E218 Got the Ick? Why It Happens in Relationships + What to Do About It pt. 2
You thought last week’s icks were bad? Buckle up, friend.
Because in Part 2, we’re getting into the next-level icks — the ones that make you question everything.
Like… oral sex immediately after intercourse. Or the dreaded dick flop. Or your partner’s casual approach to burping, farting, and forgetting what deodorant is.
These icks go way beyond open-mouth chewing.
We’re talking postpartum rage, peeing with the door open (or worse… the sound), and the surprisingly common hygiene habits that leave you wondering if love really can survive it all.
💛 Here’s what we’re serving up for you:
The hygiene ick that made one woman reconsider everything
Why flopping a penis around is not a valid form of initiation (seriously, stop)
Oral after sex: hot or gross?
Postpartum icks that no one warns you about
Peeing, poor aim, and other bathroom-related turn-offs
The financial icks that hit harder than expected
🎧 Basically, if you’ve ever looked at your partner and thought “ew”… this one’s for you. ‘Cause you know what? Sometimes laughing really is the best medicine.
