Enjoy this classic episode from the DKS Vault, originally published in August of 2020. In a quest to discover whether or not she enjoys adult films, Sarah has spent the past two weeks reviewing a veritable motherlode of alone time clips - a pornucopia, if you will - compiled by Adam. Watching everything from gay to fetish, trans to hotwife, Sarah's ready to talk about what she watched and what type of adult material is right for her. Also in this episode, Sarah has important relationship needs, Adam's so lonely he got turned on by a video game, and was Adam in one of the clips he sent Sarah?

Who would you rather encounter in the woods, a man or a bear? This question has proven controversial for many men in the world (and rather simple to answer for most women, overwhelmingly choosing the bear). This week, Sarah and Adam talk about how men should react to this question, expand the discussion to add some context for anyone who might be confused, and throw in a few bear puns as well. Also this week, Sarah makes a cake that has explosive properties, Adam makes more friends in Tulsa, and your hosts answer a call from the DKS Hotline!

It's official - women don't need men. They can buy homes, get bank accounts, and live happy, fully satisfied lives without men getting in the way, and men don't like it. In this episode, Sarah and Adam talk about the 4B movement, an anti-dating movement from South Korea, and how it's spreading across the US too. Should crusty "alphas" with unwashed asses start to worry? Also this week, Adam and Sarah talk about their lives since February, and they give an update about Passport Bros and their creepy illegal tendencies with a story about Timothy Alan Livingston and his Colombian adventures.

Why improve yourself and be a better man when you can just take your mid-level paycheck to a foreign country and be toxic there? This week Adam and Sarah tackle the douchiest douchebags of all time - Passport Bros. (Not literally tackling them - we just talk about why they're misogyny-filled shitbags who should be ashamed of themselves). Also this week, your hosts address a valid concern from a listener about the FB group "Are We Dating The Same Guy", catch each other up on life since last month's episode, and once again ask you the listener to call in with questions by calling our DKS Hotline at 407-519-0181 today!

It's Season Seven of the DKS Podcast, and this is the season of the listener! We want your input, your feedback, and your support by sharing, reviewing, and interacting with us as much as possible! Our success comes from the community and we want to foster that community on a whole new level this year. If you haven't given us a 5-star rating and review on iTunes, now's your chance! This week, Adam and Sarah discuss the Simone Biles/Mr. Simone Biles controversy and identify all of the ways that it's not okay for men to throw their partners under the bus just to soothe their egos or impress other men. If your partner does this to you, we'll also be giving you some tips for handling it (just short of actual murder). Also this week, Adam and Sarah talk about their holidays, a listener gives an update from their voicemail in 2023 about a one-sided relationship and a new listener calls in to ask about dating someone who's trans.

Men have been taking center stage and talking for a long time, and as we strive for equality and equity in society, we head towards the many times in life when men should just stfu and listen. Stop mansplaining, cease playing devil's advocate, quit "just joking", give up trying to fix everything, and shut the fuck up for this fabulous new episode.

We all know that facing challenges in life makes us more resilient, stronger, more capable, and better at handling whatever life throws at us, but where should those challenges be coming from? This week, Sarah and Adam will discuss whether or not your partner should be the one to challenge you, and if so, when those challenges are appropriate. Also this week, we have an email from an Australian listener (and Adam apologizes in advance for his terrible Australian accent), Sarah prepares for a trip to South Africa, and Adam gets ready for a Thanksgiving alone in Tulsa.

Men love to say that women date by the 6-6-6 rule - they want 6 feet, 6 inches, and 6 figures. But is this true? Is this why men are having difficulty finding dates, or is it their inability to look beyond their type? And is it settling to expand your type? This week, Adam and Sarah will talk about types and why men and women approach them differently. Also in this episode, a call about dating anxiety from a listener, Sarah explores Cape Flattery, and Adam has the most epic Sunday Funday ever, Daytona Beach style.

The amount of ignorance that many adult men (and a handful of women) have with regards to sex, sexual intercourse, and women’s bodies shouldn’t surprise us after seeing a bunch of crusty old white dudes legislate women’s bodies. But be prepared to be shocked at the depths this ignorance can reach. After this episode, Sarah and Adam both agree that no adult should be allowed to engage in any physical contact with another consenting adult until they take at least one sex education class. For the sake of humanity. Also this week, a Mormon listener wrestles with dating and calls into the DKS Hotline, Adam visits the beautiful Origin Hotel in Lexington (book your stay today at https://www.originhotel.com/hotels/lexington), and What to See with Sarah G takes us to the Badlands National Park.

This pandemic has had permanent effects on so many aspects of our lives - what has it done to dating? Sarah and Adam examine whether or not the pandemic has ruined the way dating used to be, and if so, what can we do about it? Also this week, Sarah gets baby fever? That can't be right.

The Barbie movie is a billion dollar behemoth, and so many men are hemotional about it, recording himsterical podcasts, and throwing himsy fits. Is it warranted?

Boundaries are essential to any healthy relationship. But when does it transform from a healthy boundary to unhealthy abuse? What is the line between controlling someone's behavior and setting behaviors for a respectful relationship? Sarah and Adam discuss the recent Jonah Hill controversy and talk about why his behavior was not boundary setting and that his weaponization of therapy terms to gaslight and manipulate his girlfriend is abusive and toxic. Also this week, Adam has an interesting encounter with a fan, Sarah meets up with her ex's parents, we have a call from our DKS Hotline, and Adam and Sarah have a lovely stay at the Graduate Seattle hotel!

Dating apps give you the opportunity to set boundaries with regards to your safety, and when people push or violate those boundaries, it's a huge red flag. Adam and Sarah talk about when it is and is not okay to find someone in real life or on social media when you don't match on a dating app. Also this week, an email from a listener, Adam gets cranky about everything, and we get an update from an old date of Adam's and a reminder about why red flags should never be collected!

Tone policing is one of the most pervasive examples of male privilege and systemic misogyny in society today. Why are assertive women called bossy and shamed for their tones when assertive men are promoted? Why is society obsessed with being "ladylike" or polite as a way to censor women, especially women of color, and anyone who's femme-presenting? Even more insidious is the self-tone policing, when women apologize unnecessarily, are polite to men who don't deserve it, and judge themselves for ridiculous reasons. Adam and Sarah spend this episode talking about why it's time to stop being polite to men, stop apologizing, and stop tone policing. Also this week, we read a listener email who talks about a shitty man and her experience with the Facebook Group "Are We Dating The Same Man?" And of course, our Seattle meetup is coming up soon!

One of the most popular discussions among people in relationships revolves around love languages. While it seems nice to have our relationships tied up in such pretty little bows, the reality is that love languages are trash. The author, a misogynistic homophobic old pastor, created the concept as a way to benefit men, and the more you examine love languages as the babbling nonsense it is, you start to see how subtly nefarious it can be. This week, Sarah and Adam explain why using love languages can be a crutch, and can result in making the same bad relationship decisions over and over again. Also this week, a call to the DKS Hotline, Sarah visits Norway, and the DKS Meetup in Seattle is fast approaching. Clear your calendar for Thursday, June 29th and come see us at the Graduate Seattle!
