- No, you're not broken.

- No.

Clearly something's wrong.

I think it's

a totally normal thing,

and maybe you just...

What if like, as soon as I come,

I become Beyonc or something?

[laughs]

That's a start right here.

All the sudden,

I'm just like ah-ah-ah,

and there's like

all these girls behind me.

Everywhere I go,

I'm dancing.

[laughing]

You did it!

What if those girls shot out

of your puss when you came?

And then you created

this Beyonc marching band.

It'd be like five,

six, seven, eight!

You know those little dinosaurs you

put in water and then they grow?

- And they expand?

- Yeah!

But it's those girls

that shoot outta your puss.

[laughing]

- Backup dancers.

- Wow.

Beyonc's like smoking gold.

Beyonc only smokes gold.

All I smoke is gold

All I, all I smoke is gold

Did you make that up?

Yeah, she's smokin' gold.

It's all about

your breath, okay.

You've gotta like sync

the breath with the rhythm.

- Like how?

- And the body.

It's the physical,

it's the emotional,

it's the spiritual.

Do guys, too?

- What?

- Have to do that, too?

Yeah. Bro, we have stuff

to talk about,

if you don't realize.

You get a boner

from a brass instrument.

- Yeah, tromboner.

- You don't worry about that.

The only reason that I was

taking trombone lessons

is because you went

through a ska phase,

which you should be

embarrassed about.

I'm not embarrassed.

I'm not embarrassed.

Maybe I just missed the way

things were or something.

- I miss you.

- No.

You just wanted

to have sex with Josh.

And that was

the way things were.

I just miss you.

I miss you too.

I've been thinking

about something.

And I don't want you

to take this the wrong way,

because you know

that I love you

and I'm not trying to tell you

that you're a bad person.

But what I've been

thinking about is that...

I think that Lu

is probably thinking about you

when you guys are having sex.

What else should she

be thinking about?

Herself and what

makes her feel good.

I think that you just need

to make her feel like safe.

[speaking native language]

[continues speaking

native language]

You know, you'll go to hell,

otherwise.

I come from

a Middle Eastern family,

and orgasms don't exist

in the Middle East.

They're not allowed to,

so, um, you know,

as far as I know,

out loud,

I've never had one of those.

Yeah, didn't have one.

Probably will never have one.

I'm a pretty good, good woman.

I'm a good woman.

Yeah, I mean, growing up,

I couldn't actually have sex

without it being

this really like painful,

intense thing.

It had to be like really

kind of like this intense thing

'cause in a way

I was reliving things

that a lot of women live,

unfortunately.

But I've totally

reclaimed that now.

When I get up onstage,

it's like,

that's like

I own that platform.

I get up,

there's no nerves there.

It's like here I am,

this is what I am,

and there's

this total control.

It's like this, I own it.

So in the bedroom,

I'm sort of getting there.

It's so weird

that I can get up

and just be like

totally owning my sexuality.

And I'm like, "Aah!"

And everybody's like, "Yeah!"

And you're like, "Uhh!"

But then in the bedroom,

I'm like,

"Oh, like that's vulnerable."

Oh, my God.

I was with this person,

and they were just like,

"I'm gonna do this to you

and that to you,

and I'm gonna do this

and don't make a sound."

And I was thinking,

"What the f***?

That's what I do.

I make sounds."

I gotta breathe through this.

I'm not gonna come

if I don't breathe

through this.

It was so crazy

'cause I felt so safe

that I just grabbed her neck.

"Don't f***ing tell me

not to breathe."

And I was like,

"Whoa! It happened!"

They were doing it

in like a fun way.

It was like this snake

that came out of me.

This like, I don't know...

[imitating explosion]

And I just like turned into

this like powerful beast.

[Helen]

Rough ride.

What's up?

How's this pool party going?

- Hey, babe.

- Hi!

Hello.

[Helen]

Hey, sorry about that scare,

but I think

it's pool time, baby.

We got snacks?

- Gimme a kiss.

- [Krin] Get in your swimsuits.

- [Josh] Come on!

- Okay, get in your swimsuit.

I'm so happy

y'all are in the tub

All of you in the tub

You, my friend

[giggling]

Thanks for listening.

What? Thank you!

Don't push that in there

'cause we'll get electrocuted.

No, it's battery operated.

There's no source of power.

I don't buy it!

"Mind Over Heart"!

"Mind Over Your Heart"!

Please!

[somber]

This sounds hilarious.

Hey

Put your head down

On my lap

Let me see you reach

for the edge

And then crack

'Cause I assure you

To hold you

in the depths of your dread

As I assure too

But I prefer you

when you find

A way to transcend it

'Cause your shadows

Sweep across the rooms

in my head

I'm still in the room

behind the door

Oh, what you

initially said

'Cause you know

You put your mind

over your

Over your heart

You put your mind

over your

Over your heart

You put your mind

over your heart, you said

You lose the love

you found, you said

You lose the love

that you felt initially

And when you hide it away

Away

Sets off the alarms

The alarms, the alarms

And when you

When you're hiding away

How it tires me

'Cause I'm always

holding space

For our love,

For our love

For our love.

Wait, let me focus on you.

[giggles]

[moaning]

Did you just... come?

- No?

- Andi...

- What? I...

- It's fine.

I mean,

you don't have to stop.

I mean...

[sighs]

I can't help it.

Sorry.

I kinda think...

I'm so worried about my nieces.

I feel like...

You're totally avoiding

the issue right now.

Could we just actually,

like, talk about it?

Yeah.

Um...

I'm...

sorry.

I don't understand

why you just didn't tell me.

I don't know, I don't know.

I almost did and then I didn't.

And I'm sorry, and...

You've been with

a lot of girls

and I've only... you know,

you're my first girl,

and this is the best sex

I've ever had, for sure.

But I've always had

this problem,

and I just, I thought

maybe it would go away.

I thought, like,

eventually...

How's it supposed to go away

if I don't even know about it?

I don't know. I thought maybe

it's something that happens.

I know it's really lame like

how it came out and everything,

but it's out now,

and I feel kind of relieved.

Yeah, well, I'm glad

one of us is relieved.

Andi, that's not fair.

I guess we have to fix this.

I just need to fix it,

that's it.

Or what?

Or what?

We'll break up?

- Again?

- [sighs]

I guess.

What?

I just... am worried

that if you're

hiding this from me,

I don't know

what else you're hiding.

I'm not hiding anything else

from you, I swear.

I swear.

I care that everybody says

that I'm like

the type of person

who doesn't make you

feel safe.

You don't make me feel safe.

Well, that doesn't feel good

for me to hear.

Like, you're not easy

to talk to.

You're really not.

It is not my job to make you
