We’re riding the crimson wave right into this fortnight’s episode with a menstruation-themed erotic short story read by Abby. We discuss the way periods affect our lives in ways we hadn’t even thought about and how we feel about a threesome with Aunt Flo.

Because who doesn’t love a sequel? Abby spends two weeks of quarantine updating her research on sex in the time of COVID-19 while Sam reads viral erotica ‘Kissing the Coronavirus.’ Together we slowly come to terms with potentially disappointing podcast favourite Chuck Tingle as we ask, can coronavirus ever be sexy? Is it ever okay to poke fun at something that has caused such harm, even as satire? And how many ferrets is too many?Original artwork by Brady King and original music by Ankle Injuries ft. the sexy voice of Tace Kelly. https://soundcloud.com/ankleinjuriesOther intro music from: Yesterday's Secret by texasradiofish (c) copyright 2018 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial (3.0) license.

In a perfect meeting of interests Abby and Sam get to nerd out about the effects of legal and digital censorship on erotic material. We trace the history of book banning in Australia up to the chilling effects of the current American SESTA/FOSTA laws on internet content. Turns out when the people making censorship decisions are overwhelmingly pale, male and stale, it isn’t just about sexy books but also ongoing censorship of minority groups.
