Christina:
And That I’m Christina! And this is a podcast that I forgot the intro to currently.
Drew:
Which is ok! It’s been a little while.
Christina:
Woohoo, it has.
Drew:
That is
Wait, Is It a night out together?
Christina:
Yes, that podcast.
Drew:
We’ll analysis part. Welcome to
Hold off, So Is This a night out together?
An Autostraddle podcast everything about sex and online dating as queer individuals with queer men and women, ideally. How, exactly how in the morning I undertaking?
Christina:
No, i believe you’re crushing it. In my opinion what is actually truly exciting about this event is it is the mailbag episode where we’ll end up being getting questions from you, the listeners. A bunch of you submitted sound memos and e-mails, and we possess content material as well as the concerns and hopefully the solutions, but like, I, I am not gonna say anything too crazy. I really don’t want to get too outlandish, you realize?
Drew:
Yeah. We’re questioning along. Should we â i am talking about, this probably isn’t some people’s very first occurrence, however in case folks missed you, you are sure that, introducing ourselves, maybe that’s a person’s favored an element of the podcast. And so I think we ought to present our selves.
Christina:
Yeah, completely.
Drew:
Okay, cool. We’ll go initial. I am Drew Gregory. I’m a writer and a filmmaker and a queer individual. I still determine as a lesbian, but i have been utilizing that word less, and that is possibly something which I’m able to unpack on the next event. I nevertheless was a lesbian, but I also was want, so what does that even mean? You are aware? I don’t know. Tags tend to be funny, but i am fairly positive that i am an author. I’m pretty confident that I am a filmmaker. Uh, how about you?
Christina:
Yeah. Uh, i will be Christina Tucker, a writer at Autostraddle in addition. I’m also a queer individual. I began in fact using “queer” more while I very first was released nowadays I use lesbian possibly just as. I’m also very, i recently style of utilize whatever term feels correct, taken from my personal lips for the minute. And I you should not think regarding it so much more than that. But that is a journey we’re all on, honestly.
Drew:
I help that. I do think that sums right up exactly who our company is, that i am love, “i’ll must review this later on.” And you are like, “i recently type of do everything I think plus don’t must consider about it.”
Christina:
We very actually find the phrase that actually works perfect for the little bit, soâ¦
Drew:
Well, yeah. In order you stated, this really is our very own mailbag event. Should we simply get into the first â oh, In addition like to say before we start that in the event that you sent all of us a question therefore we don’t get to it, it will be because there had been specific factors that have been like, oh, I would like to unpack this on another full episode, maybe with an unique visitor that would be much more, you know, possibly a lot more qualified to respond to it. Therefore We actually appreciate all the questionsâ
Christina:
All of you sent countless concerns, which was cool, but we might n’t have time and energy to get to every one ones.
Drew:
Yeah. Even so they happened to be all look over.
Christina:
As well as some of you just delivered us comments without questions.
Drew:
And, you are aware, typically with â if this was a Q&A before or after a motion picture, it’d resemble, you shouldn’t praise anyone. There’s a complete audience right here, but also for this, truly the only audience had been Christina and I and Lauren. And seriously, compliments, fantastic. Many thanks so much. Really, very nice.
Christina:
Thrilling to receive, truly among my personal primary meals teams.
Drew:
Very yeah, let’s start off with the very first concern. During the voice memo, the individual states that they’re semi-closeted, so we’re gonna abandon names in order to end up being secure here. And let us tune in to this question.
Anonymous Asker:
Making this originating from someone who has no experience with matchmaking at all, largely because I’m semi-closeted and residing in the primarily conventional boonies. As I graduate senior school, I’m leaving this one and so I have a taste of liberty. And that I’m recognizing that i will end up being going into the queer relationship realm. This might be an extremely simple question, but how would I ask a lady out the very first time without slipping into a full on panic attack? As possible tell, i am very bad at talking to individuals.
Drew:
This is certainly an age old, age old concern. Truly.
Christina:
It is. We really think it is the reason we have a podcast.
Drew:
Yeah. I mean, personally i think like we sort of know in which I’m going to go with this, basically like, it’s about acknowledging the fact that no one’s proficient at this? I am talking about, perhaps individuals fundamentally get good at it since you get it done sufficient and also you type of lose the â what’s it â the visibility therapy or whatever â but like, it is some of those situations for which you simply do it and it gets easier. And myself, even before I came out â I mean, to clear up, I found myself inquiring girls out before I came out as a result of the whole being a trans person thing. And when i believe regarding start of when I remaining my bad small town and went to college and was truly asking individuals out, I absolutely took a really direct approach and extremely ended up being love, “Hello, want to carry on a romantic date?” And that I think throughout the years, I moved from the that slightly. But I truthfully still, I nonetheless believe often it’s great just to be direct and inquire some one out, while get an obvious solution. After all, you might carry out the thing the place you only begin unclear and inquire people to go out and you just, you understand, perform a,
Hold off, Is It a night out together
online game for a long time.
Christina:
Correct. Fingers crossed, I hope that message comes across. I additionally think in a scenario, like for me, when I started dating, when I was actually queer relationship, I became out-of college, way out of my personal home town, but I found myself doing some dating via apps and therefore does reduce the awkwardness since it is like, everyone knows everything we’re right here for. Although i believe there are certainly drawbacks to the online dating application, like the majority of things in daily life, i really do believe that method of removing that barrier of like, oh no, how uncomfortable is this going to be? Like, could it be going to be like, no, it is, that’s what this might be for the system the place you have come to. Following as soon as you, once you result in the hangout ask, it will fundamentally realize that it really is a romantic date for the reason that it’s why we’re all here. Vibing.
Drew:
Which is an excellent point.
Christina:
I mean, i really do recognize that really â like this feeling of want, “Oh no, that is will be very awkward because I’m thus embarrassing.” But in all honesty the times You will find thought awesome awkward, frankly, most people are similar to, which was pleasant. Very don’t think concerning your awkwardness merely in love, that is shameful and everyone detests me personally. Folks could be like, that’s uncomfortable, but it’s particular precious. And I also do want to carry on a date along with you. A couple of things is generally genuine. I think which is gorgeous.
Drew:
Very true. Yeah. Yeah. In my opinion we’ve this notion that if you ask somebody
Christina:
There are many brands of hot.
Drew:
Yeah.
Christina:
Wow. Which Is really beautiful.
Drew:
Great. Really, let us move on to the following question that’s via Claire from Australia.
Claire:
Hey, I liked experiencing all of you from here in Queensland, Australia, along with a question for each people actually. Christina, what exactly is this non-transferable lip lining which you use on a primary day, and in which should I buy it? And Drew, your own website is a bit more challenging. How will you understand when you should hear the tough thoughts that can come right up during a non-monogamous scenario once to focus through them?
Christina:
Wow. I enjoy that I get a lip and also you have tough feelings. In my opinion which is a truly breathtaking. I am going to go 1st and give you sometime to consider the tough emotions. Generally there’s multiple versions of a non-transferable lip. When I was at my personal young people back in the old mid-aughts, when everyone was just hooked on wearing a matte lip stick, I did countless, like, Stila mattes are very non-transferable. But discover the fact i am getting older. My epidermis is getting drier. I can’t be putting on a matte lip that way rather than having a dried
Drew:
Heavy emotions in non-monogamous connections. Wow. Yeah. Thus an enjoyable thing that occurred inside hiatus that individuals’ve had thus far is that You will find a girlfriend now.
Christina:
She’s amazing!
Drew:
Yeah. I am truly, really pleased. Im simply, I feel like each day type of finding out new meanings of exactly what relationships and really love and sex tends to be, and just have not already been anywhere near this much of an enchanting since I have was at senior school therefore had been all theoretical. Therefore, I’m very happy, like to share that. I will be love, ok. Additionally what will happen when you’re, you know, in a relationship you value in the place of, you know, just having hookups and fillings and things, is you are also examining much more with your limits as well as your lover’s limits in terms of that which you explore. And appearance, all of this might be stuff that I didn’t show. And that I just moved in to the concern and was unclear, but this really is my personal version of being available when you’re similar, outlining like certain the explanation why i would end up being vague on podcast advancing, because i really do believe actually it is necessary within our parasocial connections we now have with individuals just who compose or those who have podcasts that like, I don’t know, to share these matters, to generally share like how I choose my personal limits, specifically as somebody who produces and covers sex extremely graphically. Anyways, so all that as a preamble to the concernâ
Christina:
Context is king. That is what we are constantly stating.
Drew:
That is to declare that like, i am talking about, in such a way, like I’m, i am during my first union, like as an individual who’s open about getting non-monogamous and navigating can et cetera. And I also believe simply speaking normally, like every relationship is actually its own talk. And with the individuals who are where connection, every person delivers goals and brings things that are like beliefs in to the commitment, also, tends to make compromises and has talks and â or does not, and then that’s your personal type of that. Correct? And so I think it is type of a frustrating response, but it is kind of similar, you need to both talk to your self and consult with your lover or associates, and determine kind of, you are aware, what is essential for you, you know, if you are a person who’s monogamous while begin matchmaking a person that’s non-monogamous, is that one thing you can aquire familiar with? Are there specific things which make you comfortable? Can it be more content for you personally when your partner shacks up with some one you all learn and it’s really casual and it’s really any, or do you actually, can it be much more comfortable if they have various other relationships, nonetheless’re maybe not around you after all? Or as with any these â there’s countless strategies to have non-monogamous interactions. And I have no idea if you should be inquiring this from perspective of somebody who’s very complimentary in non-monogamy and is also possibly dating a person that isn’t really, or the other way around. But I think that is frequently a â i will not actually state a conflict, it’s simply part of being non-monogamous, In my opinion, is people have actually different relationships to non-monogamy.
Christina:
Yeah.
Drew:
For me, I could date an individual who had a number of partners. But typically with non-monogamy, my personal ideal is always to big date some one in which I’m their particular companion, and we are not monogamous. Easily were currently some one, which can ben’t the current situation that i am in, where I became online dating someone who wished to have several partners, I would need to be like, okay, just what are my personal feelings about any of it person? Just what are my emotions about how exactly this person interacts? Carry out i believe that that could be something which can work personally? And figure that out. And so you’ll find connection dynamics i possibly could be in where i am on one end and where I’m on the other end. And I also believe that merely demonstrates that like, it’s simply pertaining to determining if individual you’re online dating â one, whether your thoughts for them tend to be sufficiently strong that it is worth it, but also if you are suitable sufficient inside needs it may operate, because sometimes you truly like some one in addition they like you, or you really love some body as well as really love you, also it only doesn’t work completely in what you both wish from a relationship. And that’s unfortunate, but it is additionally just the instance. So whether to get results through difficult thoughts is definitely probably going to be case by case. And I also believe that additionally, it is extremely determined by communication types, as if you’ve got great interaction together with the individual or men and women you’re internet dating, possible sort out a lot more than any time you find it hard to communicate. So those are my rambling applying for grants this thing that In my opinion about a large amount.
Christina:
I would like audience to understand that this is the reason I get six-minute vocals memos from Drew. Though in fairness, she’s got not delivered me a six-minute vocals memo in a very while.
Drew:
It’s been a number of years.
Christina:
But that’s often the power. And I perform feel i recently talked one into life. I can’t wait for after that few days.
Drew:
Do you really believe it is because I’m in a relationship?
Christina:
I understand that it’s.
Drew:
I’m feeling vulnerable about that now. Yeah. Now I am love, was we a negative friend now that I’m in a relationship?
Christina:
In my opinion it’s okay and delightful and wonderful and great. And I also’m not exactly clamoring for more six-minute sound memos.
Drew:
I’m going to send you a six-minute vocals memo about my personal union. Would that end up being enjoyable? Would that be a great thing for you really to have?
Christina:
I am talking about, yes, naturally it would. You are my friend.
Drew:
Thank you. Okay. Shifting.
Christina:
Shifting.
Drew:
Let us see. This sound memo is actually from Julia.
Julia:
Hey Received. Hey Christina. Here’s my personal question for y’all. In the event that you may have any fictional queer personality about pod, that would it is and just what internet dating topic would you go over? Many thanks for having these Qs! Bye!
Christina:
This is certainly this type of a great question.
Drew:
This is certainly a fantastic question. My â honestly, and not to get extremely Autostraddle about it, but my instinct effect was like, I would like a second period this is certainly a lay down with every major character of
The L Word.
And just as similar, “what is actually completely wrong to you?”
Drew:
Yeah. Okay. Therefore I’ve already been producing a concerted energy both in my personal mind and my authorship, to speak about
The L Keyword
less, because i am like, there’s really other stuff online and like, it is enjoyable that we have this common vocabulary, {but also|but additionally|
