The Cliteral Truth Podcast

93. Screaming, Silence, and Sexual Authenticity

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2392973/fan_mail/new] Have you ever wondered why some people scream during orgasm while others barely make a sound? Is being loud during sex "performative," or is being quiet a sign of sexual shame? In this episode of The Cliteral Truth, we explore one of the internet's most searched questions about sex: Why am I quiet during sex? We challenge the idea that loud equals passionate and quiet equals disconnected. Instead, we propose that there are really two broad groups of people: * Those who experience sex from a place of sexual freedom. * Those who experience sex through sexual shame. Within the sexually liberated group, you'll find both naturally quiet and naturally vocal lovers. Some people simply don't express emotion loudly—in bed or anywhere else. But within the sexually shamed group, silence often comes from fear, embarrassment, conditioning, or worrying about being judged. Whether you're naturally quiet, enthusiastically vocal, or somewhere in between, this conversation is about removing shame—not prescribing a "right" way to experience pleasure. If you've ever asked yourself, "Is it normal to be quiet during sex?" or "Why can't I let go during orgasm?" this episode is for you.

92. Religious Dating v. The 7 Bridges of a Solid Relationship

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2392973/fan_mail/new] What happens when you're told who you're allowed to date before attraction, chemistry, compatibility, and connection ever get a vote? In this episode, we explore how religious and social conformity can short-circuit healthy partner selection. Through the lens of Mormon dating and the 7 Bridges of a Solid Relationship, we discuss why checkboxes, standards, and expectations often replace genuine attraction, emotional connection, and compatibility—and what happens when people build relationships without crossing the bridges first.

91. Content Compatibility: What It Reveals About Your Relationship

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2392973/fan_mail/new] You find a post that makes you laugh, a podcast that changes your perspective, or a book you can't stop thinking about. Who's the first person you want to share it with? In this episode, we explore Content Compatibility. We discuss why some partners become our favorite person to share life with (including our digital life), why others leave us feeling unseen, and what it means when you constantly find yourself taking your excitement somewhere else. If you've ever wondered whether your partner truly gets you, this conversation might reveal more than you think.

90. Why Are You So Stingy With Your Fucks?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2392973/fan_mail/new] "I don't have sex with just anybody." It's a phrase we hear all the time—but have you ever stopped to ask why? In this episode, we explore the difference between being genuinely selective and unconsciously following messages rooted in purity culture, slut shaming, fear, and social conditioning. Using the 5 Whys technique, we peel back the layers to uncover what's really driving our sexual decisions. We discuss why some women feel they need a committed relationship before sex, whether those beliefs are truly their own, and how to build a sex life based on personal desire rather than inherited rules. This isn't an argument for having more sex or less sex—it's about making conscious choices that align with who you are. If you've ever said, "I don't have sex with just anybody," this conversation might help you understand where that belief came from—and whether it still serves you. Topics: sexual freedom, purity culture, slut shaming, women's sexuality, dating, relationships, sexual empowerment, sexual standards, sex-positive living, and the 5 Whys.

89. The Next-Level Woman

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2392973/fan_mail/new] A year ago, we released an episode called The Next-Level Man. In this episode, we're turning our attention to women. We explore the traits, mindset, and relationship skills that separate a Next-Level Woman from the rest.  We discuss confidence, communication, emotional availability, assertiveness, and elf-awareness. We also tackle the behaviors that can quietly sabotage connection, dating success, and long-term partnership—and why many of the qualities found in a Next-Level Woman overlap with those of a Next-Level Man. Whether you're dating, in a relationship, or focused on personal growth, join us for a candid discussion on healthy relationships, emotional maturity, masculine and feminine energy, dating, attraction, and what it really means to level up.
