LSDCast S01E38: Masturbation + fastforward intimacy
Prem & Rogue are back with more laughs, more (contradictory) advice, and some intimacy coaching and this time they’re talking about generalizing whether women are always ready to become mutually exclusive right after date #1 — Prem thinks women who don’t want to know immediately are just being polite while secretly they’re dying to fast forward; Rogue says boys do this too and it’s not a gender thing. They’ve got advice for the guy who asks what to do, as well.
So, this time we’ve got another wide range of questions and Prem and Rogue deliberate issues of substance abuse, codependency, agency, laziness, timing and other important things BUT in their typical candour and humour.
Utsav’s wife is pregnant, yay! But he doesn’t want to have sex with her. How can he get out of it? He loves her, but he’s not attracted to her right now. Stay tuned, your favorite Indian agony aunts (Ok, didi & bhaiya) Prem & Rogue have very different sympathies. Hint: there’s a pirate involved!
When Rogue dated someone who smelled less than rosy, she turned tail and ghosted…but one of our listeners doesn’t have that option. “Tina” is engaged to someone whose natural smell doesn’t do positive things for her libido. How does she approach him? Are there tricks to changing body smell? Or instead of changing how you smell, you have to change HOW you smell? Ok, that doesn’t work, but you know where we’re going with that.
Does this happen to you? you’re in bed with your lover/partner and your mind drifts off to being intimate with someone else? One listener wants to know if that’s normal. And another writes in to ask advice about what to do when her partner freezes her out after an argument. Four days of silent treatment hurt. Prem & Rogue have plenty to say about both, including a surprisingly personal take from Rogue.
What do you do when the casual hookup wants to swap personal stories and you’re just into the sex? You write to agony ‘aunts’ Prem and Rogue who give you not one, not two, but THREE options of how to deal with it (it could involve some pet behaviour therapy).
This week, the siblings take on the brave new world of telling people to back off, nicely – and putting their mouth where their money is … no? Okay, never mind. Episode 32 has a question from someone whose colleague is being a bit too familiar with the flirting and it’s making her uncomfortable. How does she get it to stop? Prem thinks she should just address it, Rogue thinks it’s really hard for girls to be even nicely confrontational. Whom do you agree with?
We’re joined by a bonafide expert for this episode: Psychologist Sonali Gupta is in the house to unpackage what’s going on when a listener tells us her ex keeps liking her posts and comments. Does this passive act have a meaning? Come join us for a vocabulary lesson with not just the whys and hows but also the what to do about it! You don’t want to miss this.
Prem & Rogue are back to help you ride the waves of singletonness. So this week we’ve got a follow up to episodes 28 & 29. You’ve gone on date #1 (maybe even 2) and it’s just obvious it’s not going to be the romance (or lay) of the century. How do you deal with it? Write the proverbial ‘Dear John/Jane’ letter or text? Or never return their calls and texts? We have Prem’s new and improved advice for you.
We just can’t give enough, but that’s how we are: Giving! And we want you to take … our advice. In Episode 29, we continue with our Back to Basics theme. We’ve got the do’s and don’ts for how to deal with a bad first (or second) date. Do you just ghost? Or go the Dear John/Jane route? Prem & Rogue have totally different approaches.
Episode 28 has one of our favorite guests returning to the show: It’s the Love Doctor! She’s got the lowdown on WHERE dating couples can go have sex especially when they live with their parents. It’s a genuine #ThirdWorldProblem, you know? Even Prem & Rogue have faced it at some point.
The LSDcast is never a dull one. On this episode we go from philosophical to bawdy within 30 minutes. Tune in. One of our listeners has had some athletic sex with a partner who wants to be choked and flogged. He’s unsure of how to proceed; we’re going to whip up some fun here, we hope you’re not too tied up as we tickle the subject of BDSM.
