“Is it still love if it leaves a mark?” That’s the provocative question at the heart of this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where the crew dives into the controversial and eye-opening topic of intimacy, consent, and the blurred lines of modern romance.Join hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they open the doors to the infamous Love Shack—a segment where no topic is too taboo and no joke is off-limits. This time, they tackle the rising trend of choking during sex, its normalization among younger generations, and the serious consequences that can follow.
