S.2 Episode Twenty-Two: It's Twue Really, Really Twue
After seeing a slew of posts revolving around the concept that there is only one correct path in the lifestyle, it is time for a conversation about twue way mythology in the lifestyle.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide what works best for them.

One of the most well-known sayings about advertising is “sex sells”. This is certainly the case in the D/S lifestyle as many lifestyle sites use sexual imagery as click bait and then some share sensual photos to gain likes which is designed to gain followers which then will bring profit, so it can feel that those seeking more than kinky coitus, those wanting substance over sexuality can be left wanting. So in this episode, we will get it on and chat about the quest to connect with those who seek something deeper from the lifestyle.
