Dominic Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

Dom (another Dom!) struggles with how feels about sex. He only enjoys it when he's in love or has an emotional connection to the other person. His mates want causal sex all the time, but he doesn't feel the same way and isn't sure he can talk to them about this.

Yungblud and Dom chat about the million different ways people relate to sex, whether it's full of emotion or purely physical. And Yungblud busts out his favourite karaoke song.
