KINKY KARROT PRESENTS OFF THE BEATEN PATH

Sex and relationships are the last thing Lizzy is thinking about when she moves to the big city. She is completely focused on starting her studies, looking for a job, and living with her sarcastic, older roommate Elva, which is still unfamiliar. She is also still reeling from the breakup with her long-term boyfriend. When she visits a sex shop for the first time out of curiosity, Lizzy begins to explore her own sexuality and discovers a whole new side of herself. An exciting side. From dating apps to sex toys to bondage, she tries out lots of things and slowly discovers her interest in the kinkier side of sex. However, this journey is not without challenges: she must deal with the uncertainties of modern dating, financial worries and the question of how she wants to shape her relationships and sex life in the future. Lizzy faces great challenges that offer great opportunities - anything but frivolous!
