Last week during a Zoom birthday celebration, I was mid-professing my love for bump-and-grind hookup action when I noticed some nose-turning happening on the screen.

“You’re so hot” is a phrase you might hear from a partner in the heat of the moment. “Ah! Ah! My vagina feels spicy and hot!” meanwhile, is not.
