Midnight Sex Talk: Prostitution and the new UK Laws

Midnight Sex Talk – Prostitution and the New UK Laws There’s been a lot going on with our sex laws recently here in the UK.

Midnight Sex Talk – Addiction Everyone’s an addict now, apparently. This week’s Midnight Sex Talk looks at sex addiction (does it really exist?) and also what addiction can do to a relationship.
