Why No One's Having Sex In Bed Anymore

Outlouders, where's the craziest place you've ever had sex? We need to talk about the rise in people  having *ahem* private moments in public places. There's an interesting theory as to why which wait for it, involves the cost of living crisis. We clutch our pearls and explore.

Plus, what are the exact things men need to be doing in 2025 to be considered a gentleman? An extensive etiquette list for men has just landed — but is it common sense or controversial? Em V, Jessie and Holly sit down to discuss. 

Also, do you need an 'Invisible Day' and if so, how do you get one and what are the rules?

And it's time for our reccos including some incredible books for the (long) weekend, and a podcast that has Holly all riled up.
