Audio for Interview on Graham Norton audio:
You're in Berkley, California in 2005 and you're minding your business going into a Walgreens. Which is like a Boots here. So I'm going in there cause it's a Sunday night. Just-I live in New York, I go in there to get a mask, a facial mask.
So I'm walking in and I see someone walking out, has beautiful hair down to here, (gestures below the shoulder) lip piercing, beautiful, beautiful. I see this guy and we look at each other and I'm like 'oh my god' and I'm on the phone and I come outside. We look at each other and he's talking to this young woman, and she seems to be angry at something. So its a lot of like- *mimes yelling* and he's looking at me and she's all *mimes anger*
And I'm like, what's going? So I'm like ok let me get off the phone. I get off the phone, they walk off down the street. But he keeps looking back and I wave, but he just keeps going. And then I'm just dumbfounded and I end up in a Blockbuster across the street, and I don't even know what I'm doing I decide to look at my watch and it's 8:03. And I look outside, I think is he here? I think maybe I'll come back next Sunday and he'll be here. I'm that kind of hopeless romantic.
Cut to three days later, I'm trying to buy a used computer and I'm just scanning craigslist. They have that over here right? I'm scanning craiglist. So I thought, maybe I'll place one of those Missed Connections ads. I wonder if they work, cause I would read them on the subway. I go to page 2 of them as I'm reading and I see: 'saw you outside of Walgreens - Berkley. He placed an ad for me two hours before.
Sterling K Brown: Come on, brah.
I jumped up I'm like, are you kidding me? That's me. He described me with my faux hawk, it was 2005. *laughing* And I was like, get out of here. So we met up three days later. We had our first date. I was trying to be a good boy and go home. He said, can you stay over? I said sure but let's just cuddle. We cuddled. I thought he was asleep. Four o'clock in the morning, I couldn't sleep and I say to him, "I think I love you and you're about the change my life." And we've been together almost nineteen years now.
Sterling K Brown hollers. "Yooo! Are you serious? Oh my god!"
The crowd cheers. Graham and the other panelists make similar amazed sounds. /end]

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises itโs about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors
I work at a bookstore and hearing one of my male coworkers call smutty romantasy "the downfall of society" because it's "literally just porn" radicalized me
Men have an entire industry. Entire industries dedicated to their sexualities. Let women have fantasy sex. there's not even a camera crew involved.
