X-RATED: It exploded and now he’s too scared to use it!!

In short

The Girls’ Bathroom episode mixes lighthearted chat, listener updates, and advice. They start with a “Listener’s Choice” award pitch (vote on the British Podcasting Awards site) and then catch up: BTS concert memories (Jimin praised; “Swim” mentioned), watching the World Cup (Spain/England discussion; Argentina fans; Messi’s wife praised), and buying Sunny Angels for summer (rabbit/pineapple/shark “vacation series” unboxing). A guest question-of-the-week asks: if you could have any superpower, what would you choose? Hosts suggest teleportation and invisibility; listeners mention mind-reading, lie detection, freezing time, refilling coffee, speaking to animals, and more.

Main advice segment

an “X-rated” dilemma about a boyfriend’s “banjo snap”/torn penile frenulum after sex causing extreme bleeding; he’s too scared to have sex again.

Key claims

doctor says it’s not uncommon and should heal; healing time likely 1–6 weeks depending on tear depth; the real issue is trauma and avoidance.

Notable examples

the writer’s panic while on blood thinners; months of reduced sex; reassurance via communication and gradual, pressure-free check-ins.

Guests

no named external guests; advice comes from listener emails and a question-of-the-week recorded by “Inae” (Zendaya) for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

14:49Okay, so in Spider-Man Brand New Day, Peter Parker is discovering and adjusting to his new powers. So here's my question. If you could have any superpower, what would you choose and what would you do with it? I'll start things off. I think I would choose teleportation. And I would use it to just obviously get around places much easier because that is much of my life is traveling. So it would make my life so much easier. Okay, your turn. Can't wait to hear all of your answers. Make sure to catch Spider-Man Brand New Day only in cinemas this July. Period. Period. Hey, ladies. She said ladies. She thinks we're ladies.

Gerald Butler. Zac Efron. Celebrity crush. Lorenzo. Julia We should get Lorenzo on We could get Lorenzo and Julia on Because I also feel like Julia would give incredible advice Because she stands on the business Yes Or we could get Jasmine and Lorenzo on And mix things up And just go for it Honestly I put out requests to every single one Yeah we'll think about it Incredible season What superpower would you have then baby Okay let me think let me think let me think I don't want to mind read.

16:16I don't want to travel back in time. I don't want to travel to the future either. I think that's dangerous. I've watched enough films about people getting trapped in the wrong time, people missing time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not here for that. I mean, what's on offer? Can you inspire me with any powers? On offer is flight, wings, invisibility, you know. you know webs yeah

16:48it could be anything I think I would like I know I've got one I would like to be invisible I'd be a bit scared yeah I don't need to my superpower would be that I could be in my dressing gown click my fingers and be ready yeah and I could just go yeah I want that hair and I want that makeup and I'm gonna wear that outfit boom yeah leading along from that I would like it to be like I want a burger right now it's right there that's good or like I want a match right now or like I like the sound effect I need a new pair of jeans so really our power is summoning yeah thought to hams that was pretty good Can we see what the listeners have said?

17:42Please, yeah. Let's see what everyone else's superpower is. Probably much better than our suggestions. I feel like a lot of you guys are actually light and bitter mind reading. That would stress me out. Be able to tell when someone is lying to you. So it's just like you're a lie detector. Yeah, but then like what happens when you have an amazing surprise birthday? You know, some surprises in life are good and some white lies are for great surprises. Yeah, yeah. The power to refill empty coffee, refill empty one it's similar to my one empty bag oh odd m &m's empty bag of m &m's refill yeah i like that one maltese i actually really like that one yeah i like that rich tea biscuits fly so yeah fly yeah freezing time so i'd never be late again and still spend ages getting ready oh i see i see yeah i like i wouldn't mind freezing time if i just needed a minute yeah just like i can't do this right now just need 10 minutes yeah i like that having my food always at the right temperature tired of microwaving it and then it's too hot okay yeah fair fair makeup and hair done with the click of fingers that's yours yeah god it's like one mind be able to magically see red flags before you get too serious with them yeah yeah just like a little alert see the future so i know if i'm wasting my time with men that's dangerous because surely like how you act will be altered.

19:02Yeah. I think seeing in the future would just... You know what I mean? Yeah. Send you off course, actually. Being able to speak to my dog. That's actually a beautiful one. I changed my answer. Oh, that's such a lovely one. Like, are you hot? Are you cold? Do you need water? You want to go on a walk now? Sorry. You don't like that chicken? Sorry. Oh, that would be really nice. That would be actually really nice. Mind reading, because I love... Yeah, just being able to talk to animals in general. would be beautiful. That's a really good one. Like imagine tapping on your fishbowl. Yeah, that's actually Gorge.

19:35Yeah, that's cute. Mind reading because I love good gossip when it's not about me. Well, yeah, only when it's not about you. Yes. You don't want to mind read someone who's... I guess just looking into strangers on the street. Right. Like what are you thinking? But then I don't need to know strangers' thoughts. No, neither do I. I don't need to know anyone's thoughts. Invisibility because I'm nosy. Fair. Teleportation. Yeah. Just like Zendaya said. Just like Zendaya said. Our bestie. Our good friend. ourselves a good personal friend make people well make people shit themselves whenever i want yeah fair fair enough okay fair uh not letting my mood depend on my relationship yes that's a good one make money appear in my bank account oh now that is a good one yeah now i changed all my answers never have to wash my hair again oh actually i changed my answer i'd like that to undo things like moments of embarrassment okay but then these are moments that make you human this is quite good speak every language need to know what my what my nail ladies are saying yeah fair enough fair uh twilight level super speed yes okay yes power of persuasion so i get everything i want yeah okay this girl's got it right to be a mermaid talk to fishes swimming breathing underwater you'd never be a bit scared of the deep ocean yeah because i was wearing goggles in the sea and i almost felt like i can see too much and actually like i'm looking out into the blue and now i'm petrified that like i'm just picturing a shark like appearing from the distance i just couldn't look under the water anymore it was stressing me out i didn't want to see what was in there i can't even look just in it if i'm in it like not underneath just like i don't even want to look around scary yeah i don't mind looking around but looking under and forward i was like because there's stuff down there we do not know about i completely agree and we mustn't forget gerald who's gerald of course the man who helped no but gerald was the leader the leader dolphins I was like Gerald could come and get me right now How is he?

26:50Brian, Susan and I decided to go through with the threesome again this past weekend. And it was even better than the first time. We've agreed to make it a regular thing as long as we're all feeling comfortable and Susan is single. We even managed to tick off another bucket list item with her, which was amazing. Wow. Care to share? also the way brian and i have communicated throughout this process has been so positive and we've both been feeling like we can accomplish anything as a couple that's great wow it's really bringing you guys closer my minor dilemma now is obviously some others in our friendship group have heard about our adventures with susan i was gonna say i was like who knows word spread and another couple in our group have said that they are curious about swinging and asked if we'd be interested in trying that out with them oh so you've really tickled everyone's pickles like the desire well now what you need to curricular sexual activities yeah well now what you need to do is put pampas grass out in your front garden that signals to everyone that i used to have pampas in both of my windows when i lived in the flat and i had no idea what i was signaling to what i remember yeah yeah because i remember when because pampas was all the rage wasn't it yeah like back in the covid times we had pampas everywhere and then yeah and everyone would be Like you do know that Pampas signifies that you're a swingers?

28:06No, I had no idea. Yeah. And you could put a pineapple. A pineapple also signifies it. What about my Sonny Angel pineapple? There you go. Absolutely. Put it on a chain around your neck. I think a pineapple signifies you're a swinger. Really? One second. I think so. Pampas and pineapple. What signifies I'm a swinger to others? Upside down Pampas. I knew it. upside down pineapples wow upside down pineapples and pampas grass and black rings a black ring worn on the right hand signifies a discreet community signal wow lawn ornaments lawn ornaments quirky yard decorations like we're quirky in this house ah so all those people with like gnomes in their gardens yeah it's like she's a freak and like the fairies on the sticks yeah I've got a decoration in my garden I've got a butterfly on a stick there you go certified freak house.

29:05Wow. Love it. Okay, yeah. And it was an upside down plan. Right, okay. So all your friends now are wanting to swim with you because they know that you're professional, you've got it down, you're having a great time. You're influencing the group. Also like your success story of it, it's like, we're handling this great. If you want to get involved, like let us know. Let us know. You guys should start charging. Yeah. We've got this down. Make some money out of this. So this other couple have said they're interested in trying it out with us. They are both attractive, but Brian and I have obviously never thought of them that way and then I guess for Brian as well it's a man as well and he's not experienced that off the bat we said we would be interested as a one as a one-time thing but since then both Brian and I have been a bit apprehensive this other couple are fairly close friends and although they're chill people who are open about sexuality we know this could change the friendship okay yeah because wasn't Susan like a friend but like Not really in the group.

30:03And I think that is kind of a good... It's a happy medium. Because if this is a couple you're seeing every weekend... It's getting awkward. Well, there's more chance of issues. We also don't necessarily want to be known as the swinger couple. Okay, so no upside down panoplas on your neck. Yeah, and feel maybe we should just stick to the good thing we've got with Susan already. On the other hand, being adventurous with Susan and just going for it was ultimately very positive. and maybe this could be the same. What do you think we should do? My gut is that you've got... Wait, sorry. She said, P.S.

30:38Since you were wondering about the rest of the bucket list, here it is. She's actually given us the bucket list. Right, so she's ticked what we've got, what they've done. Brilliant. Tick, threesome with another woman. Obviously, Susan. Check. Tick, Brian tie me up handcuffs. She's put in brackets. It was good. Another tick is sexy photo shoot. Susan volunteered to be our photographer, which was hot. love it we've got another tick me tying brian up not our thing we discovered okay i didn't like that nice another tick butt plugs in bracket she's put great i love the little annotations yeah yeah these are things that are still on the bucket list outdoor sex okay yeah all day in bed at a five-star hotel definitely on our next holiday that sounds really nice sex in the same room as others having sex maybe with this other couple oh yeah okay buying surprise sexy outfits for each other nice role-playing involving dom sub dynamics lovely you guys okay well since that's on your bucket list i feel like it might be a no-brainer yeah i mean my gut instinct was you've had like i i feel like if you're both feeling like you said you're both feeling a bit anxious going up to it I'm not sure if that is a sign that actually maybe this isn't the right match for us and we've had a great thing with Susan it was what because having a having another woman and having a couple I feel like is a very different experience and also like how's Brian gonna feel like potentially watching you have sex with his friend who's a man like it might like and even for you like how are you gonna feel watching your friend have sex like it might it might not feel the same i don't know you guys are obviously very adventurous you have a lot of trust like it might be great but i would maybe go into it i don't know i would be a bit cautious because you are both feeling a bit anxious about it sorry i just read the the top line of the next item i'm just skipped ahead um yes i think if both of your gut is like maybe not go with that because that's a signal being like actually we can find another couple who are both attracted to who are not super close with there's no risk of like any friendships breaking down or any like you could jealousy in terms of it being like people why don't you suggest and we can tick off a bucket list item why don't you suggest both couples why don't you go together to the place where everyone has sex in the same room the swinger party the swinger party yeah and you can both just have sex with your respected because isn't this the couple who went to that party what was that couple who went to that party and they walked around.

33:19Oh, I don't know. Is that ringing a bell? It could be them, yeah. And they decided maybe it was something. Yeah, I know. I don't know. So maybe it was you, but maybe just go with them. Go together. To one of these things. See them in that environment. They can see you. You can catch your vibe. Because also then, you're not saying like, we're all going to have sex. They might find someone else. You might find someone else or you guys might just have sex respectively next to each other in the same room and then we can tick off our next adventure. So we're being productive. But yeah, maybe don't jump into that one.

33:51Maybe just let them know like, lovely, thank you for the offer. We'll definitely keep you guys in mind. We're definitely gonna consider it. I think we've all got some things to consider since we're very close friends. Maybe it's also worth them having a threesome with someone else. Just to check. So they can check that they're into it and they like it and let them have a successful experience before we immediately have sex with our friendship group. That's smart. Well, bon chance. Bon chance. Thank you for the list. Thank you for the inspiration. Absolutely.

40:51okay next up whoa yeah

40:58my boyfriend's penis exploded whoa how does that happen and now i think she means ejaculated yeah like so it's uh what's the word it's a metaphor you know it exploded metaphorically not fit like the whole penis didn't explode and now he won't sleep with me oh so maybe it was actually a medical emergency maybe it was a medical emergency hi girls i genuinely never thought i'd be writing in because usually i'm sat on the other side of the screen listening to everyone else's chaos thinking wow glad that's not me wow could never have been me yeah well the universe clearly heard me first of all i absolutely adore you both i've been listening since 2019 watch the vlogs every week and honestly your podcast is one of my favorite parts of my week and the time has come that i desperately need some big sister advice because i genuinely don't know what to do anymore so i'm 20 and i've been with my boyfriend let's call him brian for almost two years he is honestly the sweetest kindest most caring boy ever i know everyone says that about their boyfriend but i genuinely mean it he's my best friend and i love him so much we are also each other's first relationship and first sexual partner now here's where things start to get messy i'm so curious about this explosion i've always been quite open and comfortable talking about sex not in a weird way but i've never found it embarrassing good brian however is the complete opposite he's always been very shy very reserved and does get embarrassed talking about anything remotely sexual.

42:34So when we first started having sex, there was definitely a bit of a learning curve. I was patient, he was nervous, we were figuring out things together. And after a while, everything became really comfortable. And eventually we got to the point where we had an amazing and healthy sex life. We both felt really confident and life was good. Oh my God. So he's not so comfortable like - I think we've had a banjo snap. Oh, blood. I know someone who's had this. then came the event the incident the catastrophe the reason i'm writing this email a few months ago we were having sex at my house everything was completely normal it was a regular afternoon regular guys nobody could have predicted the absolute horror movie that was about to unfold yeah well the bloodbath yeah i've heard it is an absolute bloodbath as well i've heard it's chaos Yeah, because it's a very sensitive part of the skin.

43:34It's like when... It does repair though, I think. Yeah. Or does it not? I think it's normal thing to happen, I think. She thinks. So we were in the middle of it. Everything is fine. And suddenly I look down. Whoa. Girls, there is blood. Whoa. And when I say blood, I don't mean a little bit. I mean everywhere. Whoa. On me, on him, on the sheets. Whoa. basically every surface within a three mile radius oh my god i genuinely cannot explain how much blood there was my immediate thought wasn't oh someone must have a small cut no my immediate thought was i've somehow been fatally wounded i was fully convinced i'd suffered some sort of internal injury and that this was the end for me yeah my first thought would be like oh my god like i'm bleeding i mean yeah like this is a heavy period flight yeah like at the time i'd also recently had knee surgery and was taking blood thinning injections so my brain immediately went to he's injured me my blood clot and this is how I die wow oh my yeah because when you're on blood thinners like if you get gonna be so careful your blood is like everywhere meanwhile Brian looks like he's about to faint oh my he looks like he's about 30 seconds away from ascending into heaven yeah like poor boy had gone completely white well yeah I'm like has he not like signaled that he's the one in pain i i obviously you know the pain has come after you're in the moment and you're like whoa and then it's all like right right so we both panic and rush into the shower because we're trying to work out who was actually bleeding i'm checking myself he's checking himself we're both standing there looking like we've escaped from a crime documentary eventually we figured out okay so no one's really in pain that's good eventually we figure out that somehow i'm completely fine not a scratch not a drop nothing and then we realize the blood is coming from him turns out part of his penis had torn honestly if someone had told me this before this happened that this was a thing i would have thought they were lying the amount of blood was genuinely insane considering what the actual injury turned out to be the whole thing was so dramatic that if someone had walked into the room they would have assumed a murder had taken place Brian was absolutely traumatized He was sitting in the shower Completely silent Pale as a ghost Looking like his life had flashed before his eyes Meanwhile I was trying my absolute best To be the calming one Bringing him water Checking if he was in pain Trying not to panic Imagine he fainted Oh my Making the shower Eventually he went to the doctor And thankfully everything was completely okay The doctor told him It is actually not that uncommon It would heal And it was very unlikely to happen again yeah and we have not had sex since whoa fair enough like fair like if i got injured on my panicked as well it's almost like when you give birth sorry my this hair is like if it's like when you give birth i'm not you're not having sex like we're not having sex like something traumatic has just happened down there like we're not having sex so it's just the same he's been injured yeah we still i wonder how long it's been though yeah we still kiss cuddle and occasionally a little bit of foreplay but the second things start heading towards actual sex it's like a switch flips in his brain he immediately pulls back changes the mood gets distracted turns over goes to sleep anything except continue so is he not saying how he's healing how he's feeling he's struggling to talk about it he was always awkward about talking about it so maybe this is he's regressing how's it doing how's how's he doing is it you know i know it's because of what happened i genuinely do i don't think he's cheating i don't think he's lost feelings i don't think he's suddenly not attracted to me i just think he's terrified the thing is every time it happens i still end up feeling rejected because even though logically i know what's going on emotionally it is difficult not to think you know is he still attracted to me will our sex i'll ever get back to normal we've had a few conversations about it but brian is very uncomfortable talking about sex in general as i mentioned and now this has made it even worse whenever i gently bring it up he kind of shuts it down i've tried reassuring him the doctor you know told him that it was very unlikely to happen again i've told him that even if somehow it did we'd know what it was this time i wouldn't spend 10 minutes thinking someone had died i've tried to be patient i've tried giving him space i've tried pretending not to notice nothing really changes and now i feel stuck because on one hand i completely understand why he's scared if i had looked down and seen what looked like a murder scene coming from one of the most sensitive parts of my body i'd probably be traumatized too but on the other hand it's been months maybe we're desensitized to blood because we see blood coming out of our our genitals constantly yes do you know what i mean yeah like we see blood and we're just like it's what it is but like men they're like blood yeah they're like what's going on yeah i miss that so it's been months yeah i miss that part of our relationship and every time he pulls away i can't stop myself from taking it personally so girls what do i do do i keep gently encouraging conversations about it do i completely leave it alone and let him get there in his own time has anyone else ever experienced something like this and most importantly how do i support my boyfriend through what is clearly a really scary experience for him without making him feel pressured while also being honest about the fact that it's starting to affect me too please help right i just had a tricky one to navigate i just did a very quick google okay what's it told us so I said how long does it take for a banjo snap to heal a torn penile frenulum ah yes the frenulum a colloquial a banjo string colloquial colloquial but it takes one to three weeks to heal for minor tears four to six weeks for deeper tears or if a minor surgical surgical repair apparently sometimes people go to surgical repairs it's required healing time healing time depends largely so okay so he probably is fully healed and ready to go but it's kind of that like mental block of the past sexual experience he's had yes i think we need to try and open it open him up slowly but he's not he's shutting us down isn't he he doesn't like talking about it no but he needs to sorry like you're in a relationship yeah we have sex something happened i was there like you could talk to me about that yeah you don't need to be embarrassed you've been to the doctor like you spoke like you know like i was there like i experienced it too like please talk to me you know about it and how you're feeling and why you're not wanting to go to the next extra mile the extra mile and it's it's fine if you just do a bit a bit more foreplay if you're still in pain and it's like he needs the confidence that like he can like get an erection and it not explode yeah i wonder if he's masturbating he probably this is a question we should ask we should ask him i think we should literally just be like how are you feeling down there obviously it's no secret we've not had sex in two months how is it doing yeah how is it like he can talk about the health of his penis like that's like medical don't we to have a look yeah do you want me to see is there a scab is it reconnected i don't fucking know yeah do you need some vaseline yeah some pseudocram i don't know like is it still sore to the touch fair enough yes like you're the one who wheezes and touches it like this is your body like yeah you just need to be able to speak because if you can if he just says you know what babe it still hurts it's still really sensitive to the touch fine then you're not spiraling thinking you're being rejected that's as simple as that so you need to say to him look it's quite I really need you to talk to me about how you're feeling and what's going on because right now I keep feeling rejected every time we get close to having sex and I'm thinking it's a me thing but what's actually going on yeah completely agree hopefully that solves it and if it's like shutting it down just like sorry yeah sorry sorry sorry you're gonna have to come you're actually gonna need to talk to me about this because i'm spiraling yeah you've got me writing into podcasts for advice that fucking podcast yeah you know what podcast i've been writing into them because i can't seem to get a word out of you yeah so i've been having to ask those two 28 year old girls two twats who seem to know a lot and ask them what's going on yeah i'm not a mind reader yeah like you need to say that to him like it's actually that serious i appreciate that he is a little bit scared or a lot scared i fear he's not wanting to rush like he's feeling like oh my god oh my god and i know that you don't want to pressure him because like imagine if you'd give him birth he just needs to chat to you and your partner was like went went went went you'd be like oh i'm not ready not ready not ready like yeah if he's not ready that's absolutely fine but you just need that communication that is it you just want the talking and i feel like that will also get you out of your head and you're spiraling yeah just So how's it doing today?

52:43A little weekly check-in, you know? Is there any physiotherapy we can do? Yeah, any stretches? Like, seriously. Massages? You know, like rehabilitation? Absolutely. Like, seriously. Absolutely. But don't tell him that you've actually wrote into the podcast before he's a spiral. He doesn't like talking about sex and he knows that this is being broadcast. Let's leave and be. Ignorance is bliss. All that needs, this will be fixed by communication and he needs to sort that out. Good luck. Bon shot. May his willy have a speedy recovery. I think he's yeah he doesn't want it to happen again maybe it was a big clean up job rightly so I can't stop thinking about my toy boy situationships willy toy boy situationships willy I think that's a new season of maths coming have you seen that clip on tiktok of have you seen who's broke up who the golden couple of australia maps oh my god no who oh you guys remind me who these people are and got engaged apparently they've broke up oh my god who bob christina oh oh no way christina and pop um don't quote me what's his name oh what was his name i saw it on my like suggested Instagram thing today.

She got her ribs removed or something. Oh, my God. For aesthetics. Oh, Becca. Right. so we've got i can't stop thinking about my toy boy situationships willie hello mulleties i love you girls on the pod it's such a comfort list no sorry that's what sorry that's where my mind went there's some sort of clip on tiktok and it's paul yeah he's with a guy yeah who i think is going to be on the next maths or he's applying to maths or he's been chosen as a husband on maths and paul's like you need to call up your situationship right now and tell her that it's done and he's like oh like probably better to text her like oh like she's just a friend like i'll probably hang out like we just hang out paul's like no no if you're gonna do this experiment you need to end it with your situation shit right now like you need to call her oh i'd rather text her uh paul's like sorry mate you're gonna call her right now and then he calls his situation so hi i'm not gonna see you anymore i'm going on maps like trailer yes i don't know what it was and then she's like what the fuck no sorry i i don't can't remember what she says she's like what is this a joke la la la and then hangs up i don't know what that was why would they be choosing husbands that are in situations that's exactly what the comments were saying the comments were saying why did have you then gone ahead with this man he's clearly not serious no but apparently they've gone ahead with i don't know was he American was he Australian I don't know so I really don't know what that was but it just I don't know either I was like why is Paul here but I was like it was so weird but then it seemed fake like the call but I think it was real no because it was Paul Paul was like you're gonna have to call her up right now Paul's a serious guy no he was like you need to be mature and call her up right now and end this wow so god knows what that was I'm 30 years old and I've been single for two years and loving it I've been on so many holidays, nights out in festivals.

56:24I bought my own house. Yes. Wow. I'm so happy. She's on the property ladder. But I feel ready to find my person as all my friends are getting married or getting engaged. All right. So this is a situation where she's got a situationship. She's dating other men. No one's woolly compared to this woolly. I see. I'm just making assumptions. Oh, yeah. Right. So she says, I've been in this situationship for nearly a year with a boy. That's a long, just as a flag, that's a long situationship. yes yes that's a considerable length if she was just using it i guess it's not friends with benefits because that's an agreed thing so is it kind of like from her and she would want it to be a relationship that's why i'm still kind of about because you're giving me enough to think that maybe it's going to be a relationship yeah and that's how it gets the term situationship with a boy i met at a festival i spotted him and fancied him straight away so later on when we saw him again my best friend went over and told him that i fancied him let's call him brian we started chatting and dancing and later on this is a nice story yeah we met at a festival yeah it's nice until it's not do you know what i mean right yeah sorry but it is a lovely story yeah if it then became absolutely yeah yeah we were all over each other kissing and dancing fun i found out that Brian is six years younger than me.

57:48Okay. Being a cougar was not on my 2025 or 2026 bingo card, but in my defense, he was with other people older than me and doesn't look or act 24. Okay. We met up a few times and then eventually started sleeping together. Brian is good looking, funny and kind, and we get on so well and the sex is unreal. We agreed quite early on that we would keep it casual as he said he doesn't want anything serious until he's in his 30s so is this how men are just going then they're just like when i'm 30 i'll think about that what taxi is yeah he's thinking when i'm ready then i'll just find the closest woman to me i'll flag one down however brian and i act like a couple when we're together it's very confusing just without the label of a relationship i've met his mom and his friends he helps with anything i need or will always come over and get me if I ever call him.

58:42He lives an hour away. I make him dinner sometimes. Oh no. Uh oh. Not cooking the tea. He will bring me silly little gifts or flowers or my favorite wine. This guy needs. So you are having a girlfriend experience. Yeah. So in the beginning. Like you are very comfortable with this guy. There's a lot of trust. You're probably falling in love. Probably are in love. You've met the family. I think we're in love. I think we probably are too. We are. But we're under the guise of like, oh no, it's just a situation shit. But really, like you're having a girlfriend experience and you're giving a girlfriend experience as well because you're cooking his dinner.

59:22This is dangerous. Soul destroying. It's obvious that we both care for each other a lot. And he assured me that he's not sleeping with anyone else. She says, which I do believe. Oh no. Well then why is he being a twat then? At the end of 2025, I got drunk and asked him to come get me and take me home. We had a big conversation about the future. I told him that I wanted to find something serious, but I wouldn't be able to do it with him still in the picture. Okay. Good conversation to have. Well done. He said he wanted me to be happy and that he wasn't that guy. Wow. What does that mean? He wasn't the guy for her?

1:00:02Yeah. Uh-oh. I think. Like I definitely had feelings for Brian and I would have wanted to try and make it work to be something more serious if he had wanted to. Yeah. Wow. So he's just like, fair. He literally was like, go find your person then. Yeah. Fuck. Like you're not my person. So like off you go. That's what that says. Like, okay, so you're happy to lose me. Yeah, babe, off you go. Go find your person. That's not me. Like, wow. You're just convenience to me right now. That is really hard to hear. but also maybe exactly what you needed to hear to be like definitely this guy's willing to lose me than actually just like be my boyfriend which he basically already is like what a twat he's literally saying you're not worth it yeah you're not worth it to me i've met you and i'll happily let you go wow i'll go replace you with another sarah what a loser so brian and i didn't speak through january february and i started dating an old acquaintance there isn't much to talk about in this story um with that relationship other than it was a bit of a whirlwind and got very intense very quickly but ended very abruptly okay so we kind of got somewhere and then it ended with someone else on reflection this is a blessing in disguise as i used to get quite anxious whilst i was with him for no real reason looking back this was my gut warning me about him yeah once that ended i went straight back to brian like nothing had happened and started sleeping together again damn it i knew i still wanted to find something more serious so i started dating again quite quickly after i then met a new boy let's call him steve at first i thought steve was handsome funny and really kind i told my friends i wasn't 100 sure as i didn't get fireworks or butterflies or feel nervous around him etc so i thought it might just be more of a friendship vibe i kept going on dates with steve and started liking him more we took things quite slowly it's actually good that he doesn't make you nervous and give you butterflies because they say that they do say actually that means you're comfortable around him he's not you know messing you about but i do think in the like first second third day it is like excited yeah because you're like oh my god you're like nervous like that is exciting i think they mean like if you've been with someone for a year and you shouldn't be feeling like yeah on edge yeah almost so we were taking things quite slow, partly because I had to have a small surgery a few weeks into dating.

1:02:25We still kept seeing each other through my recovery, but I was told by my surgeon that I couldn't have sex for six weeks. Steve was super kind and supportive throughout my recovery. I stayed the night at his, and when we started kissing in bed, I nervously let him know that doctors orders and that we couldn't do anything. He laughed and said, yes, I assume that anyway i do really not like him now he's handsome funny kind he's got a good job he's grown on you yeah nice apartment and a great body and also like someone can grow on you like it doesn't mean that yeah because it wasn't fireworks in the beginning that probably means no someone can definitely grow on you definitely we can still be silly together and i feel like i can chat to him about anything i feel so calm around him i like him i like him too unlike the last one i was dating right so you didn't fit yeah he's a fireplace yes he's my age and some of my friends went to school with him and said he has a heart of gold great i like steve i love this guy if other people can vouch for him like that's a good thing also like heart of gold like come on otherwise these people be like oh well yeah this happened i warned you about this this they're saying he sounds like a really good egg i think i wasn't 100 to begin with because he wasn't love bombing me or being really intense, which is what I've experienced a lot previously.

1:03:44Steve and I planned to see each other as usual and I knew that I had the all clear from the doctors to have sex again. I was excited to see him. Ah, she misses the old Willie. I've just got back to where we started. Okay. Well, it might grow on you just like he did. I think it will grow on you. I think it will grow on you. And I think you can learn someone and guide someone and, you know, make things better. so i was excited to see steve and honestly couldn't stop thinking about having sex with him but the day before i date i started my period okay we went for dinner and drinks and then got back to mine and started kissing in bed i let him know that my period had started um but it was still quite light so i find this gross but we decided to have sex anyway lol that's fine that's fine you do you sir absolutely especially on day one still quite light little slight spotting who's to know as we'd been dating for a couple of months it felt overdue and we were both a bit drunk we just laughed and said it wasn't how we imagined it but next time we'll be better when i was off my period this is where my problem lies when he put it in all i could think about was brian's willy oh oh my god and this is steve this is steve yeah sorry i was like yes this is really right okay shit so you're comparing so you just comparison steve's willy was average size i would say but brian's penis is perfect in every way whoa extra large excel i just kept thinking about how i wished steve's willy was like brian the whole time the whole time and that it was brian i was having sex with so she's just closing her eyes and picturing brian the fact that you're having sex the first time with this guy that you've been dating in this guy that you like and your mind is wandering also like it's like wild the fact that you aren't like locked in your mind is and you're a bit drunk so you should be like even more yeah i like you're on your period you're not even thinking about that no you're thinking about brian's willie shit shit i just kept thinking about how I wish Steve's willy was like Brian's the whole time that it was Brian that I was having sex with I even had a missed call from Brian that night so he must have been thinking about me too yeah but it doesn't mean anything doesn't mean anything it just means he's horny like do you know what I mean anything doesn't mean anything he's thinking yeah booty call that's all it always answers Sarah there we go so I spoke to some of my close friends about it and they said because like also imagine i had sex with someone for the first time they're thinking about fucking susan that is like soul destroying yeah not nice that what did your friends say so i spoke to some of my friends about it and they said they're not sure i'm sexually attractive to steve i don't want to speak to any of my other friends about it as i'm a chronic overshare and conscious that i don't want to badmouth my potential future boyfriend's genitalia yeah i hear that i am trying to be optimistic and hope that next time is better when i'm not on my period I did see Brian a few weeks ago and want to cut things off for good now that things are serious with Steve Steve even wants to book a city break holiday for the end of July what do you think I should do?

1:07:00shall I go on the holiday? how do I fully forget about Brian? pics attached oh my god Steve then Brian oh my god oh my god let's see Steve is gorgeous Steve is beautiful heart of gold Steve nice body nice apartment Steve is cool he's so cool oh my god let me see oh yeah he is he's actually gorgeous he's gorgeous and cool he's like edgy i like he's so cool i like his simple out i like his glasses he's gorgeous let's see let's see the other one yeah

1:07:38ew this is brian this is brian he kind of looks like better no they look similar though they do they're similar hair colors your type yeah steve is way more handsome than brian way cooler yeah look at his like bum fluff hair no and look at steve's giving successful cool guy which is what he is he's got a good job he's got his own apartment. Maybe Brian doesn't have his own apartment. Brian's living at home with his mum. He's 24. Yeah. Oh my God, yeah. Yeah. Steve's our age. Steve is giving like hot dad as well. He was calm. Yeah. He was patient with us. Mm-hmm. Proper dates. Mm-hmm. Suggesting city breaks.

1:08:21Mm-hmm. And look at Brian. I think we let - On FaceTime looking like that. Look, I think we let Steve sweep us up our feet. And this is Sarah. Gorgeous. Oh, let's see Sarah. Bombshell. Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah. Can we get a zoom in? Yeah, absolutely. Love that dress, Sarah. Yeah, gorgeous. Oh yeah, bummer show. Wow. Right, what we're going to do here is we do need to end things with Brian. Oh, absolutely. Because this is just... Brian needs to be blocked. Also, like, this is just going to go... This will go on for another five to seven years if we don't actually put a pin in it now, I think. I think you owe it to yourself and you need to show yourself, like, some respect and be like, look, I gave it a chance with Brian.

1:09:00I gave Brian a year of my life. I literally said to him, I'm going to walk away unless this becomes more serious. And he said, all right, off you go. Like that is not someone who would fight for you, would do anything for you. Like you to him are just like a convenience, someone who answers the phone, someone who's there, someone who I know like really likes me and like doesn't usually say no. Like that's what you are to him. So when he's in the mood for, yeah, a bit of cuddling, a bit of a girlfriend experience, you know what? I'm feeling quite generous. I will buy some flowers. Yeah. When he's in that mood, yeah, you're his go-to.

1:09:36But he doesn't actually want to make you his girlfriend. No. Because he hasn't. It's only when he feels like it. Yeah. Which is rare. Yeah. Whereas Steve, I think, is showing all green flags. Intention. He is like, even your mutual friends speak very highly of him, which is really reassuring. I also like that he is more similar in age to you. because like you said, like you're 30, you're wanting to find someone like real. A 24 year old guy, you know, he is maybe not at the same life point that you are. But also he, as soon as you met him - And he has said, I'm not settling down till I'm 30. Okay, so well, I'm going to be 36.

1:10:11So is that going to work for me or is that not? That's the first thing he said to you was, just letting you know, I'm not looking for a girl from another six years. Yeah. And that's the first thing he said to you. What does Steve say? Steve didn't say that to you. No. Steve's been very loving and lovely. Steve wants to take you away at the end of July. Yeah. That's next week. So what we're going to say to Brian is, we're going to call Brian up. Like Paul got that guy to call that girl up. Yeah. We're going to call Brian up. Hey, Brian. Just want to let you know, you'll never see me again. I don't even know if we need to call him.

1:10:39I think we could just block him. I think just let him know because otherwise then he could chase and chase and chase and send emails and we don't say, hey, lovely. We've had a lovely year together. I've really enjoyed things. But as you know, I want to find a serious relationship. You're not looking for that. we can park this here. Yeah, there's no bad blood. There's no rage. It's literally a two minute conversation. Yeah. Lovely, lovely. And then block him on Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, everywhere. Okay. And then we can dive into Steve, go on this little trip, get off our period, try things again.

1:11:16I think have a couple more goes with Steve and it might improve. Because it seems like this is a slower burn. and I do think the sex could be like that too. Me too. I think just give him a chance to warm up. The more comfortable you get with each other, the more you get to kind of grips with each other. Yeah. It could just grow on you. And also like we need to just get rid of that whole Brian's got in our brain. Get rid of that. Yeah. And then if we're more present in the moment with Steve, things will be better because we're not thinking about Brian. Yeah. Because you've got a great thing in front of you by the sounds of it, Sarah.

1:11:49I think so. And I think you deserve to enjoy this kind of like lovely guy that he seems like he is wants to take care of you like he's very honest with you isn't messing you around he sounds really safe very level-headed like i think you need to experience this kind of guy and i think say yeah i'd love to go to that city break end of july absolutely i think that'll be great also i do think after that you will know if he's right for you or not yes and then you can maybe be like oh actually he's actually not right for me but i really enjoyed that experience it kind of showed me that i don't need fireworks yeah i don't need someone love bombing me like there are good guys who are going to be consistent and like warm and safe good luck Sarah enjoy your trip you're going to let us know what happens after this trip right we are going to end on our star of the week oh we've got a Dylan here Dylan you don't often hear a Dylan do you?

1:12:40Dylan I know is Dylan Efron Zac Efron's brother yeah do you know him? I do my close personal friend Dylan Efron I'd love to nominate my boyfriend Dylan for Star of the Week. We've been together for four years. It's actually our anniversary at the end of June. Oh, happy anniversary that's gone. And he is my absolute best friend. Last week, I came down with the worst sickness bug I've had in my life and he did not leave my side. He rearranged his whole work schedule so that he was working from home for as long as I needed him and let his boss know that he'd have his laptop open but was not prioritizing anything work-related.

1:13:14Wow. Wow. And just stayed with me as my living carer all while risking catching the illness himself. which luckily he didn't. He's been driving me wherever I need to go, buying me flowers, surprising me with treats on Deliveroo and he truly is just a real life angel. Also in the last six months I've quit my corporate role to work part-time in a coffee shop as I've started studying nutrition which has been a huge leap of faith and he's not doubted me for one second. He only ever supports me in every big life decision I make. He's the cheerleader I never knew I needed and I I feel so lucky every day to have a man like him by my side.

1:13:51I'm such a fan of yours and I've absolutely converted him too. We spend so much time watching your YouTube and listening to the pod. So it means so much if you read this out.

1:14:40hey guys it's drew from the comment section Some days my skin just needs a little coverage and other days I want to go full glam for those everyday moments like running errands or grabbing coffee I've been loving the merit minimalist stick because it's a foundation and concealer in one that gives me a really Natural skin like finish, but when I want more coverage i'm reaching for the hourglass vanish concealer every time I know i'm not the only one who struggled to find the right foundation or concealer shade Which is why I always shop at sephora They have the best brands all in one place with so many shades coverage options and finishes, plus expert beauty advisors, free samples, and shade matching tools both online and in-store.

1:15:21So whether you're looking for barely there coverage or full glam, Sephora can help you find your match. Hey guys, it's Paige from Giggly Squad. Okay, can we all agree that hosting is so much fun? And I really do love it. Every weekend, it's come over for snacks, let's make dinner together, and somehow the second you put out a fruit platter, it seems that bugs show up before your friends do. This is why I have to have my Zeevo flying insect trap. You plug it in and you let it do all the work. It's specially designed blue and UV light attracts the bugs you didn't know you had. And wow, did we have a lot.

1:15:55Like house flies, fruit flies, gnats. And then with Zeevo, bam. Next thing you know, the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats without any mess or strong odors. The best part is the design is actually sleek and curved so it hides the bugs it catches keeping them out of sight and when the cartridge is full you just grab the no mess tab throw it in the trash pop in a new cartridge and then you're done no mess no stress so whether you're hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon baking treats with all your friends and you want to focus on hosting and not constantly swatting at bugs zevo has you covered with 24 7 bug protection plug in a zevo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home.
