Episode 5: The Anatomy of a Sex Scene: **Content warning: This episode of THR features frank and explicit discussion of sex scenes (and a lot of swearing for bonus points).** "The Anatomy of a Sex Scene" has Amanda and Austin returning from their holiday hiatus to argue about dickscription, make impassioned pleas for the use of lube in fiction (and real life), and discuss the requirements of heat ratings. Amanda condemns unrealistic beauty standards for genitals and Austin kinkshames literally everyone (he's sorry). The Hopeless Romantic now has a [Patreon account](https://www.patreon.com/thehopelessromantic)!
