Brown Boi Love Ep. 2: Mama Knows Sex
And Mama knows best!
This week’s theme is all about sex, sex, sex. Our hosts Jeric and Robinick open up about some of their insecurities before, during, and after sexual encounters. They recount an underwater sextravaganza during a visit to Jeric’s motherland of Guahan, or Guam. It’s booties, thighs, chesticles galore! But they also strategize and scheme for how to work through the hard stuff, those moments when their sexual energies just aren’t aligned and when they’re not feeling our best selves. Pornhub playlists and steamy showers, all so that they can get to a place where they can really feel themselves—if you know what they mean! To end the festivities, they bring in a very special guest, Robinick’s mother, to talk about adobo, sexual pleasure, and showing up at Dad’s place of work to sign those marriage papers! Mama knows best? Now we’re getting somewhere. “He would always cruise to me!”
