Alright folx, cuff your jeans* and let’s talk about bisexuality. It’s not often our Bi+ pals get the spotlight because bi-erasure is a thing and we need to stop it and embrace our non-monosexual friends. In this episode we are serving you pure Sam and Abby anarchy meaning we spend less time on the the book and more time shitting on Freud (figuratively), unzipping pants (literally) and reminiscing about hypersexual teenage games.*Sam tells me this is a Bi+ thing but I thought it was just...

It’s high time we tackled the big V. That’s right, Abby and Sam are talking maidenhood taking, cherry popping, V card stamping and deflowering so bring your critical thinking sledge-hammers to crack open chastity belts worldwide. The book this week was a gift from a friend whom Abby will never forgive, and we pose the question; exactly what is “virginity” and why should we care?Bonus fun podcast activity: look up synonyms for virginity and rage my fellow booksluts.

Strap in for an episode of cock-filled nonsense. On a quest to find something that actually gets the blood flowing, Sam brings ‘The Collection’ by Nina Leger to the studio for an in depth discussion of Nymphomania while Abby becomes side-tracked by the politics of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). We meet in the middle to look at the history of pathologising women and why so many debunked ideas of women’s sexuality are still used in popular culture.  *Content...

In this episode we go back to the 18th century to look at the first Western erotic novel, the aptly titled Fanny Hill. Within the pages we discover that thigh sex is a thing and that the 18th century had a lot of fun words for genitalia.

It’s time to look at the creepier side of sex. What happens when you combine horror and erotica, two of the most maligned genres of literature? Is there anything scarier than a sexually empowered woman? And why is Abby kind of turned on by people getting turned inside out? *Content warning* this episode contains some references to suicide Music: Yesterday's Secret by texasradiofish (c) copyright 2018 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial  (3.0) license....

In this episode we want to introduce everyone to the works of the Sentient Pen that was birthed from an intellectual threesome between Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams and Banksy. We are, of course, talking about Hugo Award finalist Chuck Tingle.

When was the first time you read a sexy book? Perhaps more importantly, when was the first time you felt ashamed for doing it? In this episode we take a broad look at the romance genre, one of the highest grossing genres of printed literature. There’s a little bit of history, a little bit of critical thinking and a little bit of the Wild Wild West. Or is it just Austin, Texas?
