I wrote about Black Venus' erotic wrestling battles that take place in a secret location in East London — and delved into the tender world of kink wrestling.

The far right loves AI slop Surreal imagery has been slipping into the British political consciousness. We should be wary

I wrote about the far right’s love affair with deranged AI slop — and what it means for British politics for New Statesman.

A Finasteride Nightmare: Inside the Dark Side of the Hair-Loss Drug Marc stopped taking his hair loss medication when strange symptoms occurred. Then his life began to unravel.

I delved into the gargantuan hair loss industry (which is as old as ancient Egypt) and explored why the pressure to have an intact hairline has never been higher — despite the health risks.

For GQ, I told the story of Marc Turner, a man in his mid thirties who loved cycling and gardening. He took finasteride for hair loss in 2020 and killed himself in a hotel room less than two years later.

For the past year, I’ve been interviewing men who took finasteride for hair loss and say they have experienced catastrophic side effects ever since: brain fog. Insomnia. Anxiety. Genital shrinking. Muscle weakness. Suicidal ideation. 🧵

Vape to save your pet Smart vapes have made a game out of e-cigarettes

For The New Statesman: I wrote about the next stage of the vaping revolution… and how the industry seems to be deliberately appealing to children 🚬🍬🍭🍧

Then, last month, the Chartered Trading Standards Institute said it seized thousands of counterfeit Labubus - known as “Lafufus” - and was investigating fakes in connection with organised crime groups in the UK.

What’s driving us Labubu-crazy?? And will the frenzy last?

In May, sales of Labubu halted in the UK, following manic queries and fights in Pop Mart. 🧵

Labubu and the infantilisation of the West Why are Brits now unable to sleep without fluffy toys?

In my first article for The New Statesman, I wrote about Labubu fever.. and what it tells us about ourselves and our social worlds. 🧵

Are Gen Z *actually* bad at partying? The younger generation is back on the booze – but were Gen Z ever as boring as what headlines would have us believe?

What men think about the performative male trope As aspiring performative males fight it out in the capital this weekend, some men are fed up with the joke

"Performative males" have been the internet's laughing stock in recent weeks, leaving men who enjoy iced matchas, Labubus, tote bags and reading Joan Didion open to ridicule...

I spoke to men about what they made of the "performative male" trend.

The Sticky, Sensual Pleasures of Cake-Sitting Where does cakesitting come from? Who started it? Why do people do it? And what about cake — specifically — is so sexy?

NEW Substack: I interviewed New York City artist Lindsay Dye about the sticky, sensual pleasures of cake-sitting. We chatted about being a camgirl, anthropomorphic desserts & what colour cakes are a no-go for cake-sitting.

Porn traffic halves following age verification rules As the number of people accessing porn in the UK drops sharply, what does this mean for young adults in the UK?

I spoke to health professionals, s*x educators and feminist p*rn director Erika Lust about what we should make of the latest data: standard-web-prod.brightsites.co.uk/lifestyle/uk...

Just under a month since the Online Safety Act’s new age verification rules came into place, the number of people accessing p*rnography in the UK has decreased sharply.

But whether the numbers are indicative of progress depends on who you ask. 🧵

'Singles events are like a meat factory': What young men really think about dating Male-scepticism is rife among straight female daters, with many women giving up on relationships entirely. But do they really have the worse end of the stick, or is it just as hard for guys? Arielle D...

Thank you to The Standard for my dream commission... I got single men who date women in London to give me the tea about their dating lives.

Do women really have the worse end of the stick, or is it just as hard for guys?

Gen Z are eating dinner at 6pm — and it's because they're losers During university I was loose about a lot of things (drinking, dating, washing my bed sheets). But when it came to dining, I was militant. If you were meeting me for lunch, we were eating supermarket ...

I wrote about the joys of late-night dining (and rewiring my relationship to my own appetite) for The Standard.

While it’s possible that a generation of young men are turning away from p*rn for ethical reasons, I have a feeling that something more sinister is at play.

Read my latest piece in The Standard.

Nearly two thirds (64 per cent) of young men believe that it should be harder to access online p*rnography, up 11% from 2013.🧵

I've started a Substack.

New episode out! A couple are into CNC scenarios. But when he asked her to drug him, have her way with him and share him with her friends, it gave her pause.

On the Magnum, hear from @arielledomb.bsky.social, the writer who spent the evening in a Berlin sex doll hotel with "Techno Babe."

I interviewed young adults living with their parents about how they're making it work (for some, it includes a lot of park sex).

Returning to mum and dad aged 27 didn't feel sexy. But in the UK, this living arrangement is increasingly common. In the last 18 years, the number of 25 to 34-year-old adults who live with their parents increased by more than a third, up to 18% in 2024.

Last August, I left my ex's flat in East London and moved back in with my parents at the other end of the Northern Line. 🧵
