WHAT THE SMUT

This week's episode is a take-two on The Red: An Erotic Fantasy by Tiffany Reisz. We always have a lot to say when we record these episodes. This book inspired a lot of discussion about other ways it could have gone down. We talked about Sebastian and Spencer and all of the ways we imagined it happening differently. Most importantly, Kandy and Ivy pretty much brawled about how much needs to be explained at the end of a story.  We really need to know what you think so vote in our poll!    Get the entire story at https://whatthesmut.com/2022/06/06/art-history-for-pervs/ 

Ivy said this was the BEST WRITTEN erotica she had ever read. This pervy version of art history had more kink than you can shake a peter at! The post Exploring Perverts in Art History appeared first on What The Smut.

This time on What the Smut, we discuss The Red: An Erotic Fantasy by Tiffany Reisz. Kandy was looking for a paranormal romance with sex work as a key component when she found this beauty. What we didn't count on was a brilliant concept, some amazing art history, and boundary-pushing sex acts. We rated the heat level in this book as erotic due to all of the wild acts. As of this writing, the book is in the amazing kindle unlimited catalog. Just another amazing reason to subscribe. We had no idea art history could be so sexy! A pervy ghost that can bring paintings to life sure doesn't hurt the premise. Mona gets herself into some very interesting situations and always seems to have the right outfit for the scene. We argued about if we like to have questions go unanswered. 

We get to discuss sweet Esters escapades with her wide variety of erections, sex in public, aquaphilia, and how very much we loved this book! The post The Erection Selection appeared first on What The Smut.

In the second half of our discussion about A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon we discuss sweet Esters escapades with her wide variety of erections, sex in public, aquaphilia, and how very much we loved this book!  Karen's sex toy corner we give Esters muff some love from ilovemymuff.com. We LOVE this site and we love the Muffinton Post! Come hang out with us on Facebook or Instagram and drop us a review wherever you listen.  

Not every lady is cut out for sex work and fewer even for sex work with the things that go bump in the night, but Ester certainly is! The post Shameless Sex Work appeared first on What The Smut.

This time on What the Smut we are discussing A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon. Lisa requested a book with more sex from the Facebook group Deliciously Dark & Dirrty Readers and this is the recommendation that she chose for us. It is certainly a winner! We definitely are in the mood to slut praise our heroine Ester for finding her calling in monster sex work. She knows what she likes and isn't afraid to take it. The book is broken into two episodes because we had so many awesome characters to chat about. We rated the heat level in this book as erotic due to the incredible selection of erections. Not every lady is cut out for sex work and fewer even for sex work with the things that go bump in the night. Thankfully Ester is not just any lady. We adored her devotion to her men and her vibrant spirit of exploration.  The first episode, Shameless Sex Work, brings up topics of safe sex, slut praising and Kandy tries to pop everyone's bubble about the myth of doctors vibrating women to orgasm due to hysteria.  We will be back next week with the conclusion to our discussion!

Our psychometrician witch Grace finds her HEA in a clan of passionate Gargoyles who help her find the family she craves. The post Shamelessly Dirty Romantic – Captivating Gargoyle Clan appeared first on What The Smut.

This time on What the Smut we are discussing Deceived By The Gargoyles by Lillian Lark. Oh, how we love a shamelessly dirty romantic! Our psychometrician witch Grace finds her HEA in a clan of passionate Gargoyles who help her find the family she craves. They also don't mind giving her all of the sexy times she can handle and don't forget those knots! We rated the heat level in this book as erotic due to the knotting. While Grace is the newbie to the clan, the existing romantic and sexual relationships between the fellows were also tooth aching sweet, in the very best way. We loved these characters to death and want more more more!    Tell Ivy how do you feel about being manipulated for your own good? Recommend a sex toy shop to Karen!

Thea enchants our sense of the American past as she introduces us to many glorious characters from The American Renaissance Tarot. The post Tarot Secrets of American Romanticism, Smut, and Occultism appeared first on What The Smut.

We are so thrilled to be talking with Thea Wirsching today about her work The American Renaissance Tarot. Thea takes us through her journey of conception and creation and shares how she wants this tarot deck to help us "enchant our sense of the American past". Find Thea online at theplutobabe.com americanrenaissancetarot.com and one Instagram at @the_pluto_babe and @americantarot Head over to What The Smut to take a look at all of the cards we discuss today.  Thea sees its deck somewhat like Our Tarot: A Guidebook and Deck Featuring Notable Women in History as the cards can be reviewed and absorbed one at a time to learn about the American Renaissance period, the literature, and the occultism. Thea and the deck are a treasure-trove of knowledge and we started out by talking about the role of women by discussing Victoria Woodhull who was a free lover and presidential candidate. Miss Woodhall was jailed for publishing the truth of Henry Ward Beecher's (represented on The Pope Card) extramarital affair because it was deemed pornographic. We discussed Elizabeth Stoddard (on the Queen of Wands) and her novel The Morgesons (the 6 of wands) in contrast with Harriot Beecher Stowe (the Queen of Cups) and Susan Warner. Check out Theas blog 19th-century goth for even more about Stoddard. We also talked about Margaret Fuller's (the Empress Card) fall from grace, Emily Dickenson's (High Priestess) secret life, and the movie Wild Nights with Emily as discussed on the podcast Dyking Out. Switching gears we talked about Herman Melville and the sperm squeezing in Moby Dick (Four of Wand) and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Paschal Beverly Randolph's (Lover card) contributions to occultism in contrast to the Fox sisters (The moon card). Thea turns us on to complex marriage with John Humphrey Noyes and his feminist sex-positive commune at the Oneida house. Continuing in the commune theme we discussed The Blithedale Romance (Three of Cups) by Nathanial Hawthorn and finished up with incomparable Walt Whitman (The World Card) and Leaves of Grass.    

It's time to talk about the bully romance Zodiac Academy: The Awakening by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. These Gemini twins are in for the fight of their life when they get whisked away to a brutal Fae Academy where only the strong flourish. Their worst bullies are the ones who sit on their deceased parent's throne and will do anything to keep them down. We rated the heat level in this book as all the way.   We spend a lot of our time in this discussion just talking about the bully romance. We have varying degrees of experience with the theme and it was a really interesting discussion. What do you think of bulky romances? Why do you think they are so popular? We would love to hear what you think!

This week on What the Smut we are talking about the medieval desire in A Year and a Day (Medieval DeWarenne Trilogy Book 1) by Virginia Henley. This is Lisa's birthday book and friend of the pod Amanda joins us to explore this wonderful historical romance. Jane is selected to be Lynx's handfasted companion for no other reason than her family's prolific breeding. Gosh, it would make a girl giddy with desire. The medieval period being what it is, Jane's desire for Lynx is irrelevant. We rated the heat level in this book as The Audacity!! This means the book doesn't treat the sex parts of different genders equally. As Amanda pointed out, it's 25 years old so we will cut it some slack :-) In this episode, we talk about multiple stories confusing the plot, men and women that don't like the other gender but still want to sleep with them, location and so very much more.

This week on What the Smut we are talking all about manipulative lovers and other amazing historical characters in A Year and a Day (Medieval DeWarenne Trilogy Book 1) by Virginia Henley. The book is set in medieval Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence. In the first half of the episode, we are talking about the historical figures in the book including Edward Longshanks, John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, and Robert The Bruce. We were lucky to have our guest and historical book reader Amanda come to the rescue. As bad as we are at math it has NOTHING on medieval English/Scottish history. In the second half of the ep, we got to chat about the non-historical characters. You really can't lose with these characters! A racist granny, a dick-faced bad guy, a sweet cunning lady, and a normative and normative manly type man. Join in and see if you can count how many times Kandy says colonialism... Our manly man main character thinks quite poorly of women. He sees them as manipulative beasts so we spent quite a lot of time talking about manipulation. I think we answered the question of what makes manipulative lovers and then some. A manipulation is just a tool and pretty much everyone uses it. We even managed to bring perspective, intent, and ethics into the thing. Hey, as long as it's not math or history... 

In this historical fiction discussion, we talked a lot about manipulative lovers and how intent, perspective, and ethics affect them. The post Manipulative Love – Conquering Medieval Romance appeared first on What The Smut.

In this special, we are reveling in the glory of dirty talk in romance novels. If this isn't your jam... Why the heck are you listening to our disreputable selves? We attacked the topic with vigor and each one of us selected 5 of the most memorable dirty talk books/quotes. Why five? I don't know. It's a terrible number. Sure it's the life of the party but the party always ends with the cops being called. Anyway, that's enough woo-woo numerology crap. Let us talk dirty to you! Lisa is addicted to the Dark and Taboo books and loves them to have some sex. She gets a lot of her fodder from the FB groups Deliciously Dark Romance. Ivy leans more toward the cozy mystery which is devoid of the dirty talk but she loves a variety and enjoys the explicit language. She also always really felt weird talking dirty when she was younger but you can tell from what she says on the pod that she is over it! Lisa is still uncomfortable about the dirty talk. Kandy thinks it is all about comfort level in any situation but loves the sexy in any book. Karen says if she is reading smut she wants it smutty! We figured out that the sexiest things in our dirty books aren't quotes by characters. So if we ever do this again, we will open up the playground do be any of the dirty stuff we read. Now is your chance! Tell us your favorite filthy book and why you love it!! We talk about how adding little in front of almost any word makes it acceptable dirty talk. Then we explore humiliation and degradation and the difference between a slut and a whore. We explored the descriptive terminology authors use for dialogue tags (that's he said, she asked, he purred, she murmured, etc). Exploring the beauty of anticipation in the way people make the sexy talk. How fantasy versus reality in what turns us on. We talked a lot about letting go of control. The absolute JOY of dirty books on audible.com!

This quickie is from our episode Loved, Lusted & Hated when we talked about “Spank Me, Mr. Darcy” by Lissa Trevor and Jane Austen. Kandy REPEATEDLY and BRAZENLY stated incorrectly that Pride and Prejudice (published in 1813) is 100 years old. We never claimed to be good at math. We talked about wrapping our brains around the combination of sex and Regency-era English and other crazy oldo speak. We would love to hear from you. Do you love oldo english speak? Do you speak oldo on the daily? Send us your stories and recommendations on our contact page or through Instagram or Facebook.

Now on to household gifts Lisa wants the reader in your life (or you) to be cozy with a gorgeous sherpa fleece book blanket by Storiarts. These blankets are beautiful and you can read them! Lots of great classics to snuggle up underneath. Kandy picked this adorable cat bookshelf fleece blanket because she was cold and had to share her blanket with her cats' Radar and Echo. Hey, it's not always about you... But if you know a crazy cat lady that reads until her eyeballs pop out this is the gift for her... or him. Karen picked this "Bookmarks are for quitters" mug for Lisa and suggested how to make it into a little gift set with some tea or coffee included. Kandy suggested this Love Your Shelf Insulated Cup from Cardigan Librarian for those Romance readers that don't drink hot coffee. It's perfect for iced coffee, water, or any morning beverage. Of course, you know we are gonna remind you about how much we LOVE FrostBeard Studio Candles, right? The Trashy Romance Novel Candle has been rebranded to the steamy romance novel which was Karens' pick and Lisa chose Old Books. Kandy didn't want to be left out so she picked Sassenach. You've read her first smut story, right? Our collective favorite is bearshifter. We may have spent too much time on their website.   Our third and final blanket is from lithographs.com. These awesome blankets have hidden words in the pictures and offer a huge variety that creates perfect gifts for nearly anyone on your list. Then some wonderful reading accessories Kandy's number one pick is the Gooseneck Tablet Holder she recently picked up from Amazon. It's great for reading in bed or on the couch and would make a terrific gift for anyone that you would like to ignore you and read more. Lisa loves this adorable Octopus Page Holder. Kandy thinks it's perfect for tentacle porn! Leave it to Karen to suggest an accessory that can double as a sex toy. This Personalized Leather Bookmark by Malina Leather Crafts can double as a spanker in a pinch! Another item Kandy loves (and already owns) is these book darts that are gorgeous and classy ways to mark your place. She loves them for marking non-fiction pages to reference later. We all agree if you have a bathtub you NEED a Bathtub Tray. Kandy picked this great one with Wine Holder and Book Holder from Henrys Daughter Decor. Here are the personal gifts for readers. Karen fell in love with this adorable book wallet she saw on TikTok and then found it from Well Read Company. It's beautiful and has a zipper closure to keep everything where it belongs. There are also loads of designs so you are sure to find just the right one. Lisa was ticked that she couldn't get this cute T-shirt by Ann Arbor T-shirt Co that says "My weekend is fully booked" because of the sizes. It goes up to a 2XL so grab one for your reader (or yourself). Karen picked another cute T-Shirt from CustomixDesign "I Have No Shelf Control" It comes in a wide range of colors and sizes and is adorable! Lisa suggested this Kate Spade Canvas Tote with a stack of books and an interior pocket. Stuff their stocking with these awesome stockings! Lisa found these so many books so little time socks on amazon and they are killer! Lisa picked these adorable book-themed pouches from Storiarts. They are just the right size for carrying our skull collection.   Books! Some fun book gifts. Karen digs this scratch-off reading recommendation poster by Book Bundles by Viv. Great for folks who want more variety in their reading choices. Kandy picked this recycled readers book subscription for only $11 a month. You can choose a genre and get selections monthly. Lisa suggested this personalized book to make for the person you love. Why I love you from Love Book is your very own illustrated own story.
