An A to Z of Sex with Men Raphael & Jacinta

Our final episode of season 2 is all about Zones (the erogenous kind).

This week our format is a little different. Instead of our usual 'extensive research', we take you through nearly every erogenous zone we and the internet can think of and tell you our own personal feelings about them.

We then discuss our zones-related film, which this time is 'The Piano!' It was intense we loved, but we loved it (and keep away from the darker aspects of it in our discussion).

THANK YOU for coming on our journey with us this far, and stay tuned for future projects!

In our penultimate episode we turn our minds back to our younger and less experienced days and discuss the tumultuous world of sex and relationships from the perspective of 'the youth'.

It's not all anecdotal of course. We do our usual 'extensive research' and find out what the youth of today think about it all, as well delving a little into relationships with large age gaps.

This week's youth-related film is 'Everybody's Talking About Jamie'. We probably won't be talking about it much in the future, but there were some things we liked about it!

It is finally time to release our A to Z LIVE SHOW!!

In this first ever collaboration with the absolutely incredible Glitter & Titter Cabaret, we welcome special guests April Fiasco and Gigi Vin Rouge!

Gigi is a stand-up comedian and burlesque artist
combining sex and statistics like they've never been combined before. Sextistics if you will.


April Fiasco is the showgirl alter-ego of comedian Carmen Ali. A regular on the London Cabaret scene, she is resident host at Sexquisite Events & Co-organiser at Socialist Strip Club Cybertease. She has been featured by TimeOut, The Guardian, and the BBC, and has a whole host of awards and accolades to her name, including finalist at Burlesque Idol 2019, and LGBTQ New Comedian of the Year 2019. From threesomes to sx work, to the tragic absence of foreplay, she has a lot of stories to tell...

Of course, no Glitter n Titter show would be complete without compere extraordinaire, Gemma Layton, and the one who makes it all happen, the indomitable Ms Larissa Thorne!

There are songs, games, burlesque acts (audio only), and a lot of 'dirty talk' stories from us and our guests.

We had so much fun doing this episode, and we hope you have (almost) as much fun listening!

Extra special thanks go to: Tom the Tech, who has a couple of voice cameos and is the reason you can hear us at all; Stormina Teacup, who you won't hear, but who was making sure the show ran smoothly with her incredible stage management skills; our fabulous photographer @corsmedia; and our magnificent audience who made the show the success that it was!

We would also like to thank and pay tribute to two friends of the podcast who passed away this year:

Trixi Tassels was a friend and mentor to us both and was in the audience for our live show. We wouldn't be the performers, or people, we are without her, and her support meant so much to us.

Flavio Buonerba was not in the audience, but we would never have had the courage to put on a live show without his encouragement. He generously shared his time and expertise recording and editing some episodes of our show, even guesting on episode X of series 1. The show would not be the calibre it is without him and we will always remember and love him for that.

This week is all about friendships and relationships that come with added 'benefits'. We discuss the pros and cons of a typical 'with benefits' type setup, and explore what the 'benefits' actually are - is it just sex, or is there more to it? Can you, in fact, have a non-sexual friendship with benefits? We also look back fondly on our own 'with benefits' friends of the past.

This week's 'with benefits' related film is 'Y tu mamá también' directed by Alfonso Cuarón. We thought it was an excellent representation of these types of relationship, which navigates a beautiful line between humour and pathos.

TW: There are no specific trigger warnings, but the film discussion touches on the topic of terminal illness, in case anyone's feeling particularly sensitive to that right now.

Episode P was devoted to Penis, so it's only right that episode V should be all about the Vulva!

And we're not alone, as joining us this week is the lovely professional hula-hooper and graphic designer, Beth!

As we vivaciously vocalise about various things vulvic, we learn about similarities (and differences) in the arousal of different genitals, and discover that the vulva-owners among us know shockingly little about vulvic anatomy.

Our vulva-related film this week was Park Chan-Wook's 2016 film, The Handmaiden. The overall consensus was that we loved it, and were generally happy with the vulvic representation.

This week is all about celebrating the things that don't get enough attention - i.e. the sexually, sensually, and romantically Underrated!

Based on the anecdotes and experiences of their social circle, Raphael and Jacinta look at the sex and relationship related experiences that are overlooked, but delightful none-the-less, be it a touch of the waist, a caress of a leg, or a comfortable silence.

This week's Underrated-related film is Gilda, because *that* glove peel...

There are no trigger warnings this week!
