Finally, the FINALE! In this last episode of the podcast, we reflect on all that’s come before. But for once, we don’t just have stories to gab about. We've got stats, baby! That’s right, we took our 75 total interactions and got the hard, cold numbers behind the numbers. Which is to say, we polished what is otherwise a collection of totally subjective anecdotes with a quantitative veneer.

And we do it with flair! For instance, we discovered that 6.5% percent of our hookups happened on Halloween! 38% of these stories were about “one time things”. And 100% percent of the times we tried something new in the bedroom with someone, we had positive feelings about them.

We also talk about where we’re headed, our biggest regrets, and what we’ve learned from these experiences—and from making a podcast about them. So sit back, crack open a beer (we did!), and let’s land this plane together.

To everyone who made it here, to the bittersweet end, thank you!! We would never have made it this far without your laughter and encouragement. 💘 A very special thanks to Diego at Lightning the Cavern Works for all his hard work on this episode and many others.

The final installment of Mariah's sexual chronicles is about a trope so common, it's become glib: love at first sight. In January of 2020, an (almost) 28-year-old software engineer from NYC walked into a co-working space in Medellín and locked eyes with a blue-eyed gal in a black tube top. It was a chance encounter facilitated by Bumble, and their paths only crossed for two weeks, but it was long enough to know. Sparks flew that day; three years later, those sparks have kept Mariah and her beloved Number 44 cozy and in love through five cities and counting.

The thing is, unlike this one, the 43 other stories you heard before all had endings. But no matter how short-lived or how dramatic or difficult, those stories represent the same spirit, the same open-heartedness, the same belief in magic that had to exist to kindle the spark between M. and Number 44 that January day.

So, here's another cheesy story about being willing to let love into your life, because sometimes it just might keep burnin' and burnin'.

From Spain to Colombia (again), from threesomes to sex clubs, this penultimate installment in Mariah's sex chronicles is all about sexual exploration and running away from feelings. After a fun-filled summer in Barcelona, Mariah heads back to Medellín to make it her own again after her breakup from Number 30, but quickly finds she isn't as over him as she thinks she is. As chaotic as this period in her life is, the silver lining is strengthened friendships and a renewed sense that she can stand on her own two feet, no matter what.
