  • For Smut Lovers and the Smut-curious Alike

    This podcast is frankly a delight and something I look forward to showing up in my feed. As a romance and erotica reader, it has been so validating to hear conversations about why these genres are often minimized even when so many people love them (hint: the patriarchy, heteronormativity, etc.). The book discussions are also a blast and have introduced me to some new authors and sub-genres. Brea and Mallory are as insightful as they are hilarious, and I’m grateful for my little virtual book club... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sexy Comics & Laying Eggs with Erika Moen & Matthew Nolan!
Q: As two proudly horny folks, do you have any tips for readers who are shy about finding community?
Use the internet; it gives you a level of anonymity.
Sexy Comics & Laying Eggs with Erika Moen & Matthew Nolan!
Q: Do you think reading Smut alone or together can actually be a good thing for couples?
Absolutely. Your spouse is being horny. How is that a bad thing?
Sexy Comics & Laying Eggs with Erika Moen & Matthew Nolan!
Q: What do you think is the benefit for readers or the draw maybe?
It's like the coolest medium in the world. It sits right between where you read something and you have to imagine, and it sits in your brain, and a visual movie thing where you're being shown frame to frame.
Sexy Comics & Laying Eggs with Erika Moen & Matthew Nolan!
Q: So Oh Joy Sex Toy has been doing sexy comics for a very long time. What brought you both there? What, like why sexy comics as opposed to pros, more video game fan fiction?
It all came from doing a lot of autobiographical comic work that you sort of naturally started to do a little bit of sexy focus on.
Monsterfucking with Opal Reyne!
Q: Do you think there is a little more work involved getting your readers to fall in love with the monster as opposed to a human?
Yes, it requires deeper engagement with the character's personality rather than just their physical attributes.
