I luv the show, but the adult toys adds are frustrating. There used to be warnings about explicit or gruesome episodes, but now lots of episodes have explicit adds.
All of this is AI Generated. The pictures, the scripts, everything
I love how unique the stories are. Carmen’s voice is the icing on the cake.
Fantastic information and storytelling. Juicy, fun, eerie, repeatable.
Please turn the background music WAY down cuz I love your voice but the music is super distracting.
Always look forward to each episode.
