On this episode of Whore-oscopes, Nia Òla (she/they) discusses the history of dating, it’s roots in sex work and why we need to be interacting with it (and its past) honestly, in order to get out of this discontent expressed by the masses.

Don’t forget to like, favorite and share this episode if you enjoyed it.

As always That Deep is Nia’s Substack and one of the ways this work is supported so if you’re not already over there… spare them a subscription. You’ve spent $5 on worse, don’t act silly now.

If you’d like to submit a question for me to offer you advice on, the link to do so is the first in the sources of my show notes. Your question will be aired on the 25th in the Crystal Ball Talk episode. *I don’t answer questions regarding legal or medical matters.
