If you—or your girl—had a chance to catch the mega hit that is Girls Trip this weekend—it raked in more than $30 million and captured the No. 2 spot—you know “grape fruiting” stole two scenes in the flick (thanks toTiffany Haddish and Jada Pinkett-Smith).

For those of you who still don’t know what the heck it is, the grapefruit technique is a special kind of blow job popularized by sex expert (and CASSIUS expert) Auntie Angel aka The Grapefruit Lady. When done properly, “grape fruiting” guarantees a super sized nut. Unfortunately, too many folks are hyped about doing the move, but aren’t taking the time to figure out how to do it properly (like Pinkett-Smith’s character, Lisa). “You have to watch the entire segment,” Auntie Angel tells CASSIUS. “It’s not just about entertainment, it’s also for educational purposes to ensure you and your partner are safe and enjoying the moment. You can’t cheat and get it right.”

CliffNotes be damned. Read on and make sure the next time your partner whips out a grapefruit, the only screams are from ecstasy.

1 Use a Condom

If you’re just learning the technique or not in a monogamous relationship, you should definitely utilize protection for the safety of all parties involved. “I teach how to put on a condom with your mouth,” Angel tells CASSIUS.  “Safe sex is important.” A condom prevents the grapefruit juice from getting into the urethra and, most importantly, the spread of STDs.

2 Do an Allergy Check

Think the burning in Girls Trip was bad? Imagine a full blown allergic reaction. “Everyone can’t be grape fruited,” she says. “It can cause a severe reaction for some. Ask about allergies in advance, people tend to know if they’re allergic to something.”

3 Cut the Hole Properly

You have to do a pretty good job of size estimation to avoid the biggest mistake. “Make sure there is enough room for the penis to fit into the grapefruit without the head touching the sides. If the opening is too small, juice will get in the urethra and burn.”

4 No Pre-Gaming Blow Jobs

Never, ever, ever use a blow job to get it up for the technique. Why? “Friction from nails, teeth, or even hands can chafe the penis causing small tears that will burn as soon as you place the grapefruit on it,” she adds. The fix is simple: get it up by stimulating other parts of the body with kisses and licks.

5 Take Time to Warm Things Up

The grapefruit technique is a guaranteed miss if the fruit is cold or room temperature. “The grapefruit feels amazing because it’s the same texture and temperature as a mouth or vagina,” she says. “Make sure you warm it up beforehand, but also make sure it’s not too hot.”

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
