Intimacy Coordinator

This week Joel Kim Booster brings in a real specialist, as anal surgeon Dr. Evan Goldstein (Bespoke Surgical, Butt Seriously) joins Zach Noe Towers (Twink Death, Good Sod) and Brendan Scannell (Bonding, The Abyss) for a full hour on bottoming. Zach tells the story of getting examined by a handsome older doctor and his even hotter doctor in training, and Dr. Goldstein breaks down the three types of bottoms and what’s actually true about fiber supplements, what’s in your lube, and safe douching. Then the panel gets into butt plugs versus anal dilators, Botox in the booty, why a direct hit on the prostate can make you feel like you have to pee, and what straight couples should know before pegging.

This week gets spirited as Joel Kim Booster is joined by Adam Conover (Adam Ruins Everything, Big Divorce Energy), Dewayne Perkins, (The Studio, The Blackening) and relationship coach and author, Allison Raskin (Compulsively Yours, I Do (I Think)). They confess all the ways they’ve been nightmares to date—from Allison staking out a guy's apartment behind a frat house, to Joel blaming every unanswered text on a man's "text rhythm”—before getting into a lively debate on whether or not you should date with a goal in mind, and the morality of ghosting. Plus, a listener asks whether testing her new boyfriend counts as due diligence or sabotage.

It’s time to dip back into the archives for another Background Check! Skyler Higley was on Intimacy Coordinator this week, so we’re throwing back to the classic Bad Date story he told Joel and fellow guests Punkie Johnson and Josh Gondelman. Skyler finds himself in expert mode, but he’s more quickly than Higley. Enjoy this tale of Mormons, cigarettes, and Target parking lots, and don’t miss this week’s Intimacy Coordinator with Skyler, Asif Ali, and Femi Abe! Skyler Higley: @skylerhigley, Help Me Be Black Podcast

Joel Kim Booster's first all-straight panel–Asif Ali (Deli Boys, WandaVision), Skyler Higley (The Onion, After Midnight) and Fumi Abe (The Tonight Show, The Late Show)–finally get to ask the potentially career-ending questions that keep them up at night. From why gay men are so mean and what happens when the bottom finishes first, to the male loneliness crisis, the upsides of toxic masculinity, and why Spider-Man makes a better role model than Batman.

What's the most masculine thing about two of drag's most decorated queens? This week, Joel Kim Booster is joined by Monét X Change (Drag Race All Stars 4 winner, The Traitors) and BenDeLaCreme (Drag Race All Stars 3, The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show) to talk about all things masculinity—from GAY-ming and bar fights, to fatherly lessons involving studs. Plus the perils of hooking up in drag, mismatched sex drives in marriage, and the little known practicality of tennis balls in pools.
