Another shout for @ryanscoatsphd.bsky.social and his work featured in @spektrum.de. It's in German, so one for those who are either speakers of that language or skilled users of translation tools. www.spektrum.de/news/sexuali...

The work of our @ryanscoatsphd.bsky.social features in "Drei ist nicht immer einer zu viel". The BlueSky post about this feature has an age filter on it. That might make it more intriguing...
