Welcome back once again to Betwixt The Sheets. Hello. Thank you for dropping by once more. It's fab to have you here. But before we go any further, I do have to tell you once again, and will keep telling you from now until the time the podcast becomes unprofitable, this is an adult podcast spoken by adults to other adults about adulty things in an adulty way, covering a range of adult subjects, and you should be an adult too. Right? Do you feel safer? Do you? Really? Do you feel okay to keep going? All right, then let's do it. [instrumental music] Finish, climax, peak, le petit mort, the big O, coming, creaming, hitting the jackpot, [laughs] or perhaps you just wanna say it like it is and call it an orgasm. Whatever it is you call it, that is what we're talking about today.
