On this week’s episode of #TheFriendZone, we examine the psychology of kinks and fetishes. Are they trauma-based? A pathology? Childhood imprints? Or just...fun? Mandii B of @WhoreibleDecisions pod + Adult Film Star Macana Man join us to expand our perspectives.

Away - Away knows that everyone has a different travel style. That’s why they make their Carry-On in an array of colors, two sizes, and two materials: a strong yet flexible polycarbonate and an anodized aluminum. Not to mention, suitcases are designed to last a lifetime. But if any part of your suitcase breaks, Away's stand-out customer service team will arrange to have it fixed or replaced ASAP. And, thanks to their 100-day trial on everything Away makes: Take it out on the road and live with it, you can travel with it, get lost with it. Then, if you decide it’s not for you, you can return any non-personalized item for a full refund—no ifs, ands, or asterisks. For $20 off a suitcase, visit https://www.awaytravel.com/friendzone20 and use promo code FRIENDZONE20 during checkout.
