Summary

A woman has taken up with two men. One of them is a pal, and it's all about the sex. The other one is her perfect fit emotionally, but the sex is on the "meh" side. How on earth can she choose between them? A while back we had on a guest who turned out to be a charlatan! He duped a lot of media outlets, the Lovecast included. Dan interviews the journalist from Gizmodo who outed this fraud. Crow: it's what's for dinner. On the Magnum, a woman is dating a guy who is great in every way, except! He has terrible teeth. Would it be too shallow of her to dump him over this? And, a woman still grieving over her father's death sobs when she orgasms. Is this normal?

We've talked about it a lot, and I don't want to belabor it.

But a quick refresher,

0:41.4

Fostis says to a signed into law last year. It imposes fines and prison time on owners and managers of tech companies whose platforms are, whether the owners know it or not, being

used by sex workers. The law is so broadly worded that it not only made it impossible for sex

workers to share information online about safety, to find clients, and crucially to warn each other about dangerous clients.

It prompted major tech companies to start censoring sexual content just to be on the safe side, to protect themselves, not to protect sex workers.

The law is so broadly and vaguely worded, as Vox pointed out at the time that it passed,
