Just in case you needed a sexier threesome than Abby, Sam, and a microphone, we’re bringing you some questionable threesome erotica. Sam reads two short stories and we discuss threesome logistics, ponder the sexual politics of acronyms and consider the physical possibility of fitting someone’s entire boob in a mouth.

Join Sam and Abby for an intergalactic sex journey! We’re looking at alien tropes and galaxy sluts and wondering if this book is actually good or have our standards just dropped?  *episode correction - war of the worlds was published 1897, Abby is just bad at reading numbers.

Warning, this podcast contains: Valentine's Day cards, a sexy clutz, bad trope bingo, a jizz pen, and Sam purring like a kitty cat. Tune in to hear us ask (but not answer) if celebrating love is always a good thing or has capitalism ruined this too?

Your two favourite Ho’s are wrapping up the year with a Christmas special! Abby has read a sexy Christmas tale about a young, naive seductive elf who is sent out to the world of men and so of course the conversation centres around unionising elves and Grinch porn.

We’re riding the crimson wave right into this fortnight’s episode with a menstruation-themed erotic short story read by Abby. We discuss the way periods affect our lives in ways we hadn’t even thought about and how we feel about a threesome with Aunt Flo. This one’s for all the menstruators and bloodhounds out there who like to get down and dirty.

Because who doesn’t love a sequel? Abby spends two weeks of quarantine updating her research on sex in the time of COVID-19 while Sam reads viral erotica ‘Kissing the Coronavirus.’ Together we slowly come to terms with potentially disappointing podcast favourite Chuck Tingle as we ask, can coronavirus ever be sexy? Is it ever okay to poke fun at something that has caused such harm, even as satire? And how many ferrets is too many? Original artwork by Brady King and original music by Ankle...

Trick or treat it’s a spooky halloween special! Abby brings two sexy ghost tales while we cross over to ask the big questions; Is there life after death? Do departed spirits walk among us? And if so, can we have sex with them? The answers may surprise you. Not the last one, it’s definitely yes.

In a perfect meeting of interests Abby and Sam get to nerd out about the effects of legal and digital censorship on erotic material. We trace the history of book banning in Australia up to the chilling effects of the current American SESTA/FOSTA laws on internet content. Turns out when the people making censorship decisions are overwhelmingly pale, male and stale, it isn’t just about sexy books but also ongoing censorship of minority groups. Who’d have guessed?  Resources and further...

In this episode we chat to special guest Tegan Higginbotham, comedian, writer, actress and all round smut lover about writing sexy words for modern women. This fortnight Tegan read the classic Lady Chatterly’s Lover, a book banned in the UK until 1960 for its use of “four letter words,” and together we ponder why the author, DH Lawrence, never talks about foreplay, always talks about the bowels, and thinks the clitoris is a beak. A huge thank you to Tegan for joining us on this episode -...

It's a feminist podcast! New to Lipp Media, Feminism Ruins Everything is a weekly show offering feminist critiques to movies, musicals, and pop culture phenomena... potentially ruining them forever in the process.

Listen to Feminism...

We’re tackling the hairy questions in an episode dedicated to pubes! Whether you love them or hate them we’re sure everyone has spent a chunk of their adult life thinking about their thatches of curls. Sam and Abby look at the history of pubic hair removal and how changing standards of beauty affect the bodies of women and men.  Content warning: this episode references use of whorephobic language  References and extra reading for nerdy sluts: - For a look into the history of women’s hair...

G’day ya flamin’ galahs! Sam’s journey to find some sexy Australiana has landed us with a tale of almost no sex but a lot of pregnancies. Tune in as we jump into the Victorian regional community of Wirralong and the life of their sexiest, single policeman. Although we finally found an area that academia doesn’t give a shit about, we still have some facts for you. Did you know, for example, that romance by Australian authors is one of our biggest literary exports? Crikey! Original artwork by...

Can contraception be sexy? To help answer this question Abby looked at ‘Play it Safe’, an erotic anthology that includes safe sex practices and we discuss whether romance and erotica owe it to their readers to include safe practices. We also discuss the logistics of putting condoms on with bad eyesight, ginger butt plugs and our new favourite hero Supermarket Slut. But we know you’re all really here for the chats and stats.  Featuring special guest: Bec Villanti, one of the founders of...

Sam continues to bring the goods with not one but TWO mermaid-themed erotic novels. Come get wet with us as we dive into the erotic debate of whether mermaids would have sex like dolphins or like pelagic fish. If your life has been missing the appropriate amount of sexy fish facts and the word slit (and I mean, haven’t they all), this is the episode for you.  Content Warning: this episode contains some references to suicide Fact check: it is approximately 5% of the ocean that has...

Step into our VIP, all white, zebra print, smooth jazz bar-cum-weekend RnB club, as we look at the representation of class in romance. Using a book that flips the ‘white male billionaire’ trope on its head, Abby and Sam start to question whether we’ve been reading romance or capitalist propaganda this whole time. We’re talking class wars, father figures and why no penis should ever kiss a womb.  Content Warning: This episode includes some references to domestic violence References for nerdy...

Pop your feet up, it's our first fetish episode! Tune in as we dip our toes into the most statistically common of all: foot fetishes. This fortnight Sam read LG Denier’s (lol) Leg Lover and we discuss the difference between a fetish and kink, theories of how foot fetishes evolved and the logistics of a footjob from the point of view of two novices. Sam continues her journey of self-discovery, while Abby’s journey is more about realising that if she could choose a sentient cloud over people...

It’s a tale as old as time: boy meets girl, boy stalks girl, girl freaks out that boy has a room full of whips and then love I guess? Yep, we’re talking about the phenomenon of 50 Shades of Grey. Everyone has an opinion on this book and Sam and Abby grapple with the question of how you critique such a popular book while respecting the genre. Did it help normalise erotic romance for women? Yes. Did it misrepresent the BDSM community? Also yes. The answer is, as always, complicated. A big thank...

Have you ever asked yourself if you would have sex with a zombie? No? Yeah, us neither... Lucky for you, despite its name this book barely mentions zombies and is instead about a hot werewolf getting it on with a hot Samantha. Come with us on a journey into the absurd as we discuss zombie tropes, the politicised zombie body, zombie fleshlights and of course, nursing.References for nerdy sluts: A staring point if you'd like to read more about the racist history of zombies The Tragic, Forgotten...

In this episode Abby brings a graphic novel called Open Earth to the table, and with it, a chance to rant semi-coherently about non-monogamy. Is polyamory a radical sex uptopia or really a lot of talking and shared calendars? We’re talking hierarchies and anarchy, jealousy and boundaries, while asking some big questions like, if you left Earth (fair enough it’s a shit show), how would you reshape society’s rules around relationships? Would platonic be just as important as romantic? Would you...

Sam gives us our first look at Alyssa Cole’s work in The AI who loved me for the opportunity to nerd out about sextech and the implications of getting down and dirty with AI. That’s right, we’re talking about robots, while, thanks to zoom, sounding like robots. Meta. As it turns out humans love anthropomorphising their Roombas and Alexa has had more lovers proposing marriage than a Mills and Boon heroine. With the sex robot industry being skewed towards men we ask the important questions;...

Does the term curvy make you cringe? In this episode, Abby and Sam look at the anthology 'Curvy Girls: Erotica for Women' to examine ideas around body positivity, fat phobia and sex. This is an episode dedicated to the womxn who feel they’re being watched when they eat because their bodies don’t fit the mainstream definition of physical beauty. Representation of diverse bodies having sex matters. And frankly, everybody deserves stories of getting down and dirty with a hot chef in a...

Please enjoy the awkwardness of Abby and Sam struggling through zoom podcasting to talk about sex in the time of Corona. Inspired by articles that kept coming up on our news feeds, we’re looking into the growth of erotica and porn during self isolation. It starts off promising with legitimate stats, turns to the beauty of a well organised sex toy stash, devolves into our fear of Bloody Mary and then pivots back to our ol' fave: Chuck Tingle.  Sure it's a mess but we figure anything goes in a...
