This episode, Haley teamed up with Kai of @Rotten_Treasure for one of the kinkiest episodes of the entire show. Sometimes it’s difficult to find a partner into the same things, in the same general geographic area--before Grindr, Craigslist, or  KinkD, there were personal ads in the local LGBTQ magazine. Listen as we match with voyeurs, foot worshippers,  Gumdrop Danglers, and more!

(Personal ads begin around 1 hour and 2 minutes.)
