    The new season of Ryan Murphy’s grim show Monster has landed on Netflix — and, as expected, it’s as salacious as it is gruesome.

    We all love our buzzy bedside besties, but have you ever stopped to wonder how the, er, sausage is made? Sex toys are a feat of engineering, with increasingly innovative designs created by the best in the biz.

    Scroll your FYP for long enough, and you’re bound to eventually end up on RelationshipAdviceTok.
