Episode 23: Sins of the Orc by Finley Fenn

Alli explains orc culture while Trey tries to forget all the times that this book talks about scents. They are diving into a fantasy romance novella this week with full orc on orc action. Trey finds out what clan of orcs he would be. And, of course, they touch on mage fingering, anal reiki, and perineum sunning. Content Warning- Due to the plot of this book, coerced sex and sexual assault are themes throughout the entire episode.
