Today, male virgins inject peptides into their asses, dissociate on Kick, and disavow women. But twenty years ago, they simply took matters into their own hands and developed websites where they could BUY women! The year was 2006, and Brandon Wade, chud of the first order and master of self-written puff pieces, decided enough was enough and developed Seeking Arrangements - a sugar babying website where wealthy older men could meet broke younger women. It’s a site most women have visited at least once, or twice, or three times, in their most destitute college years. One that has all the sexual suggestiveness, intimacy, and transactionality of sex work but with less of the stigma. But, like OnlyFans, Seeking Arrangements has attempted to distance itself from all sexual connotations in recent years, posing instead as a “luxury dating site.” In this episode, Hannah and Maia look back on Seeking Arrangements’ heyday. They discuss the extreme theatre of heterosexual dating dynamics, and ask whether Wade was right that all little girls dream of finding a man with a high paying job, or if the site simply found its popularity alongside crumbling social infrastructure. Tangents include: Hannah’s floaters, the real definition of “aura farming,” and Feeld’s new “goofy Twink” option.

It didn’t seem possible, but Britain has finally found a woman more reviled than Queen Camila Parker Bowles. With the face of a Love Island contestant and the business savvy of PT Burnam, OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue drives around England in a blue van and beckons barely legal virgins to bang her on camera. On top of banging virgins, banging virgins and their dads, in 2025 she also set out to break a mind melting record of sleeping with 1000 men in 24 hours. She succeeded. In this episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the backlash surrounding Bonnie Blue, and whether she really is stretching parasociality to its logical limits, or reflecting our own hypocrisy back to us with a rather sophisticated brand of ragebait. As hundreds of men in shiesties cue up for their thirty seconds of fame, one has to ask whether Bonnie has created an entirely new specimen: the sex hype beast. Better yet, is Bonnie Blue the Mr. Beast of sex work? Tangents include: Lena Dunham’s new memoir and Australian bus memes.

Imagine: a reality where p*rn becomes so ubiquitous it invents its own sexuality. Just kidding, you’re living it. If you live under a rock and haven’t stumbled across Daniel Kolitz’s groundbreaking Harper’s piece, “The Goon Squad,” it’s time to catch you up. Gooners are a niche subculture inhabiting the internet’s moist-est corners, who have surrendered themselves to the art of m*asturbating. They make their own folk art called goonfuel and dwell in their own little gooncaves. Many gooners also allegedly enter the community straight, but unlock a “latent queerness within” through communal phallus worship and tender homosocial encouragement. In this episode, Hannah and Maia, joined by Daniel, ask whether gooning is something to nervously laugh at and move on, or take seriously as a symptom of the times. Through the sweet pain of total self-debasement and chasing the ecstatic abyss, gooners organize themselves around a digital New Religion. They also, however, press a frightening question: is the internet simply a seductive Siren, calling us all to go spiralling down the pleasure pit of self-annihilation? Tangents include: Hannah and Maia’s friend Jojo’s really good cooking, American Love Story, and women in GOON.

Clavicular. The James Joyce of incel forums. The icarus of looksmaxxing. The Truman Burbank of Kick. The sleep paralysis bouncer of every fifteen year old’s dreams. The sex symbol of 2026? Welcome back to another season of sex on the internet, where Hannah and Maia issue a formal apology for being the nth cultural critics to try a definitive take on the least compelling man of the hour. Clavicular became a media darling after singing Kanye’s “Heil H*tler” at the club, intentionally hitting a man with his cybertruck, yelling the n word into restaurants, and doing the rounds at NYFF. But what he really wants to be known for are his extreme beauty practices, so gender affirming in nature he may have closed the circle on misogyny - the walking answer to: “fellas, is it gay to f*ck a woman?” As Clavicular ascends into his desired state as a hard bodied Chad but nihilistically neuters himself in the process, has he finally realized RS Benedict’s thesis: everyone is beautiful, and no one is horny? Tangents include: Lindy West and the polycule from hell, and SNL as the Vegas residency of comedy.

From the anus of TikTok comes a version of slop so wacky, so delightfully dumb, so… Italian (???), that its managed to win the hearts of every iPad kid around the world. Introducing: Italian Brainrot, the latest AI craze of anthropomorphic hybrid creatures with Italo-gibberish names and salacious lore that your littlest cousin probably filled you in on over the holidays. If you scroll through Jstor you’ll find tons of articles philosophizing such beloved stock characters as Ballerina Cappuccina, Tralalero Tralala, and Tung Tung Tung Sahur. Scholars attempting to get to the bottom of their fundamental tension: are they Dadaist works of art reacting to the chaos of these fascist times, or are they fascist in and of themselves, predetermined for cooption by right wing edge lords? In this bonus episode, Hannah and Maia discuss Italian Brainrot and ask: why children? Why Italy? And why do we kind of f*ck with Ballerina Cappuccina?
