On today’s show, it’s time to dive deep into the movie that has been consuming our thoughts, conversations, and TikTok feeds, Nicole Kidman’s new erotic drama Babygirl.From some strange on-set stories that will make you see the movie in a different way to the fascinating reason why Antonio Banderas was cast and the hidden details behind particular scenes, there are so many layers to peel back and discuss when it comes to Babygirl.And of course, we need to urgently dissect the movie’s viral sex scenes…but our opinions on them might be a little polarising.And we haven't forgotten about Weekend Watch! Today we have an incredible new TV series starring one of our favourite actresses to recommend to you, and a new Netflix comedy that everyone is talking about.

Ep 321: Hot for MILF College Teacher, An Erotic Improv Story by Ruan Willow. Gloria is a MILF and a sexuality professor at the college Andrew attends. This combo hits his top fantasies and, watch out for the major cock-thickening power, she's sexy as sin, so he daydreams about having sex with her during class. He imagines f*cking her in all different places around campus, in his car, in the classroom; his fantasies are so over the top, but he's worried. Is all this obsession over a woman he most certainly can not have any sort of level of being healthy? He wants to know, and Gloria tells her students to stop by during office hours with any questions pertaining to school, sexuality, and/or psychology. He's sure talking with Gloria will ease his mind, and his worry, over fantasizing about her, or at the very least, give him a reason to try and stop doing it. But will he be able to talk sex with a sexy woman in her office filled with sex paraphernalia and images of sexual interludes covering the office walls? Listen to this erotic improv story Ruan Willow spun off the top of her head and find out how Andrew makes out in this steamy conversation.Catch my podcast on tv!

Age gap romances have always been surrounded by a lot of stigma in the eyes of society. People involved in a relationship where one is much older than the other are often more susceptible to the opinions and judgments of someone else. Not only that, there are important factors to be taken into account when starting a relationship like that such as differences between life experiences, specific goals in life, and overall lifestyle. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade and Emily Gough analyze these types of romances and relationships between two individuals who don't have the same age. In order to live an experience with these circumstances, the person involved needs to have some level of confidence, self-consciousness, comfort, and most of all: preparation to deal with potential issues of compatibility.

Silver foxes, May/December, older heroines/younger heroes, look, Sarah's buttons were installed young, ok? We're talking age gap romances, how they played out in the early days of the genre, how they remain popular today, and what has happen (or not!) in the books to make them viable romance in 2021. We try to keep this one taboo but not dark, sexy but not erotic…but by the end, we're not making any real promises. Check all your Content Warnings before you begin with these books!Whether you're new to Fated Mates this month or have been with us for all three seasons, we adore you, and we're so grateful to have you. We hope you're reading the best books this week.Next week, we're reading Kresley Cole's debut, The Captain of All Pleasures. Neither of us have read it, so we're all jumping into the deep end without a mask on this one! Find it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, or Apple Books. Or find it from your local indie via bookshop.org.Show NotesYou can buy Iris Johansen's mansion in Cartersville, GA for a cool 8 million. Maybe Chaotic Evil isn't the best writing plan.Here's some pop psychology about the May December romance. By the way, the phrase May-December romance apparently dates back to Chaucer. In The Merchant's Tale, a young woman named May marries a much older man and a confusing idiom was born. As it turns out the “half your age plus 7” rule is not something Jen made up, because once you google it, you get charts and graphs and articles and everything. Sarah's reference to “Every terrifying post on that reddit board” is r/relationships, although r/amitheasshole is always available with some new tale of terrifying bad behavior. This problems presented from lack of sex ed are pervasive though historical romance, but how much better are we doing by our kids? Jen was talking about Marvin Gaye when she mentioned "Everybody wants their own piece of clay" shit.Diana Palmer has a long, storied romance career, and none of it involves that kind of DP. The first book in the Long Tall Texans series, Calhoun, was published in 1988, and the latest one is #57 in the series, Texas Proud, and was published in October of 2020. All joking about the Pioneer Woman aside, she does have some great recipes. It turns out that the “boiling frog” analogy is just a myth, so keep on reading! The movie Carol is based on Patricia Highsmith's The Price of Salt. The Jessa Kane book with the dirty version of the talk is called His Prize Pupil, in case you want to read it yourself. For science. Our next read-along episode will be The Captain of All Pleasures by Kresley Cole. If you want more Kresley, all of Season One is for you.

"Mr. Rochester was about forty, and this governess not twenty; and you see, when gentlemen of his age fall in love with girls, they are often like as if they were bewitched." (Jane Eyre, chapter XXXVI) In this episode, Jackie and Jen explore how older men (aka, "silver foxes") are portrayed in romance novels; why are they so popular, and why does it seem like no one cares that these older men are engaging in relationships with much younger women? What's the psychology behind this? And why are women authors continuing to play into this trope with their plots? Sound off in the comments after listening; do you think that we should get rid of age gaps in romance?   TW: Discussions of rape and domestic violence; cheating, questionable consent, age of consent, "daddy issues," divorce, teacher-student "relationships"   Terms and definitions: Age-gap romance: a romance where there is a big difference in age between two (or more) lovers Daddy issues: "A father complex develops when a person has a poor relationship with his or her father. The need for approval, support, love and understanding progresses into adulthood, and it may result in bad decisions with relationships." (Perspectives Counseling, 2019) BDSM- "sexual preferences and behaviors involving physical restraints, an unequal power relationship, or pain, including the practice of bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadomasochism, etc." (dictionary.com, 2020) Insta-love: When two characters instantly fall in love with each other (Thanet writers, 2020) Insta-lust: Similar to insta-love, however with this the characters fall instantly in lust with each other HEA: Happily Ever After "Classic" romance: May or may not contact sex, explicit or not, and focus specifically on the development of the relationship between the characters "Erotic" romance: We see the development of a romantic relationship through sex; the sex is implicit and key to the development of the relationship and of the story "Erotica:" features a story which is primarily about the sex and less so about the development of a relationship; no HEA necessarily, and the sexual journey influences the character's growth and development ("Gay Romance: Erotic?"

Covers volumes 8–13 of House of the Sun by TaamoOne Panel Later co-host, librarian, and manga reviewer Kelly Quinn Chiu and Shojo & Tell host Ashley dig deeper into the small moments that make this sleeper hit from Taamo so special. OK, honestly, Ashley mostly just rants about how Daiki is perfect and how he was robbed in this manga, while Kelly details how perfect Mao and Hiro’s relationship is. Both express shock and dismay at how, in a manga full of crummy characters like Mao’s dad and Sugimoto, Mao’s mom somehow ends up being the worst of them all. Both appreciate the understanding Mao’s dad and Hiro’s sister, Hina, have. There’s also a long discussion about the woes of publishing quiet romance manga that never get the hype they deserve.Just one more time, for emphasis: DAIKI IS THE BEST.Click here for a transcript of this episodeREFERENCESHouse of the Sun is available from Kodansha USA (digital only)Spoilers for The Hunger Games abound at ~1 hr and 5 minutes in.

Covers volumes 1–7 of House of the Sun by TaamoOne Panel Later co-host, librarian, and manga reviewer Kelly Quinn Chiu explains why Taamo’s House of the Sun is such a hidden gem. Kelly and Shojo & Tell host Ashley discuss the ups and downs of this slice-of-life drama and age gap romance, why libraries don’t often have digital manga, why Mao is so obsessed with a phallic creature, how Hiro needs therapy (lots and lots of therapy), and how truly awful Mao’s family (and Sugimoto) are. The metaphors of umbrellas and fireworks and the trap that is the influence of consistency are also scrutinized.
