Good Girls

Happy spring, good girls...when the air gets warmer, trees get jizzy, and the reading choices get… questionable. In this episode, we discuss romance novellas that fully deserve the smut label. Kay went deep into Jessa Kane's porny novellas full of problematic age gaps and worrisome power dynamics galore, and...kinda loved it??? We debate the necessity of happily-ever-afters in these purely spi...

Hey everyone, we are diving headfirst into the weird and infuriating history of the female orgasm. We start with the big question that kicked this off: why don’t we have a complete picture of the clitoris and female pleasure until basically our lifetimes? Perhaps because for centuries, a whole lot of men decided women were just passive penis-shaped receptacles, and they really weren’t looking (or...

We spill the spiked tea on all things Bridgerton...books, show seasons, and the highly questionable consent dynamics that somehow still deliver pure escapism. SJ dives deep while Kay experiences it all for the first time (no prior books or full seasons watched...up until the last 2 weeks), leading to debates over Daphne’s under-the-table sperm-jacking, Simon’s pull-out game, Anthony’s bee-sting ti...

We dive into Rachel E. Gross’s fascinating book Vagina Obscura: An Anatomical Voyage . We explore how little science and society still know about female anatomy, from the clitoris’s sole purpose of pleasure to outdated treatments like boric acid (basically rat poison), and the long history of treating women’s bodies as mysterious “shame parts." Along the way, we talk serious business like the...

In this episode of Good Girls , we talk about the Bachelor franchise’s latest disaster: ABC casting (and then abruptly canceling) Taylor Frankie Paul as the new Bachelorette just three days before premiere after a disturbing 2023 domestic violence video resurfaced. We discuss the full mess...Taylor’s chair-throwing incident, the allegations of reactive abuse on both sides, ABC’s questionable due d...

We kicked off thinking we'd just lightly roast some overly polished Christian mom influencers, but oh boy, did the Instagram algorithm have other plans. We got stuck in a tradwife/biblical womanhood rabbit hole...SJ with a fresh fake profile starting from "stay-at-home mommy" searches, Kay with her own personal one tainted by years of smut and chaos, and surfaced with everything from...

In this episode, we dive into the question: are we really living through a “smut renaissance”? After reading a recent New York Times article on the rise of romance, erotica, and romantasy by Amanda Hess, we wanted to push back on a few of its more negative assumptions. We talk about how smut actually fits into women’s lives: whether it replaces sex, enhances relationships, or just provides a littl...

Hey there, Good Girls! If the news cycle has you needing a serious brain break and even your usual romantasy escape feels too grounded in reality (looking at you, 500-year-old fairies hitting on 20-year-olds), we've got the perfect unhinged palate cleanser. This week, we enter the gloriously weird world of sentient object romance...books where everyday inanimate objects gain sentience, romance...

Hey! This week we talk about the US men’s hockey locker room FaceTime disaster. You know the one: the president cracks a ‘joke’ about inviting the women’s team only if he’s impeached, everyone laughs along, and then most of the guys show up for the photo op anyway. We break down the fight/flight/flock response, and why we’re still talking about it days later...it’s not just this one thing—it’s the...

Join us and special guest Lulu, a fabulous flight attendant with 10 years of sky-high stories, for the juiciest, grossest, and funniest tales from the friendly skies. From dentures on tray tables and sleep-jerking passengers to Mile High Club realities (spoiler: those bathrooms are a hard pass), wild layover dick appointments, and the real scoop on slutty pilots vs. crew hookups. Plus essential ha...

Enjoy your Olympics viewing with our deep dive into why Olympians have always been... extra horny. From the original ancient Greek Games where men trained and competed buck-naked (gymnasium = "place to exercise nude," obviously), complete with kynodesme strings to keep things "tasteful" (highly recommend looking this up), oiled-up wrestling, and all sorts of questionable activi...

Happy Presidents' Day, Good Girls! In this special holiday episode, we cover the messy sex scandals of U.S. presidents who turned the Oval Office into their personal playground. We ranking the skankiest (reappropriating that word for problematic men) commanders-in-chief based on their extramarital exploits, power imbalances, and sheer audacity. From Warren G. Harding's cringe-worthy love l...

We talk on "Are We Dating the Same Guy?" Facebook groups and apps. These sites are chaotic digital confessionals where women roast guys for everything from actual cheating to...not buying something on their Amazon wish-list?? From one-off drunk-cry dates that scream "red flag" (but aren't) to real cheaters like sneaky pilots and hospital hookups, we debate the line between...

Join us on the Good Girls Podcast as we gear up for Super Bowl Sunday with zero shame, starting off with a dip into NFL FanFic - KissMyTightEnd, we see you there on AAO3! We match up NFL quarterbacks with pop culture characters...ranging from Gandalf to Mulan to Gollum (we will go ahead and give away, that's Aaron Rodgers). We then pivot to peak pop culture chaos in our new "Am I the Assh...

In this week's episode of Good Girls, we talk about the conversations sparked by Ashley Tisdale's viral essay on The Cut about craving a "mom village" only to feel sidelined by a mom celeb group - think Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, and Megan Trainor. We get it, that'd be our #1 mom group choice, too. But, we aren't too into the idea of letting yourself feel excluded by one, single closed mom group wh...

SJ and Kay kick off 2026 by diving headfirst into the steamy world of hockey romance, fresh off SJ's binge of HBO's Heated Rivalry - the Critics' Choice-nominated adaptation of Rachel Reid's queer M/M powerhouse. Honorary Hockey Mom Kay gives a hockey crash course (complete with a brutal quiz on shifts, sticks, and glove-dropping consent), SJ talks beautifully cast leads like Conno...

Join us as we ring in 2026 with a fierce boycott on body-shaming resolutions, trading gym guilt for feel-good intentions like starting a romance-smut book club, embarking on quirky micro-adventures in our own city, and treating ourselves to fancy coffees and airport snacks without apology. We play a Family Feud-style game guessing America's top resolutions which Kay was shockingly bad at, dish...

In the chaotic glow of 2025's close, we reflect on pop culture that absolutely delivered in a year that aged us a decade: uncomfortable brotherly vibes in The White Lotus, steamy hockey romance in Heated Rivalry, and the ultimate female friendship glow-up in Wicked (shoutout to Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's interlaced fingers). We talk 2025 book news like Onyx Storm and Rebecca Yarros&...

In this festive installment of the Good Girls podcast, we dive into the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future through the lens of holiday hookups, awkward family stays, and libido-killing traditions. From thrill-seeking separate bedrooms at the in-laws to basement couches stained by teenage regrets, we talk emotionally unavailable exes, garlic-fueled redemption arcs, and the unreciprocated...

In a delightfully raunchy holiday episode of the Good Girls podcast, we dive into Christmas romance books, ranging from the delightfully cozy to the bizarre and questionable yet somehow also sexy. We sacrificed our sanity a little to read it all, ranging from the unsanitized candy cane insertion courtesy of a creepy mall Santa in Stuffed with Cole to the beastly bestiality vibes of Sir Krampus. We...

In this slightly unhinged episode, SJ and Kay dig into sex drive and why it’s a somewhat silly, misunderstood concept. They walk through more serious theories like the ABC model (not the Jackson 5), the motivation–incentive framework, and, of course, Emily Nagoski’s accelerators and brakes...but with some major detours into less scientific territory, including Brie from Desperate Housewives and Ka...

We talk about women's porn preferences and champion that it's totally fine if porn's not your vibe. We debate on quick-hit horniness vs. slow-burn romance reads, and zero in on why mainstream porn often flops. Think Pornhub's assault of unrealistically enormous assets, black-and-orange overload, and demoralizing tropes like teary face shots and "breeding" boss fantasies t...

We take a nostalgic dive and revisit our gateway smut, from early crushes on Twilight's Edward to Harry Potter's fanfic-fueled Draco and Disney's anthropomorphic foxes. We debate book-to-movie fails, our shadow daddy love origins like Han Solo and Rhett Butler, and the allure of fairy tale retellings. Minotaur romantasies get some side-eye, though we will hold off fully knocking it until Kay tries...

We dive deep into Joshua Harris's infamous I Kissed Dating Goodbye, the 1997 evangelical manifesto that turned a 21-year-old's anti-dating screed into a teen purity bible. Harris went on to torch it in a wild redemption arc complete with divorce, LGBTQ+ affirmation, and chats about Skims' nipple bras. We roast the book's "Seven Habits of Highly Defective Dating," includin...

SJ and Kay hop into their time machine to roast and revel in Cosmopolitan magazine's evolution from Helen Gurley Brown's questionable boss-banging tips in the 1960s to today's sex bucket lists. They critique decade-spanning gems like aiming to be the "second hottest girl in the room," blushing your nipples pink before bedtime, and feeding your man a saliva-soaked spaghetti strand à la Lady and the...
