Uh oh. This episode discusses things that are adult in nature. So that means if you got kids in the room, you better ask them to scoot because we're about to get dirty.

Hey there. I'm sexual folklorist Dixie de La Tour, and this is episode 42 of the Body storytelling podcast. If you've got a little bit of nerd in you, you know that 42 is the number that symbolizes the answers to life, the universe, and everything. We'll address all that and more in this episode.

Let me tell you about the storyteller for this week's episode. I was so amazed when we started working on this story. And one of the things that happens when you start coaching somebody on their story and asking these detailed questions is where you start is not where you land. And this was an excellent example of that. This storyteller started by taking my standing O storytelling workshop. And at the end, there was a graduation performance. She soon performed for my bonafide show, which is no holds barred. True stories. And then this was her chance to be on stage at Bonnie. Such an incredible story. Christina Willis is a writer, an educator. She is the mom of two girls and she likes to participate in Spartan races for fun. I watch her on Facebook and go, good lord, I wish I had her energy. She's working on an upcoming book called the Best Divorce Ever. And I think you'll agree with me, she is an amazing storyteller. This story is from Christina Willis.

So there's two things that you should know about masturbation. One is that I invented it when I was 8. Then when I was reeducated about that fact. The second thing you should know is that I am masturbation's number one fan. I mean, doesn't it get you through so much shit? It's like, better than Ambien. It's a coping strategy. It's a way to get your sexual needs satisfied. And that's how I grew up on my own, independently doing that. And so. So there was a point when I rediscovered My love for masturbation at about midlife, when I was a whole bunch of other things that really boxed in my sexual being. And there was no room for that in my life. I was a mom of two kids. I was a teacher full time, and I was going through a divorce that had pretty much for many years, my sex life had been a desert and not the fun burning mankind. So I was interested in a little bit more. And I really just hungered for somebody's hands to be on me in a sexual way. And I looked on Craigslist mostly for things like used couches and selling the baby swing. But two columns over were these personal ads. And I'd read them and I'd masturbated to them vigorously. But through all the dick pics, they start to look the same. It's like, it's a dick, okay? And then I saw one that had no picture, and it really got my mind going. So I'm really lonely at this point. Have no intimacy with another person. And the ad said in the subject line, attractive guy to masturbate together with you. And I thought, okay, this is. And there's no pictures. So we emailed for a week or so and finally found a time to meet. So we met at an empty office building in Santa clara. It was two stories, kind of like 70s paint, brown, orange. I was optimistic. So I took my underwear off in the car. I was wearing a black skirt. And at the same time, I'm really skipping because none of my mom friends, I mean, we drink Pino and eat hummus. None of them, none of them would have thought that I was the Craigslist woman. And so I'm knocking on the door at this office building, and at the same time I'm thinking, oh, my God, I'm going to turn away. And then you hear the doorknob click and it opens and there is this guy. And there were two things about him. And you'll get to know him a lot better by the end of the story. So I'll give him a name. His name's Eric. There were two things about him that really just melted away all my nerves. And one was he was wearing this really sensible, kind of like deep plum colored Patagonia fleece. And I thought, you know, axe murderers don't look like that, rapists don't look like that. The other thing I noticed was that he had the most beautiful mouth. These big full lips that were framing perfect white teeth. And he was smiling so big at me. And later I come to find out this Was like the smile of a kindred spirit. But we'll get to that later. So he ushers me in and we talk a bit and decide, okay, let's do this, let's get down to business. And the office is empty. He had just shut down one company and was off to the next corporate adventure. The so in the middle of the office was a plaid sleeping bag, a space heater and an open jar of coconut oil. So we're like, okay. So I get down in my standard position, normally alone. My legs are spread a la ob GYN appointment and I dab the coconut and I'm going, I'm like, okay, circles up and down, a little finger inside. This is great. Now the whole time I'm doing this, he's been busy getting completely naked. And the next thing I see is this beautiful framed picture. Like his amazing swimmer's body, tan downy haired torso, close cropped hair and blue green eyes and big smile framed right between my thighs. But we're not touching at all. That was the deal. We're not touching. So we're like orgasm for orgasm. We're like three orgasms in. I'm like, oh my God. Multiple comer. This is great. Didn't know this could happen. And wonderful. And I'm masturbating furiously and it's so much fun to like have this beautiful male form to look at. And he's nice. And then I'm headed toward another one and he says, your pussy is so beautiful. I'm like, what the fuck? Like nobody's ever said this to me. Like, are you kidding? And so I say, I just needed a little leverage. So I say, can I put my feet on your knees? And he's like, yes, you can. So I do. And this electric current just shoots through me. And I look at him and he's like, I can tell he's feeling it too. And I knew two things after this first meeting. One, that I was actually the number two fan of masturbation. And I also knew that this could really be the start of something good. You know, all the other pieces of life were there. This was efficient. It was multi orgasmic. We were on the same page. We emailed more. We never talked on the phone. We never traded sexy pictures. We emailed a lot, like hundreds of pages. And through the process I found out that he and I were both sort of like the tiggers in our previous marriages. And we both sort of married Eeyores. And we were like, oh, you know, tiggers should not marry. Or as Tiggers should marry tiggers. And, you know, we were developing this sort of like collegiality mixed with sex. We did have sex. We met about, I don't know, half a dozen times in about three months. Things were going really well. Lots of promise. And then this happened. I got a phone call. It's my dad who moved from Fresno, California to Silverton, Oregon at about the same time that his wife, my stepmom, was coping with dementia, Alzheimer's. My dad had been arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct. My stepmom had wandered away from the house in this small Oregon town. My dad was drunk, called the cops. They came. He wouldn't let them in, but he did tell them that he had a loaded gun in the house. The cops eventually went in. It looked like a bad episode of Hoarders. And I get the call from my dad the next day. I need you to come help me. I'm an only child, collegial, but not close with the ex husband. So I'm really feeling totally alone, except for the guy I'm emailing. So I email him and I say, can I give you my phone number? And within five minutes, Eric is calling me and I explain the situation and he says, let's turn this into a road trip. So his little silver Audi with the mountain bike pulls up in front of my house and I've arranged for childcare. And for the next 10 days I'm like, okay, this is gonna be shitty, but I'm gonna have a lot of sex. So we head on up. And on the way, I'm like bent over at a creek bed washing my hands and my skirt's up in the back and ooh, there's a dick. It'. We get to Ashland and we stay in this beautiful little like Airbnb that's all art deco, mid century. So sore from all the sex the night before. It's morning and I'm like, okay, I'm so sore. Like, oh, I know anal. So the greatest thing is one, coconut oil and two, the shape of his cock turned my butt into a second pussy. It was amazing. I had always endured anal before, but this was like vagina orgasm sex, but in a place that wasn't sore. So we get up there, he drops me off, I deal with all the dad stuff and it's pretty miserable. My dad used to be this sort of ginger haired Viking guy and now he's slump shouldered and, you know, saggy from all the alcohol and he's given my stepmom this crazy pixie. Haircut and her brown eyes are vacant with dementia. And all she can say is, you know, I'm so glad we moved to Oregon because the kids up here don't cuss like they do in California. And she repeats that like a hundred times. So it's a miserable two days. Eric has gone mountain biking. It's miserable. My phone's ringing all day. I'm cleaning out my dad's house, my mouse turds and cobwebs and all kinds of shit. And then finally there's a knock at the door. I hear this familiar voice. It's Eric. He's come back early and he comes in and he's charming my dad, who by the way, didn't know that I had gotten divorced, didn't even know that I was seeing somebody. So we weren't super close. He's charming my dad. They're going to the store and they are buying this amazing meal to cook for my stepmom. It's wonderful. That night we have amazing sex. And my Eric and I in our pushed together twin beds in the guest room. And it's slow and it's close. And on the way home all I can think is, you know, I never expected this from Craigslist. And I never even knew that this is what I needed to find somebody who didn't even need me to tell him what I needed, but just anticipated and volunteered with terrific enthusiasm.

Alright, let's talk about the meaning of life. I think the meaning of life is to take care of each other and stand up for each other. If you need somebody to talk to, I'm here. If you need to know that someone wants to fight for you, I'm here. I'm finding myself going back and forth between crying jags and being so angry I just want to punch the entire world in the face. And I think that means. Means it's time to protest. I'm back from travel. I'm gonna get out in the streets. I hope you'll do the same. Don't let them get away with it. This political situation we're facing, this bullshit with Kavanaugh. Fight back. We've gotta do it. Don't sit by and let them take control from you. We're not just sex positive, we're people positive. And I'm fuckin positive that if we Fight. We can win. But we all have to fight together. So put on your walking shoes and get out in the streets. Eat some chocolate if that's what it takes. But take care of yourself and let's keep fighting. Okay? See you in the streets.

It's just for Patreon supporters. Thanks so much. As I listen to Christina Willis's story about her amazing road trip, I thought about this song. Jefferson Berge, who writes songs for body storytelling all the time, has this one song that I love. It's not particularly about sex, but it is about the road. So I thought it would be a great opportunity to let you hear his music. So when we hit the 10 year mark for body storytelling, I have wanted for a long time to have evenings of music that were just the songs. We always are a mix of life stories, live songs, games, audience connection, community. And I thought it would be fun to just skip the stories for one night and just do the songs. And we did that in both San Francisco and Oakland. And it was a rare opportunity for Jefferson Berge to do this song. And I love this song, so I wanted you to love it too. Here's your opportunity to hear a Song you may not have heard on stage at Body Storytelling. This song is called Rhythm of the Road and it's from Jefferson Berkey.

Dear podcast listener, did you know that you're getting less than half of the body storytelling experience right now? I mean, listening to the stories, listening to the songs. It's amazing, isn't it? But if you come to a live body storytelling, you get to have cocktails next to Attractive people who are open minded and sex positive and you get to make your new best friend. You get invited to sex parties and you're probably going to get laid because we're really, really good at that. So let me tell you about some upcoming shows for Body storytelling in San Francisco on Thursday, October 18th. The theme is Never say Never From Hell no to Fuck yeah. And following that, the next week in Seattle on October 25th. Our theme is Wicked. That's going to be at the Rebar Seattle. And we are not doing a Seattle show in November. I'll tell you why in a minute. So this October show is going to be your last chance for a couple months to get to a live body show in Seattle. We have people coming in from Canada and all sorts of places to attend a live body and I hope that you're going to be one of the people sitting in the audience. By the way, our last Seattle show was sold out as fuck, so I think they missed us and same thing's going to happen again. So get your tickets early after that. We have Friday, November 9th. That's a Friday night show. Normally we're on a Thursday. We're going to be on a Friday night, which means that it is going to be a packed house. People know the weekend starting body is a great way to start your weekend. The theme for the night is Pax a Wallop because we just did that one in Seattle and it was so much fun. I'm dying to see what San Francisco has in terms of stories for that theme. We also have Creature Hole coming in from Seattle and they've written us a brand new song. I hope that you're going to be at the Verdi club on Friday, November 9th with us. And the reason we're not doing a November show in Seattle is because we're coming to New York. We're doing another collaboration with our Friends at the Risk podcast. Kevin Allison and I love to create an evening of storytelling and if you know us, you will understand that the theme for this evening is Pervert. If you have a pervert story you should send it to pitchesisk-show.com youm can also go to riskshow.com to buy tickets for that show. They are selling really fast. In fact, I am getting messages from people who are telling me that they're flying in from around the country because they want to see a Risk Body storytelling show live and in person. And for that show it's going to be in Brooklyn at the Bell House. The tickets for that one are at risk-show.com all the other tickets you can find@bawdistorytelling.com get your tickets soon. I am working on another storytelling workshop coming up really soon, and I'm gonna be creating, probably early next year, an online version of my storytelling workshop. Because talking about sex and story is tricky, and I want it to be an experience that feels good for you and feels good for the audience. Live workshops will be coming up soon if you're in a city where those happen, and if you're not, you can book me and we can work together on Skype. I want to help you find your story, and I want to help you tell your story in a way that makes you feel powerful, that makes you feel like you've been heard and seen by the world. There needs to be an expression of you, and that's what storytelling is. Let's work together and create your story. Send me an email@dixieodystorytelling.com it's time to say thank you. I want to say thank you to the people who make this podcast possible. I am a storyteller and I am a sexual folklorist, and I'm a story coach, but I'm not that tech savvy. And if it weren't for these people, this would not be coming out to you. I want to say thank you to David Grossoff, who is the sound engineer who records our live shows. He's also been helping me with the setup for recording our live Seattle shows, too. David is a godsend. He's reliable, he's really good at his job, and he's made sure that the audio quality of these stories are better than ever. And he's made sure that we have them in perpetuity. They don't just get on stage and disappear like Boddy was once upon a time. Now you can hear them wherever you are. I also want to say thank you to Joe Moore. Joe Moore records video for us in San Francisco. He's the archivist who's been helping us organize these files, and he's been the person who took care of the tech needs for Bodi for a long, long time. Thank you, Joe. I want to say thank you to Dana Hannah, the project manager who built the bookshelves that we are sliding these books into now. Thank you, Dana. And finally, I want to say thank you to Marty Garcia.

Episode Release: October 3, 2018
This episode of Bawdy Storytelling centers around Christina Willis’s frank, funny, and touching tale of midlife sexual rediscovery and unlikely romance that begins with a Craigslist personal ad and turns into an unexpectedly intimate and transformative road trip. With her trademark wit, Christina explores desire, vulnerability, masturbation, and healing while navigating life changes from divorce to family chaos. The episode, true to Bawdy’s reputation, is both sex-positive and deeply human, blending comedic moments, authentic emotion, and potent reflections on pleasure, connection, and resilience.
"I invented it when I was 8... I am masturbation's number one fan. I mean, doesn't it get you through so much shit? It's like, better than Ambien. It's a coping strategy. It's a way to get your sexual needs satisfied." (03:16)

—something no lover had ever expressed, causing a revelation of self-worth.
“We were developing this sort of collegiality mixed with sex.” (10:31)
“Let’s turn this into a road trip.” (12:20)
“The greatest thing is one, coconut oil, and two, the shape of his cock turned my butt into a second pussy. It was amazing. I had always endured anal before, but this was like vagina orgasm sex, but in a place that wasn't sore.” (13:49)

This episode lives up to Bawdy Storytelling's promise: a candid, boundary-pushing, but deeply human narrative. Christina’s story weaves together sexual adventure, vulnerability, and unexpected kindness, showing how pleasure can coexist with hardship and sometimes bloom in the most unlikely circumstances. The tone alternates between hilarious, raunchy, and moving, with moments of gratitude and awe at newly-discovered possibilities.
The episode’s message: Intimacy, connection, and empowerment come in many forms—and sometimes, the wildest adventures and deepest healing begin when we follow our desire with openness and courage.
For more, listen to the full episode—because as Dixie says, “These stories aren’t memorized... This is honest-to-badness story time with true sexcapades and poignant, hilarious, transformational tales at each and every show.”
