Look into his eyes. They're the eyes of a man obsessed by sex.

Eyes that mock our sacred institutions. Bedroom eyes, they call them in a bygone day.

Hey Emily, you got a boyfriend?

Cuz my man E here, he just.

Got his heart broken. He thinks you're kind of cute.

The girl's gotta have her standards.

Oh my.

The women know about shrinkage. Is it common knowledge?

What do you mean? Like laundry? It shrinks. Can we not talk about sex so much? Are you kidding me? Oh my God, I feel so good.

Being bad feels pretty good. You know, Emily's not the kind of girl you just play with.

Hey. How you doing?

I'm great.

How are you?

Good. I got to hang out with you over the weekend. That was exciting.

That was super exciting. We never get to do the festival thing on the weekends.

I did leave you an annoyance, though. I was annoyed, if that's even.

You left because I was dancing. Whatever.

No, no, I was just annoyed by something that happened, like, a couple of minutes before that.

You are against. You scare people. My interns were like, I think Menace is mad. Or da, da. Well, you know, you just got this aloof kind of. What thing.

But you're so deal with stupidity, too. Well.

Right.

You know, that's. That's what I don't deal with.

Right. I get it. But we were just. We should fill everyone in where we were.

Yeah, go ahead and do that, and then I'll tell you the story why I was, like, so upset.

Okay, I need to know why Menace was really upset with me and walked away. I was dancing and having fun, and he's like. He turns around and leaves me.

I wasn't upset with you. I was upset with your assistant.

I know. Okay, so here's the deal. So everyone got a little drunk, okay? We went to the Treasure Island Music Festival, which is this amazing music festival in San Francisco on Treasure island, which is a little island right outside the city. And there was. How many people there would you say? Mattis?

I'd say 40,000. No, not that much.

20,000, maybe.

20,000. Over the weekend.

Over the weekend. Great bands, lots of fun. And we had our first. For me, it was a really big deal because we had our first sex with Emily Booth. We've never had a public presence at a festival before. You know, I'm on the radio doing my thing behind the scenes. But really, it was amazing. Booth we had. And we had a lot of stuff going on. We were raffling away free copies of my book, Hot Sex, which you can get in stores right now and on Amazon.com, hot sex, over 200 things you can try tonight. And Jimmy Jane, we were giving away these beautiful Jimmy Jane toys. If you've not checked out Jimmy Jane, they've got amazing sex toys, vibrators, toys, whatever. And we were giving those away. We did a raffle. But the biggest thing in the booth was, was our Carnal Confessions wall. So we had hundreds of people come up. We had a wall, and people could tie luggage tags with their confessions. And some people are kind of dirty.

It was real. Those were really good.

And hopefully we're gonna read them tomorrow. I didn't bring today. I'm gonna bring them in tomorrow and read some of them. Because people were really, like, open, like, I think I'm gay. Or like, I one time had sex or put, like, my. What was that guy saying? I put my penis in a melon or something. And then penis almost burnt off. People, like, were telling again in a cooked melon. Like, crazy weird stuff.

But people were.

So. They kept coming back. Like, I heard about this booth, and I'm like, it's kind of cathartic to write your confessions and let it blow in the wind. And they're all blowing there in the wind. It was beautiful.

One of my favorite things was you had the big sex with Emily sign on the booth, and every girl named Emily had to come and take a picture under the sign.

I know, it was hilarious. And wear stickers and stuff. It's funny because Emily has been the most popular name in America for, like, the last 15 years.

Yeah, it was really. It was really cool.

It was impressive. We pulled it off. We did a live show, which was kind of crazy. I made the mistake. Not a mistake. My interns are awesome. They're there for 12 hours a day. And yesterday, alcohol is expensive. So I brought them some booze.

Yeah.

And they went through with like, I. I'm like six bottles of wine, a bottle of tequila, and a bottle of whiskey was gone in, like, two hours. So then they started disappearing. I was probably a mistake, but next time, maybe I'll just pace out the alcohol throughout the day.

You should do that.

Thanks. I'm learning.

That's what. That's what happens. The NF shows all the. Because I can't, you know, I. I can't drink because I have to deal with people that I see constantly, right? With, you know, work stuff. And I go to these festivals and I cover them for. For work.

So I.

Where I. Where I left you last night was because your interns were so gone and your. Your assistant. I. I knew it was time to go when was standing there and I was with my friend, and we. My friend and I weren't drinking and everyone else was. And some guy comes up and he's super wasted, right? And he was being an asshole, okay? And he comes up and he talks to Kelsey. Right?

Right.

He talks to Kelsey. And I go. And then he goes away, and I go, who is that guy? And she goes, what guy? I go, the guy was just here. And they go. She goes, there wasn't any guy. I go, the guy that just Asked you for a lighter and you said you didn't have one. She goes, that didn't happen. Are you serious right now? I go, are you. Are you playing? Are you serious? There was no guy here. Okay.

All right. It's time to exit. It's time for me to go.

Okay.

Because I'm in the twilight.

That's why, you know. Yeah, whatever. We were busy. We were busy getting. We got busy drinking. Hundreds of people. No, we've got. We got 800, 900 people who signed. Gave her the email.

It was a really. It was a really good time.

I know. It was great time to see you. Okay. Today's show, I'm really.

Tell her that I'm not really mad at her. I'm just giving her a hard time. I just don't.

That's how you roll.

Yeah. I just need to get.

But our show was really funny. We did a live show from there. A pre recorded show.

Yeah, I gotta edit it up and we'll put it up on the website.

Yeah, that's good.

They will also help to increase your stamina, which will prevent premature ejaculation, which is a huge issue for men. Premature ejaculation. I had some guy talking to me, but one of your friends was talking to me about. Oh, no, no, no. When we were doing the show yesterday, one of your friends came up and said, with this one girl, I couldn't get hard and I premature ejaculated all the time. But it was only for a year and then it never happened to him again. Who was that dude? He was very open because we were not only having people confess on the wall, but when we were doing our live show, we pulled people in from the audience. Actually make confessions.

Yeah, they. It was just some guy with.

Okay, so he had a penis problem. He did, yeah. And I.

We asked him all these questions and he's like, no, she was just super hot. And I think he was just nervous.

He was right. That happens to men and women all the time. We get nervous.

We're gonna do that, right?

Okay, so I've got some. What else we've talked about yesterday. Anything else that you were annoyed with that you'd like to air?

Anything else?

I was annoyed with your.

There was a lot of beautiful women there. That was really cool, right? Yeah. If you want to go see beautiful women, I guess go to concerts.

Yeah. But not all concerts.

No, these were.

These were, like, cool. Yeah. Like cool hipster chicks.

Right.

Not the, like, drunken, wasted. But there was.

Except for my B.O.

I was annoyed by. I really get annoyed by drunk white chicks because they just love dancing and screaming. Like, not even with the music, you know, it's like totally off.

Just white chicks.

Yeah.

Don't discriminate.

No, I just. I'm not discriminating. I'm. I'm basing it on facts that.

Okay. That white chicks dance to the wrong music.

Right.

That's hilarious.

They're probably some of them at concerts, but other than that, no, it was a really good time.

Did you get laid this weekend?

I did not get laid. I was working all weekend.

Okay. Whatevs. He never tells me.

Anyway, I did have a fun after party where a lot of my co workers came over to my house for like an hour. Okay. Before they went to another after party. And I convinced them to get into the Teletubby outfit. So I put some of those photos on my Instagram.

So if you gotta check out Menace on Instagram.

Yeah, White Menace on Instagram.

He's obsessed with his Teletubby costume for our guests.

Who doesn't know? I have this Teletubby outfit that I have.

It's the gay Teletubby.

The gay Teletubby, but he's not gay. Which I did not know that it was a gay Teletubby when I bought it.

Yeah.

So I have it at my house. I'm gonna use it for Halloween, but it sits there. So every time somebody comes over. Now it's now the requirement if you come to my house, you have to wear the Teletubby outfit. And I.

What makes it gay? What. What's the.

I don't know. I think the crazy. One of those crazy Christian groups were saying that he was the gay Teletubby because he had the. He had a triangle on top of his head. And also he had a man purse that he would carry around.

Does that make him gay?

I don't know if it was Gucci or Louie, but he had a man purse. So the. The. I could be totally wrong on my facts on who brought it out as the gay, but I assume it was the. The Christian Coalition or whatever that brought it out. And now he is known as the Gay Teletubby.

Okay, so you're the gay Teletubby.

So I'm gonna be the gay Teletubby.

You got your Halloween costume ready to go? It's next weekend, right?

Next weekend? Halloween? Well, no.

Kind of. Oh, the weekend after Halloween.

Two weeks.

Two weeks.

Whatever. I don't even know what day it is. It is the 17th of October. Yeah, I know that. I'm reading it right in front of me. And then the other amazing thing was how many people were at the festival asking me questions, like, specifically, like, asking me specific sex questions, like about their relationships, about orgasms. Like, one guy said that his girlfriend, he was really bummed out. He, like, pulled me aside, and he's like, she can only have an orgasm if she uses a vibrator. And do you think that's okay? Because he was feeling challenged by that and that he was feeling like he wasn't providing for her. And I said, well, only 30% of women have orgasms actually during intercourse. So using a vibrator, like, you should be psyched that she's getting off. And he was, like, against using it. And then the next day, that night, he went home and used it with her. And he came back the next day and he was like, it was fine. She had an orgasm. I feel so much better. So I helped someone have better sex. Just like a festival. I feel better about that.

People are really excited that you were giving away sex toys also.

I know, Jimmy J. They're the most amazing sex toys. They're really beautiful.

You didn't do that.

We're gonna do a raffle. We should pull the names on the show and call people and tell them they won.

Oh, and we owe your intern who's in the studio right now a sex toy. She said she really wanted one.

Really?

Yeah.

What does she want? She's all my interns. All they do is get sex Toys.

Okay.

We just gotta get thousands of condoms from Lifestyles too.

It could have been you. Did you say that, or am I just making that up?

Okay.

Oh, yeah, she lost her phone, so she wants to replace her phone with the phone with the vibrator. Dude, women, you know. I'm not just talking about you. I'm talking about all women if they lose their phone, holy crap. It is the end of the world.

I've been dealing with this all morning. I'm buying her a new phone because.

I don't know what to do. I talked to her about it, I calmed her down so she wasn't too extreme, but. Oh, my God.

Well, it's hard if you lose your phone. You got all your stuff on it.

Because she was not to be sexist, because, you know, I'm never sexist. She was a typical woman. I go, well, you know, you got it backed up.

Don't ever assume we're backed up.

I go, you got it backed up on your computer, right? Like any dude has. And she's like, no, we're gonna work on it.

We're working on it today. We're gonna get it.

But yeah, okay. Things happen. It's just a phone. You're not missing an arm.

No, exactly. You still walk in there, you're fine. Okay, let's get.

She's getting a sex toy and a phone now.

That's exactly. I get everyone sex toys. That's what I do. Okay. Sex the news. Women on the pill are more likely to date a nice guy who's bad in bed. I'd like to know how they did this study. An interesting study conducted by Craig Roberts of Sterling University, Scotland, has found that women taking oral contraception tended to choose mates who lacked sexual prowess. The researchers surveyed 2,500 women in the United States, Czech Republic, Britain and Canada who had had at least one child on whether they were taking the pill when they met their mates. Then they questioned them on their sexual satisfaction. So they tied it. They tied it. The results were the result. The results are owed. Women on the pill were more likely to begin relationships with the guys they weren't physically attracted to. I've heard this before. If you're on the pill, it's obviously messing with your hormones. And it is. Will make a difference on the men that you choose to be with. So basically, taking the pill can make you pick some fumbling five. But you may be into him for his comforting presence as you two marathon.

Watch shitty reality television that is helping out the men of America right there.

I know, Right.

I like that you don't have a kid. You don't have a kid because they're. They suck. And then second, you know if you're bad in bed, you're still getting a chick. So I don't see. I see. It's a win.

Win.

Okay. So women who use oral contraception when they met their partner tended to find them less attractive, engage in compliant sex, and rejected sexual advances more frequently as a relationship progressed. So women on the pill got to take attention to their. Pay attention to their dating. Yeah. Okay. Google powered vibrator brings new meaning to the phrase search engine optimism. Who says that Internet Internet isn't lady friendy? Certainly not the makers of the Google her. A vibrator that turns on every time Google pings your browser. According to FAT's Randy Serafan, who invented the clap off bra. Have you heard of the clap off bra? Like the clapper?

Why haven't you told me this?

I never heard of it until just now.

The clap off bra. No.

Which triggers a pulsation of the vibrator when it's inserted into one of your favorite orifices. Seraphine's instructional video also includes a handy how to guide making your own Google hero. Supplying horny chicks MacGyvers with the tools they need to make their own search engine. Whatever. Just use your vibrator and then Google and do it separately. That sounds really stupid.

Why are you knocking something that's amazing?

What? Every time they get pinged on Google, they're gonna vibrate. What if you're on the mood at that moment to vibrate and you're getting pinged on Google? I don't get it.

No, Every time it's. It's kind of like the thing where you can have sex with. We've talked about this before. My favorite thing. So it's like somebody can ping you on Google. Maybe it's like through Google Chat. If you're happy having a. You know, it's like a sexting conversation and then there's a sex toy operating at the same time. How awesome is that? When you're sexting with somebody. Would you want that?

Yeah, I guess so. If I was sexting with someone and then I.

There was a sex toy attached to your body somewhere while you're sexting with somebody.

So every time he texted me, I would get a vibration.

Yeah.

It wouldn't be consistent enough for me to have an orgasm, though.

What about if he was a really fast texter?

Maybe, but he had to be really fast. What about really fast and Say like this.

Maybe you like him. Take it slow. Maybe a little slow text.

Maybe a little slow text. But then it would just be like, come on, more text, more text. I'd be like, like, like the Pavlovian. Like rat. But like, more texting, more texting.

Mine would be terrible because it would take me so long to figure out how to spell something.

I know. You don't even know how to spell. Yes, right, Exactly. That would be bad. Okay. Jennifer Lopez and Bradley Cooper are together again. Did you hear this? Bradley Cooper was seen in Los Angeles Saturday with the woman paparazzi says is Jennifer Lopez. Apparently he was dating Renee Zellweger. Right. And they broke up. Do you know this?

I haven't heard about this.

He was dating Jennifer Branson.

I never knew Bradley Cooper hung out with J. Lo.

Apparently they're together again and I never knew they were first together. She likes him. That's all it says. They're just all rotating each other.

The only problem is JLo, take a break. Have some time before you start hanging.

Out with your girl.

I know.

Why does everyone have to jump in? You know why I think it is? I think it's because they're in the relationship and it's not like it ended the day we heard about it. It's like for a year they probably been fighting, not getting along, and then it ends and she's like, ready to.

Get laid again with these relationships. I don't understand because I look at some of their schedules, like Katy Perry and whatever. The wacko dude from the uk comedian that thinks he's funny.

Russell Brand.

Russell Brand. Like they're on separate sides of the world all the time. I. I mean, I give them work, right. Like these, you know, people go on movie sets all the time. I don't understand how, how you make it work, how they keep it and.

Then they hook up with other people. Yeah, it's crazy. Did you see Zoe Deschanel? She was there.

I heard a rumor that she was.

Sorry, you didn't see her?

I keeped on seeing her husband, which I wasn't interested in.

No, he loves her. Yeah, love her.

Zooey Deschanel. But I kept on running into he's in love into.

He was distracted.

Her husband, who I have photos of his band, Death Cab for Cutie up on my website, White Menace.com.

Yeah, I like them. I heard them. I know you don't like them, but I liked them.

No, they're cool. They're not. You know, my favorite band, I really liked Empire of the sun we had the day before.

Right.

Because they're very theatrical.

Do you feel different vibes both days of the festival?

Well, it's different genres. The first day is more electronic, which is probably like a younger, crazier, hyped crowd. And then the next day was very, very indie hipsters. Slow tempo.

Yeah, I think that's more me.

And, you know, people are just laid back and relaxing.

Dude, those are my peeps. Loved them. Okay, let's move into some emails.

Okay, cool. I like hearing from the people.

I know we love the people. Thanks everyone for emailing me@feedbackexwithamily.com and you know, if you're a friends with benefits member, you get your emails answered. We give you free sex advice right away and your emails go to the top of the list. So, Emily, I've been using your iPhone app, Kegel Camp. I've only had it one day and I'm already at level two. Is doing the exercises more than once or seven times a day too much? Can I damage myself doing it too much? I only did it four times. Masturbated porn and wow, I came like a porn star. My wife gives me sex once a month. So if I have to watch porn and masturbate every day, so be it. This is from Jason. Okay, so I have an app called Kegel camp that you can buy in the itunes store and it's for the iPhone. Eventually it'll be for the droid. And it's Kegel exercises are for men and women to do and it enhances your orgasms. If you're a man, it's those pee stopping muscles, the muscles that you use to start and stop the flow of urine. You contract and you release and contract them and you do it a few times a day. I don't think that more than more than once or seven times a day is too much. I don't think you're going to damage yourself at all. And it sounds like you had. You came like a porn star and things are great. I don't think that there's a problem for doing too much. If you start feeling any pain or anything at all, you should consult your doctor. I'm not a doctor, but seven times a day is good. You can never do too many kaggle exercises. You can do them when you're just standing around. You can do them right now. Menace if you wanted to. Helps them with premature ejaculation, helps them with stamina and helps women have longer, stronger, more intense orgasms.

That's great, but you never know how to sell your Apple. You never know how to do it. The app is instructed with your voice, right?

Okay.

That's the biggest thing. So do an example of the app.

Okay. I go like this. I'm like, ready, go. Level two.

Constrict, relax. Constrict, relax.

See, now everyone's app.

Now everyone's gonna buy it. That was a little snippet of my iPhone app. But you know what's been so amazing is that creating this app, you never know. Like, are people gonna use it? Are they gonna get it? And I. I've received so many emails from people who are like, it's really helping them change their sex life. So that feels good, you know, when you're making a product and people actually like it. Anthony. We've got Anthony here. We're talking about. We're gonna be talking about manscaping balls. I waxed Mac. Well, I didn't, but one time, I had a bikini waxer show, and Magnus has got his balls waxed on the air.

Never again. Never will I do it again.

We had her come in with her whole rolling thing. She rolled it with wax and waxed his balls. It was awesome.

Did you wash first? Wash that area first to prep the skin?

I guess. I don't remember. It was years ago. I think so.

Yeah. So we're just talking about. It is important to do. We're gonna get into all the. Right. Like, we're gonna get into everything that you need to do for the right manscaping. And because we get emails all the time, people want to know, which I do. Should I trim? Should I shave? Anthony is the pro.

All right. Are we gonna get into it now?

Well, I've got more things, but go ahead.

You want to. We can. We'll go back to that.

Okay. We'll go back to Anthony. I just want to talk.

I just want to talk to him because we just intro'd him. I want to ask you, how did you even. Why did you even come up with all this?

Yeah, let's go into you.

Well, and again, props for getting anthony.com. that's still amazing to me, Anthony.

That's fun story. Different time, different show.

All right, cool.

I was the guy that was into taking good care of myself, looking for good products 12 years ago, 15 years ago, and at that time, there was really nothing on the market for men. There's maybe one or two brands, just a few products, and I felt that the market was growing. If I was into it, there must be a lot of other guys into it as well. Too. So really I was a frustrated consumer. I was the guy that would go into stores like Sephora, Nordstrom, look for good quality skincare, and again, found nothing. So I thought maybe there's an opportunity. So I started doing some research. And what I did was I went to maybe 10 different stores and bought probably $3,000 worth of products, everything that you could use from shaving cream, body cleansing gel, shampoos, aftershave type products, and really just tried everything. And that sort of set the foundation as to the research. And then I did two years of research and product development and really identified the need for a complete men's grooming line from head to toe. And we launched in October of 2000 at Sephora. And today we have six different brands for different kinds of skin conditions for, for men and for women. And we're sold in about 25 countries and roughly 2,500 stores.

Nice.

Amazing. Like Barney's.

Yeah, Barney's, Sephora, Nordstrom, Blue Mercury, Space, and K. A lot of the chains, more of the retail chains and a.

Lot of the amazing products, I've used it. For me, you have products, but I've used the men products too. The male.

Have you found since then that it's more in the public eye?

Yeah, I mean, in the last 10 years, men are really like, 10 years ago it was very taboo to even talk about an eye cream, for example.

Right.

So now it's, you know, like everybody uses. Yeah, it's like standard. I mean, so we're making products now that, you know, even five years ago, people wouldn't even consider using men.

Right. Because I've been using eye cream.

But men, men specifically. But what we've learned is that because our price point is such, where it's geared towards a man, many of our customers are women buying the products for themselves because the products have to be great, otherwise men won't buy them. So if the efficacy there, if the products are really, really good, women will certainly spend $25 on a moisturizer as opposed to spending $50 on a moisturizer that does the same thing, if not.

Better, because it's for men. Right. I totally get it. Yeah, it's true. It's very expensive what women have to do and what we have to go through. So men should have to do it too.

Yeah, it's actually. I don't know if you watch the real world at all, but the.

The guy missed that one.

One of the main guys, though, he. That was a big part of the show. He's really into all that stuff.

Right.

You should watch it. Like, he's like, he's supposedly, you know, all the girls are into him. Like he's the best looking guy on the show and he's like totally into.

All the scare skin care, how great you look.

But you know, like what it is, it's just taking care of yourself. It's all basic stuff. I mean, what, what we sell, what these brands are all about, are just basic good skin care. It's not complicated. It's easy to use.

Right.

I just found out what microdermabrasion was like, honestly, two years ago.

Yeah, that's fine. You wouldn't. You're a dude, though. I mean, not that dudes don't microdermabras, but.

I know, but I just heard about it and understood what it was.

I mean, you actually have nice skin.

Thank you.

You do have nice skin for all that.

Our shave job would be great for around this area, but you have nice skin.

Yeah, I didn't really have any problems through my teenage years with skin, but.

No, you look nice.

I look out. But when I do have like a, you know, a zit, it is, it is very apparent.

You have products for that too, right?

Yeah, we do. We have products for almost everything that you could think of. And what we don't have, we're working on some other products that will help in other areas too.

Okay.

Yeah.

So let's talk a little bit about grooming. What are the trends that you've seen growing over the last 10 years, since 12 years, since you've been doing your product?

Well, like early on it was really important just to get guys to even.

Try a. I know, try, right?

Try it. So we would sample a lot. We'd sample in all the stores. We did a lot of events. We still do tons of events in the stores. I personally go out and do events in the stores, talk to customers, do personal appearances, skin care events. That's really a grassroots way to get the word out. And I think it's really important to do because it lets people know that you care about what you're doing. But since then, the market has grown from guys just using a premium shave cream or a premium facial wash, to eye creams, to ingrown hair treatments, to all kinds of anti aging products. And the market today really is going towards the anti aging category. More and more people want to look younger, feel better about themselves, even as Young as late 20s, early 30s.

Yeah, people are really trying to get away from plastic surgery and Botox and they're trying To, Yeah, go with, you know, creams and stuff like that. So I rather. I rather people go. People are gonna hate me because I'm friends with some plastic surgeons, but I rather go that route first than before. Trying to, you know, and there's a lot of.

Yeah, you should go that route. That's an innocent product. And watch his face change over time.

No, I mean, I wear. I wear these, like fake glasses just for my eyes. Because for the past 10 years, I.

Get up at 4am they're fake glasses.

We've gone over this before. Come on.

I forgot.

Really?

You don't need glasses and you wear them every day.

I don't because I have huge bags under my eyes.

Anthony, we make probably half a dozen products that can cure that. Literally. Put it on.

Can we send some to him?

I haven't found anything yet that could.

We have a product called the Rescue gel treatment. We call it the morning after product.

He needs that.

Honestly, every day I wake up that early.

It's a gel type lotion. It's made with caffeine, green tea and menthol. You apply it to your face just like a moisturizer. It's for guys that stay out late, that party too hard, that drink late, that just wake up early. And it circulates the blood flow so it really makes your skin come alive. You look healthy, you look just refreshed and it kind of wakes you up a little bit. And that's one of many products we have great under eye creams. But these products, they're so simple to use. It literally takes 15 seconds, you apply it and then you're done for the day. Yeah, that's the big thing, is that most guys feel that this stuff is so complicated when really it's so easy.

It's so, so easy. And they're just not used to using products.

And guys might be listening to this, thinking we're like doing an infomercial. And like, it's. No, it's about taking care of yourself because it brings in. It brings women to you. Like a magnet.

Exactly.

Like if you take care of yourself, women are going to talk to you. And even more.

Right.

Something else about using these kinds of products. One great thing is that you. Not only. Not just our products, just any premium products out there, is that they don't only make you look good and feel good, but mentally it does a lot for you too.

It does make you confident.

Because when you feel good about yourself, talking about the guys and having issues and problems with the pretty girls and all that when you feel good about who you are because you feel you smell good, you look good, and you're well groomed, that can add a whole lot of confidence to a guy and to women. So we like to say that these types of products, not just our brand, but just brands in general, help men and women look and feel better about themselves.

Right, because you spent the money, you went out, you got it, you're doing it, you have a routine.

Exactly.

Yeah. I mean, a perfect example is when you had your book signing here just recently. I didn't have a chance to change my clothes, do my hair or anything. And I had no confidence to talk to anybody. I didn't want to stay there.

I'm like, hi. You're like, don't introduce me to anyone.

I didn't want to talk to anyone.

Why did you even come? Do you wanted to show up?

Because I wanted to make sure I show up. Yeah.

You didn't want to talk to me?

I didn't want to talk to you. I was there like five minutes because I, you know me, I'm usually a confident person, but at that time, I'm just like, I wasn't. I wasn't feeling confident because I was.

Like, I don't feel like you were. Yeah, if you had his products, you.

Might feel better if I, you know.

But let's talk about what about, like, okay, grooming and manscaping. Like, that's a word that came, I guess, when I started my six, seven years ago, people started using landscaping, which is like, you know, men shaving, you know, or waxing or doing anything to their backs or their balls or their whole body. Right. So don't you think that's changed in the last, like, no one talked about that really, before 10 years ago? No, I mean, now men are trimming. Like, that didn't exist.

Definitely not. It is now.

Exactly.

And so doing those kinds of things, it's really important to. To prep the skin before you wax or before you shave. Those kinds of areas. You can wax any part of your body, but if it's not clean, if the surface isn't clean or cleanse with the proper cleanser. If you don't moisturize after with the proper moisturizer, you'll get razor burn, you'll get burning after you wax, you'll get ingrown hairs on your back body.

See, that's where I got screwed when I made body.

That's where you got screwed when I made him get waxed, I didn't prep his skin. I didn't do it. But our waxing person did not prep your skin and you should do it again now with his products and then it'll feel better this time.

We have a saying at our company. You would never wax your car without washing it first. And that applies when you do shaving.

When you do waxing. Oh, nice.

Think about it this way. Think like your hairs on your body, your back, your face, wherever filled with dirt and filled with oil. If you don't wash away all that dirt, all that oil that gets trapped inside when you try and remove it, it's going to be a tough job to do.

So what's the suggestions then for like, do you, what kind of questions do you get asked by men? Like, what do they need, like a shy trim? Like they don't know. I feel like there's a lot of men who are kind of confused by like, what's the norm? And I know you should just do what makes you feel good. And like, I think some women care, some women don't care what guys do. But what, what kind of questions do you get asked or how do you.

Well, I think that, you know, it's really subjective, but I think what people, what they really care about most is looking good, just looking clean. So whether it's waxing or trimming or shaving, they just want to look clean and they want to look like they've been taking care of themselves. So they ask, well, what products should we use? A lot of them go to waxing places. And I say, well, that's great, but make sure that you're using the right products before and the right products after. So we always suggest to prep the skin before you do the waxing and then also use the right kind of moisturizers or right soothing products after.

Those really work.

We have a great product called the Cool Fix, which is geared towards women. Men also use it. It's great for ingrown hairs. After waxing or shaving your bikini area under your arms and your legs. And what happens is when you wax and your hairs tend to be curly or coarse, they curl back in and they grow inside, back inside your body, they become infected and that's where you get all the bumps. So a product like the Cool Fix has three different acids in it and they help to loosen the hairs so they pop back out. So next time you shave or wax, they come right off.

That is brilliant. You don't know. We have to go through women with the shaving and the bumps and the hurting.

Now, have you made a manual that you put Inside these products, how to talk to your partner about having to use them.

I'm going to write that for you. What do you mean? Like, say, like, honey, you really need to wax your back.

But maybe we could do a pamphlet.

Women are way more harsh. And, like, a man can take it about, you know, oh, you, honey, you need to wax her back and all that kind of stuff. Or wax your. Your junk. But when you tell a woman that, you got to be a little more sensitive.

Yeah, definitely. But I think, guys. Yeah, you got to be sensitive.

But do you think, how do I approach it?

What's your issue with me?

What's your issue? I'm like, you want me to shave?

I can't say, honey, you got a hairy ass bush, right? I can't say that.

No, you can't say that.

It looks like a wolverine.

You could say, let's go shave you together. You could be like, let's shave it together. And then you could like, I don't want to.

I'm afraid I'll do something.

Or I can tell you what you could do. What a lot of our customers do.

Yeah.

You know, in situations like that, they come in and they buy the products and they bring them home and they're like, honey, look what I got. These products, they're so great. They do all this great stuff. You're kind of like giving a hint subliminally, so they. They get the message. But you're not outwardly saying it. And you want to make them feel a little bit guilty for spending the money and buying these products. So naturally they're going to try and use it. After they use the products and they see the actual results, then they start to feel good about, wow, this looks better down there. I feel better about myself. Where can I get this stuff? So if you just kind of surprise your partner or whoever you're trying to surprise with these products, most of the time, that's the best way to do it.

That's a good point.

It's sort of under the radar. Just as a gift gifted to, here's a gift.

But that's still like saying you gotta shave your bush because.

Right. But you know what?

Women overanalyze everything. Why is he giving this to me? Blah, blah. But no, still.

Have you been with a woman where you're like, this would have been perfect, but her bush was too Harry.

Sometimes. Yeah, yeah, I've had that happen.

And you're like, gotta go. Is that what you do?

Yeah. I don't know if you heard about this, but there's been, like, kind of a backlash. Backlash. Not with guys, but with women or. I don't know, they're in their early 30s, and they're like, forget that I'm not gonna shave no more, and blah, blah. I mean, it doesn't really last that long, but they give this idea that they want to do that. Have you heard anything about that or. No?

Yeah, yes, sure, sure. But I mean, I just believe in just being direct. I mean, yeah, if you're with someone and if they care about you and if you care about them, there's ways of saying it in a nice way.

I think that if you're with someone that cares about you, they want to please you. They want to do right, you know, what's right for the relationship or right for the experience. So I think being direct in just a soft, gentle way.

That'S at least my. My approach.

I kind of do it in, like, a joking way, too, where they don't think I'm really serious, but they do know you're serious.

What do you say?

Yeah, but I just like, wow.

How do I approach it?

Oh, oh, it's been a long time. We see blah, blah or something like that.

Right, Right, right, right. You're like, oh, really? You haven't.

Or maybe you can do it together. Honey, why don't we wax together tonight? It'd be nice. Have a glass of wine.

I'm afraid I would mess that up.

But it was funny because when this bikini waxer was on the show six years ago, her name is Marilyn Yeager. She's in San Francisco. I was like, why do women even need a shave? She goes, honey, if you want to sell the house, you got to mow the lawn.

So that's why women are supposed to. Why are men supposed to trim now? Why did that come about? Men weren't trimming before because men.

Men get really nasty.

I know, but they don't. They never did anything about it. So why did that change?

Porn, probably porn. But I also think, generally speaking, more and more men are taking good care of themselves all over their body, not just their face, not just shaving, but really all over. I mean, we see guys, you know, they come in with acne on their back. We see guys with. With all kinds of skin conditions, rosacea, all kinds of problems all over the body. So men are concerned about everything, not just the shaving issues.

Okay, that's good to know that men.

And they're more comfortable today. I mean, again, talking about an eye cream eight years ago was kind of taboo.

Right. They're like, oh, I don't need eye cream. They get that they could use it and that it would work for them.

So a decade later, talking about shaving your balls or waxing your balls is not such a big deal anymore.

What do you think about shaving versus waxing your ball? People menace. Wax it. But what do you think? What do you recommend?

Well, either or. I mean, as long as it's done properly, I think it can.

Again, using the products before.

Well, using the right products. And also it's the right technique. Also because we've seen people wax or shave areas that it looks great on some and not great on others. It's really. Can you wax properly or can you shave properly?

I like to put designs in mine.

Do you do that?

No, I don't.

I don't even care.

Can I be honest?

I'm the chick who doesn't care that much. I really don't. I'm not, like, uptight about it with guys. Really? Nope.

You're crazy.

Yeah, I'm not. I'm not. I'm like, whatever.

You know how long guys hair can.

Get down there with some men in.

My time, they can have dreads.

Yep.

Yeah. You've probably seen that. I don't know if they show you. They ever take down their pants and go, look what I do at this situation?

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I was in a Sephora store in Seattle maybe three or four years ago, and a guy walked out to me. He was a male stripper. And so I'm sitting in the store and he was asking me all kinds of questions, and he's like, hey, Anthony, can I show you something? And I'm like, yeah, sure. What? And we go in the corner by the men's products, and he pulls his pants up and he's like, what can I do? Because I wax my balls. What do you suggest? So I was looking at him and of course I'm there doing an event, so I have to be professional. I'm like, well, first of all, you should definitely be cleansing that area.

First.

We have a great body cleansing gel that's moisturizing. And then try something that. Try a moisturizer that has some soothing qualities that has aloe vera, chamomile maybe.

Right.

So use that. So it's. It's common, you know, people want to do.

They're just like, here's my balls, here's my balls.

You know? This is what you do. Yeah, it's like. It's like a doctor, you know, or.

It'S like you'll come out to me and saying that, you know, their wife wants to use a vibrator, their girlfriend use vibrator, and. Yeah, what do they do? Yeah, I totally get it.

They're real life problems and they happen to all of us.

They are real life problems.

Now wait, you're based out of New York?

Yes.

Okay, so how long are you here in the Bay Area? Right now?

I'm here till Wednesday.

Do you see different attitudes between New York and San Francisco when it comes to.

What do you think?

I think generally on the west coast it's a bit more laid back.

Yeah.

People are shy too. They're not more. They're not as direct. I think in New York. I'm not gonna put words in your mouth, but.

No, but I think that people are generally just a bit more laid back depending on where you go on the West Coast. But in San Francisco, San Francisco, the men tend to be a bit more grooming conscious than other parts of the country. New York especially. I think that it's a great market for men's products. When you get up north, Oregon and Washington, those types of areas, the men that icing tend to be a little bit more laid back and not so into using seven, eight or ten different products, but maybe two or three.

They could do any of that. Right? They can just get a range of all of it.

I mean, we have about 100 different products throughout all the different brands. So there's a lot of choices that they can choose from. We also sell supplements now too, for men.

Oh, really?

We have a new line called Anthony Inside. And there's six different supplements geared towards male specific conditions. One of them, which is called Libido. And the great thing about this product is it not only helps the actual physical part of sex, but helps. It's kind of a mood stabilizer.

Oh, wow.

Yeah. So it's kind of a two in one. So it actually helps put you in a good mood menace.

You should take it.

Yeah.

All right.

Mood stabilizer. Do you think.

What? Do you think I'm in a bad mood all the time.

Kinda kind of grumpy. Do you think that, like, grooming is ever a deal breaker? Like, have you been with someone? I'm trying to think. I have. But you've been with someone who you're like, game over. Like, even if, like she saw her grooming or she like hair under arms. Hair. Were you like, I don't want to be with her.

Yeah.

You left the room.

Well, we had a. We had our guest. I forget our Name. She was here just recently that did.

The book with you, Jamie Waxman. She's growing her armpit hair.

She's growing her armpit hair. And I told her a story about how there was this. I had a sculpting class, and there was this girl that was super hot, and we had to go down into the basement where there was no air conditioning. And she took off her sweater, and she was wearing a tank top, and she was wearing shorts, and she had, like, hairy legs, hairy armpits. And after that, I was done.

You were, like, done and done. So it was a deal breaker. Yeah. I don't know. That hasn't happened to me. But I know a lot of women who are like, he is what, he has to wax back or he has to do something different. So.

Yeah, when you go to the beaches, it's pretty crazy.

We don't go to the beaches a lot around here, but you're right, it is.

I want to get back to one thing that I wanted to ask you. Since you travel a lot, do you. Is there any areas that you're surprised, like, you go to, let's say, Montana or Missouri, where you do really well?

We're from Michigan.

Yeah, but I mean, is there any parts of the country where, like, wow, we sell a lot of product in some area that I wouldn't expect, Like, I. Obviously, you probably do well in New York and San Francisco. But let's say. How about, you know, on the coast.

We do really well.

I'm trying to think an area that.

We do really well that would be surprising to anybody.

That would be surprising.

Not really. I mean, pretty much all the. All the places that sell these kinds of products.

So the guys that take care of themselves are on the coast in the middle. You don't want to hang out?

No places, like. Right. But like, places like Chicago, Dallas, Houston.

Right. Like the big cities, actually.

Las Vegas. Las Vegas, yeah. A lot of our customers. We have a lot of local customers, they're very into grooming, but you tend to see more people, more grooming, conscious guys, really, in the. In the major sort of, you know, trendy hip cities.

Right?

Yeah.

Like us.

Well, you have to, because it's a rap.

San Francisco, Louisiana.

It is. What about chest hair? I feel like. Have men always trimmed their chest hair? That just seems like lately more men are doing that. What do you think?

Well, I think lately in. In general, men tend to trim and wax everything, but it's uncomfortable.

It's like, itchier. Like, I don't mind chest hair. Either. I think that's fine.

I mean, I would never do it. To me.

You just like hairy guys.

No, it's not that I prefer hairy guys. I don't care.

In between you like guys. Just average guys. Not too hairy.

That's right. I don't want him to spend more time getting ready than I do.

We found your fetish. You're into.

No, I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm not.

I just don't mind two pictures of, like a gay or like.

No, I don't. I don't do that. No. But I don't really mind it. No, no, I don't. I don't mind it, though. I'm not like. I just. I don't want him to be like, oh, I'm sorry I'm late for dinner. I was shaving my chest, waxing my balls, my back. Like, I'm sorry I'm late. Like, I. I don't want that. I don't want that him to be spending too much time on the grooming over. Over what I'm doing.

Okay.

And that's the thing. If you use these kinds of products properly, it's not going to take, you know, an hour to get ready. It's really like, you know, five minutes, 10 minutes.

But I'm just talking. If they're, like, shaving before the date and they're trying to. They're prickly and stuff.

Yeah, I.

Maybe they're swimmers. Who knows?

Yeah, you have to, like, really bikers.

Swimmers and shave their legs.

You have to really main. Yeah. Once you start, though, you have to maintain.

Right, right.

You can't take breaks.

You have to. I mean, if you don't take care of yourself, it'll just, you know, it's like working out.

It is like working out if you.

Start getting in shape.

Oh, believe me, when I take breaks, I take breaks.

And the thing is, it's that much harder to get back into it.

Right.

Because once you start letting your. You stop shaving properly, you start develop ingrown hairs and razor bumps, you get acne on your back, all those sorts of things. Then you have to really start from ground zero and start to get back to where you were. And that's a pain in the ass.

It is a pain in the ass. You got to keep it going. It's like women with their bikini lines, like, what? And then also you talk about why doing it. Like, for women, there's a lot of benefits. Like if you do wax all the hair off or you, however you get it, off, you wax, you shave, you use laser, laser hair removal or whatever. It's that it can make your orgasm. I mean, it can, it's more sensitive. It makes, that can make sex better with no hair. Yeah. For men too. It makes your penises look bigger. That's what I've been told.

Yeah, it does.

That's why men trim, right? So their penises look bigger.

A lot of guys have, have actually said that, you know, because I've asked, you know, why do you trim? You know, are you in the industry? You know, the porn industry? No, it actually makes my penis look, look bigger.

Well, and that's everything that men, every man wants, right.

Gain an inch by shaving.

Yeah. So that's another reason why to do it. But I'm not uptight about it. But you might be with partners who are.

Okay, well, I think a lot of the, the taking care of yourself as a guy is whatever your partner wants.

Well, it should be what you want.

It should be what you want. But I see a lot of it being, you know, being fed to you from your partner.

Right. You know what's gonna happen though? If you take really good care of yourself, you'll have a much easier time getting a partner and finding someone because A, you'll feel naturally more self confident and B, you'll, you'll just smell better, you'll look better, you know, you'll just exude a well groomed guy. And everyone wants to be with someone that smells nice.

Yeah, that sense is huge.

That's clean. No matter how grungy. You know, a guy or a woman may look or come across, if they don't smell good, if they don't look like they're, you know, they've taken care of themselves, chances are no one's gonna want to be with them forever.

I dress like super grungy every day because I don't care. You know, I work at a radio station, but if I put on my Chanel Platinum cologne, like girls, I just love it.

It smells good. You smell good when you wear that.

Thank you.

Yeah, you're welcome.

D' arme.

Gendarme.

Gendarme.

Okay.

It's. It's my favorite cologne. It's really clean. It smells really.

All right, I'm gonna write that down.

Anthony knows if you have any questions for me. He's a friggin pro. He knows everything. Okay, I think that's all we got time for right now.

Okay.

Are we good?

Yeah, we're good.

Okay. Anthony.com and Anthony, thank you. Thank you so much.

You're gonna tell me the story off the air.

What? Off the air?

For the dot com? For the dot com.

Yeah, we want to have the dot com. And Anthony, just so you know, we know each other because we grew up together. We lived in the same house. We lived. We didn't grow up together, but we. I. My family bought his family's house when.

I was 10 years old. My family moved into a new house and Emily's family bought our house. So what's. What's really sort of funny or kind of crazy about this whole thing is that we literally grew up using the same swimming pool, the same bathroom, the same living room, one right after the next. And then we also went to the same camp together, which is even cooler.

Yep.

That's crazy.

I know. We hadn't seen each other in years.

Such a small world.

I know. And then we connected again.

How squeaky and loud was she back then?

Do you remember me?

I think I remember that you were on the quiet side.

Really?

I think so.

How do we go back in time?

But we weren't super close. I mean, I knew who she was, and she was sort of like, you know, the. The cute girl who, you know, whose parents bought my house. And other than that, that was about it. And I shipped off to boarding school.

Cool, right? That's right. That's a whole other story. Okay, everyone, thanks so much for listening to sex with Emily. Was it good for you? Email me feedbackexwithemily.com there's one overlooked mineral behind better sleep.
