Porc Therapy

Archive for July, 2010

I heard you on FreeTalkLive and had to check your show out. It’s like the fun part of FTL in its own podcast. I’m in Houston, so I’m not a part of the “Keene scene”. Anyway, can you do a show on finding liberty minded people to date, or going on a date and turning them off by talking about liberty crapola?

And also, not everyone’s definition of liberty is on the same page—so that’s another hurdle. People that talk about liberty (like me) tend to sound creepy or too serious.

I probably went through half a dozen shows so far. Keep it up.

Stephanie rants about people who dress their babies as strawberries for their own amusement, to the detriment of their babies.

Stephanie and Mike appeared again on Ernie Hancock’s “Declare Your Independence” talk show (http:?/ErnestHancock.com) on July 13. We’re releasing that episode of Ernie’s show as this episode of Porc Therapy. We hope you enjoy it!

Let me give a little bit of backstory first, shall I?

I am an emotional, caring, loving, sensitive, empathic person. I am also a highly sexual and passionate person. The first is a little odd by today’s standards since I’m a man, but the latter is not at all unusual.

I have a lot of female friends. Many more so than the number of male friends I have, actually. I like this and enjoy this. Because I’m in touch with my emotions and give a damn about the emotions of my (mostly) female friends, I’ve found myself in “brother mode” or “best-friend mode” far too often than I like.

I know part of the reason for this. I am extremely conservative when it comes to boundaries. I like and enjoy touching, for instance, but I am terrified of touching someone who isn’t interested in being touched. I’m hesitant to express my desire for a sexual relationship (no particular one, just in general) because I’m afraid of changing or ruining the incredibly intimate relationships I’ve formed.

I suppose my question comes down to this: How do I indicate to my close friends that I’m interested in a sexual relationship as well as the intimate friendship while not ruining the existent friendship or making it “weird”?

Additionally, I’ve never been very good at ‘dating’, my relationships always evolve from deep friendships. Do you have any advice on how to initiate a dating/sexual relationship without my desire for emotional intimacy coming across as a way to “get into her pants”?

Jason Talley asks how to determine where to draw the line between gossiping and sharing useful information about someone’s reputation.

Jonny Ray asks about etiquette: I was taking a lady home on our 2nd date, and I opened the car door for her. She remarked that my chivalry was unusual and she enjoyed it. Are there guidelines for how much is too much in terms of chivalrous etiquette?

Live from PorcFest, JJ asks: what does it mean when a woman says to you that you’re too nice?

What do you do if you’re thinking about moving to New Hampshire for more freedom and liberty as part of the Free State Project, but you have a spouse or partner who is not interested.

[Edit] We updated this podcast with a modified mp3 from listener Zeus, who improved the audio quality. Thanks, Zeus!

A short announcement/apology for the feed and website trouble we’ve had recently. We should be back up and solid now that we’re on a new host.
