A short YouTube video by Vanessa Marin (with her husband Xander) that uses making pancakes as a live metaphor to encourage trying new things in the bedroom. They explain the "first pancake rule": expect initial attempts to be imperfect, treat the first try as not counting, communicate with your partner, and keep practicing.
If you struggle to try new things in the bedroom, the first pancake rule is for you. Hi. My name is Vanessa. This is my husband Xander. He sucks at cracking eggs. But we are going to explain this rule to you while we actually make pancakes.
We all know we should be trying new things in bed, right? But we get in our heads. What if it's weird? What if I do it wrong? What if it's not like the movies?
But the reality is that the first time you try anything new is not usually going to be incredible. So you can use the first pancake rule to reset your expectations.
When you make pancakes, the the first one always comes out a little weird no matter what you do.
So the next time you try something new in the bedroom, talk about it like it's your first pancake. This one doesn't count. We might even throw it out. But let's keep cooking.
