They answer listeners questions each week (or yours today) – typically questions that people are too afraid to ask at home, too embarrassed to ask at school, or too hard to ask their partners.

The Sex Wrap is produced by The Podglomerate.

I know this is an old episode but it did remind me of a severe case of blue balls (called lovers balls in England) I had many years ago when I was in my early twenties. My girlfriend and I had been making out for hours in her room but she lived at home so sex wasn't an option. When I got home they were still aching so I masturbated as I thought it relieve the ache, it did but when I actually came there was an intense pain from my balls which fortunately only lasted a minute or so. So, just a word of caution when seeking relieve.

I'm guilty of having ghosted several people. I never felt bad because I had only been on one date with them but I ghosted a guy that I went on several dates and I did like him but he did something I didn't like and I didn't want to explain it to him cause i felt shy about it so i ghosted him and I've regretted it ever since. it's just better to voice your feelings.

good stuff, it's hard dating when you have to start over each time someone Ghost you... I mean think of the sexual implications if you get ghosted and don't know who you had sex with

So I should be wearing pink, crying regularly and in general trying to access feminine emotions? That's the fast lane to no respect from my wife, or anyone I know. Ironic that you guys say suicide is much higher for men, yet it's even worse for gay men, which you suggest all men should behave like.
