“I never had a problem meeting women in my whole life. I’m not being modest…I had matchmakers telling me ‘hey, you’re a Beverly hills producer who comes from a great family and is intelligent, handsome…let me set you up’. But I didn’t want that, I wasn’t ready for that.” – David

Guest host (and general badass) Katherine Hofmeyr bravely takes the role of feminist policewoman to referee our discussion of feminism and how it relates to the sugar babies.

You can’t afford not to listen to this fiery conversation.Links and notes

Talking about sex can be awkward as hell. We discuss ways to ignite your love life, even as a ‘vanilla’ person within a committed, monogamous relationship.
Ruby describes what she does to prepare for her sugar daddy encounters. She also tells us about her sexual renaissance following the birth of her children, and how her new diet (Paleo and Whole30), gives her the energy she needs to satisfy two sugar daddies and FP, as well as running around after her kids.
