Happy hump day! As we mentioned last week we're on a rare (but needed!) summer break from the podcast, and using this time to dig into the archive and rerelease some gems from 2024. This week is a return to a deep dive episode where we talked about our previous Hot Girl summers and the impact of the cost of living crisis on romance. How are we meant to find the loves of our lives when a second round of drinks is out of budget?&nbsp;Plus, we discuss a rise in celibacy. If Julia Fox and Lenny Kravitz are doing it, maybe <em>we</em> should be doing it too?&nbsp;And finally we’re asking the important questions about dating apps. Are they terrible? Why are they terrible? And what can we do to stop them making *us* feel terrible?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Thanks so much for listening/re-listening! We're an indie pod which means that the three of us do absolutely everything for the show from picking topics, researching, writing show notes, emailing guests, chatting with you lovely listeners, editing, producing, sound mixing... the lot! And it's because of you all that it's possible. We'll be back with brand new eps on the 19th of August!</p><p><br></p><p>Lots of love B, R, O x</p><p><br></p><p>Links</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.experianplc.com/newsroom/press-releases/2024/the-cost-of-loving--young-people-rack-up-average-debt-of-p2-250-#:~:text=%C2%A32,246.50%20is%20the%20exact,going%20into%20debt%20on%20average.&amp;text=The%20Cost%20of%20Loving%20is%20a%205%20part%20podcast%20series,intersection%20between%20dating%20and%20finances\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">EXPERIAN- Cost of Loving&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.experianplc.com/newsroom/press-releases/2024/the-cost-of-loving--young-people-rack-up-average-debt-of-p2-250-#:~:text=%C2%A32,246.50%20is%20the%20exact,going%20into%20debt%20on%20average.&amp;text=The%20Cost%20of%20Loving%20is%20a%205%20part%20podcast%20series,intersection%20between%20dating%20and%20finances\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">OENONE’S SUBSTACK- Please, don’t ask me who I am</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture/article/62279/1/why-are-so-many-young-people-taking-hallucinogens\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">DAZED- Why are so many young people taking hallucinogens?&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.asbomagazine.com/2022/02/21/pxssy-palace-queer-renaissance/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ASBO MAGAZINE- Pxssy Palace, Queer Renaissance</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.thecut.com/2023/03/4b-movement-feminism-south-korea.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">THE CUT- The women of South Korea’s 4B movement</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/julia-fox-celibacy-explanation-b2548867.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">THE INDEPENDENT - Julia Fox explains why she won’t give up her celibacy&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episode-1359-andrew-garfield\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">WTF PODCAST - Marc Maron x Andrew Garfield&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/may/30/lenny-kravitz-interview-blue-electric-light\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">THE GUARDIAN- Lenny Kravitz&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/mar/21/the-orgasm-gap-and-how-to-close-it-dont-equate-sex-and-penetration\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">THE GUARDIAN- The Orgasm Gap&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/comments/1bs540q/no_fap_benefits/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">REDDIT- No fap</a></p><p><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbian_feminism\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">WIKIPEDIA- Lesbian Feminism&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/lets-talk-about-dating/id1359296770?i=1000665737735\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">APPLE - Let’s Talk About … Dating&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-bumble-fumble-shows-how-dating-apps-misunderstand-their-users\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">POLYESTER - The Bumble Fumble&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/Romanticise-Your-Life-find-everyday/dp/1398720860\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">BETH MCCOLL- Romanticise Your Life</a></p>","author_name":"Beth, Ruchira & Oenone"}
