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.
