In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign are asking a question women have been wondering for generations:
Have men ALWAYS been bad in bed?
From the rise of pornography and increasingly extreme sexual expectations to erectile dysfunction among younger men, they dig into why so many men seem to struggle with sexual communication, performance, and prioritizing women's pleasure. They also examine the orgasm gap, household labor inequality, and the ways patriarchal ideas about masculinity can make sex worse for everyone.
Together, they explore why so many men approach sex as a performance or conquest instead of a shared experience, how porn can distort expectations, and why women shouldn't have to settle for disappointing sex.
But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign unpack new court records surrounding the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni lawsuit, react to a viral video of a man condemning gay people only to accidentally reveal that he's bisexual, and discuss Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's plan to recruit gamers without college degrees as air traffic controllers.
Later, in Tea Or Trash, they discuss women openly expressing regret about motherhood, the science behind cycle syncing, and the impossible expectations placed on women to become the "do-it-all" woman.
