About this episode

Hannah and Maia explore the evolution and cultural implications of thirst traps in the context of social media.

We know what boys like, we know what guys want. And that is plausible deniability. Out of the diaristic “artful nudes” of 2010s body positivity, to the horny-on-main boredom of the pandemic, has come a new era in which the “thirst trap” as we once knew it has been thrown into question. In this episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the thirst trap: a delicate art, a science, if you will, of showing hole online, and the ways that our culture has begun to reject it. Based on a comprehensive and definitely 100% accurate study of instagram users conducted by Hannah, the girls unpack a series of shocking discoveries that will have people of all genders and sexual persuasions scratching their heads. Have yearnin' and pinin' really killed the thirst trap? Tangents include: Euphoria season three, and Vinnie Hacker and the giga surf chads.
