    • Society & Culture

We use the term cult very often and loosely these days, but the fact of the matter is that cults are out there, in great numbers, and able to prey on more people than ever. Even worse, when you find yourself confronted with the dark sides of mentors and friends who supposedly embraced you without conditions and with open hearts, it always, always turns very creepy and very sexual. Alex and Ellie wade through the sinister world of cults and the tactics they use to draw in new members, plus cult erotica writer Christian Pan weighs in on how these groups are portrayed in fiction vs. what they're like in reality.
