This was my first Sex Nerd podcast, and I loved it!
Can you link to Christopher White’s twitter? My google fu is failing me.
Also, I’m sure you know this but I was thinking it really hard when you were talking about the Gottman stuff. My last job was at a relationship counselling place and they LOOOOOVEEEDD the Gottman institute. The thing they really focussed on was that, as you said, any form of conflict can be ok. The differentiating factor is whether there is positive contact within it. So, even if you’re yelling, if you’re making jokes and smiling it can be far more constructive than conflict resolution where someone is rolling their eyes. The other one that hits home for me is that disgust is the absolute death knell – if one person is disgusted with the other, they’ve written them off and it’s hard to come back from that. My parent’s relationship was like that and it’s a habit I’ve worked hard to unlearn – respect is everything, in every relationship!
Anyway, I really enjoyed my first listen, looking forward to exploring your archives… if you know what I mean…
There are two Bloomingtons! IL OR IN?
“Oh….WHAT!? My dick!”
I find it somewhat sexist of you to immediately assume that straight men saying they don’t find non-genital stimulation erogenous on the survey means they are being either disingenuous or somehow aren’t “open”. As a “straight male” I’m pretty well sick and tired of hearing from supposedly sex-positive people that somehow if I don’t enjoy being spanked, the feeling of prostate stimulation, a light touch on my inner elbow *queasy shudder*, or having my nipples sucked I am some sort of idiot caveman who has never explored any of that.
How about, instead of assuming I never tried it and am afraid of it, for once assuming that I did try it and didn’t find it pleasurable?
That being said, I enjoy the podcast, though I do much more enjoy the conversational podcasts than the one-on-ones we’ve been getting lately.
This looks great, can’t wait !
