Summary

If you’ve ever wondered – Is my sex life with my partner normal? Should we be having more sex? How much sex is everyone else having? – this episode is for you. We gathered a ton of data from our audience about the stages of their relationships and how often they’re having sex. We discuss how your sex life changes when you move in with someone, get married, and have kids, plus we break down the reasons couples aren’t doing it and what gets in the way most. And we also talk about scheduling sex – who’s doing this and why, and does it lead to more/better intimacy? Before we get into the topic, we’re talking about shopping for Indian attire for Ashley’s wedding, why Rayna crashed out right before we recorded, and an update on Azul’s teeth. Enjoy!

Welcome back.

What?

0:35.0

I cut myself shaving on my face, which I'll tell you.

2:35.8

Let's hear it. I tried to destroy my whole body at my face before I left the house today. So first of all, I, you know, I'm like a psycho about people in my house, like eating, drinking. I want to let red wine in my house. Yeah, walking, anything. How dare you? I'm very careful. Come into this house and try to live. I don't want it. So I, this morning, I've never gotten anything on any of my furniture. I had just nothing. One time I had sex on that white couch and that's it. And even then I didn't get on it. No, I just let them come inside of me. Yeah. But this morning I was eating cold pasta with marinera sauce. With your hands. No, the four. Well, I just I put your head. Well, I was eating cold pasta with marinerosa with your hands. No, with a fork. Well, I would be. I'm so aware of the house. I love to eat some tortellini with my hands. Oh. It's nice. It is nice. Slimy little fingers in there. I was doing Pente and it's a little marginally harder than a tortellini. I was sorry about it. Continue. You got in trouble for doing that. I got in trouble for doing that in my fiance's car. Eating penny with my favorite. You love to stick your fingers into somebody else's food. You love your fingers. It was my food. You're always like to pitch your fingers. I traveled with my penny penny. No matter what I guess. It was in the overhead bin. It's disgusting. It's so weird quality. I love it. No, I feel like I need to, just, I don't want to cut your story. I'm okay. People that bring food to the airport are so weird to me, like homemade food. Tracy Ellis Ross says she will not eat airplane food. Because what's worse? Your nice home-cooked meal or the airplane food, they heated up at 20,000 feet in a microwave. Mentally, it's... But don't judge bringing your own food. Our queen, Tracy Ellis Ross, was like, I will not. I bring my own shit. Listen, that's better because it's probably full of seed oils and it's bad for you. And it's heated up in aluminum and plastic. Thank you. It's so bad for you. Thank you. Thank you. People tell you you should never drink water or coffee on an airplane. Yeah. No, I, my elbow hit the fork. The pasta went flying, tomato sauce all over my kitchen stools,

2:36.5

which are tan.

2:37.2

Reno, stop.

2:38.6

I'm like, I shuddered.

2:42.0

Marinera sauce in little penny shapes all over.

2:46.6

They're like, it's linen, it's hard to clean.

2:47.9

You have the same bar stools that I have.

2:50.4

Can you imagine little penny shaped marinara? I'm picturing the way the sauce is flying through the air in slow-mo and landing on the cream-colored barstools. Like 12 little pennies covered in Maranara. So I'm like, motherfucker. So I get up. I'm like covering it and oxyclean. I'm scrubbing. I'm blotting. I'm like, whatever. I move that chair away to, like, clean it more later. I sit back down to do episode prep, and I punch my coffee off of the counter onto the other stool. And coffee just explodes all over the other. How are you here? I don't know. How did you make it through the morning? So brave. I'm so brave. This feels like this would be the end for you. She died. She loved it. Losing her mind. Crashing out about her home. So I don't know what's going to happen when I get home. Everything is covered in oxyclean. It's been scrubbed. Like, it's really terrifying. I don't even want to go home. I thought this was

3:41.0

going to be a story about you cutting your face shaving. I did that too. Okay. And that pales in

3:45.7

comparison now. Yeah, I don't even care about that anymore. But also, I'm not like a, I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm not clumsy person. I don't, I like, I'm, I have control of my body. It's not that big. I don't have

3:41.0

long limbs. I'm very in control. I didn't, well, I drank last night, but like not a lot.
