  • S2E1 - Jerusha's Burrito Date

    Originally from the small conservative town of Puyallup, Washington, Jerusha took her time exploring her sexuality during her adolescence. In her first year of high school, she dated a guy who she later found out was gay. There were also a few hesitant explorations into queer sex (bathroom sex, stolen kisses with a cheerleader) but she didn’t come out fully until college. Jerusha has some advice for anyone - gay, straight or anyone in between - who is looking to improve their game. One story includes getting hot and heavy with a potential mate and then realizing they weren’t compatible in bed - something we can all identify with! Finally, Jerusha has some solid tips for anyone dating and looking for love: be true to yourself and feel secure about your abilities and your boundaries.

    In this first episode of our second season, we unveil a new format that features an informal conversation with Dave and an in-studio guest that comes AFTER the featured interview. Join us, won’t you?

  • Episode 14 - “RealMenFullBush” Season One Finale with “SeattleDad” Jason

    Dave and co-host Jason (Twitter’s SeattleDad @RealMenFullBush) reflect on some memorable moments from different Season 1 interviews.

    But first, Dave interviews Jason about his career as a self-made porn impresario on Only Fans https://onlyfans.com/realmenfullbush

    You can listen to more of the interview on our Patreon site: https://www.patreon.com/posts/31756397

    After finding an audience on Tumblr and Twitter for his exhibitionist videos, Jason decided to start his own OnlyFans site. Now his very enthusiastic fans can subscribe to his videos directly and get their fill of Jason’s own unique brand of “soft dom daddy porn”. Jason talks about his path to self-made porn impresario and his frustrations with internet censorship (Tumblr’s recent censorship of adult content) as well as his life as an accomplished furniture designer and his history as a massage therapist and how it helped him be a better porn performer.

    Then the fun begins as Dave and Jason comment on different interviews from season one. Some of the different stories include:

    Jason’s first encounter cruising at a public park.

    Lee’s first crush at fat camp.

    Jerry’s famous hook up with a coked up Great Dane owner.

    Tyler’s obsession with a McDonald’s manager, boxer kinks and fun with a drumstick!

    George’s best move in bed.

    Gabe’s first times

    Sam’s reflections on identity and gender.

  • Episode 13 - “Getting to the Bottom of Things With Pete” and co-host Tyler

    Join Dave and guest co-host Tyler as they listen to Pete’s interview and get inspired to wade into the deep end (so to speak) and discuss the nitty gritty realities of bottoming. Be warned, this is not a conversation for those who are squeamish about butt stuff.

    Pete is from Lancaster County, PA and was teased early on for not knowing what a BJ was. It means you get pleasure from blowing on things, right? Isn’t that how the sex works? After experiencing a three-way with a guy and a girl from his high school theater class, Pete eventually landed solidly in the D column and ventured out on his own during college to a Boston gay bar where he met Alan, a less-than-patient top. Thankfully, he got the hang of things and now enjoys being a guest star with gay couples who like to play together.

    Tyler and Dave discuss Pete’s interview and their play-by-play game plan for having sex with both first time and experienced bottoms that make a pleasant experience for everyone involved.

    This week’s lunchtime poll: What’s the most unique placey you’ve ever had sex? Tweet or DM us at @fruitbowlpod and we will share your answers on our next show!

  • Episode 12 - “Jon Goes A-Camping” with co-host Mikey

    This episode’s Lunchtime Poll explores the single most important debate for our modern age: Is it “Yuck” or “Yum” when a partner shoves his or her tongue in your ear during sex. Leave it to Fruitbowl to ask the tough questions.

    What do you think? Tweet us your answer at @fruitbowlpod

    Join Dave and guest co-host Mikey as they dish about sex and this week’s featured interviewee, Jon.

    Jon grew up in Idaho and knew about sex at an early age. Fearing a paternity suit from his pillow, Jon eventually moved on to experiment with real people and discovered a high school friend also wanted to explore more than just nature during a weekend camping trip and, after a three year relationship with a woman failed to “cure” him, Jon decided to jump into the deep end of the D-pool.

    For his “Best Move,” Jon describes his unique ability to “read” his partners and find the things that turn them on. Our co-host Mikey can personally vouch for his skills. ;)

    Having survived abusive relationships, Jon has learned over the years that body positivity goes a long way in finding healthy relationships and avoiding toxic personalities who can prey on insecurities. He also has sage advice for young gays: lube, lube, lube.

  • Episode 11 - “Dolly Parton Made Ryan Gay” with co-host Pete

    Ryan’s queer tastes were first inspired by his mom’s obsession with Dolly Parton and her habit of re-watching The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, so it may come as no surprise that Burt Reynolds had a little something to do with his preference for hairy men. After his brother taught him to search for porn on the internet, Ryan eventually used OK Cupid to arrange his “first time” at a less-than-amazing hotel near downtown Seattle.

    Join Dave and co-host Pete as they talk about this episode’s Lunch Time Poll: What’s Your Favorite Position? Share your answers on our Twitter feed @fruitbowlpod! Dave and Pete also compare internet search strategies when it comes to porn. Also discussed: gay bars and the function they serve in queer communities; when to make yourself vulnerable when hooking up; masculinity vs. femininity in men.

  • Episode 10 - “Mikey’s Adventures with Whomp Whomp” with co-host Micah

    Q: What do foot fetishes and the Golden Girls have in common? Answer: Mikey, our interviewee for this week! Born and raised Catholic in Kansas, Mike had an eye opening introduction to sex by way of a eighth grade graduation field trip. After he moved to Seattle and came out, he wasted no time exploring the gay scene including an adventure with some foot fetish enthusiasts.

    Join Dave and guest co-host Micah as they share thoughts on Mikey’s interviews including reminiscing about their early TV crushes (Dave: CHiPs, Micah: Baywatch).

  • Episode 9 - "Roasting Scott" with co-host Gabe

    A small town boy, Scott explored his queer identity by watching straight porn and stealing the Playgirl centerfolds from his local bookstore. College provided more opportunities to explore sex with both genders, but once he moved to Seattle, he dove into the queer scene with his first three-way adventure. Join Dave and Scott’s good friend Gabriel as they talk about Scott’s interview. Plus, this week we introduce a new feature: our “Lunch Time Poll” (an homage to the movie HEATHERS!) This week our poll question is: “What’s in your bedside goodie drawer?” Send us your answers to our Twitter: @fruitbowlpod !
