Episode Description

Hey lifers! Our guest Ask Uncut is BACK! Once a month (ish 😂) we bring in a special guest to help unpack your deep and burning questions, and this month's guest is the phenomenal, fabulous, one-of-a-kind drag queen Hannah Conda!

You may also know her as Chris Collins, runner-up on RuPaul's Drag Race and a person who once seriously considered becoming a Catholic priest. The pipeline from seminary to sequins is more logical than you'd think, she assures us.

Then we jump into your questions!

MY BOYFRIEND CRIES DURING SEX. IS THIS NORMAL?
I've been seeing a guy for about four months and he cries roughly one out of three times we have sex. He says he just gets overwhelmed and it's pretty normal. It was cute at the start but now it's putting me off. Is this somewhat normal? Is he telling the truth? I don't have a huge dating history so I genuinely don't know.

MY BEST FRIEND LOST WEIGHT AND NOW I DREAD GOING OUT WITH HER
My best friend lost a lot of weight over the past year and looks incredible. I'm so happy for her. But our friendship has shifted. We used to be on the same level socially when we'd go out. Now she gets all the attention. She's more confident, and sometimes she feels a bit dismissive of me. I feel horrible even writing this. Am I a bad friend? I miss how we used to be.

I GAVE MY BOYFRIEND A HANDY AND GOT NOTHING BACK
My boyfriend of over five years just laid there, hands behind his head, completely blissfully while I finished him off. He did not touch me once. I left him to clean himself up and didn't speak to him for hours. Do I have the right to be mad? Should I have stopped midway and asked if he was going to touch me back?

MY PARTNER WON'T LET ME PEE IN FRONT OF HIM
My current partner of one year is wigged out if I go to the toilet while he's in the room. He'd rather I wait until he leaves. I find this a bit strange; it's never been an issue in past relationships. Are we peeing in front of our partners or not? And when we have kids, he won't have a choice, will he?

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS TOO GLAM AT A WEDDING?
I've been invited to a wedding and I want to do full glam; lashes, shimmer, colour, contour, the lot. My friends reckon it's disrespectful and that I'll look like I'm trying to be the main character. Is this actually a thing?
