Hairy Situations, Knowledge Gaps, Animal Spirits, Facial Demands, Animals
24/11/2023 Duration: 01h04minYou're on a date with a woman, someone to whom you're pretty attracted, and she doesn't know a piece of information you thought was common knowledge. How should you react? Does it matter? Is it an opportunity to teach each other things about the world, or is it an indication that she won't be able to "keep up" with you? Speaking of enlightenment, are women more enlightened than men when thinking about sex? Only in the period just after achieving climax do men have a glimpse at objectivity about sex, whereas for women that's more the normal state. At least, I think so. If your partner specifically asked you for a facial, would you give it to her? Or would you be somewhat reluctant, wondering if it's something she "really" wants to have happen? And, what should a woman do if she finds out her partner has been consuming fetish porn that she finds ... troubling?

Lube Lessons, Older Meets Younger, Condom Presumption, Male Eruptions
17/11/2023 Duration: 01h04minI think women are well within their rights to be proud or self-assured when they see their male partner's penis erupt into a fountain of semen during a sex session. It's reassuring, and it certainly suggests that his attraction is strong and enduring. But in a scientific sense, what it really means is that he's just masturbating less. Storing up his reserves, as it were, to release them on his partner. Now, this isn't necessarily a contrary indicator: His decreased masturbation frequency probably does mean he's pretty interested in the relationship. Something similar applies to a situation where someone realizes that their date has brought condoms to the party. It's a sign that sex was expected to be in the offing. The important question we analyze is whether that is presumptuous and/or problematic. And, wen a 50 year old man realizes he's not attracted physically to women his age, and not attracted mentally to those 30 years his junior, is the proper response to become asexual and take up a hobby?

Soul Mate Seeking, Pegging Agreements, Small Packages, Female Self-Pleasuring During The Act
10/11/2023 Duration: 01h04minStraight back from a Covid-induced hiatus, Keith explains that fickle-ish women on dating apps aren't willing to wait out his illness for a chance to meet him. Except one, who may or may not have prepared him a steaming bowl of soup, which he may or may not have accepted. Speaking more globally, why is it that women are messaged that they shouldn't care about the things in men that they likely do care about: intelligence, ambition, ability. Instead, romantic notions seem to suggest that some random guy out there might be a "soul mate". Let's say you've made an agreement with your partner to accept pegging, and in return, your "fetish" of analizing her will be realized. She pegs you, and then she reneges. How upset should you be about this state of affairs? And, is it fair for her to peg you with an instrument that's exactly the same size as yours, or should it be a bit bigger given her likely smaller stature.

A Hungry MMF Beast, Women Climaxing Too Easily, Men Climaxing Too Slowly, The Illustrated Man
09/11/2023 Duration: 01h02minA friend tells you a story about a woman he's dating. He mentions that she climaxes so easily that he has difficulty even holding hands with her, lest it trigger her. What's your thought process? Does she have a medical condition? Is she telling the truth? Is she clear on what an orgasm even feels like? Now, let's say you're a woman, and you're married to a man who likes to draw sexually explicit pictures of redheaded women. You're not a redhead. Should you be jealous or angry? Or does it not really matter? And, what if he slips off to do it at inconvenient times? If your female partner wants to have an MMF threesome with you, and the other man wants to "eat the leavings" after you and your partner have PIV sex, should you be ok with that? Does it matter if a man ingests your semen after you've made the deposit?

Cis-Orgasms, Failure To Launch Orally, Feeling Her Climax, Campground Sex Noises
27/10/2023 Duration: 01h03minLike a warm placid river running down her tongue to her throat. That's more or less how Ally describes the crucial last moments of oral pleasure as she gives it to her male partner. "It irrigates my tonsils," she says, as she relaxes into her easy chair. "It's like he's delivering me a medicine I didn't know I wanted, but I did." This self-evident truth shouldn't distract you, dear listener, from the other important topics discussed in this week's installment of YMMV. We discuss attractiveness levels as a person ages, followed by a discussion of what truly constitutes a "God Pussy" (c.f. the subreddit of the same name). It should come as little surprise that some men have a hard time telling when their partner is having a real orgasm, cleverly named by Mike as a "Cis-Orgasm," following the conventions of America in the 20's. And, what is a man to do who wants his female partner to be more dominant? We get a lot of our questions from Reddit, so for our listeners' enjoyment, here are links to some of the quest

How Can Women Be Dominant? Cheating Spouses, No Sex Before Marriage, Female Climax Confusion
20/10/2023 Duration: 01h05minKeith has rediscovered the Amazon position, so we take a look at some videos that listeners will likely enjoy. It's one of the ways a woman can be more dominant in the bedroom, but it's a tricky position, as it requires the man to be "bent" downward in a way that might make the action difficult for him. So what's a dominant woman to do? We discuss some strategies which make use of their talents without requiring less-common activities such as pegging. A woman "used to be" a serial cheater, making her partner pretty uncomfortable. Another declared suddenly that there would be no more sex before marriage. And, if a woman doesn't feel anything during her climax, what does that suggest?

Sugar-Escort Axis, Partially Open Marriages, Partner Mutual Pleasure, Liking Odd Smells
13/10/2023 Duration: 01h04minThere's a fine line between being a sugar baby and an escort. The question is how do you draw the line properly, and who falls on which side of it? Regardless, it's tricky to keep doing it after a certain age; once some amount of attractiveness wears off, she risks becoming yesterday's news. There are a lot of things that attract men to women, but "smell" usually is relatively far down on the list, unless you're talking about perfume. This is particularly the case for odors most consider objectionable. But, one man claims it's his fetish. Speaking of odors, what's behind someone wanting both partners to shower every time before they do the deed? And, what is the right approach to partners self-pleasuring in front of one another? Here is the link we discussed at the beginning of the recording: https://ymmv.me/138/sugar We get a lot of our questions from Reddit, so for our listeners' enjoyment, here are links to some of the questions we discussed this week: https://ymmv.me/138/smell https://ymmv.me/138/shower

Human Pheromones, Consent Coercion, Oral Demands, Men Fleeing Aftercare
06/10/2023 Duration: 01h04minWe discuss the extent to which asking for consent and consent culture generally alter time-honored mating rituals. No cultural change is likely to dramatically reduce the young male libido, so does consent culture just shift the situation to him constantly demanding consent for sex? Is that actually better for his potential partner? Along the same dating axis, what is the right way to mirror your date's drinking habits? If you're not interested in drinking as much as her, can you accomplish that without her thinking something is awry? A man wants to know whether his wife is detecting his pheromones when she consistently initiates sex after he's just masturbated. A woman is concerned about how completely disinterested in sex her male partner becomes after the act is finished. And, how far can a man take "demanding" oral sex before it becomes abusive?

Small Sex Dolls, Vulva Color, Resensitization, Best Sex Partner Ever
21/09/2023 Duration: 01h04minIf you're a woman and you are ready to commit to a man, it makes sense to me that you should "decide" he is your best-ever sex partner. My general sense is there probably isn't a hug difference between most of your "good" partners -- I know that some are just awful. So, assuming he's in the quality pile, it shouldn't be hard to do. But if you can't do it, you should be asking yourself why not, and what it is about that guy who still fills your daydreams that really turned you on. Maybe you've picked the wrong guy? We talk a fair bit about death grip, and the female equivalent, "white claw". But, a less common issue is when a man does something that makes him more sensitive in the bedroom and becomes a premature ejaculator. Should he worry about this, or will it take care of itself? An insensitive man made the mistake of telling his partner that he has vulval preferences. Is she wrong to be upset? Sure, there's not much she can do about it, but it's the same situation for other physical attributes. And, what l

Regretful Camgirls And Politicians, Somnophilia, Extenders, Too Much Free Use?
14/09/2023 Duration: 01h05minWhat do a politician and a regretful camgirl have in common? Quite a lot in this day and age, where they can be one and the same. If I decided to join Chaturbate as anything other than one of the infamous "grays" who never tip, I'd definitely scratch "politician" off my list of life goals. Same goes for hosting a sex podcast, probably. I wonder, what percentage of camgirls decide later that maybe they regret the career choice. Does their feeling change depending on how successful they've been monetarily? Maybe fame makes a difference? We revisit the age-old question of whether a penis extender is a good or bad idea for a man's self esteem. We investigate yet another couple's free use arrangement. And, does wanting to have sex with a sleeping partner imply something more?

Body Count, Freezing Condoms, Oral Orgasm Signals, Pedo Prophylaxis
07/09/2023 Duration: 01h03minI'm old enough to remember back when Body Count was the name of Ice-T's band, which produced the single Cop Killer. This was back before he made his bones by pursuing his true passion as a detective in New York City. So women's body count has become the new version of Baby Got Back. You've got Becky on one side critiquing other women's assets, while other women argue that it shouldn't matter at all. What's the truth? Does it matter at all? It's pretty obvious that it's going to come down to what a woman values in life and whether her chosen body count gets her there. This is made more difficult, of course, if people aren't willing to be honest about what they want. In other matters, we've got a woman with the curious practice of freezing her sex partner's used condoms, presumably to save the semen. But what for? Is it really that hard to get a man to give you his semen the natural way? Maybe she thinks freezing the condom will turn her baby into some kind of superhero. Ice-Man or something. And, what's the be

Hotwife Hell, Male Oral Anxiety, Saving Used Condoms, Chris Hansen Enters The Podcast
31/08/2023 Duration: 01h01minSure, there is a subset of women who want to be dominant in their relationships, but it's decidedly not the majority. And few, if any, women want to contend with a man insisting that his parts be locked up in a cock n' ball cage or that he wear ladies' garments while she pegs him. At some point, enough is enough. Further up the male sex spectrum, what about these men "caught" by the To Catch A Predator show. Is it entrapment? Can they be sure these aren't lonely men who would vastly prefer a non-underage girl but who felt (for whatever reason) like they had no other options? And, how should a man go about "guarding" his semen after depositing it in a condom? What's the true risk and downside if his female partner uses it in some nefarious way later? Could he microwave it to render it inert, or would it be too weird to run to the kitchen with a fully loaded prophylactic?

A World Of Musks, Doing More For Your Partner, Cumming Inside And Outside
24/08/2023 Duration: 01h02minOn this episode we discuss how many children a modern billionaire could bequeath to the world. Given technology, the numbers have to be north of 100,000 children, assuming said billionaire is a man. Honestly I don't understand why no one has considered doing this, especially given how much money could be willed to each kid. What better way to secure a legacy? We discuss a man who is doing "everything" in his relationship but his wife just wants to masturbate and doesn't really want to have sex with him. Is there something more he should be doing, or does she have a paramour? Is it reasonable for a man to be nervous about "transferring" his semen to his partner, especially if he's unsure about her birth-control status? And, is it reasonable for her to be upset because he doesn't trust her?

Loose Lips, Small Bits, Male Oppression, Free Will, Mating Strategies, Chess Vs Checkers
17/08/2023 Duration: 01h03minFollowing up on last week's episode, some listeners (primarily female) have taken the position that Mike is misogynistic for his portrayal of the typical woman's strategy for finding a partner and for sex in general. To respond to this, Mike provides a steel-manned case that he believes matches what these women believe. This was done in good faith in an effort to produce a convincing argument for how and why his own argument was misogynistic. A discussion then ensues about the quality of this case and whether it's actually a reasonable explanation of how women choose partners and pursue sex. We also tackle the subject of a man who is upset because his female partner noticed that his penis isn't very big when flaccid and had some choice words to say about it. And, can a woman really be loose?

Younger Mistresses, Herpes Prevalence, Golden Spigots, Proper Bikini Shaving, Truth
10/08/2023 Duration: 01h02minEarly in this episode, Keith baits Mike into a fairly long and complete heteronormative verbal screed. This doesn't meant it's wrong; it's right. There aren't many folks out there with direct access to the light of Truth. For musical rivals Prince and Michael Jackson, Truth came from some guy named Jehovah. For Mike, it boils down to cultural artifacts passed down throughout all of human history. That out of the way, we tackle a man who, in his late 40s, has discovered he can take on a mistress in her 20s and abandon his wife. This is sort of a 50-50 proposition in the long run, but I can understand the core of his thinking. Should you tell a prospective partner that you have Herpes? I can hear you saying, "Yes!" But what if I told you that virtually everyone has Herpes (except Mike), so telling them this just risks relationship failure without really doing anyone any good? Is omitting this information the better move? And, what should a man do if his female partner makes a sexual request, not once but twice.

Barbie Heteronormative? Cum Reliability Thresholds, Stuck Condoms, Blow Refusals, Hot Exercise Videos
03/08/2023 Duration: 01h04minIf I were a therapist, and a couple came in for counseling, sex would be on the agenda as a topic of conversation. I'd be suspicious if one of the partners completely took it off the table. Before you ask, I am cognizant that, despite Michael Phelps' claims to the contrary, the evidence for the efficacy of most types of therapy is weak. Is there an orgasm reliability threshold below which a typical man would pretty much stop masturbating? Is it reasonable for his female partner to feel "used" if they frequently have sex where he doesn't finish? What really is the difference from her perspective? And, is the new Barbie movie reinforcing outmoded stereotypes, or merely bringing them back into fashion where they belong? Either way, the movie's success hasn't done much for Mattel's stock price.

Female Fake Orgasm Spectrum, Too Long, Too Short, Male Climax Clues
27/07/2023 Duration: 01h04minFor a man, orgasms are pretty much binary. Sure, there are some tantra afficionados who will tell you that ejaculation and orgasm for a man can be separate and the like. But for most men, they either cum or they don't, and the semen is the proof. For women, the tale of the tape can be quite different. We can all agree that a woman is "faking it" if she receives nothing resembling an orgasm from the act. But what if she has one proper orgasm and then a series of "aftershocks". Should she be accused of faking if the subsequent events are, in her mind, orgasms in their own right? Alongside this, why do men obsess over being able to "make" a woman orgasm. Sure, I can see the allure of her receiving intense pleasure from the same organ that gives you such pleasure (I'm referring to your penis). But, women's pleasure isn't really vicarious in this way. They have their own apparatus to manage. And, as with most things in life, to do it well you must first do it yourself. Can any woman (or man for that matter) seriou

Double Wrapping, Rhythm Method, Pulling Out, Is Submission Gay? Adieu Lolita
20/07/2023 Duration: 01h03minIt turns out Keith hasn't had partnered sex in some time, so he's simultaneously adjusting to the situation and looking for a way to change it. Fortunately for us, that probably only serves to increase his interest in discussing sex and relationships. If a woman absolutely doesn't want to take hormonal birth control, what are the reasonable options for them? Is she just in for a lot of semen in her mouth, or does the rhythm method actually work if used very carefully? What makes a sex act gay? Does that even mean anything, or is the real distinction between acts that are more and less dominant and submissive? Does a man wanting to be penetrated in some way suggest something about him? And, what to do if you're in a dead bedroom situation, you try to communicate, your partner listens to YMMV, but there's still no spark?

Dating Repartee, Cum Souvenirs, Mediocre Sex With Beautiful Women, Double Your Pleasure
13/07/2023 Duration: 57minBack from Europe, Keith offers a way to break the ice with women on a date in a way that gets them talking about things they enjoy discussing. It's a reasonable suggestion, and one that Mike unwittingly deployed recently at the grocery store as well. Keith wants to know if there's anything that an attractive woman can do without being super aggressive that would be a complete turn-off to a man during an early sexual encounter with her. Is repulsion even possible in that situation? If a man is very attracted to a woman, and that woman has a twin sister, will the man be attracted to the twin as well? And, if the man becomes less attracted to his partner for whatever reason, will he start finding the sister more and more attractive? Can this cause relationship problems? Me, I have very little experience with twins. Twinks, sure, but not twins. A woman wants to save her boyfriend's semen as a "souvenir". Another is concerned because her husband has lost sexual interest in her. And a man, in a curiously female-sou

Are Women Superior To Men? An Interview With Dr. Ricky Arenson
06/07/2023 Duration: 01h03minMike interviews Dr. Ricky Arenson on today's show, a doctor based in Perth who has written a book about heterosexual relationships and hosts his own podcast as well (links below). Given Ricky's status as an endocrinologist, Mike tried quickly to pin him down on the orgasm question. Namely, is there some sort of source of pleasure chemicals in the body which can run out, therefore invalidating people's claims of large numbers of orgasms in quick succession? Sadly, Ricky did not validate Mike's prior, and the reality is a bit more nuanced. Most importantly, we talked about issues affecting typical heterosexual relationships, a topic that can sometimes be drowned out by those who don't view that lifestyle as worthy of discussion. We also discussed such topics as trans people, libido mismatches in relationships and gender differences in what's attractive. And, what impact can testosterone therapy have on male libido? Ricky's book is titled "Women Are Superior To Men" and his podcast is called "Happy Healthy Ever
