[00:00:00] You're listening to the sex with Dr. Jess podcast, sex and relationship advice. You can use tonight.

[00:00:13] Brandon Ware: Welcome to the sex with Dr. Jess podcast. And today we are about to head out on the desire cruise.

[00:00:21] Jess O'Reilly: That's right. We're hitting the Greek isles. We're hitting Turkey. You're going to make a cruise sound.

[00:00:26] Brandon Ware: No, I'm, I'm so much more mature than that.

[00:00:28] Brandon Ware: Don't you know me better?

[00:00:29] Jess O'Reilly: I can see you. Yeah. Yeah. Why does your boat sound like a donkey?

[00:00:34] Brandon Ware: I don't know. It just does.

[00:00:35] Jess O'Reilly: If I heard that sound, I'm not getting on the boat.

[00:00:37] Brandon Ware: Yeah. Okay.

[00:00:37] Jess O'Reilly: So, pretty excited. This is, I don't know. Is this our sixth Desire Cruise?

[00:00:41] Brandon Ware: I believe that it is.

[00:00:42] Jess O'Reilly: We've been on pretty much all of them except the ones over New Year's because that's our week off.

[00:01:16] Jess O'Reilly: Handful from India, 16 Brazilians, another handful of Colombians, around a hundred from Europe. When I kind of look, okay, that's the UK. They've exited. I did.

[00:01:29] Brandon Ware: I also did the German though, or maybe it was Austrian.

[00:01:31] Jess O'Reilly: Actually UK is a big contingent. I don't know why I didn't write them down, but there's a good number from the UK.

[00:01:36] Jess O'Reilly: Folks from New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, a nice contingent from. Central and South America. So I met Chileans, Costa Ricans, Ecuadorians, Venezuelans, a handful from Lebanon. I met a couple from Korea. And so, and there's, there's kind of a broad age range, right there. I think there might be a couple who are quite young in their twenties, but just like a handful of, let's be [00:02:00] honest, women.

[00:02:00] Jess O'Reilly: Yeah. I don't think there's any guys in their twenties, then a handful in their thirties, many in their forties. And then a bunch in their fifties and beyond. And so for me, there's just so much learning here because people ...
