The Finisher

This week, former Magic writer and current random action generator Travis Woo released a video this week in which he discussed… some things. “Multiple” things, if you will. In the interest of keeping the show PG-13, we won’t go into detail, but let’s just say Travis recorded, posted, and busted a 15 minute video about how best to “have a good time” in bed. Now, you might not take your sexual advice from the man who is best known for trailblazing Living End. But I know a winning idea when I hear one. So tell me: now it’s your turn to pitch your 15 minute sexual advice video. What are your tips and tricks for a “winning strategy?”
