The Science of Coming Undone: How to Shatter into a Million Pieces like a Real Romance Heroine

from Good Girls · host SJ and Kay

In this spicy Good Girls episode, we dive into the science and fantasy of female orgasms. We break down the hilarious and illuminating study “She Exploded Into a Million Pieces,” which analyzed 20 years of RWA award-winning romance novels, complete with violent imagery, “little deaths,” male sexual superpowers, and dramatic shattering climaxes.We also talk squirting vs. female ejaculation, the biology of orgasm phases (including extended and multiple orgasms), G-spots, Skene’s glands, and why the wetter-she-is-the-better-he-is myth is more complicated than romance books suggest. Along the way we discuss edging, Kegels, tantric breathing, and why some romance heroines ascend to heaven mid-climax.Plus: a full breakdown of the unhinged Threads meltdown by memoir author Emily Weinstein, who called romance (and romantasy)...problematic things...though kinda funny with the unicorn jizz?? and triggered the entire internet. We defend the genre, debate closed-door vs. open-door smut, and celebrate why women love it all...from sweet small-town romance to dragon smut and everything in between.

Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations. Explicit
