It's time for another installment of Pot Psychology, the advice column in which everyone's problems are solved with an "herbal" remedy. (As always: Don't do drugs!) It was my pleasure to get baked with my brother of another mother, Rich, and attempt to tackle issues like "accidental virginity", personal hygiene, and telling your ex you have syphilis. (Note that I said "attempt.") Got a burning question? Send it to tips@jezebel.com with "Pot Psychology" in the subject line. (Please keep them short; they're verrrry hard to read when stoned.)

OMG, my NY mother-in-law told me that I should sleep without underwear "to air out the coinpurse" in front of my own mother. My Midwestern WASP mother was SHOCKED. It was high-larious.
I go pantyless whenever possible, especially the laundromat...Pathmark, even Marshalls, today even Starbucks in Brooklyn. I just have to be careful over the subway gratings...I am no Marilyn if I am caught under a gust of wind..yikes!!!
I haven't even watched this yet, but I want you to know that Pot Psychology is the highlight of Jezebel for me.
Tyra does it, so I do it. Air out my vagina that is. Not act like a motherfucking batshit crazy bitch.
@mocena: "Air out the coinpurse" I love that!
SM, your makeup looks really good in this video. Also, I loved the song in the background.
Hooray! I was worried we wouldn't get PotPsych because SM is on vacay.
I get lightheaded too! Is this person really thin? it takes all that i have to push out those Caesar salad shits!
It's true, you gotta breathe. Person fainting when they poop- you need to take a stool softener or eat more bran or something. You don't want to end up fused to your bf's toilet for two years, do you?
dear slut machine,
can we be best friends. i enjoy you so much. p.s. it is SO true that you arent supposed to wear undaapants when you go to bed.. or work out with like spandex/thong on underneath.. you can get leee yeastyyy infection.
love

Sometimes I air myself out whilst sleeping. Then if I have to run somewhere in the AM I'll throw on yoga pants with no undies. But I never wear actual clothes without underwear; it feels too weird.
I only go pantyless when getting out of my car and the paps are around. Otherwise my dog wears them around the house if he finds them in the hamper.
Rich reminds me of my main gay bffl who goes to school in Paris. I see him basically once a year. :'(
God no. I need my polkadotted cheap Hanes cotton bikini-cut undies. I can't sleep without those. Hell, I can't even lounge around the house just with undergarments on. I feel really...exposed. If I'm not showering, swimming, or fucking, I need undapants.
This is my favorite Jezebel feature.
You are cuter high than I am. Actually both of you are. That was a lot of adorable right there.
This is my favorite feature!!
And my mom said that too - let it breathe. So I still do.
That song is hilarious.
Chocolate milk and a ciggie is what I always heard will make you poop.
@mocena: I am a little creeped out that your stepmom told you not to sleep with underwear on. It's also creepy that Slut Machine's mom told her not to. Not sure why, but it just seems icky.
is he wearing a Silence of the Lambs t- shirt?!
coffee does it for me. Makes me go to the crapper right away. But me loves my coffee!
@MyChiwawa: Love the name.
I enjoyed the background music.
But what was that animal incident? I'm concerned.
So I just watched it with the sound off - or like 15 seconds of it - cuz I'm at work, and all I saw is the both of 'em chewing and munching. Ha! They really are stoned, aren't they?
haha - "take your underwears off!"
You guys had really laid back moms. When I was growing up our lady parts needed to be covered at all times, even at the beach my mom would make me wear underwear under my bathing suit. She was very much of the anachronistic 50's housewife/repressed femininity school of motherhood...
oh...coffee makes you poop. It's true.
I think slutmachine's mom is my aunt. Does this mean my mom was adopted? She's all about the airing out.
Oh sweet Jesus y'all knows what happens to me when I bring coffee and ciggies on my morning dog walk.
I had a crazy friend who slept in not just underwear, but a BRA. Every night! Because her mom told her that her boobs would sag if she didn't.
I air everything out whenever possible.
Ah Rich is killin' me with that shirt! Haha! Hands down the best feature on Jezebel.
I just wish I could do everything in the world without underwear/anything on. :::sigh:::
I sleep with my balls hanging out of my apartment window. It does wonders for my junk.
@Jezebabe: Underwear under your bathing suit? What kind of bathing suit were you sporting, my dear?
I love how this is like the love child of That 70s Show outtakes and my college life. Ah, memories.
My grandma kathleen--RIP-- taught me this when i was about 5.
ok. so last week after PS i had a dream that night about the snarling dog in the video. it was a jerky dog. when i fed it it went to sleep. then i carried it around while it was sleeping. AND THEN IT TURNED INTO A BIG SLAB OF BUTTER.
PS that!
OMG SM! I FUCKIN MISSED YOU!
I actually love sleeping naked but my husband won't leave me alone to actually sleep if I do that.
a recent spate of trips to a new gyno confirmed this to be more than just folklore.... i've done it forever and won't stop now!
also - anyone else have a gyno w/ a camera and a monitor so you can see EXACTLY what they are doing? it was a little overwhelming. luckily they also give you chocolate. (note to self and potential therapists: typing this makes me feel really retroactively skeezed)
Please do answer my questions, SM! You are pretty. Who's that boy?
This has always been a hotly debated topic amoungst my 6 sisters and mother and we are evenly split.
so my last loser, asked me if I always slept naked or just when he was over. my response, "dude, are you complaining that I am naked?" But, yeah you gotta let the flower breathe.
My dad, my brother and myself all would have to poop every time we walked into Tower Records. EVERY TIME! Thank god there was a Long John Silvers next door so we could go take turns droppin' d's!
@zivah: this was when I was a child...it was always a one-piece...
I don't like small mean dogs. But this video gets a thumbs up. Also, Gerard Depardieu! "Ieu" as in "eww" or "ü."
@layladylan: totally. SM, what is the song in the background?
@glitteryzo: omg, that's worse than those gynos that give you a flower afterwards...how patronizing. Ipaid you to check my vadge, this is not a date!!!!
I LOVE YOU slut machine!! This is BY FAR my favorite segment of the week.
One thing though, it isn't true about the no-underwear thing to bed... it is true that you should wear cotton undies or no undies to bed, since cotton still allows your vag to breathe. No nylon, ladies!
@pureblarney: ü = u ieu = indescribable lol
@Jezebabe: and if it was a date could i please have had some wine? :) it reminded me that sex ed in 6th grade didn't really do it all justice!
Yes! Air. It. Out. My ob/gyn recommended doing so to cut down on ye olde yeast infections, and it does wonders (that and eating yogurt). Sleeping naked is preferred, but if you have a eager husband, a long, floral print granny-type night gown allows adequate airing with minimum pawing. It's like camo for bed. He totally leaves me alone.
"you have to breathe" -- exactly what MY mom used to say!!
OK - this Pot Psychology is a party I want to get in on. Winston can come too. I will bring the Fritos.
My mom told me the same thing- "air it out, so you don't get a yeast infection". I always did follow her advice, until I noticed that my hubby's peen "accidentally fell into" my monchichi when we were sleeping.
@mocena: "to air out the coinpurse" - I laughed out loud. Phrase of the day!
Great segment, SM -
@TheUptightMidwesterner: shit too bad the best/worst comments were already posted. monchichi highfuckinlarious.
I don't think I can put into words how funny this always is. My officemate and I watch you ever week and laugh hysterically so that the little british secretary next to us calls security.
I know this is a misnomer, but I LIKE to sleep with no undies.
Hell, if I could, I'd sleep naked.
pot psychology makes me so happy.
