Look into his eyes.

Cuz my man E here, he just got his heart broken.

He thinks you're kind of cute.

A girl's gotta have her standards.

Maybe 15 years ago, 20 years ago, I went in for two weeks. But since I started sex with Emily 13 years ago, there was no time to travel. I've been building a business. I've been working my ass off, and I decided this was the year to get out of town. And I am right now, I'm with Ben Morrison. Hi, Ben.

Hi.

We are recording from the most beautiful place in the world, probably the most romantic place. We're in Santorini. It's an island in the Greek islands, the Cyclades. The Cyclades. We've never been here.

Never. We never even.

We never even planned it.

I was like, we'd only been away for like a long weekend and then we're like, hey, let's go to Greece for two weeks.

Exactly.

So do you know anything about Greece?

We knew nothing about Greece. So anyway, so I.

You cook with it. I knew that.

Cooking with Grace. But anyway, so I've never. Let me just go back to this part that I've never taken a trip and I was like, you know what, my listeners are cool if I go away. I've got a lot of shows. We actually did a bunch of shows before I left. And this has been just really interesting. I always talk about how it's so important for couples to get away together. You know, people forget to travel. Even if you have kids, you're like, we can't leave. Or people tell me they have kids and the kids are 8 or 10 or even 3 years old, and they're like, yeah, we don't have sex. We don't connect. It's because you need to get out of your house. You need to see a different bedroom, a different bed, and just change up your location and connect again. And so. And there's also hotel room sex.

You can Get a lot. You can get much dirtier when you know someone's gonna wash them linens in the morning.

So anyway, Ben and I decided to go to Greece. I've always wanted to come here. I believe Ben has too. And since I'm not super busy up until the day we left and yeah, we booked a ticket a month ago, I was like, greek island sounds great. I want to go lay on a beach. I want to relax, I don't want to stress. And you know, it's been a long time since I've traveled internationally for pleasure. I've definitely like went to. Where'd I go? Germany for work a few years ago. But it's like this is like a trip, you gotta plan it. We did not plan.

We didn't plan.

And so that's also can be very taxing on a relationship when you don't plan things. Even at home. If you're like, where do you wanna go? Dinner? Why don't we plan anything? There's nowhere to eat. What movie are we gonna watch? That can be stressful. But when you land in a foreign country and you don't know where you're staying, how to get there. I don't know what I thought. I mean I really didn't have time to look at it.

You think, you think until I landed.

But I. Oh, Greek islands. It's easy. There's fairies, it's beautiful. There's water. And it's high season, no problem. But it can be more challenging. So we've learned a lot about each other. We're in Santorini. It's probably the most romantic place on earth. We just saw a proposal at sunset and we're staying in a cave.

In Santorini.

In Santorini.

Just so they know we're staying in like the most beautiful part of the most beautiful part. It's. I think the old city. It's at the Santorini is like kind of like a half moon. And then we're at the very tip and it's called Oia. And it's these. It's everything you think about when you think of Greek Santorini. Kind of beautiful whitewashed cave dwellings on a cliff overlooking the ocean.

And so we're record bananas. It's bananas. Beautiful. And we are staying in a. We found this cave. We have a two story cave to ourselves. And it's amazing because the view here at sunset, which it's actually sunset right now.

Yep.

And we have this view that people are actually coming from all over. There's like mobs, people behind us, like Taking pictures behind us. This is the view.

It's like the Today show for podcast recording right now.

What are those people doing? The good news is not good news. I love America, but there haven't been a ton of Americans. A lot of people speaking French, a lot of people from all over. We haven't met a lot of Americans.

Yeah, no, we haven't met a lot of Americans.

So that's the setup. I just want you to know I'm having some amazing white wine. Santorini is known for its white wine, so I had to get a bottle of that, and we just went on a catamaran boat thing today.

We lived that yacht life.

We lived a yacht life.

Nbd. But Em and I, we live the yacht life. We go away for a yacht. Santorini is so nice. It's so touristy.

So that's where we are. And you can check out these pictures. I think we've got a lot of Ben. Not only is he a comedian, he's also a photographer, and he takes amazing photos. So I've been very lucky because he's taken, like, how many photos have you taken? We won't post them all. He's editing them.

I mean, like, my gallery of the ones that, like, I love. Or it's like, it's 220 at this point. And just wait, Podcast listeners, you have some of the most. The hottest, most beautiful photos of your own. Emily Morris are gonna be hitting the airwaves soon because, like, I like doing travel photography. I love it, but I really love being able to shoot someone and have a subject when I travel. And Emily is incredible. She really knows how to get her picture taken.

I do.

Yeah. Like a mofo. Like, you think you don't, but I'm like, move. And then it's like, boo, blam. And then I'm like, move. And you're like, boo, blam. Every pose.

I took a model.

You know what you're doing? You know what you're doing. Oh, she's.

I'm not even.

I took a model to a cave.

In Santorini on Instagram. Let me tell you what's been amazing. A lot of things is that I've not been on my phone at all. I haven't checked Instagram. I haven't. I mean, I really have not checked email very much. Obviously, everyone in the office can get ahold of me. They can text, but just there's something about unplugging. And so the other reason why I took two weeks, though, just getting back to this for a moment, is because everyone was like, I've heard this over the years. Oh, you go away for two weeks. You have to, like. I'm thinking, yeah, right. I could ever do that. But they're like, you have to do it. Because the first. You need a week just to get into vacation mode. I'm like, that's ridiculous. And I have to say, it was a little challenging. I mean, I don't expect you guys, like, it's like the smallest violin in the world is playing for us right now. Cause it was stressful the first five days. So I was working up until we left. I suck at packing. I was up, literally did not sleep the night before. Cause I was like, oh, I should put things in a suitcase. And then we traveled overnight. And then. So that was two nights away.

Two flights from the west coast, when you come to anywhere, Europe, you fly to the east coast, jfk. And then you typically take an overnight flight and land in Europe like four days later. I have no idea how the time works. I know that we're flying into the future while it's becoming the past. You take off in July and you land in August. I have no idea. And it really.

It really taxes you. So we landed in Athens and we hadn't slept. So that was going on two days. And we're like, okay, where should we go?

Super duper new. New rolling suitcase was really okay.

So I went to Ross.

Life easy for me.

So the night before, I left at 12:30 at night. I was leaving at 6. You were coming to Mass at 6:30 in the morning.

I left you at like 11 and you hadn't started packing. And our flight was.

I bought a new suitcase at 12:30 in the morning at Ross.

I didn't know Ross was even open until 1am that must be depressing.

Who goes to Ross at 1am it was very depressing.

If you go to Ross already, shit ain't going too good.

So anyway, I had a big suitcase. It was. It was stress. Stress for less. It was stressful, though. So I was packing. I was up. And then we get.

Athens and we land and it's just hot. And I am. I have way too much stuff with me. Turns out I have nothing that I need and all the things I don't. And this suitcase is just shitty. So we get to Athens and we.

Land and it's the morning.

I guess it's like noon or something. And we're like, we want to go to. I figured that since I'm really jonesing. I really need a vacation, right? I want to have I mentioned that I wanted. I pictured me sitting on like the most beautiful beaches with blue water and just lying out and like lying there and reading and sleeping. And I was like, let's just go to Athens on the way back and let's leave Athens right now and go to one of the islands. And we knew that we wanted to go to Santorini and we'd both heard of Sifnos and Ben's parents went there. They've been together 41 years.

Yeah, they went to Greece actually kind of a similar trip to us.

They probably plan more though.

Oh yeah. Oh. Marianne Morrison leave the house unless itineraries are printed e ticketed. And we, we are not. We are not them. So part of the fun of this whole thing, when you don't plan, it can go one of two ways and it often goes both. In the course of a vacation. When you don't plan, the advantage is discovery. You meet someone, they say, oh my God, you have to see this one place and bam, before you know it, you're on a ferry going there. That's the best case scenario. Worst case scenario is that you're like, you land and you're like, we don't know where we're going to live. No one speaks English.

Exactly. And the other thing is everyone's like, people's like mouth, what's a souvlaki? When I told them a week ago, I was like, I was at my best friend's birthday in Stsim beach in San Francisco and everyone was like, you haven't planned yet. Like he was faces, they're like, it's high season, it's travel tourist season. And I always knew that I find a place because I used to when in my 20s, I went backpacking through Southeast Asia for nine months and I had a one way ticket to Bangkok. And I was a traveler. And I remember just kind of figuring out as I went along and I figured this. I knew that I wasn't worried about us finding places. It was just that I literally didn't know. I realized I'm a bit of a princess too. Like I want a nice place and I want to be quiet. I want to be to the beach. So anyway, we get there and princess.

What we're looking at like baller hotel rooms. And she's like, no, the linens are not up to my quality.

I want nice linens. I want to be able to sleep. So any people like what you didn't plan? So I actually wasn't worried about finding a place because if you look online at Stevens. There are still a few hotels left. So we end up taking. We decided to get a ferry. We get to this beautiful island, and we have to drag our suitcase up the hill. I end up throwing my back out with my suitcase filled with nothing that I need. And we get to this place called Sifno's House, which is in the port. And it's a beautiful hotel, lovely couple owns it. And we. It was like 10:30 at night.

They loved us, right? Until you told her that.

You told them.

You told her you went up to the host door. It was so sweet. And they were, like, fawning over us for, like, three days. And then on the. On the last day, she's like, hello, Emily. And you're like, we're going to an Airbnb.

Cause Ben told me to say that.

He goes, I didn't tell you to say that.

You said to me, why would I.

Tell her to tell.

I don't know why. Because it was.

You just came back and you were like, oh, my God, babe, I just told her I was going to Airbnb. I did it because you told me to.

You're like, just tell her that. And I was like, see, this is what I've learned a lot, is that Ben and I have learned who's like, what each person. So when you travel with a new partner, well, I thought, either I'm going to love him more or we're going to break up, is what I figured. It's gonna be one or the other. Because you learn a lot in the two weeks.

I thought it was gonna go, like, super in love on our final island, or you're on Caddos and I'm on Mykonos and no one can find me.

Exactly. Good riddance. Ben Hu. Send me the pictures.

Hey, I'm right here.

No, but I'm saying if that's what happened. But that didn't happen.

But it didn't happen.

Well, I'm not a planner for vacation. I also have very high standards, meaning we have very limited time. And I wanted to do the research about. See, now that we're there, I'm like, where's the beach? How do we get around? Like, I want to know the restaurants. The best restaurants, the best.

Emily's like, I refuse to stay in anything but the best. You're like, okay. Where? You're like, I can't deal with this right now.

Our hotel was beautiful, so we had a little bit of struggle, and a lot of it. I remember, like, it was. It's jet lag. It's struggling, but we kind of settled into it and then we ended up. It was beautiful. We ended up renting a car and.

Go to a Little Panda.

A little Panda.

Fiat Panda.

Little beaches.

I hadn't. It's a manual, as basically all cars are here. And Sifnos is just like, straight hairpin, like, ancient city, like, winding roads. And I hadn't driven Emmanuel in, I don't know, eight years. Like, I moved out to LA from New York. I drove out in a manual, but I haven't really touched one since. And then you get in the car and it's like, you kind of have to learn by doing. And in Greece, like, the streets are thin. There are no stoplights. I've not seen a single stoplight. There's no entire trip. And in Sifnos, there's no. There's no. There's no fucking addresses. Like, they're just on.

They don't have street. They don't have street numbers or addresses.

But that is how tiny and remote and Grecian. I mean, it's absolutely beautiful. And there are about. There are about eight small to medium beaches peppered all over the island. And literally from the top of the island to the bottom of the island is maybe a half an hour drive. Just beautiful, small, winding roads. So we got a car and we're just like, let's see this whole fucking island.

And I feel like we needed the jury in our heads that here we were in this beautiful place and the things we realized that we both. And I think a lot of us do this, but I would get in my head about things, like, stupid, like, I'm in literally the most. One of those beautiful places. We're driving around, I'm not working, people aren't calling me, things aren't happening. I'm, like, worried, and I'm very much, like, I like to be comfortable. And I was like, in my head going, that. So why do you do this? You've done this before? And, like, I kept getting pulled off about what I don't have and, like, worried about doing things wrong and did I mess up the trip? And do I even like this? And so.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I knew I liked you.

Back up one.

I like you, but you. But then I'd look at Ben and he's wearing.

See, think about. Emily and I were like, we're born on the same fucking day. Like, we're. We're June 2nd Geminis, man. And she. It's. It's a blessing and a curse in the sense that If I see her detach, it's like, it's like that I can see her, she's present and then she's not. But I can help her out of that because I'm the exact same way and kind of need similar coddling when I go from present to internal, which is literally just, it's like black and white. And I was the same way too. You know, Like, I think when you're, you're just in. So you're so far away from home, jet lagged, you don't really, you can't rely on the fact that you, you, you, you packed, you have everything you need necessarily like that, that brings you comfort in stressful situations is the stuff that you brought, you planned for. And I think that was a security blanket you didn't have.

I didn't have that security blanket. And then I also was like, why didn't you plan? Like, we're at this beach, like the first day, we asked the guy at the rental agency where, what beach to go to. And I didn't like that. I didn't like the, the remote beach. But it wasn't even, it looked like.

Well, the first beach we're at, it's the port. And it's where a lot of families go because the beach is really shallow for far out. So it's great for kids and Emily. And it's fucking beautiful. It's like, it's a gracious at that.

Beach, the northern beach.

Oh, the remote beach. Yeah, yeah.

And you're like, it's beautiful. I'm like, this is not.

We drove to the very tip of the island.

We took his angel. I'm going, we're at the wrong beach. This isn't the beach. I just want to lay out. Like I kept thinking, like I was at this beautiful beach. I kept thinking, this is the wrong place to be, which is my, that's my conditioning. Like sometimes even at home I'll be like, I'm doing laundry. But I should be like working or I'm working. And I'm like, I really should leave now. And I have this thing in my head that's like this unsettled voice and these voices. And I realize that a lot of us have these struggles. And then I've done so much work around being present. And I've done a lot of meditation, I've done a lot of therapy and self help work where, you know, if you take a look at those voices, you realize they're yours. You're programming it, you're programming that channel. And we Realized we actually had a name where it's like the. It's the. It's the jurors in our head, like the negative Bad News Network.

It's the bad news network.

It's a bad news network.

It's just in. Everything's wrong.

Everything's right. Exactly.

Details to come. Keep pondering.

And you could keep creating a story like, why am I here? Why? I only have two weeks. I'm gonna get back. I'm gonna be tired. I'm gonna regret. And like, literally, it doesn't stop. And then I finally jumped. Yeah, it's a bad. But you realize that that is being programmed by you. So if your internal voices in your head are the message you tell yourself are the negative thoughts is a station that you program, right? So it's called the bad news. And we're like, why can't be like, the good news network? Like, why can't I be, like, gna. Beautiful? And then what I did. You guys will appreciate this is. Then finally I jumped in the water. And I'm not at the. Not at the remote beach, because I still love that beach. But it was at the other. Some other beach the next day. I was like, the voices were going in my head. They were so loud. Because you understand, you guys, when you have these, it's. It's almost like a coping mechanism. Coping mechanism to take you out of the present moment. So I did what I tell you a lot of you guys to do, like, during sex, when you can't focus and you're, like, worried about your, you know, if you're gonna. If you're gonna ejaculate or if you're not giving orgasm or how you look naked. I thought, okay, you're in this most beautiful beach and you're thinking about. I don't remember what it was. It's either. It doesn't even matter, you guys. I thought, okay, go into your senses. And I looked at the sky, and I was like, oh, my God, this is the most beautiful sky, the most beautiful water. What do I feel? I feel this warm, delicious, Grecian beach water running over my body. I feel the sand underneath my feet. What do I hear? I hear the wind blowing. I hear the. The waves. I, I, I smelled like, ocean. O.C.

Water.

I smelled water.

It didn't matter. But what I'm saying is it didn't matter what the details were. Is it by. By tracing my senses, what I felt, touch, what I hear when you taste, I immediately was like, ah. And I was able to breathe. I felt all this tension, because I think also the fact that I had this notion and this belief in my head that I should be on vacation and day one, I should just be relaxed and totally different than the Emily sex with Emily, who runs a business and has a. In San Francisco. In San Francisco. I don't live there. In Los Angeles and settle into it is also not true. So it's believing in my head, this expectation. So I just let it go. And I was like, ah. And I heard the birds chirping, and then I swam over to you, and you picked me up and you put your arms around me, and it was like it all fell away. But that was like, day four.

Yeah. It took a little while to get.

It took a while.

I was dealing with my own stuff, too, so.

What were you dealing with, Ben?

Just how the hell we wound up here, and the fact that we hadn't done any planning, and I was worried that that would too negatively affect you. So I was worried on behalf of you, for you, and just dealing with my own internal stuff, you know, I think you can. Wherever you go, there you are. Right? That's the phrase, you know, so my life in Los Angeles, like, it's still there. It doesn't end once you go away. And I think you bring those things with you. And, you know, I was dealing with coping with them in the ways that I do.

I always say that wherever you go, there you are is one of my favorite phrases. It's true, because you bring it everywhere. And it's funny because the branding, if you will, for the island from Steve knows is you are here. So we learned a lot. So I feel like we've kind of taken on different roles, too, in the sense of, like, I book the places, I make the plan for the day.

Yeah. What we've essentially figured out is that Emily decides basically where we're gonna stay and what we're gonna do. Right. And then I keep her from losing her shit while we rock out all of those things. And then what I've learned about you and I is that we might put up a lot of. A lot of BS on the way to an adventure and, like, try to convince us that we don't want to do it because of stupid reasons. But the second we get there, dude, it's like Robotron. We just nail it. So we got in the hike, I had my adventure pack, and the old backpack, I have that. She thinks I need to get a newer version. Yeah, it's old. I've had adventures in the backpack. It's My adventure pack.

I got it. We have a lot of. We've kind of talked about a lot of your things and updating your things.

Emily is.

Ben's a grown man and he's got. And I love this about Ben. He really doesn't give a shit. Like, he has clothes and backpacks. He's not in school. I give him a fuck what people think.

And I just have stuff that is sentimental. It's very comfortable to me.

Has stains on it. It's ripped.

The stains have. The stains are stories. I remember that stain.

Yeah, but like, that doesn't mean you have to wear them. You have to wear them out. So it's been interesting.

You guys. What if you maybe just ask me about my stain? Like, hey, fella, that stain looks worldly. I'm like, well, as a matter of fact, I was an am.

There's like six layered of stains on your things. Armpits.

Anyway, okay, so the point is, we've been subtly rolling newer Santorini approved clothing into my wardrobe as the stuff that I brought gets.

Well, it's gray. So Ben doesn't separate laundry. He does the whites and then it's black. The whites.

I wanna ask your listeners and just your male listeners here, just comment, comment and let me know legit. Do you separate colors and whites? Cause I will fully eat that. Maybe I'm the only one who just doesn't care. And I'm just like, it's clothes. Let's wash them. And I just throw them in, you know, and if there's like a bright.

Light shirt, everything is gray that you own. It's not gray. Everything's gray.

It's not gray.

Okay. Or just, I thought everything was dirty, but now I found out that everything's just gray because you wash them all together.

I keep my clothes very clean.

No, they're okay. They're gray, though. So I'm like, why does everything have like a gray hue? It's like a layer. It's just so. Yeah.

Long story short, every single piece of clothing I'm wearing right now is new.

Because it looks great on you, not because of me. Okay. And you said to me, and you loved it. You've been wearing it.

I like it.

She's helped me take it up a notch in the man department.

Becoming a man. And like thinking about, like thinking about. Because I think you like nice things too, but you don't think about it. So it's interesting. Also giving feedback or criticism, if you will, when you're dating someone. And I've never really been this person. Not in years where it's like, oh, I could see ways I could help Ben. Like, you would like to have a new backpack. I think that isn't, like, falling apart. It's falling apart. Okay, fine. There's tears in it.

There's a little rip in one of the side pockets.

Or like, you love your. The point is, Sifnos is beautiful. Santorini's beautiful. Also, there have been wonderful things about our relationship. And I think we've this vacation sex thing. You guys. I know I'm always preaching to you guys that you need to get away. Whether it's for a night or a week with your partner, just the two of you without the kids. Because you get. You change up your environment. You're not staring at the same ceiling in your bedroom with the laundry and the to do list. And it's just not the same. Right. And so leaving. Being on hood vacation. And let me first say that I did pack a lot of sex toys. I didn't forget any toys.

She packed two cock rings. I was like. Were you expecting a knife to get real crazy? Was that in your plan?

Three.

Three.

But I packed two pivots by mistake. Two Levi pivots. Like, just in case. I don't know how I did that. So my packing kit was two pivots. The crave.

What's that little tooth one you love?

Oh, the Jimmy Jane form, too.

You love that one?

I love that one.

It's like a molar for your clit.

I love the we vibe touch, too. But I didn't bring the touch. Cause I couldn't find it in my frigging house. I brought the tango. I brought two pivots. I brought the. What's the one that goes around your balls? Jesus. Hold on a minute. I can't remember.

Keep in mind, keep in mind, she brought two cock rings, a tango, a pivot, a Schlemm, and a Wing Wang. And forgot all of her sundresses. I just want your lizard listeners to understand that's where Emily's mind is at. The most extensive thing she packed were sex toys. Vulva pads.

I bought two vivits. I bought the Verge, which is also a vibrating ring that you can wear around your balls. God damn it. I brought two pivots. I could have brought another toy, but. And then I brought this.

The one you wear on your balls. By the way, it is not a big opening for your balls. I don't know how you're supposed to get balls into the ball.

No, because you have to be.

You probably gotta put it in one.

Ball at a time, which is hard to find you flaccid when I'm around, which is sweet.

Especially Santorini.

We've also had a lot of. We've had sex a lot. Two days. Two times a day.

A couple times a day.

Yeah. We've great, beautiful hotel rooms. We also invented a new sex position.

We're trying to think of a name for it.

Yeah. So let's talk about the new position, which is, like. I thought it was. It was. For me, it was a really great new find, if you will.

Yeah. I mean, I think it solves a lot of problems, right? In the sense that when I am performing the act of oral lovemaking on a woman, you know, I take it very seriously. Like, do you want rose petals on your stomach, or should I. Should I pour warm milk over your chest? Like, you know, are the candles good?

You are.

Strained neck. Strained neck.

Because strained neck is a problem.

You have to give it time. Right. Because you can't. You can't expect results within 10 minutes with a lady. Because as I've said before on the show, the best sex you're ever gonna have is right after you bring your beloved to climax orally. Because what that is doing is. It's like, it's getting all the internals read to go.

Right?

You know, that's what's happening on the inside when you're doing your thing. And the. The biggest problem I've always had is strained neck. Really?

I didn't even know that.

Yeah, well, I think most men kind of. I think most men. Cause they don't really talk about it. You're like, ah, my neck hurts. You know, and she's like, keep licking. And the thing about strained neck is that it kind of puts a damper on me wanting to do it. And also.

You know, it's 20 minutes of focusing on one person. And I like a little stimulation during that process also.

Right. Which is why they invented 69, which I'm not a fan of.

But you're not a fan of 69.

So 69, as you guys know, is when, like, why don't you, like, 69?

Is it your butt's in the air?

No, dude, I don't give a shit about my butt. No, it's because I can't focus on two things at once. Either I'm giving or receiving. So, like, if you're like. Because if I'm giving you, if I'm.

Sucking.

If I'm sucking, if I'm giving you a blowjob, I don't want to be like, I will fucking give 110%. I can't focus on the. On the receiving as much.

I don't know if I buy that.

Okay. But that's true.

So he was like, invented a new.

We invented a new position for us, and it was sort of solved.

Guy lays on bed, head on pillow. Girl straddles head with knees around his head, around head. So the neck problem is just like, neck problem.

He's comfy, he's cozy on our. On our star hotel.

Nice linen for the lady flower, aren't you?

Good linens and good pillows.

Good.

So his head's getting supported, which is good. And then I can't come unless it's.

Like a thousand thread count.

You know how I feel. That was the other thing. So then I'm leaning. So what happened was. So I'm doing that I'm Perfect position. He's happy. His neck's happy. I'm so happy because then I can control how far down I'm going onto his mouth. And then I lean back and I could still stroke you. I put lube. I use some lube. And then I could still lean back and I could give you a killer hand job, like leaning back with my hand.

And that way, because of the position, my tongue can focus on the happy button while my chin can actually do some work of its own.

I thought you were using finger. It was your chin. It was very interesting. It was a whole nother range of motion.

It came on the hair of my chinny chin chin.

It was like, perfect because I could easily give a hand job whether I can give a blowjob during oral. And it was great. So we were trying to name it.

Yeah, we couldn't figure out to everyone.

Do we explain the name?

I like.

I like calling it the Handy Dandy, but it doesn't. It's too much about the handy.

Right.

The clitty.

Witty, witty. Just you guys, help us name it. Help us name this new position. So do you get it? Like, I'm just leaning back with my hand. So crunch. I'm facing him and my hands going back and giving him a killer hand job, like as I often do. And you were happy.

The lick and flick.

The lick and click. The lick and click. Yeah, but I like the whole the licker flicker.

No, I still like Handy Dandy, but maybe we could just. I mean, we can do whatever we want.

What do you mean?

I mean, if we call it the Handy Dandy. It's called the Handy Dandy.

Fine.

Are we Doing this.

I don't think we should commit to a name right now. We're not, like, gonna try and work it.

The Handy Dandy worked dandy. Some ancient, powerful magic on you.

Yeah, it's great.

And the thing about the. We're staying in a cave. Like, the rooms in Oia, like, it's all built on the cliffside and the rooms, they go pretty far back and. And they're a cave. I mean, a very bougie cave, mind you. Like, there's two bathrooms. It's fucking amazing.

Showers.

We have two stories in the cave. I don't know, man. It just does something to my. Primal and sexual.

Yeah, we were living like cave people in the cave.

And the echo in there, too, is like.

And you. Oh, man.

Yeah.

Why are you waving?

I don't want to talk about my orgasm.

These tourists, we have an audience. Give them what they want. It's Santorin. Anyway, today's show podcast, the cave echoed with the howls of Handy Dandy. Give it a shot, guys.

It's like a proverb, an ancient proverb.

What?

I don't know.

He who kind of. Cave. A lingus Cave.

A lingus Cave. Something else we thought of. Cave wave. What did you say? The cave Rave Wave. Oh, no. The wave. I don't know. So I actually finally feel relaxed. We have four days left and I kind of want to stay longer. Dude, we're going to. Don't you. You can go. I. I know. Okay. That's another thing I've had to learn is that here's what another lesson for me is that I know I've helped a lot of you with your relationships and your love lives and dating and sex. And I'm going to admit something to you here, that I have not prioritized my own relationships, meaning I haven't really been in a relationship in a while. That I really. And with work being so busy all the time, I really. Or that was my excuse, I guess. For the last 13 years, I was like. If someone. I was dating somebody and they were like, you. You work too much or give me more time. I was like, I can't give my all to this relationship because I have a business and I'm trying to make a living and I have to support myself, pay my rent. So if you got in my way of it, if one a lover, I. Even though I knew all the right things to do, I. My heart wasn't in it, my head wasn't in it. And so being with Ben the last nine months, I'm like, I don't know. It's timing. It's who Ben is. I'm just, like, ready to kind of employ all the things.

And she's having moments of discovery that everyone else who's had relationships had, like, years ago. She's like, oh, my God, this is so cool when you are a team. Well, like, Ben, it's so cool.

Cause I'd be like, ben, well, I'm gonna go to the beach if you don't want to. Or I'm gonna. I'm leaving. Or like, I'm going. Cause I'm such an independent. Like, I don't need you. Not, like, in a mean way. Just like. And also, I don't want you to hold me back. So if you don't want to do what I want to do, I'm gonna do it. That's not great to.

Yeah, but that's. I'm. I. But you say that like expecting me to be like, no, we have to. I'm like, yeah, dude, go stroll. I'm gonna read my fantasy novel and look at photos. Get out of here.

Yeah, he's been curating photos a lot.

Oh, my God, so many photos.

So, yeah, I guess it's just been. It's been magical. Look at where we are. It's just romantic. I get it. Some person just proposed over there. It is really all couples. It's beautiful.

So the first night we get to Santorini, and I don't think either of us really quite understood what this place was. Sifnos is absolutely beautiful, and it's the smallest little island ever. But Santorini is. I mean, even geologically speaking, is unlike anything I've ever been. I've ever seen before. Ever. Ever. And we arrove. Tired, just not knowing what to expect.

A rove.

We arrived. It's a rove, right?

Is a rove a word?

And we. We get onto our balcony and the blood red eclipse is lighting up the entire bay. I mean, you know, I don't think a lot of people in States. In the States could see it, but in. In Europe, there was. What did they say? The longest. Like the actual longest eclipse in a century. That longest eclipse.

Exactly.

And it was a blood. It was a blood moon.

It was a blood moon. So it was red and it was. It was a new. We were eating a new day. Mars.

Mars is super close to the earth right now. So it was like this blood red moon lighting up the whole bay. And then Mars, like, shining so bright right next to us, which you said kind of looks like. Like, it looks like A zit.

It did kind of like pop that.

You're like, doc, what is this?

And you had a moment. I think you had tears. Well, I have a picture of you.

Yeah, I've been going through my own rather deep emotional process. I mean, this trip has been. Yeah, I just. I've. I've been drinking too much. And I use that to deal with anxiety, which I've had my entire life. And it's time to end that whole process. And I had decided that that needed to happen a couple days before and was processing that. And then we get here in this blood red moon like this, once in a century eclipse is happening over the bay. And you know, think about vacation is once you realize that you can go to the other side of the earth, to the most beautiful place you've ever seen, and your problems will be right there, tucked inside the city.

I know I packed a lot, but I did not pack my issues. I left my issues in California. What? But they showed up, right? You think that.

Oh, I've been hearing about your packing issues. But honestly, in the first four days, though, I mean, I think you really have to acquiesce to the fact that your demons come with you. And you can either continue to allow them to feed on your gray matter, or you can figure out a process to negotiate with them to just shut the fuck up and allow you to overlook this volcanic crater. Because you're never gonna be able to see that. You never. You know, you're not gonna be here.

I'm telling you that. My acupuncturist. Your acupuncturist said to me, christian, before I left, he goes, oh, my God, there's three eclipses coming up. Like, in the next week. You're gonna see. It'll be amazing. So I was like, oh, there's the eclipse. And he said, it's a great time. It's a great time for shedding things, for new beginnings. Cause you're literally eclipsing your old issues. You bring in, you know, what you want next. And so I think that was a moment for you where you were like. I was like. I said to you, I said, ben, it's eclipse. It's a time for newness. Like, you can just eclipse all that. You don't have to carry all that with you, all that weight. And I think letting go of realizing that drinking doesn't serve you.

Mm. Is that your friend never really has.

Never has. And so I. And I've learned a lot of people.

Just so people understand, like, I have, like, really crushing anxiety. But I'm really, I'm quiet, you know, I don't, I don't really talk much about what's going on inside me because I've always just, I've always been of the mindset that you can deal with your own internal problems. You don't have to really burden anyone else with it. Like, why ruin their day? You know what I'm saying? And that doesn't work.

After a while, numbing yourself with anything doesn't really work.

And I think, you know, people pick their poison in many different arenas to how they shut that voice up in their head.

I work a lot, right?

Yeah.

You'Re my little hummingbird. Like, you never stop moving, like, ever, even when you need to, you know, and then you'll go through periods of intense exhaustion related stress, but still refuse to change your patterns because you're just, you know, you built this thing and, you know, it's been you.

I'm really proud of you. I support you. You're amazing.

I support you.

But we're really having fun.

This has been the Grecian trip through our very souls trails.

The heart of darkness and the most beautiful place on earth. But we came out of it, man.

Came out of it.

Holy shit.

Yeah, we did this. We got this.

Yeah, we do got this. And I do got to give a shout out to my boy Manos at the Dream.

At the Dream.

If anyone is considering coming to Santorini, you absolutely must stay in oia. And might we recommend the place we're staying? There are three little villas, like cave villas, Jacuzzis, outdoor private deck overlooking the bay. And they have a couple employees that are. There's no real front desk, you know, and we've had an amazing amount of help from our boy Manos, who's arranged the catamaran tour. He's been awesome. He's been very helpful and he washed my dirty laundry.

He did wash your dirty laundry. Okay, so I think we could get into some emails if you'd like to help the people.

I think it's time.

Okay, we're gonna take, we're gonna take a quick break, give a shout out to our sponsors. Shout out to all of you. Thank you so much for supporting the show all this time and, and for emailing you with your questions and calling in and just being amazing listeners and supporters. We'll be right back.

On to emails. I love answering your questions. It's why I exist on the planet. If you want a question answered on the show, you can text ask Emily. All one word to 797979. You fill out the short form that pops up or you can go to my website, sex family.com, click the Ask Emily tab and please include your name, your age, where you live and how you listen to the show. This is from Ali, 32 in Sacramento. I must have my vibrator during sex. So I packed a few options for my honeymoon layover in China, they took my rechargeable from my checked luggage. Singapore, they took my rechargeable from my carry on. The only one that survived was a super underpowered mini battery powered bullet. My worst nightmare, I was orgasmless on my honeymoon. Can you recommend sex toys that are good for travel? No lithium batteries, but are also super powerful. Where have you traveled with your toys and what have you experienced? What have you been your experience been with international regulations? Thanks. Wow. They. I packed all my stuff in the well, but I didn't have lithium batteries. But wait, is that what you have in the return and the rechargeable ones? Right.

Okay.

So I didn't have that experience. I can't believe. But, but Singapore, they only allow you to chew gum. I can imagine they don't allow you to bring toys in or in China. I'm in like, like Greece, which is like the birthplace of love.

My advice is if you're just getting your toys snatched, just go to the local pharmacy and get yourself one of those vibrating toothbrushes.

No, I mean you could do that. That's true. Since the beginning of time people have used toothbrushes. Go to good vibes, I would say. Yeah. Women. No, a lot of notes.

We did actually see some cave drawings in the cliff of ancient centenians using toothbrushes for electric population.

But it is true that a lot of people have their first orgasms through. Well through the water, through the jets and the either in like a hot tub. Like you had amazing jets here.

What was your first?

Or. Or in the shower or riding a bike or something. Or like eight. They're like oh my God. My first orgasm was.

It was with a penis but it wasn't until I was like 23. Oh no. Okay. My first one was through masturbation but that wasn't until I was 20. But my first one with a lover, I was like 23, 24.

You use the old vibrating toothbrush, huh?

No, I never use a toothbrush because I've always had vibrators.

So you don't actually. Don't use the bristles by the way, just the base.

First of all, go to goodvibes.com and they have a bunch of vibrators and I believe they have a section on there for travel vibes that are good that you can take when you travel. And I would also say that I love the Vibratex Pocket Rocket. The Vibratex Pocket Rocket was my very first vibrator I ever had. It is really reasonably priced. It's like 15, 20 bucks. And you use batteries with it. And I know you're like battery vibes because they don't have many of those. But I would say use two. It uses like one or two double A's as far I get what you're saying with lithium battery. So that means a lot of these rechargeables won't work. I'm wondering how carefully you had it packed. So I think if it was like on the top of your suitcase, they might take it out, but maybe if you wrapped it in something. So I used to wrap things in presents like as a present or at a box with a rivet around it. And people can't tell what it is if they're going to like China because it actually says in Singapore, the law states that sex toys aren't legal in Singapore because the law states anything obscene you can't own, you can't take through travel or customs. So I would say that you might have to. If you are traveling to China, you're Singapore, Southeast Asia, that maybe just bring some of these battery operated strong ones or. I'm not sure which toys you brought with you, but all I know is that so many of my toys do not look like sex toys.

What I do is I put them in my toiletry kit. Like I've got my vibrating. I actually have my vibrating toothbrush with me. I have my electric toothbrush and I have like my makeup jars. And literally like if you look at the we vibe like the tango. Okay, you guys, it is this the most powerful little bullet. And it looks like it's pink and it looks like it could be holding. It looks like it's a lipstick or what I would tell you. Actually, speaking of lipsticks, I would bring the womanizer, which looks like lipstick. I mean there's so many different ones out. The Crave one that I brought. Ah, what's the name of the crave one I bought? It's not the Vesper, it's just this really cool. Oh, it's the Crave Bullet.

Or you could bring an actual lipstick and paint a target right on your clit so your man knows where he needs to go.

I don't get it? Oh, with the lipstick, I hope he already knows what time you're traveling. So that's my answer for. For what to bring. I actually should do a little short video of what I have in my travel toy kit. Even though I just explained it, I don't know why not? You got your camera.

So anyway, just check it out. And I'm sorry, really sorry that happened to you, Ali. And again, you guys, I would just get more creative about it and try to get the little vibrators that don't actually look like vibrators because. And most of them these days really don't unless you get like, the big insertion ones that look like a penis. Okay, here we go. This is from Erica, 29, Alabama. Dear Emily, my husband and I have been married for seven years and have a good sex life, but he wants to try anal again. We have done this before and I actually had an orgasm from it. We haven't done this in years. But he does play around my butt sometimes during foreplay. I am just scared it will hurt. I want him to be pleased. What's the difference for men between vaginal sex and anal? Great question. Okay, so first, let me say this about anal sex, is that I'm glad you're asking this question because I think that a lot of people, a lot of women I know have reported that the first time they have anal sex, it's just painful. Something happens, your partner does. They rush, you rush into it. You don't use lube, you don't warm up. Up. And that's why anal sex can be really, really painful. And. But the truth is there's just a few things you need to do to make sure that actually is pleasurable. And people don't tell you this. So what I would say is to try it again. Well, first, let me ask your one question, is that there is a difference for men. The difference with anal sex, I would say, is the tightness. It's a little more tighter to go into the anus and it's taboo. So I think it feels different. We all want variety, right? Variety is a spice of your sex life. So if you want to spice things up, I think it's just. It's taboo. It's something different. It's not going into your vagina, it's going into your ass. And it also feels different. What do you think, Ben, about anal sex? The difference?

I haven't had a lot of.

Anal experience.

Anal experience, yeah. I always have. How do I say this? Not a lot of luck getting it in know What I'm saying.

Yeah, I hear you. Okay. So I would. In the other. My main tip is for anal. That's how we're going to say about anal is you have to go slow and you have to breathe. Because since we're nervous and we're tense around anal sex, we tend to hold our breath. Breath Whenever we get nervous. You know, you got to breathe into it. It helps to have a clitoral orgasm first because I love that you had an orgasm the first time because, you know, the walls are very thin. So like the wall between your. Your anus and your. Your internal, like your G spot and all that, you can actually. A lot of women do have orgasm, so. But you gotta. It helps to have an orgasm first. So to have a clitoral orgasm to be turned on, you know, already have sex or perform well, I mean, you gotta.

You gotta prep the area too. You know, you can't. Yeah, you gotta. You gotta. You gotta stretch it out. You can't just. You can't just buy a baseball glove and go play in the majors. I'd say just get. Just get a little butt plug and use that during foreplay. And that will. That will physically prepare the area.

Exactly. So start to use a butt plug. That's great. Use a butt plug. You can also use fingers. He can just use lots of lube. Go slow and start teasing. You said during foreplay. He's already doing that. So I would say make sure that he uses a lot of lube. Warms you up, sticks a finger inside. Or use a great little butt plug. That's really fun, too.

Pro tip for the fellas. If you're gonna give the little starfish a smooch, then you are cut off from smooching the vagina.

Right. Don't go from anal to vaginal. Vaginal, anal. Don't go back.

That's like.

Don't change horses in the middle.

UTI City.

Yeah. Good, Ben.

Thank you.

Okay, so there you go. And I say definitely try it again. And just remember, lots of lube. Go slow, breathe. Warm enough? Okay. Justin, 20, New Jersey. Hey, Emily. I've been in a relationship for over a year now, and I've really gotten to know my partner and all the things she likes in bed. I was a guy that showed her she is capable of squirting. And when she does, it makes me feel like my expectation slash goal is made. Now, for some reason, she doesn't like getting to that point. And it confused me because I would have thought that's what other girls. What Some girls may want to be able to go above their limits and to be satisfied. I'm just confused as to why she. She no longer wants to reach that limit.

I mean, I can probably answer that. She's probably just in her head about the cleanup, honestly.

Or she might not really think that he likes it, that he's into it. I'm wondering if I bottle it and.

Sell it as a fine wine.

Is that what this wine is?

So here's.

We switched your normal Grecian wine.

Is that. Justin, I would say to you, is that.

I think a lot of times what we don't want things like vehemently opposed to things when they happen is there might be something about that experience that she was embarrassed by. It wasn't as comfortable. Maybe she's afraid it's not going to happen again. And maybe there's a lot of pressure. You might not even be realizing that you're doing it, but there could be pressure on her to perform. And I think that when we get into our heads and she's worried that either you don't like it or it's not going to happen, that, you know, she's just like, I want to take it off the table. No, that's a no. Because if. Now I want to ask you this too. Did she enjoy it when it happened also? Like, did she really enjoy it or was she doing it for you? I think that's the thing with sex. Sometimes we think, well, I'm doing it for his pleasure, her pleasure, our partner's pleasure, and not for our own. The other thing is, I want people to understand the distinction between squirting and orgasm. Some women can squirt and they don't orgasm. Some women obviously orgasm and squirt, and sometimes women do both. So it might not have been as pleasurable for her. So she might be like, you know, it's true that it takes a lot of g spot.

Penetration. It takes a lot of g spot probing, either using your tongue or your finger or toy. And I'm just wondering if she's already warmed up, has her orgasms, has her pleasure. That's all I can think of is why she doesn't want to do it.

Yeah, do it in the shower. I'm telling you. I think it's probably she's just nervous about the fact that it can be quite explosive.

It can be messy. That's true.

You got to wash the sheets and she's like. Like it happened the first time. But then she was to actually see that if you're getting into squirting. There's a good deal of cleanup.

There is.

And because of that, I think she might be cutting herself off to the experience. So my advice would be take a shower with your lady. Hold her by the butt, because her knees are gonna get a little weak. Crook the old middle finger, put it inside. Make sure she knows her weight is supported. Cause if it's gonna work right, her knees are gonna get weak. And then slowly go to town. And I think all the water coming off of her from the shower is gonna get her in the mouth. And I think you will be having your squirt fantasies lived out in no time.

You're so good at this, Ben. The other thing I want to say about the cleanup is that I'm sort of obsessed with the new. It's not new, but Liberator makes all the sex furniture, like the wedge and different things like that. Like, they make different. You know, because I think one of the big things during sex that we don't realize is that using pillows or a wedge or something to prop yourself up in different positions can really, really change up the whole game. So for women. Yeah. The neck, Putting a pillow under your body. Right. Wedge. But they have this blanket. It's a throw. It's a throw that's for. It's for. It's like a king size or queen size throw that you put on your bed that is for sex. And it's really comfortable. It's really cozy. But there's no cleanup because you just throw it in the wash right after. I think just have that at the front of your bed. It doesn't look like anything. It looks like a regular, cushy, amazing soft blanket. But it happens to be for sex. It's waterproof, and it's amazing. So.

But I mean, like, what do you do with the actual. I mean, you know, you ever seen, like, a baseball team? Like, pull the tarp off of a wet baseball field? Like, all the fluid kind of pools.

But this one doesn't seep through.

Is it like a sponge?

No, no. It looks like one of those super cushy, fleecy kind of blankets. Feels amazing. Looks amazing. It doesn't. It's not cotton. It's not weird, like, tarp. It's not tarp. It's comfortable. You could literally sleep on it every night. And you could always leave it on your bed. And then when you want to have crazy sex, you get on top of it. It's great for anal. It's great for sporting. It's great for lube. I I really want, like 10 of them. And so that's how I feel about that. This is from Laura, 27, London. Hey, Emily. My boyfriend and I've been together for about 10 years now, and we have sex generally twice a week. My issue is how to make involving sex toys feel more natural. I feel that during sex it interrupts the flow of things to stop and get a toy, then start again. I'd really love to use my toys more, but I never seem to get the flow of things right. Right. How would you resolve this? Thanks for your help. Love the show. Okay, Laura, you know, I love anything about sex toys. So the first thing is you've been together for 10 years, and the thing about sex toys is once you start involving them, I think that, again, this is another thing that you're probably in your head about, because I'm sure he's supportive of it. And the easiest way to do it is to leave them charged up and ready to go right next to your bed. The last thing you want to do is be like, oh, I want a toy. Let me get up, walk across the room, get it. Is it charged? So there's certain prep that comes with using toys. And I think the other thing is just to have them. When you go in the room and you start having sex or you get in bed at night, pull it out, have it in the nightstand so you can just grab it. There's no opening drawers, there's no opening boxes, and you just start to like, turn on the toy. You can grab it, he can grab it. Because I'm sure he wants you to have pleasure. The other thing is it doesn't have to just be for you. So sometimes I'll use my toy and Ben, you can talk about this because I don't remember how we started with toys. I just know I always use them, but I feel like you could grab it and just. I like to use it on him too. Like, I like dragging along his chest, along his penis. Like, vibrations can feel great on men. But really I think that once he sees how you use it on yourself, that he's going to be down and just. It just becomes kind of part of sex like everything else that you do. So I'm not sure what part of it is awkward or not natural to you, but I think when it's just matter of fact, you don't overthink it. It kind of becomes like so natural. Like brushing your teeth.

You're like, roll it into your pre.

Sex, you know, roll into foreplay, roll it into.

Put on Put on an Apple music playlist. Wash your hands, powder your junk, Put the toys next to the bed and go for it.

Right? I think that's true. I don't remember how we first started using it, but now you'll be like, get your toy. Or like, whatever, whenever we use them, or they're just there, or I grab it with confidence. I'm telling you, he's been with you, he loves you 10 years. He wants you to have pleasure. He wants you to feel good. And you're probably the one who's making it awkward. And you feel like there has to be this, like, seamless transition. And when it's just there, like, everything, like, it's the same way I feel about lube. My dream is a lube on every nightstand. Like, when I die, if there's a lube on every nightstand, I will be happy. So I feel like toys are the same thing. There should be no shame. There should be no embarrassment. I know that there is. But the more you're comfortable with it, the more you're like, yep, here's my toy. We're using this, and you start using it on yourself, he's gonna be cool with it. He's your lover. When you say you never seems to get the flow of things right. I don't know how it could be wrong. Like, there's no way to do it wrong. You just take what you want, use what you need, and he's gonna love it. I love the pivot. Obviously, I brought two of them. The cock rings. That's a really fun couple story. The reason why I brought it, I didn't read your brig too, is because it's great clitoral toy. Like, so I use it as a clitoral vibe. But you could also use it during sex. He wears it around his penis and go to town. Feels great, but toys are. You were so cool with toys, right, Ben? Was there ever any point in your life where it seemed awkward?

No. I think toys are getting a lot easier, too, because they're getting smaller. Like, my idea of Toys 5, 10 years ago was just a dildo, right? A big dildo this year, like your space age bag of, like, NASA technology. And they're just, you know, quite small. Little cute little vibrator.

And they feel great, too, right?

You like how it feels? I'm like, right? Yes, baby.

I like how it makes you feel.

Right?

For sure.

So, Laura, that's what you gotta do. And I think I'm telling you this, sweetie. Once you start doing it and like, the next Few times you're like, I'm doing it. Just get my voice in your head. You're like, Elmy just says, grab it. You're going to realize that it's just a natural part of your flow and it won't be as awkward as you think. I'm sure he just wants you to have pleasure. Okay, we're gonna go get some dinner. Some lamb. I'm gonna do a lamb.

Is this it for Lick my Weenie in Santorini?

Thank God that. But we would love your title ideas for this exposition. We might need to just sketch it out. I hope it made sense to people. Very literal. But I love you all. I love Ben. Ben.

Yes. Anyone who lives in Los Angeles, I'm beginning my own the Los Angeles, the LA area. Beginning my own monthly show at the Laugh Factory. Want to make it the hot destination? Emily will be there.

I will be there.

And the first show is August 14th, 7:30, Tuesday. It's called Super Funny, Super Funny at the Laugh Truth. Justice in the American way of laugh. And I'll be putting up a bunch of my friends who I think are the best young voices. Some are old in comedy and kind of showcasing the people I think make me laugh harder than anyone. And it's at the world famous Hollywood Laugh Factory. You can get info and join the comp guest list at Superfunny.

Which will have all the info you need and you can get free tickets. August 14th, Tuesday, 7:30. Come on out to the Laugh Factory. It's going to be a great early evening of comedy.

Yeah, I can't wait. Here's the thing I love about dating Ben. What's been amazing is that I always yeah, I love comedy. Comedy shows are fun, but I never thought to get tickets or go to improv show. And when they say that laughter is the best medicine, being with Ben and going to these shows and sitting through your stand up routines and seeing other comedians and laughing so hard my stomach hurts really is just the serotonin kicks in the dopamine. You just feel better and you laugh a lot and feel better.

I always said that laughter is the socially acceptable form of the orgasm. And much like an orgasm, when you make yourself laugh it feels good, but when someone else makes you laugh, it feels really good.

So true. Yeah, that's a good point.

Think how closely related the laughing and it's very true. It's the exact same muscles in your core. You're kind of making the same noises.

Yeah, I laugh so hard.

Come on out and let me tickle your laughter clit with my joke finger.

I hope to see you all there. It's gonna be a really fun show.

Superfunny show for info and guest list.

There's one overlooked mineral behind better sleep. Sharper focus, stronger muscles and a healthier heart. And at least half of us aren't getting enough. Most people don't realize they're running low on one of the most vital minerals for human health. Magnesium. And here's the thing, no single form of magnesium can deliver all of its benefits.

It's a whole body nourishment for how you think, move, connect and feel. More than just a sleep supplement, it's a foundation for daily well being which absolutely supports a healthier sex life.
