This week's episode is about BAD SEX, a topic driven from the response we had to an anonymous article posted on our website titled "Bad Sex." We are not talking about having sex with someone who is bad in bed, but sex that leaves you feeling shit - and the lack of vocabulary that exists around it.The episode starts with Lucy banging on about One Direction before launching into 'Around the World in 5 headlines." Then, we have a massively important discussion about the grey area between consensual sex and sexual assault - the grey area that we can only call, 'Bad Sex.'Articles mentioned:Productivity: https://www.vox.com/culture/2020/4/17/21201878/quarantine-productivity-social-distancing-coronavirus-pandemic-covid-19-capitalism-ep-thompsonRohingya donation page and article: https://www.tearfund.org.nz/ https://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2020/4/feature-women-mobilize-to-prevent-covid-19-in-rohingya-refugee-campsUnconventional Beauty Advice: https://www.russh.com/unconventional-beauty-advice/Tom moore's donation page and article: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/tomswalkforthenhs https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-52333127Fiona Apple's new album sounds like 2020 feels: https://www.vox.com/culture/2020/4/17/21225315/fiona-apple-fetch-the-bolt-cutters-reviewLuce's 1D Article: https://shityoushouldcareabout.com/home/1dFeeling shit? https://shityoushouldcareabout.com/feeling-shitFollow us on instagram at @shityoushouldcareabout, or on our website at www.shityoushouldcareabout.com Hosted on Acast.
