Strange bedfellas you might think. Let us try to unite them in this podcast from Wales. I'm in Wales here with my family. I've just been with my family in London. So a bit of downtime, a bit of a break, which is good, not only for me, it's good for you. The sun is out in most parts of Europe and America. So hopefully you're hitting the streets. Remember 90% doing 10% top up theory. But anyway, it's good to be recording another podcast. I've come back from New York City where the daygame was excellent. High temperatures meant short skirts, a lot of skin on display, Great results from the students. And that means I think I've been to New York nine times now for daygame coaching, and the results seem to be better than London. Okay? And also the hotness of the gills, the concentration of hot gills in Lower Manhattan from Union down to Washington, Broadway, 5th, Soho, Tribeca, East Village, Williamsburg, and a lot of other secret gems. The concentration is just better than London. So it's certainly a myth that there are no hot American girls. They concentrate in New York City because of fashion. They're skinny. They're tall. I would see one, and I'd think, right. She must be Russian. And I'd run over and should be American. Americans are chatty, initially pretty open, easy to vibe with. Yeah. They've got a bit of a frame control going on. But if you can crack that, the sex is pretty fast. New York City is a daygame city of one date, lead and escalate. So anyway, does that make New York City better than London? Perhaps. Although London is year round and we've got, I would say, a greater mix of hotter tourists. New York, obviously, in the winter was cold. In August, it's very humid and sticky. But if you're going there from March, April, May to June to July into September, great stuff. If you're in North America, get to New York City. No excuses about daygame in North America. So that was that. I've said about being with my family. So let us dive in to today's podcast, split into two topics. Initially, was just gonna talk about, one, STDs, as I mentioned in the last podcast q and a. But to be honest, I gave a pretty pithy succinct summary last time of my beliefs around STDs. I'm just gonna expand upon that today. But the second half of the podcast is gonna be about oneitis because in the last two, three weeks, I've got tons of emails, oneitis y kind of emails. There must be something in the water. Guys getting particularly needy, forgetting the basics, lacking abundance, or craving affection, and they're emailing me about one particular girl. So we'll talk about when it is happens to the best of us, happens to all of us. It's a very human thing. Nothing to be ashamed about. Nobody can be resistant to it no matter how long you've been in the game. So we'll come on to that. Anyway, STDs. Starting with a quote by Norman Mailer. He says, there is nothing safe about sex. There never has been and there never will be. And the biologist in me says, yep. That is true. If you look at animals' mating patterns, dominance, and submission, the chase being central to it, you'll understand the reality, the biology of sex. Alright? We're not talking about a vanilla, watered down, romantic version of sex. We're talking about what actually happens. Yeah? The act itself, you know, what the man is doing, nailing the girl. It's a pretty, full on thing. I don't like it when it's romanticized. I really don't like it when it's made to be wrong. People get a complex about sex. And part of making sex seem bad and dangerous and wrong and unnatural is by using the tactic of scare stories. Yeah. If it bleeds, it leads. Hopefully, nothing is bleeding after you're having sex. But you get the scare stories. You get the myths. You get the stigma, you get paranoia. So this podcast is based on, quite a lot of worried emails guys send me, often guys that lack sexual experience, and they're afraid to even venture into their first, second, third, fourth sexual experience because of the scare stories. Yep. And this is either through religious doctrine. Obviously, it's a great way to shame sex, to stop people having premarital sex, to control sex, or it's just a lack of biology. Sometimes it's just superstition. People think, well, STDs happen to a certain type of bad person or just a really slutty person. They get completely the wrong idea. It's like with dieting. It's like with nutrition. So we're not gonna talk about feelings. We're gonna talk about facts. My father was an orthopedic surgeon. My mother was a laboratory assistant in hematology. So, taking blood, analyzing blood. I studied biology at university. So I'll bring some of that into this and try to, take away some of the stigma, to debunk some of the scare stories. Okay? And I'm sure this will trigger lots of comments saying, well, no. I have a friend and this is what happened to him. Or I've read about crystals and magnets and they do this. Or in this country, we have a superstition that says this. Well, this is just from statistical data. This is just scientific data. And from somebody who's had a lot of casual sex, hundreds and hundreds of partners. So I can talk about my experience with the reality of perhaps taking some silly risks and what actually happens to me and other guys that do this and to girls that I've slept with who have also had many sexual partners, they've obviously told me about their adventures too. So the first thing that I'll repeat from last week is if you do the following two things, you can really, really calm down. The first big one, which I would say to anybody listening to this podcast, unless you're a virgin, is to get tested. Alright? In Britain, it's free. It's a walk in clinic. You just walk in. Yeah. You've got to feel the embarrassment, embrace the social awkwardness. But if you're a daygamer, that's normal. You go in, you wait a little bit, and then, yeah, you go into a doctor's room, you drop your trousers, they examine you. Sometimes they, push something, pretty small right up into your dick, and it stings for a second. They're just taking a little sample from the urethra, and you'll have your blood taken. I suggest you you go for the blood test as well. If you've got any kind of symptoms, then, they'll take some, plate culture smears, and you'll get some of the results back instantaneously, almost instantaneously, after your urine sample as well. And the other ones, you'll have to wait two, three weeks for. Okay? Especially the bloods. And then you get printout or you get a phone call if something's wrong. You get to see all your results. So I would definitely, definitely, definitely do that. You just have to get over the embarrassment. But, hey, come on. This is your health. So the embarrassment lasts for five minutes if you've never had it done before. But after that, you can have peace of mind. I go at least every two, three months. When I'm really, really active, when I was in London, and just down the road was a walk in sexual health clinic, I'd go even once a month just to get things checked up. If I had any kind of phantom symptoms or things that I just was curious about, you can go and ask them questions. Actually, because I was living in Soho, the nearest clinic was the gay clinic, and it's the biggest gay clinic perhaps in Europe. So many highly sexually active gay guys in there that I felt like a, you know, a newbie, a virgin. The number of partners, the number of girls I had compared to the number of guys that these blokes were sleeping with. So, the first thing to do is to feel relaxed and open enough about it that you can talk to a professional about all of this stuff. You don't have to talk to your family. You don't even have to talk to your friends. But you have to be willing to be able to walk into a clinic like that, make an appointment, have an examination, and face the facts, face the truth about what is going on. That'll give you a lot of peace of mind. The second thing, as the people in the clinic will nag you to do, is use a condom. So they'll nag you. I'm nagging you even though, like I said in the last podcast, I've taken a lot of risks, unprotected sex, which is a story in itself, you could say, because, from those hundreds of partners, I've had very little happen. You could say I've been lucky, or you could say that this is the reality of, STDs anyway. I don't wanna present it as risk free, so obviously, I'm sounding like your mom and your dad, and the people at the sexual health clinic wear a condom. Gives some peace of mind, obviously. It doesn't protect from some of the STDs we're gonna talk about. Condoms can split. You can still have pregnancies. All sorts can go wrong with condoms, but that gives a lot of guys peace of mind. Anyway, let's wind it back and think practically, biologically. Okay? Bacteria are not germs. Alright? Not all viruses are bad. Right now, as you're listening to this, between, I don't know, 800 to a thousand different species of bacteria are living inside your stomach. And they love it, and your body loves it. It's win win. It's symbiosis. It's good. There's bacteria, there's flora fauna living on your skin, living on your tongue, in your mouth. People are superstitious about bacteria. They say dirty germs must be eliminated always with antibiotics. Not true at all. Viruses, again, right now you've probably got five strong strains of virus in your body. Viruses evolved pretty late, even though they look like simple organisms, they hijack cells looking to replicate, Replication of DNA being the purpose of life on earth biologically. Viruses came late to the game. But anyway, right now, you've got all sorts of viruses inside you. There's no symptoms. Things are dormant. Nothing's wrong. You'll never know, and it will always be fine. They come and go. Sure. They, amplify sometimes, and you get, signs of the flu, or you might get the flu. A cold comes and goes, but you don't always need treatment. Same with you don't always need antivirals. You don't always need to go to the doctor. So that's the principle of things being dormant. Let's talk about risk. The riskiest thing you probably do day in, day out is get into your car. Right? If you ride a bike in London or New York City, then that is incredibly risky, statistically. Right? You've got a I've written it down here. Hang on. You've got a one in eighty four chance of dying in a car accident every time you get into a car. That's pretty fucking high. Alright? Catching an STD that you can never get rid of or will kill you, it's extremely, low chance. Okay? Half of the people on planet Earth during their lifetime will have an STD. The likelihood now, without making you paranoid, is that you already have, an STD inside you of some sort if you've been sexually active, and it's dormant. You'll never know about it. And it's okay. It might appear when you get checked up in the results, and they'll say, nothing to worry about. It's not the active form. It it's been there for a long time. You don't need treatment. It's fine. So read up on the statistics. Okay? I'm not gonna go through every single one, but you can read up on North American statistics, European statistics, UK statistics. Look into it. Face the facts. Don't just respond to your your feeling when you see a headline or you hear somebody preaching at you about it or you hear an incidental story about my friend's cousin's brother's sister's uncle said that. Just look at the statistics. That will cheer you up. Okay? And like I said, chances are you, me, you've got a strain. Alright? And you're panicking because of a lack of understanding about the biology. Let's think about the STDs that guys are really paranoid about. Actually, let's just go through the basic list. We'll do bacterial first, usually treated with antibiotics. Although trials show that antibiotics often make little difference, it's just peace of mind. I think, they give you two days improvement on what would happen anyway if you just allowed the, the thing to take its course. So remember that about antibiotics. And the second half, we'll talk about viral. And the use of antiviral medication, you know, we'll come on to that as well, about the seriousness of what you've got. So chlamydia. I've had chlamydia. It's a bacterial infection, often given to you by those lovely girls. They get it quite frequently, and it can be treated with antibiotics. It's very simple. It gives you some mild symptoms. Sometimes you don't know about it. You might feel some burning. Nothing to worry about. Most sexually active guys might get some form of it or even just a plain urinary tract infection. In their whole sexual lifetime, that's gonna come up. But if you get tested and you're treated, it's nothing to worry about. The big brother to that, which I've never had, and I don't know anyone that's ever had it, even very sexually active players, is gonorrhea. Okay? Bacterial as well. That's the pussy one that you see in, scare story movies, and that's treated with the antibiotics. It's treatable. It's not like in days gone by when Casanova would suffer for months and years with this stuff and make you seriously ill. God bless antibiotics, you know. Fleming, I was in Paddington Station today, and next door is the hospital, I think it's called Saint Mary's, where penicillin was discovered. So there we go. A remarkable change of events for players. Syphilis. I think Casanova had that as well. Again, it's a step up. I've never met anybody who's had it in the West. I've certainly never encountered it myself, but it's treatable, treated with antibiotics. Alright. Viral. And the word virus and the idea of a virus seems to scare people because they don't understand what a virus is. They immediately think of HIV, and then they think of AIDS, and they think of death. It's the scare stories from the eighties and the nineties. Newspapers love this stuff, obviously, because you can shame people that are not settling down. You can shame homosexuals. Religious groups can use this. It's clickbait. Alright? So obviously, an article about somebody with gonorrhea or syphilis or HIV or hepatitis b will come onto that. You know, one in a million people, they're gonna pick up on it, and they're gonna amplify it. That's the media because it sells. Anyway, something I have had virally, HPV, human papillomavirus. There you go. I said it correctly. Papillomavirus, HPV. There's a vaccine against it now, but I've had very mild ones in 2011, tiny bumps, like little warty things, and they were burnt off, joy of joys, with liquid nitrogen, a bit like dry ice. No. It wasn't painful. No. I never had them again. I just thought they were, little scratches. They were tiny. You know, you imagine these things to be like elephantitis, man, terrible things scarred for life. No. They're just like little scratches, little spots. You wouldn't even notice them. And she said, well, it's HPV. It's not serious. You're gonna burn them off. And that was it. And I've never had them since. That was given to me by some girl, obviously. The one that guys really worry about, the viral one, is herpes. Yep. Because you think of the sores, and it can't go away. People are terrified. But the reality is, once again, you might already have this. There's a large chance that you've already got a form of herpes inside you. Most people do not show symptoms. HSV one, that's the herpes one that will give you the cold sores. So you know somebody or you've had this already, the cold sores. Eighty percent of the population apparently has this already inside you, but it's pretty dormant. Okay? It breaks out when you're stressed or tired. You might be aware of that. HSV two, that's the one that people worry about. It's the breakout around your knob. But, again, ninety percent of people who have that are unaware because it's dormant, And it's treatable. It can be suppressed. There's little breakouts of it, and then it's minimized. So the scare stories for that one are far worse. I've got no experience with that one. The big one, the media loves, obviously, HIV. Like I said in the podcast last week, for a heterosexual guy in the West, it's almost unheard of. Yeah. You'd have to be a drug user undertaking pretty dramatic, risky, odd sexual habits outside Europe or North America. But even that, it lacks the stigma that it did even ten years ago with the antiviral medication, treatments and programs, life expectancy. But I'm not even gonna bring that up because you shouldn't be thinking about that if you're new to daygame and you're worried about HIV and AIDS. You've been reading too many clickbait articles. Hepatitis v b, again, very rare. It's viral. You'd have to be a drug user. You'd have to pee in Sub Saharan Africa or dodgy parts of South America, dodgy parts of Asia doing dodgy things. It's almost unheard of. I've never met a player with talking about HIV, AIDS, hepatitis b. And once again, there's antiviral medication. So it's it's not the end of the road, but we don't really need to discuss it because, like I said, in the community, it's unheard of. Unless you're a drug user undertaking in gay sex, crazy Sub Saharan anal sex. But that's usually not in the the reality of most players in the West. And the last one, which is not a STD, but is the biggest thing you probably should be worrying about, even if you've only had one sexual partner and you're still with them, you're still dating them, you're living together with this girl, and that is getting her pregnant. Pregnancy. Yeah? The impact on her, having a child for the rest of your life, the financial implications, the geographical implications, the logistical implications. That is a big one. Alright? So you gotta think about the risks you take. I've taken many risks with this one. I've walked girls to the pharmacy the next day for the morning after pill. That's happened. More when I was starting out and I was extremely reckless. It happens to a lot of night gamers because they're drunk and they just shoot their load. But as you get older, as you get wiser, as you get more experienced, you know, you you you try to minimize the risks. Maybe you're thinking of the snip to completely minimize the risk your end, but I'm not gonna let you on pregnancy, but that's the one you should be emailing me and worrying about. Certainly, not the STDs listed. But, anyway, I will repeat the information I said last week and at the beginning of this podcast. Go and get tested. Don't email me. I'm not a doctor. I can't help you with symptoms. I can't even give you peace of mind. Even this podcast won't give you peace of mind. Be brave. Suck it up in a nonsexual way. Go to your local walk in clinic. Certainly in England, Wales, Scotland, it's free. In Europe, I'm guessing it's free. North America, I don't know, but go and get tested regularly. The more sexually active you are, the better. Using a condom? Yes. And even then, when you know your partner and you've kind of had a discussion about is she on the pill, has she been tested? Like I said last week, you can't, take that as gospel. You really need to know the girl to be able to completely relax. And, again, it's an awkward conversation to have, but if you're planning on having a lot of unprotected sex with her, and you're living with her, or you've been dating her a long time, it's a perfectly legitimate normal thing to be able to talk about openly. And you've just got to embrace this awkwardness, a bit like with daygame and social anxiety. You've got to say, look, this is part of being a man. I've got to take responsibility here. Yeah? I'm going to go and get tested. I'm gonna bring her along to get tested. I'm gonna have these open discussions about when is her period. It feels weird, certainly to most awkward Northern European guys. English people don't like to talk about it. Germans are very repressed with sex. Scandinavians don't like to talk about it. So have that conversation. End of story. And no more questions to Tom about STDs. Alright. The second part of this podcast. We have a little intermission. We're gonna have an intermission. This intermission is a quick email from a guy called mister a, we'll call him, and I got this the other day. In the last few weeks, I've had some very positive emails, which has helped me along nicely because you do go through dark nights of the soul with coaching, with daygame, and with traveling, and generally leading a slightly different lifestyle, quite a different lifestyle than most people. You go through times where you think, why am I doing this? Should I be doing this? Is it worth it? Know, should I go back to the nine to five and wearing a tie and a and a house and a car and two kids and a pretty wife? Am I doing the right thing? And then you get email and then another email and another email and another email. Guy saying, I appreciate what you do. Thank you for what you're doing. This is what happened to me. And then you go, yeah. Alright. This is clearly working on some level. I'm gonna carry on. So that's what's happened in the last few weeks. And this came through from mister a. Dear uncle Tom, I just gave a ride, in that sense, to a crazy American 18 year old who came to campus today for orientation. I approached her and opened her, then I started accusing her of being a dreamy parrot, and she definitely liked it. She was a crazy art major student, and I used your teasers like throwing paints on a canvas randomly and etcetera. I used a couple of other accusations like checking guys under her sunglasses. Anyway, I closed her and texted her exactly your text. Random, but cool to meet you. Are you always so friendly? And she answered, only if there is a charming guy like you. Smiley face. I was planning to text her in three months when the semester started, but because of this green light, I offered for tonight or tomorrow coffee. Since she was leaving tomorrow, she said tonight. I took her to a coffee shop, and although she came half an hour late, I accepted her reason because she was in orientation and new to the campus. Although I punished her with the hand trick, smiley face. So I used your thing for qualifying and told her I like three things about girls. Good shoes, not too much makeup, good underwear because of the shoes, good hair. Yep. And she definitely liked it. After qualifying her, I said, okay. Now you have a gift. Close your eyes. So she closed her eyes, and I kissed her, and she jumped all over me, kissing me like anything. Then I bounced her, grabbed some food. We walked home, which was fifteen minutes away. Good logistics. She ate during the walk. Nice. Leaning. I took her home and started to show her my artwork. Nice. Mister Picasso. And I suggested that we see a movie or something, but she said, let's smoke. That's a classic green light. And she started to set up the smoking stuff, and we smoked a little bit. And it was on, so I escalated. And really soon, she was all naked. And you know what happened next, says mister a, smiley face. I just wanna thank you for all the techniques and everything that you've taught me for free. Oh, you charmer. I really appreciate it. Although my town is small, it's a 30 to 40,000 college town. I'm glad that I've been able to succeed by applying your method. I'm walking down the street now and writing this in order just to say thank you, Tom. So that's marvelous. Not because I feel the need for someone to blow smoke up my ass, as they say in Australia, but because this stuff is working. Right? And I say this is a bridge. Pickup arts are a bridge between the value you have now and your potential value. Alright? It's the training wheels. It's the stabilizers. And eventually, mister a, all that stuff will be internalized, and you'll just do it automatically, and you'll become that person. But for now, those techniques are carrying you from where you wanna be to nailing that crazy 18 year old. So fantastic. Good on you, mate. Okay. Second half of the podcast, and you don't seem to have this problem. Neediness, oneitis. This is just to cover all those emails I've had in the last few weeks, with guys saying, there's this one girl in my college, there's this one girl in my school or my work. I know I shouldn't be oneitis y about it, but should I do this? I've been thinking about doing this, She did this. She said this. She has a boyfriend, but I So they know the pickup theory, yet they need the tough love of somebody going, look. One it is. Yeah. Purity fantasy. Myth of the one. Read those, black sheep posts I wrote on my blog. Okay? You've broken the critical rule, and this is the rule you've broken. It should be her needing you more than you need her. I'll say that again because that applies to daygame, dating, relationships, marriage, any kind of relationship. Even in business, you could say, they should need you more than you need them. So all these emails show me that it's you needing her more than she needs you. You've lost the frame, we would say. You're clearly in her frame. She has the power because she knows on whatever subconscious level that you need her more. That's neediness. Okay? And neediness is, I usually say, just triggered by scarcity. And for most guys listening to this podcast, that's probably true. That's tough love. Right? You don't have enough planes on your air traffic control, so you're just fixated on one. Okay? Even worse if you haven't slept with her, pretty bad if you have slept with her and you're still fixated on her. You need more planes on that screen. That's what we mean by plate spinning. How do you get plates? You go out and you collect leads. Leads give you this feeling of abundance even if it's temporary, And you can't just focus on one plane. You've got all these planes taking off and coming into land and at various points on your screen, and it just relaxes you. It makes all of those behaviors from your facial expressions to your text messages to your escalation. It makes you non needy. And as soon as girls sense non neediness, they feel attraction because they sense that you are a player. You've got other women that creates the jealousy, and you are preselected by females. You must be because you're not needy around her. Wham bam. Thank you, ma'am. That's the magic spark which creates attraction. The moment you show her that you're needy, she senses this guy doesn't have options. He's not preselected by other females. There are no other females going on. He's probably not having sex. Therefore, he has low value. No. She's not thinking any of those things rationally. Alright? So don't blame her. This is just a primitive, primeval, programmed social intelligence. She knows. It's very hard to hide neediness. Okay? And scarcity is the big one. So if you just wanna solve that one it is, just like they say in the film swingers, Vince Vaughn, go and watch it. Great movie about oneitis. Go and talk to chicks. I tell students, go and at least date 10 of the girls. You don't have to sleep with 10 girls, but go and date 10 girls. Maybe try and kiss 10 girls on 10 different dates. So therefore, you're gonna need to do, I don't know, at least a 100 opens, cold approaches. Yeah? Then come back and perhaps think about that one girl again. Is she so special? Is she the special snowflake? Is she gonna complete your life forever? Alright? But here's the caveat to the oneitis thing because I've spoken about oneitis a lot. Why do players with abundance get oneitis? Three of the emails in the last few weeks have been from guys who are very sexually active. Okay? They're the ones who should be thinking about, checkups for STDs, not, guys who are just getting into game. But anyway, okay. The player has a lot of casual sex. Yeah. He meets a girl, and he falls really hard. He goes back to believing that she's the special princess, the one in a billion. She's gonna make his life complete. He can't eat. He can't sleep. He can't game. So why does this happen? Well, the answer to this is in the black dragon podcast and in my podcast called affection addiction. I'd say if you're one of the one percent of guys who has this problem, it means you're a very active player. And what you're craving for is not the sex, quite clearly. It's the affection. This is why when I was speaking to KLA at Black Dragon, we said that players fall harder. If you look at famous pickup artist, they often go from super abundance to very fast marriage and babies and a u-turn and, okay, I don't believe in this anymore. And you could say he's gone from red pill to blue pill or even worse kind of purple pill, life coachy stuff, rejecting pickup. Because you have such an extreme reaction, your body's saying, I need affection. And when you find it from a girl, you fall hard. Okay? This is the craving for oxytocin that I talk in the about in that podcast, affection addiction. That's why splitting up hurts. So you can have oneitis if she leaves you or even, you leave a girl. I I, ended things with quite a long term thing I was having, even though it was open around, Christmas, New Year's, 02/1516. And even though I had abundance, it stings. Because when you lose oxytocin from one person, it feels like you're cut off from your mother. It feels like a death. It's a biochemical thing. It lasts a few months. You could say even a few years because you don't forget that person. But you do get over it. I repeat, you do get over it. Just have faith. Okay? Again, facts, not feelings. And sometimes you need to hear this tough love. I need to hear it. I write this stuff down, and I read it to myself because these chemicals, these emotions are extremely powerful because they're so primeval. Yep. So you need to sit back. Don't make any decisions when you're drunk or late at night. I say wait till the morning. Wait till your mind's fresh. Talk about it with a friend. Go for a walk. Get some distance. Distance yourself from that girl. Don't contact her. Think rationally. Okay? You don't need to be a silly optimist where, you just lie to yourself that you can be happy all the time. I would say I'm a rational optimist. Okay? Because I put things down on paper. Facts, not feelings. And I let that be my focus. Because be very careful where you put your focus. Where you put your focus becomes your reality. Yeah? So if you put your focus on scare stories about STDs, you'll see STDs everywhere. You'll think about STDs all the time. If you put your focus on that one girl at work, that will become your reality no matter how much pickup you know. So where you put your focus is what becomes your reality. Simple sentence with massive life implications. We are coming up to half an hour, so I am gonna finish it there. I've been talking quickly because it's rather late at night, and I've gotta edit this and upload this before I go to bed. And tomorrow, it's another day with family. And then Sunday, I'm flying out of The UK, so I wanted to get this done. A little pause in videos maybe on YouTube, but that's good for me. It's good for you. Hopefully, you're out there hitting the streets and the coffee shops, getting some results. Let me know as ever because, like I said, it spurs me on, and I'll read them out because it spurs other people on too. That was podcast 62 over and out from Wales. Ta da.
