. 

1087
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:10,000

1090
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,400
Doctor Lori Beth, I have to say 
thank you. 

1091
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,000
Thank you so, so much. 
Got to bring you back, 

1092
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:26,040
especially after this case. 
I mean, I'm already like the 

1093
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:29,120
wheels are turning and I would 
love to, you know, get your take

1094

right now. 

1095
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:35,000
But it has been such a pleasure 
and an honor, truly. 

1096
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,160
Thank you. 
Thank you so much for having me,

1097

sex. 

1099
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,520
We will be going on hiatus, but 
be on the lookout for a very 

1100
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,840

1104
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,000
Well, let's just say it's 
another movie that people have 

1105
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,640
put in comparison and I'm 
blanking out on the name 

1106
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,040

film.
