I'm pretty sure I started like rubbing on his dick in the cab on the way there. And then we were like making out a little bit and stuff and just feeling around. So anyways, it was like a ways. It was a ways away. But it was late at night, thankfully. So we get there. It's this super nice apartment building, you know, has the doorman and everything and locked and got to have a key card and a code and all this stuff
and fancy flowers in there. The following podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, medical, or any type of professional advice.

And tonight we're doing one of our favorite segments, Slut Diaries. And we were just sitting out in the hot tub, me and my hubby and producer, Socrates. Say hello, babe. Hey, y 'all. Hey. So we're just sitting in the hot tub and I was like, man, we're doing Slut Diaries tonight. And I was like, what story should I tell? And what did I say, babe? New York, New York, big city of dreams. So, man, this must have been 2016. Hold up, hold up. Before we get into that, what's going on with life?
You know, I want to start like. We don't need to get down to business every time. I do like to get down to business. What's been exciting recently? You don't have to get into too many details because it can be a slut diary story later, but what's been going on with you in your sexual journey recently that you can share with people that's helped you enjoy sex better or helped you mentally or emotionally or anything like that? Well, it's sexual, but it's like not
sexual. It can be taken many different directions. But I've realized recently that I really enjoy being blindfolded in a variety of situations. And so much so, like I wear an eye mask every single night when I sleep, if I take a nap. And during sex sometimes. So I enjoy it when Socrates will blindfold me. Sometimes he'll take me little places around the house and do things. But I think it just ultimately helps my brain relax and really enjoy the experience. Whereas I think
some people, that freaks them out. I totally get it. But for me, just like taking away one of the senses just helps me chill out. You know, where we've also done some things where I've had noise -canceling headphones on or headphones and play soft music and be blindfolded while doing some sexual things with softies. So I just really like that the sensory deprivation helps me to relax and to enjoy the experience more. Nice, nice, nice, nice. Tell me, then we'll get
on to your story, New York, New York. Tell me how that's helped you in just regular day, everyday life. Well, so much so I decided I'm probably going to carry a blindfold with me. And, you know, if I'm sitting somewhere, say I get to an appointment early, like 10 minutes early,
I'm going to set a timer. And I'm going to put a blindfold on and the soft music or maybe some affirmations and just give myself a brain break instead of sitting in the car scrolling TikTok for 10 minutes or going in and talking to people. Sometimes I just can take it as a midday decompression. And so that will help with my anxiety that I have. So that's how I think it'll it'll translate into everyday life as well. All right, New York.
So I think we talked, we definitely talked about 2017 in another episode, but we're dialing it back a year before that. I had just started traveling on my own. I basically was like, fuck it. Nobody's ready to go anywhere. Too much coordination with my friends. You know, of course I went. places with my children. But as a single mom, I was like, I just need to get out of here. And one of my clients had told me a story about how they
were preparing to retire. They had everything lined up, this beautiful home, and they were going to go travel. They had all these travel plans. And then they got hit by a drunk driver. And the husband was now wheelchair bound and she had a whole bunch of physical issues from it. And I was telling her like how I was planning to go and travel, you know, someday when, you
know, save up the money, all these things. And then she just took me by the hands and she looked at me with tears in her eyes and she said, sweetheart, don't wait. And so I had always wanted to go to New York City. So. I booked a plane ticket, like, the next day. And I just booked it, you know, back then I was pre -broke. So I had enough money, I booked the ticket. And then I booked it for a few months out, and then I, you know, hustled and did extra stuff and got an Airbnb
in downtown Manhattan. Beautiful place. Uh, I'll never do a three story up on the third floor. There was no elevator hauling my bag up there. So I, I fly into JFK is atrocious. Like the traffic, everything I'd never, I'd never been there. It never does the biggest city I've ever been to, you know, and I really hadn't been to anything too crazy before that LA a little bit, but not too much. So it's It is forever to get an Uber. I don't know what it said, like 45 minutes or
something. And I just didn't, I had no idea it would be that bad. So then I'm looking and it says like Uber Black, you know, so it's like a Cadillac Escalade will come get you and this whole thing. Well, it was like double the price, but it was like 10 minutes. So I was like, heck yeah, like time is money, right? And I wanted
to get to my Airbnb. And it was probably some stupid time like rush hour on a Friday or something crazy because it took like two hours at least, I think, to get from JFK to downtown Manhattan. And then I get there and it was a nice guy that had the Airbnb. We each had our own bedroom and our own bathroom and it was beautiful. It was a beautiful apartment. Super nice guy. I can't remember where he said he was from, but African
guy. And he had lots of great tips. And no, I'll just spoiler alert, I did not hook up with him. So that's not where the story is going. No, just a super nice guy. I think he likes thinner women because I was showing him some pictures of my friends. And he's like, oh, next time bring your friends. And I was like, I see where you're going. To each his own, right? So for fun, I was like, let me get on the dating apps. So I'm pretty sure I just got on Tinder while I was there.
And I was like, let's see what the big city has to offer. Like, you know, from where I'm from, it's not very diverse. So I'm like, okay, this will be awesome because there's just every shade of the rainbow out there. So I was really excited. I swipe and I am just like overwhelmed. There is like every guy on there is hot. And I'm just like, are these all just like models or like what's going on? And as you know, I prefer black men and was no different at that time. And so,
man, I'm just swiping. I'm matching with like every guy. And I'm just like, what is going on? You know, as most ladies know that have been on those apps, you kind of just got to weed through people. Some people in media are like, what the fuck, you know, and all that. And I wasn't, I wasn't quite ready to go for that, but I was just wanting to have an adventure. So I talked to like a few guys, some of them, the logistics
just didn't work out. Well, there was a guy, um, I'm just say his name because it's like, who cares? It's like, there's probably a thousand Vincents in New York city, but his name was Vincent. He's like, OK, so we talked for like a couple of days and he's like, what day are you free? I can't remember which day I was there for like four or five days in New York City. And so we picked a day. I think it was on the weekend. And he's like, meet me at this one bar. And it
was like a rooftop bar. So it was super cool. I was like looking at the city like this guy knew what he was doing. But I didn't I didn't ask him how tall he was. So, and height doesn't matter. I just like to know ahead of time. So if I'm looking for a short king or a tall king. But he was probably about 5 '6". And I am 5 '8 without heels. And I wore heels that night. So it was whatever. Didn't bother him. I just took me a second and then I just, you know, rolled
on through. Nice conversation. Nice place. Paid for everything. You know, our drinks. And... He just told me to, you know, do you trust me to plan the date for the evening? I said, yeah, don't live here. Like, sure, go for it. So we met at the rooftop bar, had a couple drinks, look over the city. And then he's like, okay, are you ready? And there was people eating there. So I thought, oh, we're going to eat here, you know. He's like, nope, nope, we're going somewhere
else to eat. And I was like, all right. So we got a cab and then we go to this place called Eataly. Have you heard of it, babe? Okay, so it's a market, like an Italian market, and right in the middle of the market is a restaurant. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's like you're just sitting in the middle of everything. It's super cool. Yeah. And so we got a bunch of weird food that now I know is just glorified charcuterie. At the time, I was like, what is all this weird
food? But it was charcuterie. It was prosciutto, right? So I can't even say it. All these cheeses and things. And I was like, that's kind of weird. Like I would rather just had a steak, but I wasn't going to complain, right? I'm going on a free date. So it was like, I feel like we just ate appetizers or something, but apparently it was supposed to be a whole meal. And it was like $275. And the drinks were like a hundred and something. And this guy is just like peeling
out the cash, like no big deal. I'm like, all right, whatever, you know. And then he's like, do you want to go do the next thing? And I was like, there's a next thing? This is awesome. So we go to the meatpacking district. And we go to this little underground salsa club. And it was just packed with people. And it was super dark and super hot and sweaty. But, like, it
was so fun. it didn't even matter that I wasn't a good dancer like guys would just grab you spin you around like just do the whole thing it was so fun so we had a ton of fun there and by the end of it I'm like oh this is awesome like we are three for three on good things and then um he's like okay he's like are you I'm getting kind of tired you ready to go and it was like two or three in the morning by that point and I'm like sure yeah so we go to leave and Then
he's like, well, where do you want to go? And I was like, oh, I thought you were planning the date. So like, what are we doing now? And he's like, well, I'd like to take you back. And, you know, they always say, show me the apartment. Like, we don't care what your apartment looks like. And then I'm pretty sure I started like rubbing on his dick in the cab on the way there. And then we were like making out a little bit and stuff and just feeling around. So anyways,
it was like a ways. It was a ways away. But it was late at night, thankfully. So we get there. It's this super nice apartment building, you know, has the doorman and everything and locked and got to have a key card and a code and all this stuff and fancy flowers in the foyer. I had brought a little spending night purse just in case because, you know, I was like, I don't know how this is going to go. So I was ready for whatever. And we go upstairs and it's a super
nice apartment. Like all these glass windows, like some you see out of the movies, but not quite so big. It wasn't huge. It was like a one bedroom, one bathroom, living room, kitchen, but lots. But his bed wasn't put together. It was like a mattress and box spring. And then the pieces were like, he's like, I just got my bed. He's like, I just moved in here. And I was like, oh, OK, well, that makes sense. No big deal. You know, I met I've met lots of guys just
moved in places. It's not a big deal. So I go and I use the restroom. I'm like, oh, this place pretty clean. It should be. You just moved in. Right. And go back in the bedroom and. We start messing around, take our clothes off and all the things. And I, well, he, I'm pretty sure he went down on me at that point. And then, you know, then I was like sucking his dick and just doing all things, but he just like, wasn't getting
hard. And I was like, okay, well maybe like, it's because he did drink, but I was like, not that much, like two. I was like, and this is when I was pretty new to the whole life. So I
wasn't used to. especially just like one night stand things like guys not getting hard because usually by that point they're like ready to go because it's been a while or you know if you're just prowling the bars um so I keep trying to work on it you know help him out whatever and then he just starts crying and I was like okay Well, slow down now. What kind of crying are we talking about? Are we talking about boo -hoo? Like, are we talking about a little teardrop
fell on the edge of his eye? Like, what are we talking? No, like boo -hoo. Like sobbing. He just starts sniffing. And first I was like, oh, just kind of like sneeze or something. And then he starts, no, like crying, like boo -hooing.
And I said, um, are you okay? I was like did I hurt you or something and he's like no and so I kind of just leave it alone and I crawl up next to him and he like buries his face in my chest and is just sobbing and he's like I'm really sorry I think I'm just having trouble and I was like that's fine you know I've heard these things can happen because I think that was like my first time having an experience like that and he's like I said, well, you know, sometimes
we all have trouble. He's like, I just can't get my mind right. We had such a good night. You know, I said, yeah, we did. We had a great night. And he's like, I think the problem is, is that it's my ex -wife's birthday. And I miss her so much. Okay. What do you think of that? Was he crying and saying this at the same time? Yeah. Sobbing into my chest. And I don't even know if they were divorced yet because it's like he just moved in that apartment, right? So I
think, you know, it was fresh. And I was like, and you know what? I'll tell another story another day, but that is not the first time that a guy. cried during sex and I'm not shaming it at all but I'm just like sometimes you just don't know like what people are going through you know and although it's very awkward I just tried really hard not to like make it any worse right so then he kind of you know gets it out and calms himself down And he's like, okay, well, I just want to
try again. And I'm like, I'm not in the mood at this point. But I'm kind of like, well, whatever. And I think to myself, this is going to be a good story for the girls. So I just keep doing whatever. So I end up, and you know, babe, before I got my boob job, I didn't really have a lot of boobs. But somehow I titty fucked this man. And he just came on my boobs. And then that was like it. And then he leaves the room and I'm just laying there with his jizz all over my chest.
Like, what the fuck am I doing? Like, what the fuck am I doing? And he goes out to the living room and then I immediately pick up my phone and I text my two best girls at the time. Mallory, which you guys have heard about in another episode. And then this other girl will call her Jennifer. And I'm just like telling them what's going on. And they're like. And I'm like, I don't know what to do. Like, I feel awkward as fuck. I have jizz on my chest. Like, what should I? He went
in the other room. I don't know, like, what he's doing. I don't know what to say. This is just so, I've never been in this situation. And they're like, just get up and leave, bitch. And I'm like, oh, okay, yeah. But I just didn't know what was going to happen, right? I didn't think he was going to get mad or anything. I was just like, I don't want to have that. Oh, that was great
conversation. But thankfully when I got up and like went to the bathroom to clean up, he was on the couch, which is a buck ass naked, like passed out, just passed out. And so I was like, Oh sweet. So I like hurried, went in the bathroom, like cleaned up. And then I just put on my little pajamas that I had brought like these little short shorts and a little tank top. Right. And then shoved it, my shoes and everything. No, I think I had my shoes in my hand, you know,
typical. run of shame is what I would call this and I was like I just gotta get out of here because I don't want him to wake up and I called an Uber on my phone and then I go downstairs and the door guy was like oh and I said don't ask don't ask and he's like have a good night and he's like do you have a safe ride home he was like really nice I said yeah the Uber's coming to get me so the best part was that When I left and got in the Uber, it was that Uber driver's
first night ever driving Uber. And I told him the entire story. And then he just was like, this is wow. Is this what every night driving Uber is going to be like? Oh, I don't know. So it was pretty funny. But then I think right when I got in the Uber, like he woke up and he started texting me. Where'd you go? Why'd you leave? And I was just like, I'm just really tired. I'm going to go back to my Airbnb. He's like, okay, well maybe we can have a picnic tomorrow and
I'll make it up to you. He's like, I'd like to do that since it's my ex -wife's birthday. I want to do something fun and not think about her. And I was like. I am not going on a picnic with you. But I probably just told him some bullshit, like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the next day, tomorrow, whatever, I got too busy, magically, mysteriously, and just blew him off because I was like, this is too weird. I'm sorry you're going through this with your ex -wife, but, like,
it was too weird for me. I couldn't do it. Have you ever had anything super weird like that happen? I feel like you have some sort of slut story. along those lines no nothing weird ever happened to you like I don't know just married women hitting on me or something like that besides that no oh that's boring yeah I don't have a lot of weird stories I really don't I guess I'm fortunate I don't have a lot of weird or like Horror stories when it comes to sex. Yeah, I'm glad. Maybe men
are just a little bit. I don't know how many guys I've heard tell me anything bad because guys don't want to seem like they complain about it because then they're really not getting it from the female community. I don't know. But women, we tell each other all the stories. If it's good, if it's really good, a lot of times in those days, I would not. tell people, I would just be like, oh, it's really good. But if it was bad, oh, you're getting all the details.
Especially if it was your man. You weren't, like, telling everything about it. Why not? Because that was, like, your man, and then you weren't gonna, like, tell other bitches about him. Why not? Because that's mine. What's gonna happen? I wanna dig deep into this mystery that women... Like, I've heard this over and over and over. If he's bad, oh, we're going to tell you everything. But the better he is, the least information.
Because their women aren't really that excited because they're like, oh, that's your man and, like, that's cool for you. They almost get jealous. But you tell a bad story, they're like, yeah, bitch, I've been there. Like, fuck men. You know? Whatever. Like, there's some camaraderie in that. And then in the good stories, they're like, fuck you, bitch. You got a good guy. He takes care of you. Or the classic, does he have a brother comment? Stuff like that. So that was New York
City. I also went to the Museum of Sex while I was there. And that was very eye -opening. I went with a woman that I met online at, it was a group called The Woman Hole on Facebook and they tell lots of crazy sexual stories. And so she was on there and she's like, I live in New York City. I said, I'd love to meet up for lunch. And she's like, yeah, let's go to the
Museum of Sex. So that's really interesting because it has like all the birth control contraptions, all different kinds of sex toys through the ages.
um like drawn pornography I guess and then books from like old novels and stuff and then just talks about you know animals versus humans and their sex lives and all kinds of interesting things and then there's even a bounce house that has a bunch of inflatable boobs in it and you can bounce around in inflatable booby world which we did not do because it was extra And I was like, eh, that's fine. We peeked in there at people bouncing around on the boobs. New York
City was really fun. But that was the only guy. After that, I was like, that's a good enough story. Now, if I went, like, nowadays and was single, I would be a lot more crazy than that, I think. I'd try to have a new guy every night or something. But I was tired. I was tired from walking around and... Doing all the things and riding a bike all around the city. So by the time every day was over, I was just ready to
go to bed. But it was fun. I always would try to mix in some slut time whenever I would travel. Just always be open to something happening. Either meeting a random stranger at a bar or a restaurant. And I don't think there was any trips. I don't think there was any trips I took where I didn't hook up with someone, though. I think every single time, no matter where I went, either someone off of an app or just meeting someone somewhere randomly. It was fun. It was a good time. I recommend
it. I recommend it. All right. You ready for our hitter? Sure. What did you do to not let all of that sexual activity, like, be harmful to your mental health? Harmful? Mm -hmm. It was helpful. Okay. Why was it helpful? Because a lot of my friends that were single, well, Jennifer and Mallory were on the ho train with me, so it was fine. Mallory, probably the least. But me and Jennifer, every year we would like sit down and like be like, let's write down the names
of all the guys. And then we would jokingly give out a little ho crown. We did this for like two or three years. So her and I were always battling. But anybody else that we knew that was like trying to like wait and have a relationship and only sleep with people when it was meaningful. Like
they all just seemed like really. cranky and depressed and frustrated all the time and that's all they ever talked about is how they were frustrated with men and me Mallory and Jennifer we would tell the guy stories but we would just laugh and move on because we were just out to have fun and just interact with men in whatever capacity if some of them we ended up going on a few dates some of them we never went on a date some people it was a one -night stand you know some people
we hooked up with a few times But we always got really good stories out of it. Either funny or, like, awkward or mostly funny. Or some really good ones. Like, this one guy was like, his body felt like melted butter. And so they still say stuff like that to me. Like, what about that one guy? It was like butter. So, you know, just little things like that. Or we'd go to a music festival. We were always just like living our
life. So to me, like being a hoe was like better for my mental health because it was, I think that I was doing it with the girls too. Like not at the same time, like even though we were in the same hotel room a few different times. Um, but because we were all out there being hoes and we were all older, uh, divorced women. I think that was a big thing. Like we were in our mid thirties, divorced, kind of same place in
life. And then we were all just like encouraging each other to just go be the biggest toes we wanted to be. And then we would meet up on like a weekday or whatever. We were always together and we would always get together and like talk about what we did or, oh, did you end up going home with that guy? Or like, you know, so -and -so. Jennifer was kind of working her way through
some of the football. guys in our community um which ironically I never muddied in those waters except for one dude so which is kind of weird for me I thought that would be a good place to you know get some dudes but anyways I'll let Jennifer have that genre um yeah so I think it was good for our mental health because we were just having the time of our lives and sharing those experiences with each other so I never, ever, ever thought of it as something I had to
protect myself from. It just felt good. I can't wait. I love the slut diaries and I can't wait for the next one. I need to start writing down. some of the ideas for the stories. If you ladies listening have any good slut stories that you want to come on here and do the diaries of an ethical slut, send us an email at the siren of freedom at gmail .com. And we would love to have
you on. You can be anonymous. You know, if you've been listening, you know, we use fake names, but we'd love to hear your stories and like. whatever has happened to you at whatever phase of life that you were a hoe. We'd love to hear the hoe stories. So I've got a question. You're a good reader. What if they don't really want to even be on the show, but you read some stories that they might send in? Would you be willing to do that? Oh, yeah. I think that's a great
idea. I think that would be dope. Yeah, or if they have... questions or maybe they want to hear a story on a certain topic i probably have something but yeah if they want to write their story down um that would be dope let's do it send in your host stories have a good night Your support is what helps us continue to sound the alarm of freedom.
