The Cliteral Truth Podcast
Welcome to The Cliteral Truth-the podcast where we sit around naked and talk about sex, dating, and relationships.
We're Lexie and Ryan!
When we met, we quickly realized we share a passion for sex. We believe when it comes to sexual knowledge and performance, we're in the top 1%. Sex is our zone of genius. And after experiencing each other's aptitude and prowess, we gradually conceptualized our vision of helping others find that passion and master their own sexuality.

70. The Ownership of Women

What does it really mean when fathers joke about what they’ll do to young men who date their daughters? Or when a man is expected to “ask for her hand” before marriage? In this episode, we examine how these traditions subtly frame women as property—protected, transferred, or owned—rather than as autonomous adults with agency and consent.
We challenge the cultural mythology of male protection, examining its origins and the reasons for its persistence. Then we look at the uncomfortable data: when violence or crisis actually happens, men are far less likely to step in than the protector narrative suggests.
This is a candid, research-backed conversation about gender roles, ownership, consent, and the stories we keep telling ourselves about men, women, and power—stories that deserve a serious re-examination.
