Summary

Consider this episode Better Sex 101. We are joined by Dr. Nicole McNichols, hailed America’s #1 sex professor, for an in-depth discussion about how to level up your pleasure, starting with yourself and understanding the hierarchy of sexual needs. We talk about libido fluctuating over time and the factors that affect it, what sexual mindfulness is and how to practice it, how to work through body image issues, and the small but simple life hacks for better sex. Then we discuss sex in long-term relationships – why planning intimacy is hot and leads to higher sexual satisfaction, how to keep falling in love with your partner, the different types of intimacy, why "distance makes the heart grow fonder” is a myth, and if couples can get freakier later in life. We then dive into the dynamics of casual sex (why it’s not for everyone and how to know if it’s for you) and Gen Z (why they’re having less sex but may be more intentional about it, porn problems, and more). Before Nicole joins us, we catch up on Rayna’s bodysuit malfunction, Ashley’s elite concert experience, and we have another gift opening on air. Enjoy!

Listen, the episode came out with Shishonk, and it was really great. I know, it's great. Cute, and he did a great job, but we did it. We did it have to do a test run. I will say that. And I love that about him. He doesn't want to do this. Listen, couldn't be me being with somebody who needs to hold a microphone. A hundred percent. Find me a man that wants no presence anywhere besides in my bedroom. When we filmed his video for Kitchen Sink, I was like, we are at no risk of him wanting to become an influencer. He fucking hated it. He hated that. He hated this. He loved, you know, doing girls got to eat. He loves the podcast.

1:10.8

Sure. But he does not have any desire. And that's what I want in a partner. What a gift. Yeah. What a gift. Listen, I, I woke up this morning and I read the comments on Spotify because it was our first week doing video on Spotify. And I mean, it's the most comments I've ever seen on Spotify that early in the morning.

1:28.7

People like love the dynamic.

1:30.1

It made me like so happy to be like if I can't be in my home, then like somebody that I love who represents me well is in my home. Who doesn't want your job? Well, he can't have it. But he's not coming for it. He's not coming for even. you know, like in nobody wants this. They brought in like Noah, Noah's Corner or whatever. Yeah, whatever they called it. Whatever they called it. Yeah. Like, no, he wants no part of that. Like, he was like, I don't want to be given dating advice. I don't want people to want anything for me. I just, listen, I love Andrew Collins so much. He's one of our closest

2:02.0

friends. I love him so much, but I podcasted them twice as the only other co-hosts. And I missed you. I always miss you. This seems like a man problem. Oh, you've men. I would be a little more concerned if it was a woman. I really would. Like, I could see like some of our friends like Taylor Strecker co-hosting with you and I would be a little more concerned.

2:18.3

Oh, I just meant like they're not friends like Taylor Strecker co-hosting with you and I would be a little more concerned.

2:18.3

Oh, I just meant like they're not as good because they're men. That's where I was going. And are the problem. No, next time we'll have women. Less men on this show and on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. No, we love Andrew. We love Shishong, obviously. you made him yeah so i'm I'm wearing a body suit today, and it's, you know, I always like to say, just if I appear to be uncomfortable, that's why.

2:39.2
