As you now know from the last time I recapped the show, I run a monthly storytelling show called SUNDAY NIGHT SEX TALKS at Bar Lubitsch in West Hollywood. Think of it like The Moth, except all the topics have to do with sex, love and relationships.
This month’s edition of the series recaps lessons learned during our 2nd Birthday Bash! I’m proud to say that #SNSTalks has survived two full years incredible performances, raucous crowds, and zero men (except for that one time, but that’s a longer story). I’m even more proud to announce that we’re finally taking the show on the road! First stop is NYC for a January 5th performance (details to come), and we’ll see how things roll out after that.
For now, another LA show reflection post. Like last time, names are concealed and stories are paraphrased to protect the brave performers who tell all at each show. We’re really not kidding about this privacy policy thing, which is why you hear some pretty incredible tales at our little show.
- Do not shit where you eat, but if you must, don’t do it with your boss.
- Try not to date poets, but if you accidentally do, NEVER go to their poetry reading…the day after you sleep with them for the first time.
- 22-year-olds are like alien creatures to anyone over the age of 28. Remember this when you meet a very, very attractive one at a music festival.
- “Whiskey Slap” is a “drinking game” in which you take a shot of whiskey then slap the person you’re playing with really hard across the face. Then it’s their turn, and they do the same to you. You’ll be really happy you know that if you happen to come across a very, very attractive 22-year-old at a music festival.
- The fact that a guy doesn’t have a lot of ex girlfriends is great. The reason for that being a long-ish stint in prison during his 20s is not.
- “I’m starting my own hot sauce company” isn’t the kind of entrepreneurial spirit you should be looking to date if you’re over the age of 25.
- Always wear a helmet when riding a Vespa.
- Mrs. Robinson, as is Anne Bancroft’s character in The Graduate is a very sad woman. Remember that when it comes time to define your sexual goals and relationship desires.
- If you “fall out of love” with the 17-year-old love of your life, don’t go looking for the deep, meaningful reasons why it all went wrong. The answer is, you are 17, and that same answer applies to every single age prior to your late 20s.
- If a man ever refers to any sexual experience as “breakfast” – run.

Gah I wish there was a podcast or something! I feel it would be so awesome.
My current bfnd has very few exgirlfriends…one in fact. A girl he dated for a few months and then that’s it. I’d say I’d prefer to have a guy who has had a few too many than a few too few. But perhaps that’s just me.
