Fancy some Regency-era audio porn voiced by Tom Blyth?
It's no secret that modern dating can leave a lot to be desired. Swiping to meet, deciphering confusing texts, navigating the minefield of buzzword bad behaviours. It's no wonder that so many of us are escaping into fantasy RN — whether that's via romantasy novels and monster erotica, closing our eyes and disappearing into an audio porn story, or getting stuck into passionate period dramas like Bridgerton. We're all craving a romantic love story, and ideally one that doesn't involve technology (in the story, that is — headphones and TVs obvs essential for our escapism). If this plight sounds familiar, audio erotica app Quinn might just have the thing for you. The latest iteration of its star-studded Original series is The Muse: a Regency-era romance drama starring The Hunger Games' Tom Blyth. Blyth voices William, a struggling pianist and composer, who takes what he thinks will be a fairly mundane job teaching piano to the adult daughter of a wealthy Lord. As Blyth reveals in the series trailer, though, she's 'not exactly your typical debutante' — rather, Aurelia is 'fiery', 'plays by her own rules', and, as per Quinn, unnerves and inspires William. As their lessons progress, sparks begin to fly. 'The Muse explores the electric tension between teacher and student, the line between discipline and desire, and the transcendent power of artistic connection,' says Quinn. 'This is a story of restraint unraveling — of intimacy, music, and mutual obsession, set against the lush, candlelit backdrop of early 19th-century London.' As is usually the case with Quinn's stories, the listener plays a lead role — this time, you're Aurelia, and Blyth (as William) is speaking directly to you. Yep, it's hot. If you're into fantasies of power, forbidden love, and Blyth's sensual voice whispering in your ear, then you should head over to Quinn now to listen to the first two eps. Don't binge them too quickly, though, as the final episode of the three-part series won't land until next week (31 July). Talk about teasing! And good news: if you join our new Club Cosmo membership, you can get a whole month's subscription for free. The best bit? Club Cosmo is also totally free to join. So there's really no excuse. Plus, if celeb audio porn is what you're after, then Quinn is the place to go. Blyth follows in the footsteps of the app's previous big-name narrators, including Andrew Scott, Emily in Paris' Lucien Laviscount, You's Victoria Pedretti, and many more. To mark the premiere of The Muse, Quinn has shared an exclusive excerpt with us, so you, Aurelia, can try before you buy. Read on for some Regency-era erotica. (And FYI, as William is talking to you, listener/reader, the below is all from his POV.) I feel as if I've been shot out of a cannon and thrust into a beautiful new world. Has London always been this lovely? It feels as if the entire course of my life has been redirected in just a matter of days. First, an unexpected offer of employment from a generous patron, and now… how to even quantify this magnitude of feeling? This outburst of passion for Aurelia… it's all-consuming. Excuse me, good sir! I shall watch my step. What beauty lays before me in this pleasure garden. I don't recall ever stepping foot in this sanctuary. For how long have I been stumbling around London like a blind fool? I suppose I have been ignorant to the casual beauty of everyday life, but now all is transformed, all thanks to Aurelia. William, you are in trouble… Of course, I must preserve my employment with Lord Haddington, if only to be near Aurelia, but whenever I am with her, I lose all sense of myself. I am at the mercy of her hunger, passion, and wit. And her physical form… it's all a potent, all-consuming intoxication. I've never met a woman like her. But her predilection for being discovered could be my… nay, our downfall. Her father could end me, and I do not wish to tarnish her reputation. Please excuse me ladies, do have a lovely afternoon. To think that I would have categorised Aurelia as a dilettante not a few days ago if I were to have passed her in this very garden. I was prepared to sit on my hands, bite clear through my tongue, and tame my racing thoughts… but my passion for her is matched by her passion for… dare I say it… for me. Aurelia is leading me to that sensual life — that life of artistry — I've always craved.

How to remove a festival wristband properly without cutting it, using things you have already
Festival season is well and truly underway, with Glastonbury wrapping up its 53rd year of the festival this weekend, and many more events including Forwards Festival, Creamfields, and All Points East all set to take place this summer. But after the festival is over, and you're heading home in your (potentially) muddy wellyboots, you're likely looking to preserve the memories, beyond the cute Polaroids and TikToks. And one very easy way to keep those festival memories alive? Keeping your festival wristband. But how do you keep it one piece? We've got all the hacks to know. A festival wristband is an iconic part of the festival uniform, and though it may be covered in booze, mud and the odd ketchup stain, you still want to hold on to it, not only for the memories, but in the case of Glastonbury, to prove that you went there. Of course you can always just cut your wristband in half to take if off your arm, but then you don't get to preserve it in one piece, so how do you do it? Well this is our essential step by step guide. Still need festival tickets? Enter our Club Cosmo competition for free and be in with a chance of winning tickets to Creamfields or Forwards Festival. ENTER FOR FREE HERE Tips: this works best on looser wristbands, if it's on super tightly please don't pull and tug your wristband. The plastic tag on the wristband has teeth which stop it from becoming loose, so for this method it's about being able to pull the wristband through those teeth, here's how. And now keep the wristband for years to come and reflect on all those festival memories. Lydia Venn is Cosmopolitan UK's Senior Entertainment and Lifestyle Writer.
