The Guy Friends & Co. are taking a brief break visiting loved ones and surviving derechos. We’ll be back soon!
In the meantime, please enjoy a few blog posts from our friends:

In this episode:
Can you really be friends with an ex? No really, can you REALLY be friends with an ex? A listener asks the Guy Friends how you can make such a seemingly impossible task possible. In short, as Aaron says, “Wounds heal.” Or as Josh says, “What’s the difference between an ex-girlfriend or ex-coworker?”
And a question about - get ready for THIS - dating a girl across a country (not USA), across cultural and religious barriers, and behind her parents’ backs. You’ll just have to tune in for that one.

In this episode:
The Guy Friends are packing their rucksacks and hiking off to camp!
A listener has reservations about returning to work at a summer camp the year after a ~Secret Summer Fling~. Her old flame is the only other returning counselor out of 10 staff in the entire camp! Should she rekindle the campfire and go in for S’more? Or should she hang her food from a tree? [In this quip, a horny person is represented by a hungry bear — Ed.]
And a question about going all the way to third base! Who’s excited? Make some noise, Bunk 13!
Stacey, what are you doing with that glo — oh. Ha… no, I… I wasn’t talking about playing softball. I was talking about when people touch your vagina. Yup. “Third base.” Yeah, no, I can… I can see how you might think that. No, I don’t know why they call it that. You can just… put that back in the equipment shed.

It’s a Very Special Maternal-But-Not-Suffocating Episode of the Guy Friends Podcast!
Aaron’s Mom has a question for the Guy Friends about words of motherly advice that they would pass on to their own children. We sift through the pearls of wisdom and nuggets of truth in search of the rare and coveted pearl-nuggets.
Also: BABY NAMES!
And Josh’s Mom asks for the most formative global event of our lives. Ever the industry gurus, the Guy Friends realize that your show can’t make it to the big leagues without a 9/11 episode… Enjoy (?)!

In this episode:
Do normal vegetarian men exist? Or are they all debased, no-good hepcats swingin’ their lewd jazz and shooting their veins full of the Devil’s marihuana? The Guy Friends assure a listener that she can find a vegetarian man who’s just as boring as she is. Just remember to eat plenty of dark greens and legumes — iron is the sexiest vitamin!
On a more serious note, a listener asks the Guy Friends what’s up with Creep-Os with “yellow fever” (NOT OUR TERM). Do men who claim to have it understand how ugly it is? Most importantly: by what rubric can you discern an innocuous interest from an obnoxious obsession?

The Guy Friends tackle a thought experiment — You break up with your boyfriend. A month later, you get back together. You ask him whether he slept with anyone in that period of time when you totally weren’tdating, and no one had any obligation toward anyone, and life was an open, sexy road. He says that he did. Do you freak out, like a crazy person? [y/n]
And a listener wants to hit on a dude she flirts with at her neighborhood grocery store. The catch: he’s an employee… who works there. Is it bad manners to hit on The Working Man? Is it a bad idea to sully one’s own feeding grounds? Or should she approach her meat market with a laissez-faire attitude?

In this episode:
An intrepid listener wants to put her spelunking skills to the test and take a journey deep down to the center of her boyfriend. Her boyfriend’s butt, to be exact. Anally. How does she broach this topic with her unwitting target? Is there a stigma against butt-stuff amongst straight dudes? The Guy Friends’ bodies are ready… to answer this maturely.
And a listener’s boyfriend had a friend in town, but she was mega-rude! Boorish, even!
Boorish. BOORISH.
She was trying hard to curb her own jealousy, and yet her boyfriend did NOTHING. How could he allow his old friend to act rude at a social gathering? Did he know how hard she was trying to not be jealous? Doesn’t he understand that his old buddy from Good Times Past is conspiring with the Freemasons and Monsanto to destroy their relationship?!

In this episode:
We hear from a young woman who has “recently unlocked the Pandoric box of orgasmic delight.” First of all, who knew that Pandoric was a word? Secondly, she wants to know whether she’s allowed to keep faking it sometimes. Aaron and Josh do NOT agree.
Plus, should you be worried about the potential for getting in-between two brothers and starting a Cain and Abel-esque feud that will span centuries? (Probably not.)

In this episode:
SCANDAL ON MATRIMONY MOUNTAIN! A listener is getting ~*~flirty~*~ text messages from an engaged dude. How should she deal with the semi-advances of a man who’s about to throw it all away… for happiness? Should she do anything at all? Or should she save him from either of his horrible mistakes?
And for the second half of this episode, enjoy a selection from our academic paper: What To Do When The Guy You’re Boning Won’t Publicly Couch-Cuddle You: Sex, Society, and Signaling in Netflix-Era Modernity (Horton, Aaron, and Josh Nalven. “April 9, 2013.” The Guy Friends Podcast Chicago: Kate Dries Media Intl.

chiaraatik:
What if you came over and my shelf was just lined with my own book? What if I gave one to every guy I’ve ever gone out with? What if I give these as hostess gifts?
Our old friend and pen-pal @ChiaraAtik recently published a tome of ancient, eldritch secrets… You should check it out!
If she gives you one as a hostess gift, demand her autograph — this is a first edition! How else are you going to save up for your retirement?

In this episode:
A listener contacts us from the other side of the world about some out-of-nowhere body shaming. What do you do when the 44-year old “kept” Russian man you’re boning pokes you in the belly and implies that you need to work out? We’ve all been there!
And after a particularly Me’h first date, a guy still comes in to give our listener a kiss. Why do guys do that? Can’t they tell when you’re bored? Why do they feel entitled to making their big dumb face touch your bored, grumpy face?
If you like bad accents and uncomfortable side-hugs, then tune in!

In this episode:
Another for-a-friend question — you guys are so concerned recently! What should one think about a Craigslist post that offers a hot ticket, paired with a hot date? Is this request creepy, legit… or both? Can she just show up to take the ticket sans date, or would that be extremely tacky and mean and she totally shouldn’t?
And a superchill listener had a contraception failure requiring a late-night run to CVS for Plan B (and beer!). Her dude of a few weeks offered to pay for it, like a champion. Later, she learns that it cost QUOTE fifty fucking dollars ENDQUOTE. Should she worry about who pays for it? More importantly: are these the Coolest Humans Ever?
