1:18 Voiceover With Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.

1:21 Voiceover Hey, everybody. It is Loveline. Oh, I'm hearing a delay in my headphone here. It's Dr. Drew. This will not work at all, Chris. I'm hearing my voice about a second after I say something. Nothing but technical problems tonight. The phone number here, 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm Dr. Drew and on the phone is Adam Corolla.

1:41 Adam It's great to be a guest on my own show.

1:45 Drew Oh, this is great. Adam, you there?

1:49 Adam Yes, I am.

1:49 Drew There you are.

1:51 Adam What's happening?

1:52 Drew You tell me what's happening.

1:53 Adam Well, I'm out here in Tampa, Florida and you know the thing that's weird is I've been watching the news and they've been talking about LA like it's a tsunami area, you know?

2:10 Drew It's Armageddon.

2:11 Adam That's what they've been saying and it's really weird because you're used to watching the news and hearing all the wild reports about other cities when you're at home but it's weird when you travel and you hear about your city floating away.

2:23 Drew Well, explain to people why you're traveling first. I just alligated them so far as the phone number. So what are you doing in Tampa?

2:28 Adam Oh, hi there, brother man. I'm in Tampa doing a commercial. It's a long story but I went to a flea market in like rural Tampa this morning and every stereotype about the South put a zero behind it.

2:44 Drew Bring it to life.

2:45 Adam Oh my God, I swear to Christ, I saw a four-year-old who had one eyebrow.

2:53 Drew And a mullet?

2:54 Adam Like a four-stage mullet and like a serious stubble between the eyes from the shaving mom gave her. It's crazy over here. It's really, it's like deliverance.

3:07 Drew Well, now why you want a phone?

3:09 Adam Okay, well, let's see.

3:11 Drew Yeah, this is where the story gets good.

3:12 Adam Okay, Drew and I both have these magical devices called Zephyrs. They're like little radio cases that let you broadcast from wherever you go. They're expensive and heavy, but worth it, as you can tell.

3:26 Yes.

3:28 Adam To drag this thing out to Tampa. Anyway, it requires a special phone line. They swore up and down. It was in my room. Even, what was that?

3:38 What?

3:40 Adam Even when I checked and double checked and...

3:42 Drew Is he talking now? Well, I can't hear him. Go ahead. Keep going. There you go. What is going on tonight?

3:49 Adam I don't know.

3:50 Drew Oh, my God.

3:51 Adam Long story short, the special line for my special device that they swore up and down was in my room is not in my room.

4:00 Drew Tell them specific of the story about you had this afternoon talking to them down at the desk. We asked them, can I talk to a technician?

4:07 Adam Yeah. Well, I had a chick answer the phone when I called the desk to double check. I had this special ISDN line in my room. And they called me old fashioned. I don't trust chicks on the phone, especially when they're in a hurry. So I was like, and I did that move where I was trying to be polite because I don't want to be condescending. But I did that, can I speak to a technician, please? And then she gave me that, well, what do you need? And this is when it's frightening because you're like, I don't want to tell you what I need. I want to talk to a technician. But she's like, just tell me what you need. And I said, I need to know if there's an ISDN line in my room. And she said, absolutely. And I said, it's not a high-speed computer line. It's an ISDN line. And she said, you got it. And then I apologize for being condescending. That's the part that hurts me the most.

4:53 Drew Yes, yes.

4:54 Adam Because the one time I apologize, now I'm going to go down there and strangle her tomorrow.

4:59 Drew Just to make up for it.

5:00 Adam Just to make up. I want my apology back. I have like, I use like three a year and I wasted one on you. So, so I had the technician come up here about an hour ago and by the way, it was great because this guy is like Cooder from Dukes of Hazard. He comes up here with his tool chest and he looks at my Zephyr and he just goes, what the hell kind of computer is that?

5:30 Oh, no. Yeah.

5:32 Adam And by the way, here, they think they're not into technology. Like they think they won't take a picture with you because they think it steals your soul. So, that guy just looked at me and shook his head. And then he gave me one of these. He goes, you know this one? And how is it? When people answer this way, like do you have an ISDN line? Yep. Where is it? It's in the banquet room. Great. Let's go down there. It's locked. Like okay, why do we have to, does it have to be such a painful vivisection that goes on? Or can you just say, it's not accessible, sir? You know, we can keep going and going.

6:13 Drew Yes, they got to drag it out just to give you every bit of it as painful as possible.

6:18 Adam Right.

6:18 Drew Why is there a security guard to open up so you can get in there?

6:21 Adam Well, even if I get in there, I don't know what to do once I get in there. Well, I can talk you through it. You know the late night staff that rolls in to hotels?

6:32 Drew Oh, yes, the dead, living dead.

6:34 Adam Oh, my God. I mean, you know, you call down to the front desk at like noon and you get the guy with the English accent. You know, this is Sir Rothschild. You call down at two in the morning, you get LaWanda. You can hear her tapping her nails in the background. And she literally she's like, I S B M line. No, I S D N B M.

7:01 Drew It's like, OK, you know, because we do this, DeVry, because we do these late night shows, you and I get exposed to the last shift when we come home. We go to this radio show. So you're in different time zones. Three in the morning. Yeah, it's good times.

7:15 Adam Oh, you know what else is going down here? Daytona. Oh, it's NASCAR weekend. So so I found out at 1230, this ain't going to happen. I'm not going to be able to get this thing hooked up. So what's my first thought? All right, I'm going to hit the mini bar.

7:33 Drew Oh, so you've been getting loaded.

7:34 Adam No, no, no, not yet. Oh, so I go open the mini bar. There's no mini bar. So I said, I need my medicine. I need a nice glass of red wine. So I go, and I haven't drank yet. So I go down to the bar and I'm like, all right, I got 20 minutes before we go in the air. I'm going to sneak down to the bar. I'm on the 23rd floor. I'm going to get a glass of red wine. I'm going to put some cellophane on it. I'm going to bring it back up to the room, you know?

8:01 Like I said, it's my medicine.

8:03 Adam I only pray to Christ I don't run into some drunken Loveline fan. No. Sure enough, there's a guy down here from Daytona. He's down here for Daytona. He's a huge, oh hell, who the hell just won today? Not Junior, but Jeff Gordon.

8:25 Drew Jeff Gordon won?

8:26 Adam Jeff Gordon won today.

8:27 Drew Oh, that's great.

8:27 Adam He's wearing a Jeff Gordon jacket.

8:30 Drew Oh boy.

8:30 He is lit.

8:33 Adam I mean, this guy is in the bag. He naturally recognizes me, comes over. He's screaming at his girlfriend. He just knocked over.

8:42 Drew Do you know who this is?

8:43 Adam Yeah. He has me sign a $1 bill and a $50 bill, and then starts screaming it ain't worth $50 anymore. He's lit, he wants to take a picture, and I'm like, I got to get back up to the room, and then there's that, oh yeah.

9:00 Drew Yeah, mister, mister, yes, mister, my mighty.

9:03 Big shot.

9:04 Adam Don't have time for the little people.

9:06 Drew Did he really break into that?

9:08 Adam Oh yeah, yeah.

9:09 Oh, I'm so obnoxious.

9:10 Adam Yeah, but he's obnoxious, and then he's explaining to me how a guy at the end of the bar, he's convinced him that he's one of Dale's pit crew, and it's NASCAR fever out here by the way.

9:23 Drew Yeah, it's crazy.

9:23 Adam People are insane for NASCAR. Well, actually, they're just insane, and they like NASCAR.

9:31 Drew You sort of said the same thing two different ways. Yeah. Do you want to stay on the line here and take a couple of calls? Do you want to call it a night? What do you want to do? Well, how's it?

9:41 Adam Can you punch up some calls?

9:42 Drew Let me see. Can, Dave, can we put up line two there? Speaking of ISBM line. Here's Rachel. Let's see if you can hear this. Rachel?

9:49 Caller Yeah, I'm here.

9:50 Adam Yeah, what's happening?

9:51 Caller All right, here we go.

9:54 Drew Go right to it.

9:55 Caller Um, so I have a really bizarre question. Uh, I've been dating the same guy for eight months, right?

10:01 Caller And he's great guy.

10:02 Caller Everything's wonderful. I have a four month rule that you can't have sex till you've been together for four months. And we started having sex and every time he comes, he craps himself.

10:14 Adam He craps himself? He craps himself?

10:17 Caller He craps himself, all over himself.

10:20 Drew All over? Not just a little sort of streak, but he's really close to town?

10:23 Caller No, like he craps all over himself.

10:26 Adam This is bogus.

10:28 Caller I swear to you, I swear on everything. It is not bogus. It's the weirdest thing in the world. He won't go to the doctor because he's never had that problem before.

10:35 Adam Wait a minute, does he have irritable bowel syndrome?

10:39 Caller No, he's never had this problem.

10:41 Drew No, but Rachel, he doesn't have...

10:42 Adam You don't crap yourself solid.

10:45 Drew Yeah, a solid bowel movement?

10:47 Caller Well, I mean, it's solid too.

10:49 Caller I mean, it's not like running diarrhea or anything, but it's, I mean, it's solid.

10:53 Adam It comes out like Play-Doh through an extruder.

10:58 Caller Well, kind of, sort of.

11:00 Caller It's nasty.

11:01 Caller It's just like taking a crap in a toilet.

11:04 Caller It just comes out every time he comes.

11:06 Adam Well, that's an expression of his love. And if you can't see that, then I feel sorry for you.

11:12 Drew Well, it's actually...

11:12 Caller You want to be an extra crap into it?

11:14 Drew He leaves a gift.

11:15 Caller Yeah. It's disgusting. Do you know how many times I had to buy a new mattress now?

11:20 Drew A new mattress?

11:22 Caller Yeah.

11:22 I had to buy a new mattress.

11:24 Caller It got so bad.

11:25 Adam Well, listen, different guys have different calling cards. I used to leave a rose by the pillow.

11:31 Drew Yeah. I mean, it's just...

11:31 Caller It's just taking a crap every time your girlfriend makes you come.

11:35 Drew Rachel, so how often do you guys have sex?

11:37 Caller No way.

11:39 Caller Well, before, like, before, like, I really got annoyed by this whole situation. It was like twice a week. And now it's like not at all.

11:48 Drew And how many times did he actually do this?

11:51 Caller Every single time.

11:53 Drew How many times are we going to hang out?

11:55 Caller Okay. That's two, four, six, eight. I don't know. At least like 15 to 20 times.

12:01 Adam I thought she was going to break into the world's worst cheer.

12:06 Drew Two, four, six, eight.

12:07 Caller It was like absolutely horrible.

12:09 Drew That does sound awful.

12:10 Adam All right, Drew, I'll hold on.

12:11 Drew If it's true.

12:12 Adam Drew, put her on hold. Let's huddle for a sec.

12:15 Drew Okay. Well, it puts you on hold too, unfortunately. Can you hold? Let's poke Adam up here. Adam? Yes. I put her on hold, but you on hold too.

12:24 Adam Suggestion.

12:26 Caller All right.

12:27 Adam I've been doing this show like nine and a half years.

12:30 Drew Yeah.

12:30 Adam We've never really legitimately heard this.

12:34 Drew Not from... The women very occasionally have it with a woman a little bit, because there's a little bit more sort of re-rational for it. There's something in there pushing against the colon. You know what I'm saying?

12:46 Adam Right.

12:47 Drew The sigmoid gets pressure from the penis coming, and then something can happen. But for a guy to do it makes no sense at all.

12:56 Adam It's one thing if a guy has some sort of Crohn's disease or something.

13:00 Drew Yeah. Right. It's a bloody diarrhea. Right. But you know there are these guys that have these sort of fetishes of being like a baby, and they go get a diaper and crap themselves during sex.

13:14 Adam Well, I guess that's... I mean, if he's having a solid movement when he orgasms, I just, I don't believe it.

13:24 Drew I don't believe it either, but she didn't sound bogus.

13:27 Adam But isn't it like two different, you know what I mean?

13:29 Drew Yes, yes. That's why I'm going down the fetish path, because it doesn't make sense physiologically that that would happen just from having an orgasm.

13:38 Adam All right. So either, okay, there's three scenarios. Either this is bogus.

13:43 Drew Yep.

13:44 Adam Or he's just into this fetish.

13:46 Drew Yep.

13:47 Adam Or C, he needs to see a doctor immediately.

13:50 Drew Because of something terribly wrong with his bowels. Exactly.

13:52 Adam Yeah. All right. Put her back.

13:55 Drew Rachel?

13:56 Caller Yeah.

13:57 Drew Did you hear all that?

13:59 Caller I heard some of it, something about some fetish or something.

14:02 Adam Do you think he has one?

14:04 Caller Huh?

14:05 Adam Do you think he has a fetish?

14:07 Caller I don't, well, it doesn't seem like him, but I guess he could. That may be why he doesn't want to go to the doctor about it.

14:12 Adam Well, if you told him, you know, no sex ever again if you're going to do this, what do you say?

14:19 Caller Well, I told him, I told him, like, I'm not going to have sex with you. This is going to happen every time.

14:23 Drew But part of the fetish is these guys want to be shamed. They want mommy, you know, giving them a finger wag. You know, that's part of the whole, what arouses them. So I'm wondering if this guy's going down that path.

14:35 Caller Okay, well, this guy's going down that path. I need to venture down a different path.

14:38 Drew Well, that's fine. That's fine. That seems appropriate. Maybe he needs to venture down the path of the therapist's office. And it's funny, you know, there's people out there go, oh, he just needs to go to clubs where people are into this kind of thing. Are you kidding? This guy's never going to have intimacy. Well, if that's really what it is, and if it's a bowel problem, he needs to see a gastroenterologist who really does.

14:58 Adam It's bogus.

14:59 Drew Yeah, it's still got a bogus feel.

15:01 Adam Please.

15:01 Drew All right, Dave, you put her on hold, please.

15:03 Adam Yeah. I don't believe it, but stay out of the 69 position. That's all.

15:09 Drew Please. Please, indeed. Ralph, 22.

15:14 Adam Ralph?

15:15 Drew Ralph.

15:16 Adam Yeah, where is he?

15:17 Drew I don't know. I potted him up. Ralph.

15:20 Adam All right. Go to the next one.

15:21 Drew Yeah, I will. It's Isaac, 26. Isaac? Hey, Isaac, what's up?

15:27 Adam Hi.

15:27 What's going on, man?

15:30 Well, I'll just go ahead and ask my question.

15:32 Drew That's right.

15:33 All right. Pretty much, you and Adam were doing that show, I forget if it was on MTV or something like that. You all were doing a show one time. I remember watching one of the episodes. You all had some guy called in or maybe he was in the audience. I don't remember anyway. He was talking about his penis actually being, you know, kind of turned or some way, and it causes pain or something like that. Right. And my question is, see, I'm married and, you know, me and my wife, we're going to look into, you know, having children down the road. And sometimes like after I have sex, it's like the actual, I know it not being a muscle or whatever. I know it kind of hurts toward the base of it, you know, when it, when it goes back down. So I don't, I don't know if that is caused by the, the fact that it's turned slightly kind of to the right or, or what? I mean, it's always been that way.

16:24 Adam All right, quiet down.

16:25 Drew All right. I think relax. No, no, it's not.

16:28 Adam Did I talk to you with a swamp meat today?

16:31 Drew He's in Arkansas, not in Tampa. But he's, he's channeling your Tampa buddies.

16:36 Caller Yeah.

16:37 Drew All right. Isaac, here's the deal. The curvature is normal to a certain point. If you're born, certain, certain amount of curvature is caused by sort of trauma to the penis. And if it gets to be, you know, to point where you're having difficulty with erection, pain with erection, it's time to look into, it's called Peyronie's disease at that, at that point. Some urologists believe that 800 units of vitamin D E rather, 800 units of vitamin E will help straighten it out. I talked to urologists last week, Adam, who concurred, that does work early in the course of Peyronie's, but it's been that way a long time. There's not much can be done to straighten it out other than an operation. But that's probably not what's causing the pain anyway. The pain is just something that people get when they get spasm of the muscles of the pelvic floor after orgasm. And that's not a big deal. All right, there you go.

17:17 Adam Did you find out how much for the penis enlargement?

17:20 Drew No, I haven't talked to the guy yet. I haven't talked to the guy.

17:22 I know definitely I don't need a penis enlargement.

17:25 Drew Definitely, yeah, Adam, how dare you?

17:27 But the thing is, I mean, I don't know. I'm gonna brain enlargement.

17:30 Drew What's that, Isaac?

17:32 I'm saying, I mean, I don't understand. Like, you know, you hear certain things that I remember seeing on the show at that time where you were talking about like an operation, like, you know, it gets spread out.

17:43 Drew I just mentioned the operation, Isaac. I just mentioned it and it's only if it's enough that it's causing your partner pain, you pain or difficulty with erection. Otherwise, don't don't worry about it. They put Isaac on hold if you would, please.

17:55 Caller Good.

17:55 Drew Yes, thank you. It's hard here with not having control over the hold button, you know, you know how that is.

18:00 Adam Yes. Yeah, I mean, my pride and joy. You know, when I travel, that's when I miss the most, my precious hold button for life. It's true. I call my house, my wife picks up. I'm like, sweetie, put the hold button on. And I'm like, how are you doing? Are you doing okay? And then, you know, when I'm in the airport, I usually buy like a stuffed animal for the hold button. Yeah, I really miss it.

18:25 Drew Hey, we have a DVD winner for another, a winner from the Saw DVD competition. Oh, we do? Yes. His name and this, I'm going to give a shot at this name and I apologize if I'm not pronouncing it properly. It's Kyle, W-A-I-D-E-L-I-C-H, I think, Wydelich or, yeah, Wydelich.

18:44 Adam And he's going to Derbyshire?

18:46 Drew He's going to Derbyshire. He's going to go to the Bloodfest. Yeah, yeah, it's cool.

18:50 Adam That's awesome.

18:51 Drew And I was thinking to myself, I thought, God, you know, if I were one of these people that won the DVDs, remember we were giving the Saw DVD to everybody who got on the air that was over 18, I thought, oh, each of those guys is praying that you talk more. Just to reduce the number of contestants that they're competing against.

19:05 Adam Well, the good news is, is the giveaway was like two weeks long and we gave away three of them.

19:11 Drew Right, that's right. All right, here's somebody calling from Tampa other than you. Ashley?

19:16 Caller Yeah. Okay, about a month ago, I went into the bathroom and I realized I just got my period, but I had an appointment to get a Brazilian Bikini Wax. So I couldn't really do anything. So I went and got the Bikini Wax and then later that night, my period-

19:31 Drew Just hang on one second. What do you mean you couldn't really do anything? What does that mean?

19:35 Caller Well, I didn't think that I should probably get a wax because I would be super sensitive but I already was at the salon, so I just decided to go ahead with it.

19:43 Drew Okay.

19:44 Caller I thought that might be gross, but it was still really light because I had just gotten it. Yes. Anyway, I got the Brazilian wax and it really hurt. Then later that night, I went to buy pads and my period had disappeared and I haven't gotten it since.

19:59 Adam Maybe the Asian lady took it away. What was the nationality of the lady that gave you the wax?

20:05 Caller She was Bulgarian.

20:07 Adam All right.

20:07 Drew Well, I'll think of the Eastern Block one. Yes, the Eastern Block one, right. You have the big fat, huge, right?

20:15 Adam Yeah, it's the liaison for the female gymnastics team from Bulgaria. Right, right. You know, she walks up and down, makes sure it's lights out and that no one tries to defect. But they'd hear herself to pull hair off the vaginal area of young women.

20:32 Drew Nice. What was the cycle of life there?

20:35 Adam Yeah, it's a living.

20:37 Drew Actually, how do you think pulling hair from the outside has anything to do with your uterine function or your ovarian function? How could that possibly be related?

20:46 Caller I'm just thinking like the trauma, I don't know. That's why I'm calling you.

20:50 Drew Well, let's be sort of more realistic about this. When was the last time you had sex?

20:55 Caller About six months.

20:56 Drew Six months. So there's no chance you're pregnant.

20:58 Caller Right.

20:59 Drew No chance.

21:00 Caller Right.

21:01 Drew No chance. You want any medication?

21:05 Caller No, I take Zyrtec sometimes, but...

21:08 Drew Nothing else.

21:09 Caller That's it.

21:09 Drew And you've never missed a period before?

21:13 Caller I have. I've had a regular... I sort of have a history of regular periods, but it's been regular for the past couple of years.

21:18 Drew Okay. Well, it's becoming irregular again.

21:20 Caller Well, I did have a bladder infection about a month before that, and I was on an antibiotic before that, but I had finished a month before this happened.

21:29 Drew That can screw up a little bit, but you have a regular period. The cycling of the relationship between the pituitary, the hypothalamus, the ovaries isn't perfect.

21:39 Adam Let's talk about that Brazilian wax, though. How'd that go?

21:45 Caller It was very painful.

21:46 Adam What did it give you to wear?

21:48 Caller I had to wear these disposable panties.

21:51 Adam Little paper panties?

21:52 Yeah.

21:54 Adam And what areas do they hit?

21:57 Caller Well, first she does the front, and she used to choose two different kinds of wax.

22:01 Drew It wasn't they, it was Helga.

22:04 Caller Her name was Janna. I beg your pardon.

22:07 Adam Janna.

22:08 Caller She uses scissors and two different kinds of wax, and she hasn't get that on all fours. She just likes to bind.

22:15 Drew Oh, my God.

22:16 Adam I mean, Drew, it is-

22:18 Drew Oh, my God.

22:21 Adam It is somewhere between a gynecological exam and a park raping.

22:27 Oh, my God.

22:29 Caller Yeah. And then the next- I went back like a month later, and then she didn't even have me wear any underwear at all. I was like totally naked from the way-

22:35 Drew Well, what the hell difference it make?

22:38 Adam Do you see why you have to use people that don't speak English? Yes.

22:42 Drew They have to be non-people.

22:44 Adam Yeah.

22:44 Drew Well, you know what you don't want?

22:46 Adam What you don't want is, I went to school with your mom.

22:49 Drew Oh, my God.

22:51 Adam Yeah.

22:52 Drew They have to be recent immigrants, people that have not sort of assimilated yet.

22:56 Adam And they have to be crazy nationalities.

22:58 Drew Yeah.

22:59 Adam And you know, it's funny. It's like everyone back in Bulgaria is talking to her, and she's saying, they're going, so you're an attorney? Yeah. Yeah. Sure. But you don't even speak the language. Yeah.

23:11 Drew That's great. America's great. America's great. But do you notice how all the kind of wacky, not sex industry, but peripheral to the sex industry stuff, you know, the people that make the dildos and put the pubic hair on the dildos and do the Brazilian waxes, are always people that don't quite speak English?

23:27 Adam Yeah.

23:29 Drew I want to interview these people and go, what do you tell your family? Do you tell them you're an attorney? Or do you, did you come here for this job? Did you do this in the other country?

23:37 Adam Yeah. Well, I mean, it's just as simple as if you were going into a pharmacy to buy something personal or embarrassing, like some crab cream or something.

23:48 Drew Who are you talking to?

23:50 Adam Yeah, I know, Drew knows firsthand. I'm just saying, most people, I don't care what part of the country, what part of the world you're in, you don't want to, you want to see as far away from you as possible.

24:01 Drew Yes.

24:02 Adam As far away from your parents as possible.

24:04 Drew You want to judge our banks behind the counter.

24:06 Adam Yes, you want someone who looks like he's never spoken to anyone you may even come close to knowing.

24:14 Drew Ashley, did you get that from this woman? Was that what it did for you? I mean, was she effective that way?

24:19 Caller Yeah, totally.

24:20 Drew That was good, okay.

24:21 Adam Now, would it be weird if there was like a 21-year-old girl who was, you know, semi-attractive and was from Port Lauderdale?

24:28 Caller Yeah, I actually live, I got this done in Miami and I actually drive to this place like to get it done.

24:34 Drew From Tampa.

24:35 Oh my gosh.

24:36 Caller When I'm there visiting my family so that I don't like run to anyone I know.

24:39 Drew How often do you have to do that?

24:42 Caller I do it like four times a year.

24:44 Adam Do they have the big banner up front that says welcome strippers?

24:50 Caller Yeah, Miami is definitely the only place in Florida to get a Brazilian wax.

24:56 Drew Pardon my ignorance, what does that mean, Brazilian wax?

24:58 Caller It's like where they take everything off except a little landing strip.

25:03 Adam But they got to go backside too, Drew.

25:05 Drew Everything, Adam, everything.

25:06 Caller Everything, and LA and Miami are the only places to do it.

25:10 Adam Yeah, I know. I have to drive out to Miami to get mine. I'm too well known in LA. Oh, yeah. Humiliating.

25:18 Drew Oh, my God.

25:19 Adam Drew, could you imagine me going in for a Brazilian wax?

25:22 Caller Oh, my God.

25:24 Adam You'd see the calendar pages blowing by and the seasons changing, and a big pile of hair just getting mountainous in the corner of the room.

25:31 Drew But yeah, it'd be like an Afghan or something. There'd be women weaving stuff.

25:36 Adam The woman, it's like, what happened to Holga? Well, she died of natural causes. Now her daughter's working on me. It'd be generations of Yugoslavians working on my groin.

25:48 Drew How would they do it without taking the pelt? It'd be like a scalping. Yeah. You'd be skinned with.

25:53 Adam No, they'd have to take skin.

25:54 Drew Yeah.

25:55 Adam I'd have to be degloved.

25:57 Drew You'd be ungloved, yes. Your anus and your gluteal muscles. All right, Adam, let's go throw out a break.

26:03 Adam All right, I'm going to bed.

26:04 Drew All right, you're done for the night.

26:05 Caller This is never going to work.

26:07 Drew It was fun having you.

26:08 Adam It cost me 180 bucks on the house phone here.

26:11 Drew That's true. All right, but you're going to get that ISDN by tomorrow night.

26:15 Adam I will guarantee it will be settled for tomorrow.

26:17 Drew All right, fair enough. So we'll talk to them. All right, in the meantime, we'll be back with more Loveline after this.

26:23 Hello, this is your radio.

26:26 Loveline will be right back.

26:29 Caller Loveline is brought to you by Playboy. Why put Paris Hilton and the 25 Sexy Stars in the same issue, along with our annual music poll and Debbie Gibson's pictorial? After three months of winter, we figured you could use some thawing out. March Playboy on Newsstands now.

26:48 Drew Hey, everybody, it's Loveline, we're back. At least I'm back. Dr. Drew here, 1-800-LOVE-191. Had an interesting weekend this weekend up in the mountains here in Southern California. One of the weird things about Los Angeles is you can drive a couple hours and be at the beach, or you can be at the mountains in the snow. It's amazing. I had to come down through a blizzard tonight. If you go, those of you who are hearing about the rainstorms we're having out here, you get up into the mountains and it's just insane. This is a cloud, speaking of into the clouds, 20. Cloud, hmm, very interesting. This is Joe. Joe?

27:23 Yes, hello.

27:24 Drew How are you doing there?

27:26 I've been better.

27:27 Drew What's happening?

27:29 My husband and I have been together about 15 years.

27:33 Drew Yeah.

27:34 And about five months ago, he cheated on me with somebody that we both knew that he worked with. And...

27:43 Drew Hold on a second. How long ago did that happen?

27:44 About four months ago.

27:46 Drew How did you find out about it?

27:47 Um, actually, no, it was about five months ago. Um, he was supposed to... He called me before he got off of work and said, I'll be home in a, you know, certain amount of time. He didn't show up, didn't show up. Um, and around five o'clock in the morning, I called his work and, um, nobody knew where he was. And just one thing led to another. Another employee was missing and their family was, her family was looking for her. And, um, their family and I got in contact. And when he finally did show up in home, at home, um, I questioned him about where he had been, what he had been doing. And I didn't find out until the next day that they had actually slept together and he cheated on me.

28:40 Drew Alright, there's two possibilities here. One is that this was going on far longer than this single episode. Or he's an alcohol or drug addict who was on some kind of binge and just went out with this woman during one of the binges. Which is it?

28:52 It was a single episode.

28:54 Drew He's a drug addict?

28:55 No, it was Ace, no, not at all.

28:58 Drew Then no way, no way is it a single episode. No way. No way. So, he's a cheater. Has he cheated in the past before?

29:06 No.

29:07 Drew This is his first time as far as you know.

29:09 Yeah.

29:10 Drew All right. What do you want to do?

29:12 Supposedly what happened was she was having some trouble. He tried to, she was threatening to kill herself. He tried to talk to her and keep her from, you know, you know, to get some help. And one thing led to another.

29:30 Drew Joe, you are believing a load of crap. That is a load of crap. When somebody is threatening to kill himself, they go to the hospital and they don't, by the way, get, they don't get out of it. They don't feel better because of having an affair. They feel worse. And they're equally as badly in crisis the next day. So magically, magically, he saved me with his peanuts. Are you kidding? Joe, I mean, all right, look, what do you want to do about this?

29:56 Caller Well, we haven't had sex for about four months now.

30:00 Drew Listen, you guys need to see a marriage counselor. That is the only hope. He's lying, distorting, God knows what else he's up to. Come on, is there a possibility here? Do you guys have kids? Yeah. All right, on behalf of the kids, let's get some professional help here. This is totally out of control. He's lying to you. Who knows what he's up to? I mean, this could be any number of different things, but it is way out of control. This business of not showing up till five in the morning. Guys don't do that in a single episode. They're perfectly pristine. All of a sudden one night, they don't show up. Well, he was trying to save her because she was depressed. So what are you going to do? And then she attacked him and poor guy, he got to have sex then. I mean, what planet are you living along when you believe a story like that? Joe, either this guy's been doing stuff for a long time or this is also addict behavior. Addicts do this kind of thing all the time. Part of a binge, maybe their disease is escalating, but this is something that happens. So marriage counselor, psychologist, therapist, the two of you get in there and this time get a little bit honest here. On behalf of your kids, Ralph, 22.

31:02 Caller Yeah, I got a whistler, I'm in my job, my girlfriend's in the bathroom and I don't want her to hear. I went to a strip club last night and spent way too much money and the stripper licked her hand and put it down my pants. I was wondering if there's any way to get anything from that.

31:24 Drew Oh, Ralph, this is more, again, just like the last call, this is more symptomatic of the guilt and shame you have about doing the stuff you do. Maybe that's what you ought to look at. The consequences are just beginning to mount, that you're going to strip clubs on the QT and getting involved in these very provocative situations where people strippers are actually touching you. Yeah, certainly. Of course. What do you think? I mean, she has herpes on her mouth, if she has, she just touched your skin, right? Yeah. All right. So it has to be a skin, skin thing. If she had a syphilitic ulcer, if she had gonorrhea of the throat, if she had chlamydia of the throat, yes, those things could be, maybe not even the chlamydia and the gonorrhea, you have to have the urethra touched in order for that to happen. But did you see gigantic herpetic lesions on her lips?

32:08 Caller Yeah, it wasn't, she like, no, I didn't. And then she also masturbated and stuck her hand in my mouth. I was a little worried about that too.

32:20 Drew What kind of strip club are you going to? It's a prostitute. It wasn't a strip club, was it?

32:26 Caller What's that?

32:27 Drew You're seeing prostitutes, right?

32:29 Caller No, that was a strip club.

32:31 Drew Really?

32:32 Caller For the CD strip club.

32:33 Drew Oh my. Yeah, again, that's a way to transmit everything. Not an easy way to transmit it, but if she was getting vaginal secretions and, you know, the coastal services being touched, that's the way to transmit stuff. But you would get a sore throat, you would see sores, you would have symptoms.

32:52 Caller How long would that take to see symptoms?

32:54 Drew Up to a week. But listen, Ralph.

32:57 Caller Should I not touch my girlfriend?

32:59 Drew I'm not going to tell you what to do or not to do, but I think you ought to look into the sexual compulsions. That's the bigger issue here, that you're covertly acting out sexually in increasingly provocative and dangerous ways to the point that you're now endangering yourself and your girlfriend. That's all symptomatic of sexual addiction. I'd look at that. Maybe look up SA on the line, sex addicts anonymous, that sort of thing. Maybe they could help you out. Kelly 18.

33:22 Caller Yeah.

33:23 Drew What's up, Kelly?

33:25 Caller I recently just had sex with this guy. Afterwards I went to the bathroom, I guess you'd say, and I just was bleeding. Like not like spotting, just like full on bleeding. And it continued for a couple of days, and then like it happened a week ago, and it's still really sore, and like it's still bleeding a little bit.

33:50 Drew What's sore?

33:51 Caller I don't know what's like happening, like did I tear something?

33:55 Drew What's sore?

33:56 Caller Well, it's just like my whole like lower half is sore. Like everything is just sore around.

34:02 Drew And this was this was vaginal intercourse? You know, it just the intercourse can just stimulate bleeding. Kelly Wright?

34:10 Caller Well, I didn't bleed when I the first time that I had sex.

34:13 Drew And this was only your second time?

34:14 Caller No, it was not. It wasn't even like it was like my fifth time having sex.

34:19 Drew Are you on birth control pill? Yeah. Very confident to be bleeding after sex on the pill. OK, that's it. Happens. And so, you know, what cycle how many pills you've been on? How many times you've been cycled through this pill?

34:31 Caller Um, I've been on it since I was like 14 because I never had a period.

34:36 Drew Same exact same exact product. Same pill. Same one.

34:40 Caller Yeah.

34:41 Drew Which one?

34:42 Caller I don't know what it's called. It's like a low dosage because it's just like my period.

34:48 Drew All right. But people on the pill often get this kind of symptom and it doesn't necessarily mean anything. I don't know what the soreness is about. I mean, you might want to look into that because that is unrelated to the bleeding, I suspect. Cloud? You're 20. What's up?

35:01 Caller One second, Dr. Andrews. Rental? Yeah. Actually, I'll buy them. Yeah. Buy them? Okay. Yes. I just want to know if it's possible.

35:09 Drew We just got to try to figure out what kind of place you're working at. Ski shop?

35:15 Caller An adult bookstore.

35:16 Drew Of course. Of course. The first thing came to mind. I beg you, how dare I? Go ahead.

35:20 Caller That's okay. I just want to tell you I'm a long time listener and it's kind of good that you know I was not here for the evening. Sometimes it's good every now and then just to have you giving out your professional opinion. I love it.

35:31 Drew Thank you.

35:32 Caller And my question was, is it possible to get herpes on your ear?

35:36 Drew Sure. You can get herpes on any skin surface.

35:39 Caller Well because the weird thing is I only noticed after I got my piercings stretched in my ears.

35:46 Drew Yeah.

35:47 Caller I'm not promiscuous. I actually am very asexual. So and I don't even share a cigarette with someone if I think that they are.

35:54 Drew Well tell me what's on your ears. Both ears the same thing?

35:56 Caller No just one ear.

35:57 Drew And what do you got?

35:58 Caller And it's basically like little red bumps with little bits of pus coming out of it.

36:04 Drew No you're having some either local infection or you're rejecting the piercing.

36:08 Caller Oh no that's not at all because I've had many piercings. And one thing, 194.83.

36:14 Drew Wow 194?

36:17 Caller It's supposed to be credit or debit.

36:19 Drew The adult book or what is it? What is 194?

36:24 Caller Four videos.

36:26 Drew Oh my god, 20, 30 bucks a piece? Chris by the engineer here is shaking his head very knowingly.

36:32 Caller Oh yeah.

36:33 Drew Four videos, yeah that's 50 bucks a piece.

36:34 Caller Good price.

36:35 Caller 50 bucks a piece.

36:37 Caller He's getting a deal, 10 bucks off, 20 bucks off total.

36:42 Drew See that's how out of it I am. I didn't know there were 50 bucks for it.

36:47 Caller I've had many piercings. I know what an agitated piercing looks like. My body never rejected piercings. I have two.

36:54 Drew And we're talking about ear lobe piercing.

36:56 Caller Yeah and I've been stretching them out there at about two gauges right now. I've been getting them stretched from a 10 gauge all the way down to a 2 gauge.

37:05 Drew Right.

37:06 Caller And for some reason, my mom saw it today and she thought that it was actually herpes.

37:11 Drew And it's been there continuously since you started the stretching?

37:14 Caller No, it has not.

37:14 Drew How long has it been there?

37:15 Caller For about two days. They just started showing up.

37:19 Drew It could be. It's possible. I mean, again, there's a thousand other things that can look like that. So you need to get a dermatologist to see. It could even be just an allergic reaction. Really? Herpes there would hurt. It would give you headaches. It would hurt like hell.

37:31 Caller Itch is like hell.

37:32 Drew Yeah. It's possible. It's possible. You probably had some little bit of little tears in the skin there as you stretched it. Maybe somebody had something on their hand.

37:39 Caller Well, no. It's not actual where the gauge is. It's like around the lobe.

37:47 Drew That's where the gauge is though, right?

37:48 Caller Oh, yeah. It's like in the middle, but this is around the tip of it.

37:51 Drew Yeah, I understand.

37:52 Caller It's nowhere near the actual.

37:53 Drew Yeah, I understand. I'm trying to picture what this is, but you need to get somebody to see it who knows what these things look like. I mean, the classic description of herpes is clustered vesicles, often tiny vesicles, sometimes more blister-like size, around a red, clustered around a red base. Clustered vesicles on a red base. That's what Chris is giving me in my anatomy book. Do you want me to show you what they're like? No, I don't need to show you. Okay, last call of this segment. This is Quinton. Quinton, who's 20? 15, Quinton.

38:24 Caller Yeah.

38:25 Drew Hey, what's going on?

38:27 Caller Nothing. Oh. Yeah.

38:33 Drew Mom's in the room?

38:34 Caller No. I just want to say this show is awesome.

38:39 Drew Hold on a second. I'm afraid of what he's getting into there. Jason, 28, Jason?

38:43 Caller Hi, how you doing?

38:45 Drew Good, what's up?

38:46 Caller Not much, I had a question for Drew.

38:48 Drew Yeah.

38:49 Caller Well, I had sex with a girl in a condom a couple weeks ago, and I was curious if it's possible to get like a urinary tract infection from spermicide.

38:58 Drew Not so much urinary tract infection as a urethritis. You can get the hurts when you pee?

39:04 Caller Not really, just tingling kind of phantom pain, some itching a little bit.

39:09 Drew Yeah, that can be anything, Jason. That kind of nonspecific urethral inflammation, and you wore the condom properly and religiously throughout the whole experience?

39:17 Caller Yes, sir.

39:18 Drew No oral sex? No oral sex, is that a condom? No. Then it is probably some sort of chemical irritant. It's not a big deal. If it could persist more than a couple of days, I'd have somebody just culture it to be sure. But yeah, people complain about that pretty frequently from either from just the latex itself hitting up against the urethra or the spermicide. Well, it's Dr. Drew here tonight. Adam, as you heard, is in Tampa, and his Zephyr couldn't get hooked up because he couldn't get an ISD in line, no fault of his, because he got screwed over by the hotel. He's there with Mullitz and Mohawks. What was the other thing he was complaining about? What had he seen down there? I guess NASCAR is the thing he's most concerned about. He'll be back on Zephyr tomorrow night, and for the rest of the evening, it will be just Dr. Drew, and we'll be right back after this. Hey, everybody, it's Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191. We're gonna blow through some calls tonight because we don't have Mr. Corolla here to ramble on and on and on. So here we go, right to it. This is a Mary 23. Mary?

40:27 Hello.

40:27 Drew Hey, what's up?

40:28 Hey, what's up? Okay, I have a question. Okay, I'm about seven weeks pregnant, and my doctor says that I cannot have weeks for like, I cannot have sex for like the next three weeks or so. And I wanna know, is that true? Or, because I'm hearing other people say, oh no, it's fine, it's fine.

40:48 Drew I don't know why your doctor would lie to you. What kind of doctor did you see?

40:52 Well, it's just some doctor, not my regular doctor.

40:57 Drew But a gynecologist?

40:58 Yeah.

40:59 Drew Okay, so somebody who specializes in pregnancies.

41:01 Yes. Okay, maybe this- And this is my first birth, like, this is my first baby, and I just don't know what to do. I don't know if that-

41:08 Drew Maybe your gynecologist has some concerns about you or the way you or your partner. I don't know. I would- I don't know you. That's a very specific direction. I would follow it. Generally speaking, it is quite safe to have sex throughout a pregnancy. Later in the pregnancy, sometimes it can add some risk to preterm labor and things like that. But for the most part, it's a fairly safe activity. Now, your doctor is giving you specific instructions. Yeah. That's not a random thing. There's some reason for that. I'm not sure what the reason is. Maybe you have an incompetence. I don't know. But I would follow those directions. All right? Okay, cool.

41:41 Caller All right.

41:42 Drew Good luck now. Now, we'll try Quentin again. Quentin's 15. Quentin?

41:45 Caller Hey, what's up?

41:46 Drew Hey, what's going on?

41:48 Caller Nothing. All right.

41:50 Drew Do you want to try again with your question?

41:52 Caller Yeah.

41:53 Drew Here you go.

41:54 Caller When I watch porn, I only get off when a girl's skin is facial. Hmm.

42:02 Drew Well, I don't know how deep into this one I want to get, but your 15, your habits and preferences will change as you grow and mature, I hope. Clearly, there are guys that are into this. That's why they do that stuff. I mean, they create this stuff for you guys because you like it, evidently. So you must not be alone. I don't know of the specific implications of really being turned on by that, except that to me, it seems sort of misogynistic, meaning that it's sort of an aggressive act against women. I've got zero of that in me, so it's hard for me to understand what would be in that for someone. But I kind of keep an eye on that if I were you, Quinton, and see if you can't perhaps expand out to more specific, intimate acts rather than these aggressive acts. Justin, 22.

42:50 Caller Hey, what's going on, Dr. Drew?

42:52 Drew Not much. What's happening there?

42:53 Caller Hey, I have been diagnosed with a hydrocele on my right testicle.

42:59 Drew Good times?

42:59 Caller Yeah, and I was just wondering what could be done about it.

43:04 Drew Hopefully nothing. Do they want to drain it or take it out?

43:06 Caller Well, it's been there for like almost a year now, and he really hasn't said anything to whether or not...

43:12 Drew I wouldn't. If I had one of those, if I didn't have to, I wouldn't do anything. They can get kind of big sometimes, and you never know if it's a sperm... Hydrocele just means it's a water-filled cyst, but it could be spermatosil, varicoseal. You don't really know what it is. And as long as it's not changing, why get rid of it?

43:26 Caller Well, I mean, it's kind of embarrassing, you know.

43:30 Drew How much worse can a testicle look? You know what I mean? And it's not like she's doing a testicular exam on you. It's hard to feel. Is it huge? Is it the size of a tennis ball or something?

43:41 Caller No, no, no, no. It's like a half-inch by an inch, maybe.

43:43 Drew Oh, are you kidding? Just, Ed.

43:45 Caller What?

43:46 Drew Who's going to notice that?

43:47 Caller Would you want one on yours?

43:50 Drew Let me think if I've had them. They're very common. Okay, there you go. It's not that big a deal, and as long as doctors checked it out, make sure it is just a cyst and not anything else, it's just one of those things. There's been some suggestions that may have something to do with fertility, but for the most part, I think they just leave them alone. Seraphim 25.

44:08 Caller Hello, yes?

44:09 Drew What's happening?

44:10 Caller I had a question. Hello?

44:14 Drew We're here, I'm here.

44:15 Caller Yeah, I have a question. When I was like 15 years old, I had a guy raped by a lady who was 30, right?

44:23 Drew You were raped or sort of seduced?

44:26 Caller Seduced by a lady and molested by her. She seduced me and right now, I'm having a problem with getting a girlfriend. I don't know if it's because that's been bothering me right now.

44:37 Drew Well, it's an interesting question, Seraphim. There's no doubt that if you study males that were acted upon by adult women, 15 or under, if you were 15 or under and an adult came on to you and had sex with you, there's much more trouble with behavior, antisocial behavior, drug addiction, depression, and intimacy problems. But the question then becomes, well, did that episode cause it or did this woman just see you as a good victim, and you already been victimized by somebody else, and the soil was already set. The cement was not yet dry, but it was clearly set in a particular mold. So were you sexually abused or were you abused in any fashion prior to this woman doing this to you?

45:20 Caller Well, see, really, I don't know, because, you know, at the time I was drunk.

45:25 Drew No, I don't mean that day. I mean when you were a child.

45:29 Caller No, it never happened.

45:30 Drew No one ever hit you?

45:31 Caller No.

45:32 Drew No one ever hit you? Never?

45:33 Caller No.

45:35 Drew None of us struck you? Were you neglected or anything growing up?

45:39 Caller No, I wasn't.

45:41 Drew So this is just, and how come, I guess 15, you might just think, did you think it was cool at the time?

45:49 Caller No, I did at first.

45:50 Drew Yeah.

45:51 Caller And you know, now I have some regrets about it.

45:54 Drew All right, what do you want to do about it?

45:57 Caller Well, I know, see, my question was, I wanted a tip, how should I forget about this and move on, you know, and get a girlfriend?

46:04 Drew All right. Well, getting a girlfriend, so to speak, is not about forgetting about this. It's about being able to tolerate intimacy. And I still get the feeling, Sarah, from the intimacy is a difficult, a tall order for you. The important thing is to make what we call a cohesive narrative out of these traumatic experiences. And the only way really to do that is with some kind of therapy. So, I would urge you to see someone do a little talk cure and this thing should be taken care of. I suspect there's more than just this, though, that needs to be kind of looked at. We'll be back with more Loveline after this.

46:34 Caller Okay, so I know there's nothing wrong with me. So, what's up? So, I was like you and I used to think that these datelines were totally cheesy.

46:40 Caller But I tried everything else and thought, what the hell? So, I called the dateline and actually met a cool guy. Believe it or not, other normal people are out there looking too.

46:49 Caller 877-889-DATE.

46:52 Caller 1-800-LOVE-191.

46:57 Caller This hour brought to you in part by AXE.

46:59 Caller Experience the AXE Effect.

47:10 Drew Hey there, it's Loveline. I'm Dr. Drew. The phone number here, 1-800-LOVE-191. And, you know, there was a call we had a couple weeks ago. I can't remember the details of it, but it sort of stayed with me. And it was a guy who was concerned. He may have been, I can't remember the details. He may have been exposed to HIV. And I just want to bring this up, since Adam's not here to say how boring this is, I can indulge myself. And that is we have protocols now for antiviral medication and for health care workers when they get needle sticks, when they believe that they've been stuck with a needle from someone who has HIV. And getting on these antivirals right away really reduces the risk that you're going to get the HIV infection. And by the way, you A-holes at Spin Magazine that spent all those years talking about how HIV doesn't cause AIDS, that is the craziest load of S I've ever, ever heard. Now it's at the point where we're doing things like somebody gets exposed to HIV, we suppress the virus, the disease doesn't transmit, we control the disease for years now by suppressing the virus. When I was in training, the viral loads were just uncontrollable. People get their first episode of Pneumocystis pneumonia, they'd be dead in six months. Now they don't even get Pneumocystis pneumonia. I guess we don't know what we're doing. And in the history of medicine, by the way, there's never been anything like that in history. It took us about a thousand years to figure out what caused syphilis. With this disease, we've figured out where it came from, what the causative agent was, what the natural history is, and it come up with some great treatments, all in about ten years. That is unbelievable. Anyway, enough of that. But the point is, if we're bringing this up, is that there is now some suggestions that people that have non-occupational exposure, that is to say people that think they've been exposed to someone in a sexual act or sharing a needle, anything like that, they really believe there's a high likelihood that they've been exposed to HIV. They may want to talk to their doctor about taking these antiviral medications for a while. If there really was a possible exposure, you can dramatically reduce the risk. Here is Rebecca. We're going to go on with Loveline now. Rebecca 22. Rebecca, what's up?

49:16 Caller Basically, I'm wondering about male sexuality. My boyfriend is 25, and we've only been together since October. We knew each other for seven years. We knew in high school, but basically, it's like his sex drive is really low, and it's just been the only conflict in our relationship. Then I'm not understanding, you know, like...

49:35 Drew Wait, wait, wait. Hold on.

49:36 Caller Hold on. Hold on.

49:38 Drew His sex drive is really low?

49:40 Caller His is low, and mine is apparently high. I was on depot for a little while, and that really screwed me up. I did like mood swings, and I had like consistent bleeding, but that really decreased my sex drive. But it doesn't matter. It was still greater than his.

49:52 Drew Okay.

49:53 Caller When we do have sex, and it lasts for a short amount of time, I get really frustrated, and when I don't climax, I have like really emotional... Like it really affects me big time, and I don't... I get...

50:03 Drew Oh, that's interesting.

50:05 Caller It's horrible.

50:06 Drew And what is it you need from him in order to climax that you're not getting?

50:09 Caller It's time or... He says that he wants to do other things to make me climax. Like I can do it either way.

50:16 Drew What do you mean either way? What does that mean?

50:17 Caller Vaginally or orally.

50:19 Drew Okay. So does he do oral sex?

50:21 Caller Sometimes, but he says he likes to do it, but you know, he's kind of lazy.

50:25 Drew Oh my God.

50:26 Caller Like last night, he just... or actually it was this morning, I'm sorry. We had sex, it was quick, and then he just kind of laid there and he's like, I didn't think of asking you what you wanted, I thought we wanted it quick. And I just, you know, I just get really emotional and we fight and we're actually broken up right now. We're actually going to this place to get my stuff.

50:43 Drew Why don't you stay broken up, Rebecca? It sounds perfect.

50:46 Caller Because our relationship is like absolutely wonderful besides it and...

50:50 Drew No.

50:51 Caller It's like the only, it's like...

50:52 Drew No way. No way it's that wonderful.

50:55 Caller Bogus, you're calling it...

50:56 Drew No, it's not bogus. It's just not that wonderful. I mean, I understand that it's nice and I'm sure you have some wonderful friendships too, but you need something more than that from your boyfriend, it would seem to me. Is this, how many boyfriends have you had?

51:07 Caller I've had a lot, but he hasn't had, but like three girlfriends and I'm his first ever.

51:12 Drew How many boyfriends have you had? Exactly how many?

51:16 Caller 20, 30. I go through boyfriends like toilet paper. It's, that's probably like a huge issue as well. I have underlying emotional issues from, you know, I'm sure you, I study psychology a little bit. I bet you can bring up Freud or the possibility that my dad was in and out of my life. I mean, I'm sure that affects it quite a bit. I was like-

51:34 Drew Why don't you deal with that?

51:35 Caller I'm sorry. I went to the psychologist and he said, you know, we have classes for depression and we can get you on some drugs. That's the only thing he offered. Cause they said they don't do counseling. It's through Kaiser. I don't know if I can say that.

51:45 Drew That's a psychiatrist, not a psychologist then. If you went counseling, you have to pay for yourself to do that. But the fact is that, yes, rather than you being left by men now, you're making sure that you leave men. In other words, this thing that was so uncontrollable and painful to you, the dad that moved out of your life and abandoned you, now before a guy has a chance to abandon you, you're going to abandon him. There you go.

52:11 Caller That's my pattern.

52:12 Drew Yeah, that's your pattern. And until you find a guy you can actually be genuinely intimate with and have a real relationship, and this one is even like a half a relationship, but I don't even feel like you really even care about him. That's perfect for you though, because you don't want to really care about guys. But the relationship is perfect because he's not even in it. He's not, there's no emotion. So it's perfect.

52:32 Caller Everything else, I honestly, I've never really loved that or him.

52:38 Drew Oh, the phone's cutting out. Damn.

52:40 Caller Oh, sorry.

52:41 Drew Did you say you've never loved a guy as much as him?

52:43 Caller I've never loved a guy. I've never been in love.

52:45 Drew Yeah, but this guy's perfect because he's having no emotion. He's not in at all.

52:51 Caller He has every emotion besides sex. Every emotion.

52:53 Drew No, no way. No way. No way, because you wouldn't be in. If you wouldn't be, you know, to have somebody actually available to you emotionally, you'd have to reject them. You'd have to leave them.

53:03 Caller I've broken up with them for insane reasons.

53:07 Drew Well, maybe, but there's a, or maybe there's, maybe you're the one not working with the sexual aspect of this relationship. You need to kind of.

53:13 Caller I can see that as being true. That's, you know, if he messes up once, then I break up with him.

53:17 Drew And you freak out. Maybe, maybe rather than being such a ball buster, the thing is to give him a little bit of a chance here to say, here's what I need, or it freaks me out. And go ahead and try to actually have the relationship work. I don't know which it is for you, Rebecca. Either, either it's that there's really only two possibilities because because of your pattern, I can sort of predict this. One is, I mean, there are other variations, but hearing you, this is what I think. That either this guy's not involved, he's having very little way of an emotional connection. And that's why he seems perfect for you. Or he is actually involved and you've got to sabotage it. So if he is actually involved, you might want to try to stick this one out. But I don't know. Crystal, 16.

53:54 Caller Hi, thank you very much for taking my call, first of all.

53:59 Caller My question is, I kind of like after giving that guy a low job, I got kind of queasy and I don't understand why.

54:10 Drew I don't know, sounds kind of yucky to me. What's the, I mean, why does it surprise you? Was it a guy you were really into?

54:17 Caller Yeah.

54:19 Drew I don't know, it's a very emotional thing. It's intimate, it's intense. I mean, were you using drugs or alcohol at the time? Tell me more, did you vomit?

54:29 Caller Uh, no, I just, like, I totally felt like I was about to throw up and...

54:36 Drew A, there's always the gag response and that might be making you sort of want to throw up. B, you can kind of hyper, you don't breathe normally during an episode like that and that can make you dizzy. And finally, it's sort of, it's sort of, it's sort of, vomitious by its nature. I mean, why does it surprise you? It was particularly with somebody, was it somebody you've been involved with for a while?

54:56 Caller Um, no, actually.

54:58 Drew Yeah, of course. It's a very intense situation. Crystal, why are you surprised that this would be, you have a physical reaction? That's what I'm surprised at, that it's something you wouldn't expect to have.

55:10 Caller Oh, I mean, it's like, I've never done that before and plus, like, um, from what I've heard, around, uh, can you really, like, I shouldn't have had that happen.

55:23 Drew I know, no. Crystal, what you've heard along is a lot of BS. You're 16, you're engaging in this incredibly intimate act. Are you kidding? Your body, even though your brain is decided it's what you're supposed to do, your body is telling you otherwise. Your body does not lie, okay? Relax. This should be something you do with somebody you're really involved with in a long-term relationship, not something... Listen to your body, it's telling you something. For crying out loud, you're only 16. Relax. Drake, 34.

55:50 Caller Yes. How you doing, Dr. Drew?

55:52 Drew What's up, David?

55:54 Caller I have a two-and-a-half-year-old son. And ever... Well, when he was born, basically, he would suck on his tongue, essentially, when he would sleep. And now, two and a half years later, there is periods of time during the night when he'll wake up crying, because, to me, it seems like he's not being able to breathe. I mean, it seems like as if he's shoving his tongue up to, you know, sucking on his tongue so hard that he's trying to breathe through his nose, which is natural, but he doesn't seem to really be able to breathe through his nose.

56:25 Drew What does his pediatrician say?

56:28 Caller We've asked them several, several times, and they said, you know, humidifiers and, you know, like, mentholatum and all these other different things. And it's like, OK, can we get some real answers here?

56:38 Drew Because I mean, it sounds like there's a lot of different things that can cause that there's that's when when people take the tonsils and adenoids out, the adenoids are what cause the obstruction in the nose and make it difficult for kids to to to breathe. But you don't necessarily want to take them out there. Lymphatic tissue, if you don't have to. Allergies do this typically. Is he is he asthmatic or anything?

56:57 Caller No.

56:58 Drew But you know, you may want to ask him to see if you can get a referral to an ear, nose and throat doctor or pediatrician who does your nose and throat work. And you look into this a little bit further if you want to take it further. But it's very common for kids to have this kind of thing. Jason 24.

57:12 Caller Hi, Dr. Drew.

57:13 Drew Hi, Jason. What's happening?

57:15 Caller Hey, man. I'm a big fan of you guys, man. You guys do a great job, man.

57:18 Drew We appreciate that. What's happening there?

57:21 Caller I've been taking Zola for about four years now. And just recently, they upped my doses to 100 because I've been having more anxiety attacks.

57:33 Drew Yep.

57:34 Caller And now, I don't know when I'm hungry until I'm starving. And when I eat, you know, when a normal person eats before they're stuffed, you know that you're full somehow.

57:55 Adam You know what I'm saying?

57:56 Drew Psychiatric medications commonly screw with your appetite centers. Zoloft, not so typically, and not really in the manner you're describing, but yes, the Zoloft is in the class of serotonin reuptake inhibitors. They can suppress your appetite. They can increase your appetite. In your case, it's sort of causing a difficulty in reading your appetite, so really experiencing your appetites normally. Are you gaining weight on it?

58:19 Caller Yeah, dude. That's why I'm calling.

58:21 Drew All right, you got to talk to your doctor about it. You may want to talk to him about topamax. Sometimes they add that to the Zoloft and it can suppress your appetite, okay?

58:29 Caller Topamax?

58:30 Drew Topamax, T-O-P-O-M-A-X. Ask him about that as a way of compensating for this appetite problem, the Zoloft. Are you panic attacks settled down?

58:38 Caller Yeah, yeah. Like ever since I upped it, my panic attacks have been a lot better.

58:42 Drew All right, so it worked. It did what you wanted it to do, but there's an unpleasant side effect there, so you got to kind of deal with that. This now is Desi, who is 25. Desi?

58:52 Caller Hi, hello.

58:53 Drew Hey, what's happening?

58:54 Caller Hey, yeah, I was wondering what you thought about hypnotherapy as a form of therapy for sexual abuse and abandonment issues and stuff like that?

59:08 Drew It's a nice fantasy to think that somebody can just put you to sleep and work on you and make your brain better again, but no, unfortunately it doesn't do much other than sort of help you with relaxation, anxiety, that kind of thing. I mean, think about it. Are you kidding, Desi? There are millions of people out there with the problem you have. If all we had to do was send to a hypnotist, they'd magically take these things away. Are you kidding? Well, you think we'd withhold that from people?

59:30 Caller Is there anything that hypnotherapy is good for?

59:32 Drew What's that?

59:33 Caller Is there anything that is good for that?

59:35 Drew Well, it's not good for nothing. It has uses, but for a very complex psychiatric condition, it would be part of sort of an array of interventions. It's simply as a soul intervention, it would be really sort of malpractice for somebody to use that as a singular intervention for something as complex as abuse. However, there is something kind of magical happening called EMDR, which is a eye movement treatment where they have you go through some of your memories and feelings while you focus on something and move your eyes a certain way. And it seems to, there's a lot of literature that suggests that it may affect the wiring in your brain in a very rapid way to help you get over things like post-traumatic stress disorder, phobias, these kinds of things. That's about the most magical thing we have. Otherwise, it's crunching out long-term kinds of therapy, okay? EMDR, looking at that on the web, EMDR. This now is Tom, 16. Tom, what's up?

1:00:32 Caller Oh yeah, what's up?

1:00:33 Caller First I want to say, I think you're awesome.

1:00:36 Drew Thanks, Tom.

1:00:36 Caller And I'm reading your book right now.

1:00:38 Caller I haven't finished yet, but.

1:00:39 Drew God bless you.

1:00:40 Caller I have a question about football brain damage.

1:00:43 Drew Yeah.

1:00:43 Caller Did you play football?

1:00:45 Drew I did.

1:00:45 Caller Yeah. And so.

1:00:47 Drew So did Adam, I'm sure you know, he talks about it all the time. He never gives me a chance to talk. I was captain of my football team. Yeah.

1:00:54 Caller I know I've had at least one concussion. Yeah. And I was wondering, like, what kind of brain damage could happen? And what are the risks and stuff?

1:01:02 Drew Well, the single concussion, there's concerns about it. And there's definitely an association between dementia and concussions, usually not one concussion. And especially concussions in a sort of rapid sequence, one after the other, like, let's say, the three are back into a game before you fully recover from the last one, there's grave concerns about that. And if you look at Muhammad Ali and the sort of condition he's in, that's thought to be caused by thousands of little injuries below the skull from the trauma of being struck over and over again. There's concerns about that kind of injury in football players as well. But a single concussion, I mean, think how many millions of football players are out there that get concussions, doesn't seem to correlate with that much. There's people studying it though, I'll tell you, and they're concerned about it. But the important thing is not to get another one.

1:01:49 Caller Okay.

1:01:50 Caller All right. Thanks.

1:01:51 Drew I think we lost Tom. Okay. This is Cali. Kale? Kale. All right. What's going on?

1:02:00 Caller When I was 18, I went down on my girlfriend, you know, and the next day I got mono. And now I have a really bad fear of going down on my girlfriend.

1:02:12 Drew This is the same girl that gave you the mono?

1:02:14 Caller Yes.

1:02:15 Drew Wow.

1:02:16 Caller And like now it's just, you know, if I even try doing it, I get really sick to my stomach, you know, I don't even want to have an intimate relationship.

1:02:27 Drew Hold on, hold on here. Hold on. She had mono and then she gave it to you through you having oral contact with her?

1:02:35 Caller Yes.

1:02:35 Drew She had mono. It didn't tell you?

1:02:38 Caller No, she didn't even know.

1:02:39 Drew No, she didn't have it. You got it somewhere else. And for some reason you've now associate that with this whole intimate act and you get these crazy symptoms.

1:02:47 Caller Yeah.

1:02:49 Drew She did not give it to you. What makes you think she gave it to you? She has to have had it to give it to you.

1:02:53 Caller Right.

1:02:54 Drew She didn't give it to you. By the way, it takes about a week for it to come on.

1:02:58 Caller Oh, does it?

1:02:59 Drew Absolutely. It's not something you get the next day.

1:03:01 Caller Okay.

1:03:02 Drew So come on. Relax. And what else is going on? Do you have anxiety problems?

1:03:08 Caller No.

1:03:09 Drew Well, clearly you do because you've got these crazy ideas and you very quickly sort of get phobic over something. Do you wash your hands a lot? Are you worried about your health, your body, that kind of thing very, very fastidiously? Yeah. How many times a day do you wash your hands?

1:03:23 Caller Anywhere from 10 to 12 times.

1:03:26 Drew All right. So you're sort of in the obsessive compulsive range. That's what this is about. You have sort of an OCD. And an OCD is not that big a deal for many people. It's something that can be used to your advantage, right? You study hard. You're very structured with your life. You can be places on time. But if you start to have mood problems or have crazy thoughts or have to go through crazy rituals in order to feel comfortable and not anxious, and you start convincing yourself of stuff like your girlfriend giving you diseases so you can't be intimate, that's the time to look into it. Let's see here. We've got Jeff is 25.

1:03:57 Caller Jeff?

1:03:59 Drew Jeff? There you are.

1:04:01 Caller Yeah, this is Jeff.

1:04:02 I have a varicose vein on the side of my penis.

1:04:07 Drew You don't have a varicose vein. You may have a big vein. Yeah, it's the dorsal vein of the penis. Right. Everyone's got one.

1:04:13 No, but it's to the right and it bulges out abnormally and it happened about three weeks ago.

1:04:20 Drew Is it hard? Like, is it rock hard?

1:04:23 Caller Sometimes it gets rock hard.

1:04:24 Drew No, no, no, no. Sometimes you can get a clot in these veins, believe it or not. A clot can form in the vein of the penis and then it will feel like a some sort of rope in there, like a real hard rope that's there all the time.

1:04:38 Caller Yeah, but it's been there for like three weeks now and it's not really going away and I notice it bulges out when I urinate or if the masturbator has sex.

1:04:50 Drew No, no, this is the night of, this is the OCD night. This is everyone preoccupied about nominal and insignificant health issues. Have a doctor look at it. If it's what I think you're describing, it's just a normal vein that you just finally noticed and you're obsessing about now. Now guys can get a sudden clot forming in that dorsal vein and that's actually kind of a serious thing and it can mean that there's maybe something wrong with your coagulation system. But what you're describing sounds completely normal, but I can't know for sure unless you have somebody look at it. Dax 30. Dax?

1:05:21 Caller Hello.

1:05:22 Drew There you are. What's going on? I can't stand that. Matt 18.

1:05:29 Caller Yeah. Thanks for taking my call. You mentioned a couple of weeks ago that you have pretty bad anxiety. I had.

1:05:38 Drew I guess I'm a little bit that way still, but I was really bad when I was in college.

1:05:41 Caller Right. You said that there's various ways of dealing with that very effectively.

1:05:45 Drew Yeah, of course.

1:05:46 Caller You didn't really go into detail about that, and I was wondering what that meant.

1:05:49 Drew Well, initially medication. They live in a time when the various kinds of anxiety and issues around anxiety can be managed. I'm resentful that somebody didn't offer me something like that when I was suffering in college, and there wasn't that much available when I was in college. Now, I think it was the point I was making, is that now we have so many good treatments. When you really are suffering with overwhelming panic and anxiety, you're paralyzed. It's hard to function. And if somebody could offer you some medication, at least transiently, at least briefly, can give you some relief, it would be, I mean, just, oh my God, the suffering that could have been avoided. Now, the long-term issue with anxiety is more about, again, it depends on the individual, but the more about what I think primarily what I call competencies of self, the ability to sort of cope, the ability to regulate your feeling states, the ability to have sustained interpersonal intimacies, and those take longer to sort of sort out, and that's where therapy kicks in while you, hopefully, then hopefully you get off your medication. See how that would work?

1:06:48 Caller Well, do you have any recommendations of what medication I might look into?

1:06:51 Drew Depends what kind of anxiety you're having, what's happening?

1:06:53 Caller It's mostly social anxiety.

1:06:55 Drew Well, the one that's been approved for that is Paxil. Yeah, but do not, listen, I'm talking to you for a minute and a half on the radio. Go see a psychiatrist, get a proper evaluation. You need what's called, people have a very strange way of thinking about their mental health. This is your brain. Your brain has various ways of developing pathological syndrome, let's call them. They each have specific diagnostic criteria to know what you're dealing with. They each have a specific natural history and a specific treatment. So you can't know what you're treating, you can't get a treatment to know exactly what you're dealing with. You have to see somebody well-trained, competent who can diagnose you, okay? Not you diagnose yourself, they have to, not me in two minutes on the radio, somebody face to face psychiatrist needs to do that, okay?

1:07:39 Okay, thank you very much. I appreciate it.

1:07:40 Drew All right, Matt, good luck now. Okay, this looks interesting. This is Andy, 21.

1:07:46 Hi.

1:07:47 Drew Hey, what's up?

1:07:50 My boyfriend came on my stomach yesterday and I let it sit on me for maybe no more than, I don't know, 10 minutes.

1:07:58 Drew Nice.

1:07:58 Caller And yeah, yeah, well, you know, and got in the shower afterwards, rinsed off, came out, and you could see exactly, and like it had marked my skin. It wasn't raised or anything. It was just like a red. All right.

1:08:14 Drew Okay, Andy, hold on one second. I know you're out there in that horrible storm. I can hear that she's out there, she's in Los Angeles, but hang on one second. We will get back to your call. We got to take a break. Be right back.

1:08:24 Caller Loveline, we'll be right back.

1:08:27 Caller Loveline is brought to you by Playboy. What do Paris Hilton and the 25 Sexy Stars plus a very grown up Debbie Gibson, plus our annual music poll, all in the same issue add up to Spring Fever. Catch it today in the March Playboy on Newsstands now.

1:08:44 Drew All right, we're back to Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191. Carolla is stranded in Tampa. You heard his story at the opening of the show, his Tale of Woe, where he was misled about the ISDN line. And God forbid that he could solve that problem on his own. Not Mr. Carolla. Anything with wood, he'd take care of, no problem. Hinges? In fact, I got a hinge problem talking to him. But we were talking to Andy, who told me, she's 21, that she left some semen on her stomach, 10 minutes, went and took a shower, and lo and behold, the outline of the semen and the insurer was filled in too, was what, red?

1:09:17 Caller It was.

1:09:18 Drew Red. And when did this happen?

1:09:21 Caller Yesterday.

1:09:21 Drew Yesterday, is it still red?

1:09:23 Caller No, it's not only lasted for about maybe two and a half hours.

1:09:26 Drew Yeah, some of it's a chemical irritation, some of it can be an allergic reaction. I've heard of this complaint before, it doesn't usually mean anything, you know what I'm saying? It doesn't imply that you're necessarily going to have an allergic reaction to him if there's vaginal exposure. It doesn't imply there's anything wrong with him necessarily, it's just one of those things. Are you what we call a topic? Do you tend to have skin allergies and nasal allergies and that sort of thing?

1:09:51 Caller No, not at all.

1:09:52 Caller Never?

1:09:55 Caller None.

1:09:56 Drew Not especially. How's the weather out there?

1:09:59 Caller Absolutely horrid.

1:10:00 Drew It sounds like you're in a monsoon. Yeah, it's bad, this is in Los Angeles tonight, is it crazy, has the lightning and thunder hit yet?

1:10:07 Caller No, I can't believe I'm driving.

1:10:09 Caller Oh my.

1:10:10 Drew I was just talking to Ninja Chris here, I said, how much harder, I mean, if it rained just a little bit harder, we'd actually be swimming. You couldn't, there'd be no air left, the air would just be just water, that'd be that.

1:10:20 Caller Yeah.

1:10:20 Drew It's crazy. Now, Annie, is this new boyfriend?

1:10:23 Caller Oh, no, it's not, and it's never happened before. I've never let it sit on me for that long before.

1:10:28 Drew Yeah. Again, I wish I could give you a specific explanation. It's obviously not something that people are necessarily going to study a lot because it's no real, but it has no implications, so you don't need to worry about it, okay?

1:10:40 Caller Okay, great.

1:10:41 Drew All right, good luck.

1:10:42 Caller Thanks, bye.

1:10:43 Drew Bye. Dave 22.

1:10:45 Caller Yes, I ate out a friend at work. She's a co-worker. I...

1:10:52 Drew Hang on a second. Yeah. Right, like as Adam would say, junior college. What's that? Go ahead, keep going, yes. You ate out a girl.

1:11:00 Caller Yeah, I mean...

1:11:01 Drew Finishing school probably. Yes, go ahead.

1:11:03 Caller What kind of work is this? I'm just wondering if, I mean, if there is...

1:11:06 Drew Chris has an interesting question. What kind of work do you do?

1:11:09 Caller I do security.

1:11:11 Drew And she, is she another security guard?

1:11:13 Caller Yeah.

1:11:14 Drew Just sort of middle of the night bored and why don't we go down on each other kind of thing?

1:11:18 Caller No, no, it was this morning.

1:11:20 Drew Oh, this morning. I beg your pardon, I was way off, way off.

1:11:22 Caller No, no, it was this morning when I was at work. But I'm just wondering if there's anything that I could take, just in case she had anything like any disease, like is there anything I could take, like orally or an injection or anything that, just in case I don't get anything that she had, kind of heard something like today that she's kind of like dirty.

1:11:43 Drew Yeah. Yeah, I guess there could be something called Zithromax that we give for chlamydia prophylaxis, something called ceftraxone or rocephan we give for, although we're getting a lot of resistance to that now for gonorrhea. And we give that to people when they've been raped, so I guess it's something you could. They wouldn't recommend it unless you have symptoms. It's something that, you know, there's nothing specific you're likely to be at risk for with what you've done, but if you get any symptoms at all, I would certainly look into it at that point. Sean at 23.

1:12:12 Yes, I haven't had my period for like a year, and every time I'm around women that are having periods, I start to bleed a little bit, but as soon as I'm out of that like household, I stop.

1:12:24 Drew Nice.

1:12:26 Caller And I was wondering if there could be like, could I have ovarian cancer? I haven't been to OBGYN for like two years.

1:12:32 Drew Well, okay. A lot of questions here. Are you on medication?

1:12:35 Caller No.

1:12:36 Drew And did you have irregular periods before they stopped?

1:12:39 Caller No, but they were irregular, but they were really heavy all the time.

1:12:45 Drew Do you have irregular periods before they stopped?

1:12:48 Caller Yeah.

1:12:49 Drew Yes, that's the answer I was looking for. You're on birth control. Not, no, they're really irregular, really heavy. Yes, they're irregular. And is that why they put you on birth control pill?

1:12:57 Caller Yes.

1:12:58 Drew And what did they put you on?

1:13:00 Adam Orthotri-cycline.

1:13:01 Drew And when did you stop that?

1:13:03 Caller About three years ago.

1:13:05 Drew Okay. And then your periods were irregular again after that, and then they stopped?

1:13:09 Caller Actually, they were regular until about a year ago, and then they just completely stopped.

1:13:14 Drew Have you ever had ovarian cysts?

1:13:16 Caller No.

1:13:17 Drew Are you overweight?

1:13:18 Caller Yes.

1:13:19 Drew Okay. Well, women that are overweight will have very irregular periods, but the adipose tissue, just like with men, will produce a lot of estrogen, and that causes you to not cycle normally. Sort of flattens out your cycles. So your doctor may have to put you on something to keep you cycling, or you may want to lose weight and get on a diet, do all those good things. So your body will sort of kick back into a healthier pattern. Dax, 30. Dax? Dax is gone. So, Sarah, 20.

1:13:48 Caller Hi.

1:13:49 Drew Hey, what's happening?

1:13:50 Caller Not much.

1:13:51 Caller How are you?

1:13:52 Drew I am good.

1:13:53 Caller Good.

1:13:54 Drew Sort of relieved. I'm here. It's dry in here. I don't have Corolla's nasally drone. I'm looking to engineer Chris, who doesn't have just a puss on. He's actually smiling, looks relaxed. Relaxed. Yeah, relaxed. Aren't you afraid he's going to come at you for something? Right, right.

1:14:09 Caller Yeah.

1:14:11 Drew All right. So what's happening?

1:14:12 Caller My question is, I've been on lithium for bipolar disorder for about four years. I was wondering if you know of any sexual side effects that that would have?

1:14:23 Drew Not typically. Any psychotropic medications can have sexual side effects. And certainly, you must have been bipolar manic, right? And when you're manic, you're kind of hypersexual. And when they bring you down with the lithium, people sort of miss those highs and sort of wonder, are am I normal now? Tell me what your effects are.

1:14:43 Caller I just kind of feel like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no This is for my personality that...

1:15:07 Drew Yeah. Are you on anything besides the lithium?

1:15:10 Caller I take boost bar. Right around my period, I take a form of boost bar, like the week before to help with depression.

1:15:18 Drew Anything else?

1:15:20 Caller No, and the lithium that I take is a form of lithium. It's like lithobid, so I get...

1:15:25 Drew Lithobid, yeah. All right, so the boost bar and the lithobid, the boost bar can cause some sexual side effects. So that might be part of it. Maybe it's that you're depressed, you're more depressed than you really realize, and maybe that's part of it. And I guess it could be the lithium, though I certainly would be loathe to encourage you to talk to your doctor about getting off that, because if you can keep your bipolar stable on just lithium, it's a pretty good thing. I would talk to more in terms of, talk to the doctor about the possibility that maybe you need a depression treated, and maybe the boost bar is causing some of these sexual side effects. This is Christina, 30.

1:15:57 Caller Yeah, hi. My name is Christina. I'm 30.

1:15:59 Drew Hey, what's happening?

1:16:00 Caller I have a question. Yeah. A couple, maybe. First, I want to say thank you for providing the service that you do to the public.

1:16:07 Drew It's quite all right. We're quite happy to do it.

1:16:09 Caller You really, I think you help a lot of people, even if they aren't able to connect to you via telephone. It's difficult.

1:16:17 Drew It is, but we hope that people sort of identify with some of the callers.

1:16:21 Caller Yeah.

1:16:21 Drew You know what I mean?

1:16:22 Caller Okay. So my my deal is about shaving and hairlessness and having a nice kind of hair, sort of like groomed pubic area.

1:16:34 Drew Good times. Yeah.

1:16:36 Caller Yeah. No, it's nice for me. I like no hair.

1:16:40 Drew Okay.

1:16:40 Caller Clean and nice. But occasionally you get the mutant ingrown hair.

1:16:49 Drew The mutant ingrown, uh-huh.

1:16:50 Caller I mean, like most of them aren't. So the one that is is mutant.

1:16:55 Drew I see.

1:16:55 Caller Okay. And it's easier and less painful to shave.

1:17:00 Drew Than what?

1:17:01 Caller Wax.

1:17:02 Drew Waxing. Is it waxing?

1:17:03 Caller Waxing is like they're going to put wax on your head. You're going to have your head covered with this wax and all your hair is going to be pulled.

1:17:13 Drew And that's not your head.

1:17:15 Caller No, everywhere.

1:17:16 No, not even.

1:17:17 Caller No, it's like it's not.

1:17:19 Drew Christina, Christina, Christina.

1:17:20 Caller It's not my head.

1:17:21 Drew Okay. Christina, Christina.

1:17:23 Caller It's not.

1:17:24 Drew Would you get the ingrowns only when you have the waxing?

1:17:27 Caller No.

1:17:28 Drew You get the ingrowns when you have the shaving, right?

1:17:30 Caller Not tons of ingrowns, just like.

1:17:32 Drew But it's from the shaving. It's from the shaving.

1:17:34 Caller Mutant ones. I go with grain.

1:17:37 Drew Well, you're going to get them from shaving. That's correct. That's it. If you don't want them, that's why you get the waxing.

1:17:42 Caller Well, I don't want the waxing.

1:17:44 Drew Well, then you get the ingrowns. Did you have other questions, Christina? You had something else?

1:17:49 Caller No, that was it.

1:17:50 Caller That's it.

1:17:53 Caller The rest of my shaving doesn't ever ingrow.

1:17:56 Drew I know. But it will eventually. It always does in those parts of the body. And yeah, hot towels, sometimes antibiotics, if they really start to get debauchler, but that's it. Tony, 19. Maybe the beautician may have some ideas, things you can do, but there really isn't much medically can be done. Tony, 19.

1:18:15 Caller Hey, Dr. Drew, it's an honor talking to you. What's up, man?

1:18:18 Drew My pleasure, Tony. What's going on?

1:18:20 Caller I have herpes on my face and I was wondering if you could tell me how I can make it less discreet or less horrible.

1:18:26 Drew Nice. Where do you have it?

1:18:28 Caller It's in the bottom half of my lip, all the way to the left. You know where the crack is. Yeah, it's in that area.

1:18:37 Drew All the way to where? The bottom of your lip to your crack.

1:18:41 Caller I'm sorry, man. I had a few drinks, but when I open my mouth, it's on the lower side to the left.

1:18:49 Drew Oh, inside your mouth?

1:18:51 Caller Yeah. Yeah. And outside.

1:18:53 Drew And outside. All right. How often do you get them?

1:18:56 Caller I've only had one breakout.

1:19:00 Drew Are you sure? When did you have that?

1:19:04 Caller The first week of November.

1:19:07 Drew All right. Well, here's the deal. There are a ton of antiviral medications out there. Famvir, Acyclovir, Azovrax, Valtrex. Those three medications are very effective for these outbreaks. At the first hint of the tingling you get on it, it can either abort the attack or shorten the duration of the attack. But that is all you can do. There are some people suggest also the topical agents. Some people will respond to the topicals of Azovrax, the ointment. You can try that as well if you don't want to take the pills. This is Kate 18.

1:19:35 Caller Hi.

1:19:36 Caller Hey.

1:19:38 Caller There's like, I have two little bumps on my hand. Like if I slightly agitated or touch it, they inflame and it doesn't sting, it doesn't itch or anything like that. And I have no idea what's going on.

1:19:51 Drew I'm having trouble visualizing this. You mean on either side?

1:19:54 Caller Excuse me?

1:19:55 Drew You mean on either side of it?

1:19:57 Caller No, there's one on like just on one side and it's a little bit longer and then at the top. And I don't know what it is or what it came from. And then also I was meant to mention that my two inner lips, like the lower part, they're very bumpy, almost like, like I guess like skin on a chicken type or a rooster, you know, the little bumps.

1:20:18 Drew Right, right, right. Well, that's normal. But sometimes you can get these glands that become inflamed, these little like Bartholomew's glands or cysts can form. And that's probably what you're describing. Are you overweight?

1:20:31 Caller No.

1:20:32 Drew What was that?

1:20:33 Caller No.

1:20:33 Drew No. And do you get sores or abscesses in your skin anywhere? Or do you get infections easily, that sort of thing?

1:20:40 Caller Actually, no, but my health has gone down quite a bit lately.

1:20:43 Drew What does that mean?

1:20:44 Caller I'm very susceptible to getting sick easily. Actually I don't eat that healthy at all anymore.

1:20:48 Drew How come?

1:20:50 Caller I just kind of wanted to lose weight. And so when I do eat, it's not that healthy at all. And so I've been taking vitamins.

1:20:58 Drew Are you vomiting?

1:21:00 Caller No. No, definitely not. I'm just.

1:21:01 Drew You're just starving.

1:21:03 Caller Yeah, I'm refusing to feed myself.

1:21:05 Drew All right. Well, that's there's a name for that, right?

1:21:08 Caller Yes.

1:21:09 Drew OK. And that will affect your health. And yeah, that may be the whole story here. And you're sort of preoccupying about things that are kind of normal. I'm surprised that you're sort of that worried about the sort of the appearance of the labia and things. If you those little bumps you're talking about towards the top of the vulva, maybe just some hot compresses, hot towels would take care of that. Right. OK.

1:21:29 Caller OK. And they will see the thing is I've just never had this before.

1:21:33 Caller And I'm not severely underweight.

1:21:34 Caller I'm actually a little bit over the weight.

1:21:36 Drew I know. But there's no way you can describe to me what I need to hear in order to understand what this is. So if you're going to figure it out, you're going to have to have a doctor actually examine that. And that's fine. It's not a big deal. Let's take a look at it. There may be antibiotics that can help with that. But I wouldn't be too upset with you. You're not describing anything that you should be particularly alarmed about. Michelle 23.

1:21:54 Hi. I have had a crush on my cousin for a couple of years. And he's a third cousin. And we was I mean, third cousin.

1:22:05 Drew What do you mean by that? Third cousin.

1:22:06 OK. Well, his mother and my mother are first cousins.

1:22:10 Drew Yeah.

1:22:10 So his mother and I are second cousins, which makes him my third cousin.

1:22:16 Drew So he's the first cousin's child. Yeah. First cousin of your mom's child. Got it.

1:22:22 Yes.

1:22:23 Drew And I always thought that was second cousin.

1:22:25 No, because if your mom and her first cousin are first cousins.

1:22:30 Drew That's the second cousin.

1:22:31 All right. OK.

1:22:32 Caller Yeah.

1:22:33 Caller OK.

1:22:33 Caller Sorry.

1:22:33 So you get it now?

1:22:35 Drew I'm with you.

1:22:36 Caller Awesome.

1:22:36 Caller OK.

1:22:37 So, Aziz, last night he and I finally kind of talked about it. And it turned out we both have had a crush on each other the whole time. And not that we really planned to pursue it at all because we're both in relationships. And mostly our family would look down on it anyway. And I don't think it could really work out together. But I kind of wondered, legally, what does the law say about third cousins?

1:23:02 Drew I think the laws are only for first cousins. We looked into this once, and I think that's what we've discovered. And obviously, you want to have as much genetic diversity as possible. And so bringing the gene back around to meet again, even though there's only one cousin removed, pretty close. But that in and of itself shouldn't be your only barrier to engaging in this. The other thing is, think about the stability of your family overall and how weird it's going to be if this doesn't work out.

1:23:30 Caller Yeah, that's another concern of ours, so our family.

1:23:36 Drew We call it the Thanksgiving Syndrome. What's Thanksgiving going to be like if you guys have been having sex?

1:23:41 Yeah, I guess that wouldn't be very good.

1:23:43 Drew No.

1:23:45 And I just kind of wondered, besides my family and besides the legal issues, what is the society kind of generally, what's the temperature in society about?

1:23:57 Drew What's the part of the country you're in? And I think different ethnicities and different cultures have different ideas about this. But I think generally people would be a little uncomfortable with that. It's close to consanguinity. It's a little close. It's a little close. Michelle, what's wrong with the guy you're with?

1:24:18 Caller Oh, nothing wrong with the guy I'm with. And the problem is that I think it's a different issue because not only do I have a crush on him, but then there's another cousin, another third cousin I have a crush on that I just met. And I'm wondering if the problem isn't that, oh, I just happened to have developed a crush on my cousin that I never grew up with. We just met a couple of years ago. It's just odd that I'm finding that I'm having crushes on these guys that I'm related to.

1:24:47 Drew It is odd, but I bet you have crushes on lots of guys.

1:24:51 Caller Yeah, I do.

1:24:52 Drew Okay. How about you learn to sort of interpret your attractions? You know what I'm saying? Let me ask you this, for instance. Were you ever traumatized growing up? What did you have?

1:25:03 Caller Let's see. I was molested when I was 10 by a friend and then 14 by a stranger.

1:25:13 Drew All right. So there's all this sexual trauma and sexual abuse. And so boundaries are already going to be kind of a problem for you. Right? You're going to be kind of porous. And every time, first of all, you're going to be attracted to guys that aren't such good guys. So anybody that you're attracted to, really, you're going to have to kind of stand back and really take a good look at them. Do you understand what I'm talking about?

1:25:31 Caller Yeah, I can kind of see that.

1:25:32 Caller But then it leads me to wonder, well, then if I'm, if the right, then there's the right guys. So am I not attracted to the right guys?

1:25:40 Drew No, you're, A, you're not attracted. You're not super attracted to the right guys. I'm sure there are some right guys out there you're kind of attracted to, but you're too busy with the highly arousing situations and these porous boundaries where everybody's a potential, you know, sex act for you. No, calm down, keep your boundaries intact, keep your boundaries. You need to practice boundaries in your family for god sakes. These guys are just kind of, they're seeing you as somebody who's available and they're on the move. Maintain, what? Yes, I'm sure of this.

1:26:11 Caller No, because one of them, he has no idea. And the other one, we both, he's talked about it last night and it's not like something he wants to pursue. It's something that just kind of happened to both of us because we just had many others.

1:26:25 Drew Listen, it would make sense that that were the case if it weren't you I was talking to. But you're a trauma survivor, you have bad boundaries. Here's all I want you to do. Practice setting boundaries at least in your family of origin. Set boundaries there. Say no to things. Don't act out on attractions. Study your impulses before you act on them, okay? Okay. Okay, don't do this in your family system. And then maybe start looking at your other relationships too and your other with your peers and things and perhaps find ways that you can kind of refine your choices. I bet you'll be a much happier life if you learn to do that. Okay, it's Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm Dr. Drew, Adam Corolla back on his Zephyr tomorrow night. He's stuck in Tampa and we'll be right back.

1:27:10 Caller Loveline, Loveline, with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.

1:27:14 Caller We'll be right back.

1:27:35 Drew Dr. Loveline, I forget about that phone number. We're going to wrap up with these next few calls. Let's see. Let's talk to Richard, who is 28. Richard, oh, I beg your pardon. The technology is ahead of me. Richard. Yep. What's going on there?

1:27:53 Caller Not much. Been with my wife for about seven years. We've only been married about six months. Have an issue with stamina, lack thereof.

1:28:03 Drew How long are you good for?

1:28:05 Caller Say that?

1:28:06 Drew How long are you good for?

1:28:08 Caller How long am I good for? It depends on the day, I guess. Three minutes sometimes, maybe five minutes.

1:28:13 Caller So it's redefined.

1:28:15 Caller She has never brought it up at all because I seem to do well everywhere else. So and it's more of just kind of my own personal sort of thing, you know?

1:28:25 Drew You know, some people define premature ejaculation as dissatisfaction by the partner, not by you. In other words, by some standards, you wouldn't have premature ejaculation because she isn't concerned about it. And for me, is she orgasm with intercourse or with oral sex?

1:28:43 Caller With both.

1:28:44 Drew Both. And it's mostly because of your quick draw, it's mostly with oral sex with you guys?

1:28:50 Caller Yes, for her, definitely. I would say that, you know, for Adam's sake, you know, taking the bullets out of the chamber and stuff like that works somewhat. And I have to do math in my head to keep my mind off it. But as soon as she makes any noise, of course, my attention is drawn to what's going on. And that doesn't help too much.

1:29:08 Drew What about a couple of bullets out of the chamber?

1:29:13 Caller I don't know how long that would take. I guess I'd have to plan on it. I'd have to know that.

1:29:16 Drew Right. Richard, that's actually the right way to think about this. You're trying to solve a problem. And like any other physical issue, you've got to learn how to work around it and work with it. And I'm not sure. You may find that if you're able to last longer, she may not like it. She may start saying, are you done yet? She may be one of these women that likes oral sex a lot. And is okay with five minutes or 10 minutes, whatever. I would go ahead and try to get it to lengthen out, because if something makes you feel bad, I know you'd rather go along for a little bit longer. But I wouldn't...

1:29:49 Caller She never said anything about it. So it's definitely something for me.

1:29:54 Drew Yeah, I understand. That's all right. But try doing the math again. I think that's the way to go about this. Michelle, are you there, Michelle?

1:30:04 Caller Yeah.

1:30:04 Drew Michelle? Hi, what's going on?

1:30:05 Caller Okay. I'm here. I'm ready. I'm in Hollywood.

1:30:09 Drew Yeah, what's up?

1:30:10 Caller And I want to talk about a disappointment that I had in my life. Okay. And see what Dr. Drew thinks about it.

1:30:20 Drew You're on the air right now. Let's go. What's happening?

1:30:21 Caller Okay. I met somebody back in May on the Internet. And he seemed to be the greatest guy in the world I ever met.

1:30:33 Drew How did you meet?

1:30:35 Caller It was through an Internet site.

1:30:38 Drew Internet dating service or just a chat room?

1:30:41 Caller It was, no, not a dating service. It was actually a sex site.

1:30:48 Drew Okay. Well, anybody that's trolling in a sex site already is a little suspect, right?

1:30:54 Caller Exactly.

1:30:55 Caller So it's already suspicious.

1:30:57 Drew And by the way, nobody makes you feel better than a sociopath. That's how they get through life, by making people feel great about themselves and feel good about their relationship. But when it really push comes to shove, they don't, you don't exist. So they'll do whatever they got to do for themselves.

1:31:14 Caller Okay. Well, I had suspicions and this person told me they were divorced for two and a half years. Well, we went out for eight months and we got crazy while, you know what? And basically I was starting to get suspicious more and more because he wasn't answering the phone, whether it be the landline or the cell phone.

1:31:38 Drew And to make a long story short.

1:31:40 Caller Make a long story short, we were coming from the farmer's market in Hollywood and I decided when the phone was ringing, he wouldn't answer it. I decided to call his bluff and I told him I went down to public records and I know that you're not divorced. Now I did not even in a million years.

1:32:01 Drew Okay, the show ends in 40 seconds. You got to get to your question.

1:32:03 Caller Okay.

1:32:04 Drew The guy's a sociopath, the guy's a dog, he's married, he's lying to you. What's the question?

1:32:09 Caller My question is why is he putting a restraining order on me?

1:32:17 Drew Probably to sort of keep you out of his life so he doesn't have to deal with the consequence of what he's done.

1:32:22 Caller Exactly, because he's a dog, right?

1:32:24 Drew Yeah, yeah. What are you going to do? You've got this guy. This should be a case in point for anybody listening about strolling on sex lines or on the internet. This is the kind of thing that can happen. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that happened to you. I really am. But it sounds like you freaked out a little bit about this, that you're sort of drawn to chaos. Maybe just nice, boring, quiet relationship would be a good thing for you. Not somebody that knows somebody, somebody that has a history. You know when your friends have a history with somebody they know well, and kind of settle down with something kind of quiet. We unfortunately have to go to break right now.
