| Power and Oral Sex #692 | 04 Sep 2024 | 00:34:45 | |
Today we dive into two listener emails on the topic of oral sex within a marriage and the dynamics of power that can be associated with it.

Our conversation also addresses a listener's frustration with their spouse's reluctance to engage in oral sex and the power dynamics at play in their relationship. Takeaways People have different preferences and aspects of sex that they enjoy more than others. On the Xtended Version ...
