This week's conversation begins with a discussion of a bizarre dream involving a psychotherapist, leading to an extended reflection on how people process embarrassment, sexual taboos, and personal boundaries. The hosts debate how different individuals react to unexpected sexual situations and whether certain behaviors are perceived as threatening or simply absurd. This leads to a broader examination of the way people handle personal shame, discomfort, and social norms in sexual contexts. The discussion shifts to personal anecdotes and listener questions, including the challenges of maintaining sexual attraction in long-term relationships. One listener writes in about their wife pushing them to see a sex therapist, prompting a debate on whether sexual desire can be "fixed" and what role therapy actually plays in these situations. The hosts analyze how attraction fluctuates over time, how rejection impacts relationships, and whether sexual routines inevitably deteriorate. They also touch on how external stressors, personal insecurities, and communication failures contribute to sexual dissatisfaction. Later, we examine the psychological and logistical dynamics of group sex, particularly in swinger and threesome scenarios. A listener recounts an experience where a foursome led to unexpected emotional fallout, sparking a conversation on male performance anxiety, jealousy, and the gendered differences in how people navigate group encounters. They also consider how porn, societal conditioning, and personal expectations shape the way men and women experience these situations. The topic extends into a broader exploration of how individuals negotiate sexual experimentation and what factors make certain dynamics appealing or overwhelming. The episode concludes with a discussion about a young couple struggling with orgasm difficulties, raising questions about the impact of habitual masturbation, communication in early relationships, and the effects of pornography on sexual performance. The hosts consider how societal messaging around male sexual function affects self-esteem and expectations in new relationships. They also explore whether behavioral changes, such as abstaining from solo sex, could help reset physical responses. Twitter: @ymmvpod Facebook: ymmvpod Email: ymmvpod@gmail.com

Guest: Cassey Chambers | Operations Manager at South African Depression and Anxiety Group In the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, mental health is one of the greatest casualties of the universalization of insecurity, uncertainty, hunger and hopelessness. The numbers tell us that suicide has reached record rates in South Africa. The empty space left by the people whos lives have been stolen - and the tragedy felt by those that are left behind - is where that reality exists. Cassey Chambers is The NGO, the South African Depression and Anxiety Group. She will discuss the South African context, the particular symptoms of the tragedy that our society faces, the potential causes and hopeful solutions.

Depression is WEIRD. It's a much weirder disease than you expect it to be. Which is why, if it starts sneaking up on you in your teen years or your 20s, it can be hard to even recognise what it is, let alone know what you're supposed to do about it. So here's your handy-dandy guide to depression (and its best friend, anxiety), and what to do if you or a friend are struggling. This episode features interviews with Kentse Radebe, Executive Director of the South African College of Applied Psychology Foundation; and Limpho, a 20something from Cape Town who's managed depression since she was a teen.
