The amount of garbage related to Adam22 and his "wife" Lena the Plug has irritated me enough to make this podcast. Marriage and committed relationships are a sacred thing. While I understand the difference between monogamy (one partner) or polygamy (multiple partners) what Adam and Lena are doing is insane. Allowing your spouse to have sex with someone outside of your married partner(s), film said interaction and then promote it and post it for all to see for money no less is gross, irresponsibl...
