Good Girls

SJ and Kay

Welcome to the Good Girls podcast with SJ and Kay, where two self-described MILFs in our thirties talk sex, relationships, and books. We roast societal expectations of women’s sexuality, riff on praise and age-gap kinks, and give highly questionable sex advice. We also talk romance reads, from the massively popular to the quirky gems hiding in the smuttier corners of the internet. Laugh and cringe a little with us! New episodes every Tuesday.

    Let Women Read Their Fairy Porn in Peace

    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 little escapist fun after a long day. Along the way we discuss the difference between romance, romantasy, and true erotica, the rise of audio erotica and discreet Kindle reading, and why the idea that women can’t distinguish fantasy from reality feels a little outdated. We also get into some bigger questions about modern culture...declining sex statistics, realistic expectations for men, and the idea that romance novels might actually help women articulate what they want in relationships. Plus, we react to everything from BookTok trends and hockey romance to anti-porn religious wife TikTok and the strange ways smut keeps getting blamed for broader social anxieties. Finally, we wrap up with what we’re currently reading - from a delightful baseball romance (thank you Liz Tomforde for the delightful In Her Own League!) to a darker fantasy that has us questioning whether the male lead can possibly be redeemed (looking at you, Kane Ferron from Alchemized). If you’ve wondered why people get so worked up about women reading romance, this episode is for you. Happy reading!

    We Debated If Men Are Salvageable and Landed on “Probably Not, Pass the Smut”

    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 pattern. We rate the skankiness level of everything man-ish from Prince Andrew’s Range Rover pic (still serving awkward c**t energy, but not the good kind) to performative male feminists, apolitical dudes, daddy influencers, and that Coldplay kiss cam CEO who got caught mid-embrace. We then shift right over to how women aren't the most normal either...though less problematically so. We go from lighthearted Dramione fluff to dark, necromancy-filled Alchemized, voyeur-heavy Poison Daughter and Neon Gods (why is everyone watching?), sweet Ali Hazelwood escapism, and the absolute unhinged masterpiece Pushin’ Cushions—where a certain VP hopeful has a very intimate, demon-possessed encounter with a dirty couch. Women are so creative when we’re mad. We wrap with airplane feet horror stories (keep them on the ground, please), a taxpayer-funded mile-high scandal we can’t unsee, and our ongoing quest to be good enough in this life for lesbian paradise next time. Trigger warnings for politics, dark fantasy, and sentient furniture erotica. Grab a drink, settle in, and join us for the mess.
