It's Sophia Franklin, and you are listening to Sophia with an F, but I think I'm in the mood for a quickie. ♪

That's all guys really want. Their dick sucked and you to get on top. Not all the time, but like you're willing to do it like here and there. That's all they want.

Can I just start this episode by saying the iPhone 15 makes you look like an AI version of yourself. Like I'm looking at myself in the camera right now because I do upload this to TikTok. Go check me out. So if you've been enough, Franklin with a Y. And you know what? If you want to follow me on there, I would be forever indebted to you and at your service. But

Where the fuck was I? I just got carried away. We're off to a great fucking start, you guys. The iPhone 15. I didn't get it because I like to have the newest technology. I got it out of pure necessity because I left my iPhone at Zenyara, which is a nightclub that you go to after Coachella.

Okay, this thing, I'm fucking here for it. Is this their way of getting people even more addicted to their phones and like social media? And let me explain the social media piece because you...

you're literally looking at yourself in this camera and you're gonna feel so fucking good about yourself because you are have a filter on you and it's a Paris filter without you even knowing there's a filter so it really is gonna make you think you're hot shit and then next thing you know you are making love to your phone and not people out in the wild

I don't know. I think it's like a little like addiction tactic that just sounded really fucking insane coming out of my mouth. But I do have one more teeny tiny thing to ask. You guys write in all the time, but I just want to let you guys know because I don't think I've even ever said this on a mini episode, which is alarming and I need to go to podcast school. But

If you want to write in a question or tell me a story or you want my advice or you just you want to shoot the shit, you want to tell me what my ex is up to, then click the link in the description. You'll see that you can submit anything there. And then the link is also on the Sophia with an F podcast page on Instagram. I think it's like in a highlight reel.

And without further ado, question number one. Sophia, I'm 25 and have been thinking about getting Botox. When I told my mom, she flipped out. Are you happy with your Botox and did you get poor reactions from people you respect? Okay, so let me just tell you a little bit about my Botox experience.

went to see a plastic surgeon for earlobe repair and walked out with botox injected into my face

So there wasn't really any time or decision making that I could have gotten other people's opinions because I went in for earlobe repair and walked out with Botox in my face.

I fully went in there to fix like in my right. I said my right or my left doesn't matter. Earring hole. I guess that's what you fucking call it. Because I noticed when I wear a really heavy earring in one particular ear, it just it sogs a teeny tiny bit. No one in the entire universe would fucking notice but me.

Well, now everybody, because I just fucking pointed it out. But I went to the consultation. She looked at my ears. She low key was kind of like, girl, you got bigger issues and they are on your fucking face. Honestly, that's like kind of like how it went down.

I went in for the earlobe. She looked at it and she was like, this is this. I see what you're saying, but it's so minor. Also, you can't wear earrings for six weeks. I don't know what it was about the no earrings for six weeks that made me say absolutely not.

It's like, bitch, you were going in to get a minor surgery, but it's still surgery. It's not like people who are getting a boob job or, you know, getting a mole removed, whatever it is like.

They go in there fully knowing like, oh, I'm gonna have to have a bandage over this area now and I can't get it wet. And so I'll have to like make do. Boob job. Actually, boob jobs are fucking crazy. And one of my best friends got one and went to Coachella two days later. Two. 48 hours later.

After she came out of the surgery. She popped on over. To the polo field. Like it's. Boob jobs are really insane in that way. So. Back to your question though. However. I.

I fucking adore Botox. I want to recommend it to every single human being that I know who doesn't have it, which is basically no one. I feel like out of my friend group and just generally the people I know, especially like in the influenza influencer space, I

and New York City like everyone has fucking Botox I was a little bit late to the game and I'm so happy that this plastic surgeon was like yeah why don't we let me just let's let's run it let's do it with all of that said I think 25 is young to be getting Botox

Ooh, every esthetician and every Botox fucking company is going to come for me. I just am a firm believer in waiting till the very last fucking minute to get any work done. Like, I think you should drag that shit out as long as you can before you start kind of messing around.

It took me 31 years till I got Botox and I'm really happy I did that. But that's what worked for me. I know people are out here saying it's preventative. You got to get it now so you can prevent the shit later.

I'm gonna just call bullshit, which has really no founding or ground to stand on because I'm not a doctor. But I got Botox and there is no wrinkle. Look, I'm literally like scrunching my forehead. There is not a wrinkle in sight. Granted, this is also the AI cartoon version of me because it's the iPhone 15, but...

I think if you really look in the mirror and you're like, my crow's feet for whatever reason decided to fucking kick in at 25 instead of, well, I actually have crow's feet, but I do not get Botox in them. And you decide that it's an issue and you don't feel confident, then get the Botox. But get the bare, bare minimum, okay?

Please, for the love of God, like, you know how terrified I was when the surgeon went to inject my face with Botox? I was like, I would rather walk out of here spending $1,000 and looking the exact same than come out of here spending $1,000 and looking like my eyebrows are to the ceiling and my face looks like it's just frozen in time.

Like I will do anything to avoid that. So I only get injections in the forehead area. I asked her if I could do my frown lines. I asked her about the crow's feet. And this is why I will only be getting Botox from this person. Unless you're listening and you want to, you know, send me some free Botox, then I'll take everything I said back. But...

I wouldn't do it unless you think that it's absolutely necessary. And if you do decide to do it, I fully support it. But also make sure you're not using Groupon online.

Which I don't believe exists anymore. Make sure you're not like getting a awesome two for one deal and your friend, you and your friend drive over to some lady's apartment where she's selling bags and shoes and jewelry, but also giving out Botox.

Which like those those are real parties. Now that I'm thinking about it, like those parties, I don't know what the fuck they're called. Botox sip and go and shop parties. It's kind of a wild concept. But in Utah, I was like.

bitches were doing that constantly like those were like the thing I wouldn't I wouldn't recommend just just be careful with who you let stick a fucking needle into your face

And I know everyone talks about like, oh my God, filler, filler fucked my face up and I have pillow face or I got under eye filler. And now all of a sudden my under eye filler is no longer under my eye. It's on my cheek like because it migrated. Botox can be treated with a little less intensity than filler, but it's

At the end of the day, you can really still distort your face. So be careful. We are in a cost of living crisis, people. And everyone knows I am the queen of finding ways to save money. And that applies to my retail therapy as well. Rakuten is going to help you save money, period. I mean, it already has for me. So why wouldn't it for you?

It's the smartest way to save money when you shop because you earn cash back at over 3,500 stores. My personal favorites are Sephora, Saks Fifth Avenue, Wine.com, but I've also earned cash back on trips I've taken, home appliances, and even dining out with friends. It's truly the gift that keeps on giving and the membership is free.

And it's beyond easy to sign up for. So there's really no excuse. Cashback is deposited directly into your PayPal account or Rakuten can send you a check. Whatever way you prefer. Get the Rakuten app now and join the 17 million members who are already saving. Cashback rates change daily. See Rakuten.com for details. That's R-A-K-U-T-E-N-E.

Your cash back really adds up. Okay, question number two. Can you talk about how to go about a first hookup? I want to be just enough crazy and slutty but also not too intense or weird. I need to know how to find a good balance. Get on top. Mm-hmm. Yep. Cowgirl. Right on, cowgirl. If you get on top of a guy...

That is already putting you light years ahead of a lot of other women. It's not a competition, okay? But I can just speak from my experience. If I was barely getting on top in a two-year relationship where I felt very comfortable for the most part, what makes you think on a first hookup when I'm feeling super nervous that I would...

Get on top like I wouldn't I personally wouldn't but that's because there's a lack of confidence in that area and I'm going to work on that and deal with it so that I can finally be functioning in this world like the girl that gets on top the first hookup.

But yeah, you don't need to get that fancy with it. And then if you feel like you would be open to going down on him, you know, even if it's just for like 30 seconds or a minute, just to provide maybe some lubrication, which really at the end of the day helps you as well.

Then by all fucking means, I can tell you right now, he will not stop you. He will remember that you put in that kind of work and that you weren't scared to just fucking go downtown the first hookup. That's all guys really want. Their dick sucked and you to get on top.

not all the time, but like you're willing to do it like here and there. That's all they want. Don't try to get fancy with it because that's where you're going to fuck up. And that's where you're going to like feel not confident and it's going to come off fake or insecure. Like you can't do dirty talk because that's way too personal. You can't

hop up on your counter and spread your legs and be like oh my god it'd be so fun if we just fuck right here right now in your kitchen because you guys don't know each other's rhythms yet you don't even know if he's like tall enough with his penis like if his leg span is high enough like

To put insert the penis inside you if you're on the kitchen counter like there's too many things that could go wrong. If you go out the gate with the dirty talk and you call him daddy, I feel like 65% of men fucking hate that.

And it's just too risky. Just do the basics. And that's me being a real fucking older sis right there. I could have answered and said, oh my God, just make sure that you're enjoying it. And that's all you need because that's the biggest turn on at the end of the day. It is. That's not the answer you're looking for. You're looking for the real answer. And there you have it.

And with that, sleuths, I am obsessed with you guys. Unless you are a incel man and slide into my DMs and try to harass me, then you have no business being here. But I will talk to you guys next week. And don't forget, link in the description and link on the Sophia The Neff Podcast Instagram page so you can submit any questions, stories, nudes that you have. Bye.
