...Likes It." Today, as the world's most widely distributed magazine, the Digest wields an editorial force that often takes strange forms. Its preoccupation with sex might make even a Confidential reader blush. The Digest delights in double-entendre page-enders or fillers, rarely misses the chance to reprint notably daring sex lore from outside authorities.

But when Cecilia takes on another lover, Dino is stuck in his Moravian hell indeed...
