Get Intimate with Oliver Wong

Sex & Boba - What’s the Point of Pretending to Be Wholesome When You’re Not?

Episode Summary

Oliver usually only hooks up and never dates, but for the first time, he tried a speed dating event, where he was shocked to meet wholesome queer people. Meeting the wholesome people made him feel weird about himself and old, because his dates were all Gen-Z who did not know any of his pop culture references. Teresa reveals that she also wants to change her romantic behavior. Instead of being a dominant independent woman, she fantasizes about being a submissive pillow princess to a manly guy–like a fireman. The talk eventually leads to Oliver sharing that he wants to act in porn himself but that he holds himself back for mainstream career possibilities, and this shocks Teresa who views Oliver as someone who does whatever he wants. The two then talk about escorts and porn stars they know whose lives are enriched by their sex work money, and this leads them to explore the question, “What’s the point of saying no to something you actually want to do?”

About Sex & Boba Podcast
In Asian culture, it’s taboo to talk about sex, but Asian women are the most fetishized and Asian men are the most dismissed in the sexual dating pool. Someone in the culture needs to talk about this, and who better to do it than Oliver Wong, an award-winning porn director, and Teresa Lo, a journalist for Hustler Magazine? Each week, Oliver and Teresa talk about sex, pop culture, Asian-American issues, and of course, themselves in a funny, honest way. The two Taiwanese-American comedians will bring great shame on their families so that you can learn a lot but still save face.
