Speaker 1 (00:01):
Amy and TJ presents Aubrey O day covering the Ditty Trial.
Hey everyone, I am so excited to be back with you.
I am covering the Didty Trial.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
This is TJ and Amy presents me Aubrey O day
covering the Didty Trial. I have with me today Doctor
Vivianna Coles, who has dedicated her career to helping couples
and individuals navigate emotional and physical intimacy challenges since two
thousand and three. Now, Viviana, I don't want to come
off to psychotic here, but I am a Vivstan I
(00:35):
am the biggest fan of Married at First Sight, and
I know you are on for six seasons sharing the
wealth of information that you have in regards to how
to create successful positive relationships. Specifically, why I really wanted
to have you here with me today is this headline
making phrase. The freakofs has become a world wide discussed
(01:02):
and mostly I notice made fun of topic because likely
a lot of people don't fully understand what they are,
what they look like, what they mean, what they mean
in positive experiences versus negative environments. I kind of want
to just really get inside the freak off no pun
intended and start to actually discuss.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
What all of the elements are.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And so just to kind of start us out, I'm
a sex positive human.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I know you are as well.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
And for people that don't necessarily understand the exact definition,
it's basically just someone who supports and affirms people's sexual interests, kinks, fetishes,
whatever their interests are, with no judgment and of course
with consent.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
That's the big one.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, yeah, yes, And with that being said, I want
to ask you before we get into breaking down situations
in the trial, let's do myth versus reality quick shots
real quick, just so we can kind of establish a
norm for the audience in regards to some of the
behaviors that they're hearing during this trial.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So yeah, just so everybody knows, I'm not professionally or
personally associated with any of the parties involved in the trial.
But all the information I'm going to be sharing today
is from my twenty plus years of working with couples
and individuals as a licensed marriage and family therapist and
a certified sex therapist. And yes, like Aubrey, I'm definitely
sex positive. So we'll be talking about it in that way.
(02:25):
But first and foremost, we have to know about sexual
experiences being consensual and they need to be safe and sane.
So that's where we're coming from, at least from my standpoint.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, so, actually, let's go into miss versus reality just
a little bit before we get into the details of
the trial. Is it true or not that people who
enjoy orgies are traumatized?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
That is false. There are many many, very you know,
functional people who like to explore with others sexual pleasure,
sexual desire, and all sorts of kinks in a very
safe way that has nothing to do with trauma.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Does group sex mean your excitement about group sex or
participation and it mean that you lack morals?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Absolutely not. That is false. For a lot of people
who are trying to stay connected with their partners, they
want to experience other people in a way that will
not mess with their own connection, and having group sex
can be one way that they explore that as long
as there's lots of conversations going on in a very
safe way.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Is kink a result kink or fetish a result of
sexual damage or psychological damage as well?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, it can be. It can always be something that
you've adapted from psychological damage. But that is not always
the case, so I would say it's.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
A maybe okay, and is having different different things we're
about to discuss non traditional sex.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Is it emotionally harmful?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It can be emotionally harmful. I wish I could say
yes or no, but it can be depending on the
actual circumstances for each of the partners. But for most people,
exploring in different ways using all sorts of accessories and
tools and fantasies can be very healthy.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Okay, So let's actually just dive right into the trial
now that we've established some myths versus realities. A lot
of people don't necessarily understand the layout of a lot
of the freak offs that have been discussed in trials.
So what I want you to first kind of explain
to people is the difference of voyeurism, or even just
(04:44):
I think it could be under the guise of voyeurism,
cuck holding.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Can you explain to the audience what cuck hoolding is?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yes, So, cuck holding is a term that refers to
when a partner and enjoys and get sexual gratification from
watching or knowing that their partner is experiencing a sexual
behavior or sexual pleasure. With someone else outside of their
own sexual experience. So they may be in the room,
(05:14):
they may be across the country, they may just be
getting information via text in between kisses, whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
And two of those things that you just named actually
were what was happening in Diddy's case in regards to
being in the realm masturbating during those scenes that he
was dictating. Then there also was when he was put
on FaceTime. It was discussed in trial to watch or
observe something. Now, because you've discussed cuck holding in a
sex positive way, I'd like to address it in a coercive,
(05:45):
abusive way. When does cuck holding become something that is criminal?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I would say anytime that someone is doing something against
their will for fear of harm to themselves or even
being threatened their life being threatened, if they feel like
there's retaliation that might happen, whether that's real or imagined,
those are things that I think. I'm not an attorney,
(06:11):
so I don't know if it's criminal, but I think
it's very unhealthy and dysfunctional at the least to want
to make someone do something that they don't want to do,
especially in a vulnerable and sensitive place like sex.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
And all of those things that you have established as
part of coercive abuse have been established in this trial
through testimony of various people that had sexual experiences with Diddy.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You know, they've alleged that those things have all occurred.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Another term that we've heard discussed, and it's kind of
a hot topic, one is I first learned it as
golden showers. We're hearing it as urinating. You know, the
escorts were told to urinate in Cassie's mouth and at
times even for her.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
To choke on it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I do want to kind of point out for people
that had such outrage or visceral reactions or even humor
humorous reactions to that This is not the first time
we have been introduced to this idea. It was talked
about during the Tiger Woods cheating scandal. It was talked
about during President Trump's alleged encounters in Russia.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
It has been talked about on Sex and the City.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I think in like two thousand when the guy from
mad Men came on and wanted.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
To do it with Carrie, with.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
The politician, and she was like loved him, and she
thought he were you know, this could be this could
be everything. She wanted, but he just had that one
little fetish sho kink of wanting to have a golden shower.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I think it was on that episode in the Shower.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
As a sex positive person myself, I will I can
actually discuss with my inside information from being a bad
boy that this. This was a conversation that was had
amongst many of the key players that bad Boy, many
people that were in positions of authority over me, with
a lot of the artists. It was discussed in a
(08:14):
sexy way. It was discussed as like after I, you know,
potentially get fillatio, I like to men like to then urinate,
and if I can do all of the above on
the girl, it's like so hot because I it's this.
It's the dynamic that sometimes is very necessary in sexual relationships,
(08:35):
the power dynamics, right, Like you know, I know women
that like soft, gentle love. I'm hard and aggressive in
work every day. When I get into bed, I like
to be a little dominated and I like to be
handled in a consensual, non coercive way. But I like
to be spanked and I like a little choking sometimes.
(08:56):
I have dabbled in the golden shower area, just simply
because of hearing all the men and bad Boy discussing
it being something that was so hot, and there were
some did it with their wives, some did it with
the women, they cheated on their wives with whatever. Everybody
kind of got into this discussion. It was the first
time I remember really actually hearing the male perspective that
it was kind of exciting and interesting and something that's
(09:21):
like personal, that's like this secret that seems like not
normal that you share with somebody that only you two
have together. And I'd like you to kind of get
into when it's a sexually positive.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Thing potentially, and when it's a criminal thing.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
So it depends on if you're negotiating, whether you're the
one that's urinating on your partner or they're urinating on you.
Either way, I think it's so important to be able
to really reflect on why it is that this is
important to you. For some people, and I think this
is probably more likely and under these scenarios that you
(10:00):
talking about, it's a sign of dominance. It's a sign
of almost like ownership or establishing you're my partner and
your mind. And so for a lot of people, that
is a really erotic thought to have that sense of
dominance and of connection in that way. For some people,
(10:23):
you know, they do that with blood bonding with others.
There is you know, their species involved with others.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Scat play, Isn't that what that's called.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I have a friend that does it, so I got
to learn all about that world. That one's a little
much for me. But again, I'm sex positive, so no judgment.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah. Well, and I think for a lot of people
who are doing these things as part of their non
traditional but more routine sexual play, they've done a lot
of the research of how to do these things in
a way that isn't going to make somebody extremely ill,
and they know how to stop when someone says no,
or if even in the middle of playing, if the
(11:01):
person says no, it means no and all things need
to end. And unfortunately, with these very random, stranger experiences
that some people are experiencing, they can't really trust each
other enough to know that they're they're in safe hands.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, or in like Cassie's case, she's young, she is groomed.
And there's a part of the dialogue that I think
a lot of people miss that I noticed in the
testimony where she said in the beginning days when she
would entertain this that when he when he shared with
her that he was into this behavior that is, you know,
maybe abnormal to most people. She said, when she was
(11:42):
first entertaining it, you know that she she wasn't enjoying it.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It doesn't seem like much or ever she was.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
She I think she learned to express enjoyment for it
in order to get attention and reaction from the person
that she loved. But there was an exchange where she said,
I didn't want to push back and tell him I
didn't like something because I didn't want him to think
he was like weird or I was judging something that
he likes shared with me than that he likes doing.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
That's very personal, and that's very common practice in any
sexual relationship.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yes, it's like people see these isolated stories as oh,
this is they see it as all so dark. But
imagine being in your bed with somebody that you're falling
in love with and they tell you something potentially happened
in childhood.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It could have been triggered from any things.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
That could just be something fully positive, not rooted in
anything traumatic. But either way, the sharing of something so
personal from somebody that is so powerful and nobody really
knows personally like that. I mean it always there's this
through line with Cassie that she's always wanting to just
be closer, to just be with him, to just be
in his presence, to just get to have more time
(12:52):
with him.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
And it seems like a lot of his victims share that.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, a lot of people in sexual relationships, as they're
getting to know each other, as they're getting to understand
what feels good and feels pleasurable in healthy relationships, especially
in long term, established relationships, they can grow with each
other and they can almost initiate different things, and maybe
(13:16):
for most long term couples they don't. The way that
their sex life looked at the very beginning is very
different than twenty thirty years in.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Sure, And there's a through line with him that always
exerted extreme power. There's a humiliation tactic behind a lot
of his fetishes. Within the testimony that I'm noticing, bodily control, degradation,
life threatening fear. There was like the choking element, let's
just go to that specifically, that shows a desire to
(13:45):
exert control over a life and death moment. In sexual dominance,
if you could choke on something you could die. That's
a life or death moment. It should be taken seriously
as that. I know that it sounds a bit dramatic
or extreme suggest that, but if you choke for too long,
you're gone.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well, and people who are in the BDSM community and
who are really researched on these things they do they
do like rehearsals. They have communication that makes it to
where you're not actually at risk typically for real, real danger.
That is not what gets a lot of these people off.
(14:26):
It's more about the pleasure that's derived from being vulnerable
with someone. And so the idea of it just being
something that you do spontaneously is very reckless for a
lot of people to try that in their own bedrooms.
Even with something as more commonplace as anal sex, I'm
always telling my clients you need to prepare your body
(14:48):
for that or you can risk some severe and serious
physical harm and potential trauma. So if we're talking about
even more.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Which is why I wanted us to have this conversation,
because when need to start discussing things like anal sex,
like urinating on somebody, these things are kinks.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
They're fetishes.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
If you're a sex positive person and you're able to
be able to have access to information and understand all
the ways to properly prepare yourself.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
If both you.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And your the people or person that you're engaging in
sexual behavior with are all consenting, then understanding how to
prep your body and prep the setting enough to understand
where everyone feels safe and good about themselves. Now, with
that being said, I wonder on the flip side, because
it's obvious that force, coercion, and many other things were
(15:36):
being exerted during most of the sexual experiences that the
people testifying against Didty are alleging in regards to the
coin being flipped and looking at Ditty, now, we obviously
have not seen him his side, present his story, or
given us any understanding other than they have suggested that
(15:59):
he is a swinger and that these types of behaviors
are like how it is in the celebrity world, and
it's just an elevated lifestyle and everyone kind of knows
what it is. I would suggest that I absolutely disagree
with that, and I am somebody who was in that
world and came from the regular quote regular world and
lived in that very extreme world. But beyond that, I
(16:21):
wonder almost even puff who was once just a regular
human like everybody else, and then became as he likes
to allegedly be by many people that testified be known
as the.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
King, the god amongst men.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Did he at some point start potentially in is it possible.
Did he started in a sexually positive place, or maybe
he was exposed to things in his childhood that made
him understand sex in.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
A more.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Forward way, but that at some point he just loved
the plot.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
You know, I can't really speak to that because I
don't know anything about him or his childhood, but I
can tell you that for a lot of people who
are struggling to find healthy ways to express their sexuality
in consensual ways, I think the piece that is missing
for a lot of them is understanding true empathy and
(17:24):
being able to understand what it's like to be the
recipient of some of these actions and caring about their experience. So,
if you're out there and you're in a sexual relationship
and all you're about is how it feels to you
and what works to you, chances are you're not in
a very healthy sexual relationship.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
And I think the.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Piece that's missing for a lot of people in relationships
where they're experiencing repeated coerced, and you know, the piece
that's missing is not having the access to education, the planning,
the choice and decision making that every sexual experience should
have in order to truly be healthy and bonding.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I have a question for you.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Our Diddy's proclivities a little bit more common than people realize,
because I at one point was invited in it, just
living in LA to a celebrity sex party and we
had to dress up and were mass Obviously, I had
no desire or intention to have sex there, but I
definitely wanted to go assess the scene so I could
tell everybody about it later.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Well, shame on you, Aubrey.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
That is no.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Viv You just said, we have to give information to
the people. They need to know what it looks like
and how to keep themselves safe if they choose.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
To be in the environment.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
So as somebody I signed an NDA, I'm not naming names,
but I will say that everybody was consensual.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
It was very performative.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
There was an actual performance that occurred prior to them
opening up the rooms up stairs, and kind of when
I observed all of it, I would I've just felt
like I didn't understand it, and it didn't make sense
to me because I didn't see love in any of it,
and I didn't see that any of them knew each
other well enough that they had a respect for someone
(19:18):
that they were allowing inside of them. I just it
couldn't I couldn't lock into it. And you can't observe
for too long in the rooms, they kick you out.
They think you're being a little bit strange if you're
just watching. Watching was fascinating, but almost fascinating in a
way where my soul just felt like hurt, but not judgmental,
just hurt that I wish. I wonder why there's something
(19:42):
in me that can't just look at sex as sex
and just that.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, I think to answer your question, I think it
is a very common thing to have sex parties all
over the US and all over the world. The difference
is that there are there are rules that people.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, and specifically in regards to this trial, you can't
pay for prostitutes to come have sexual experiences across state lines.
These are part of the charges. You cannot pay for
any of that. You cannot bring people across state lines.
You cannot have situations that are at all even seemingly
(20:21):
not consensual. No force or coercion can ever be used
in any of those types of situations. Those are all
unhealthy and if it proven criminal.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
And sometimes they won't allow any excessive use of drugs
or alcohol. They don't want anyone being able to forfeit
their ability to consent even halfway through the party. Certainly
there are no phones filming recordings involved.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You think in origin is as much fun without a drink?
I think if I had a margarita would be more
fun than sober.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Have you ever had one?
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
You do you mind saying if you.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Have or not?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Or you're not going there with it. I'm so curious.
I'm such a fan of you. I just want to
know how you get down viv.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Well, like, let me tell you. I think it's I
think the way that I've heard that some of these
parties go down, the attention to detail and the care
that the organizers put into it for everyone to have
a really positive experience. I can see why people really
enjoy these parties. And I will or will not confirm
(21:27):
or deny if I've ever been to one or seen one.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Oh man, you've definitely seen one. I can read it
from your face. For those that you can't see this
beautiful face in front of me, She's definitely seen what
I'm calling it right now, allegedly. Okay, so potentially, I
guess I think the best place we can leave this
off at is it's kind of ingrained in women, at
(21:50):
least in my experience, that potentially, in order to keep
a man happy in long term relationships, especially with very
powerful men that I've access to anything and everything. I've
dated a few of those, a good amount of those
in my life, there is maybe potentially this feeling that
you have to up the ante. I'm sure it happens
(22:12):
just in everyday life and everyday relationships that aren't living
at such extremes like in the celebrity world, but.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
This idea that you kind of have to up the anti.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I mean, I was told by my mom at a
very young age, learn how to give a good blowjob.
If you ever want a husband, you're not gonna get
one if you don't give them head. A lot of
men just really prefer head over having sex, and so
I try to tell girls all the time when they're like, oh,
I don't give blowjobs, I don't like it. I sometimes
like have this little fear in my heart, like, baby girl,
learn how to like it, or your man's gonna potentially
(22:44):
want it from somewhere else. And I ask a lot
of men in my life, do you guys prefer sex
or blowjobs? I hear blowjobs more than sex a good
amount of the time.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
And I think a lot of women feel the same way.
Where they love to you know, they prefer being each
now you go down on them.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, is there a pressure to up the anti when
you're in situations like as a.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Woman, if you're wanting to keep your man.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I think we should definitely establish this for all women
out there. What is a reason why upping the anti
would not be a way to keep the man?
Speaker 3 (23:14):
So, anytime you're in a long term relationship and you
want it to be sexually satisfying for the long term,
you really want to have a lot of chicks up
your sleeve. But none of those have to be extremely painful,
physically uncomfortable, potentially morally disgusting to you.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Or humiliating or humiliating, or something that you feel like
you have to really kind of disassociate in order to
be a part of.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
These are all signs that it's not the right thing
for you, and it could be that it's not the
right relationship for you. But being able to say and
know what you want and being able to communicate what
you do want and what you don't want is always
going to be a great skill across the board in
any of dynamic And if you're thinking that you keep
having to up the anti at the anti, it might
(24:04):
be time for you to see a sex therapist that
can help you with the relationship stuff, because dissatisfaction in
the bedroom can obviously lead to lots of issues outside
of the bedroom. But when it can come to a
place where you're feeling like you might be being used,
being abused, being coerced, being even just harmed in any way,
(24:24):
it's not a good sign. It's a sign that something
is really wrong and you should listen to your gut.
You know, there's people out there that call it fem
tuition and you should definitely be listening to that.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
And also just to clarify as well, you know, this
is not just for women. This is also for men.
There are relationships across the board in every category where
there is consent and coercive situations occurring, and most of all,
you should in my opinion, and I've been somebody who
hasn't hasn't utilized my.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Sexual toolbox to.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Attract more love my way from somebody that I wanted
or did love. It doesn't age well. I don't suggest it,
and if you've done it, don't beat yourself up about it.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Let it go.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
But understand what part of you desired that behavior and
correct it and throw it out. Get into therapy right
now if you don't know how to do that. If
therapy isn't available, we have such great access to people
like viv.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
The Internet, this podcast in general.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I mean, you can listen to many different things that
are for free, that cost you nothing, that can help
advise you as to what may be going on in
regards to why you're wanting to utilize those parts of yourself.
But sex is fun. Being sex positive is great. It
doesn't always have to imply any type of trauma or
(25:52):
any type of instability. It can come from it. It
doesn't have to come from it. It's a place that
is healthy and even can be driven in those spaces excitement, ecstasy, happiness.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Without drugs, and all of the above.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
But if you're ever in any of those situations and
you don't want them, or you're only there because you
think that as as somebody that's wanting to attract someone else.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
You're needing to up the ante.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
You got to get out of that, and you got
to get away from that because there is no anti
you will ever be able to up that will give
them enough happiness to stay with you. As we have
seen with Cassie and many people that have taken the
stand and alleged abuse, this man didn't seem to be
happy with any of them in any long term situation.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
It is an endless road.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It does not lead you anywhere good, and you would
be better off at stopping jumping off and hitchhike yourself
back to a place where you can start over and
create the proper boundaries in your sexual life and your
sexual thoughts and mentality, which can be as freaky as
you want, but just make sure that it's consensual and
(27:08):
not just consensual with the partner, but consensual with yourself,
your mind, your boundaries, your alignment for yourself. Make sure
that all parts of you, your soul, your mind, your
spirit are consenting in the behaviors that you participate in
as well.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Have you ever been Pete on, Viv, just say it
yes or no, click fire.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
My husband and nice shower together sometimes, so yeah, it happens.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Exactly in the shower. It's not that crazy. I just
I was like, this is cool. Whatever I like it,
