The Galloping Abs Society Galloping Abs

It's a Galloping Abs Society Holiday Special! We celebrate this magical time of the year with "Sleigh Bells Ring," by Jodie Griffin. Santa as a leather-clad dom in a BDSM scene with multiple reindeer shifters? We couldn't get more festive if we tried. Join us on this rollicking journey of Christmas-themed innuendo, very inventive sex toys, and some North Pole details we never knew we wanted to know. Plus, we're wowed by Tits Von Fappington's reindeer facts and Loins Haversham's mini talk about pain, pleasure, and brain chemistry!

Following hot on the heels of our in-person, all together, (FOR THE FIRST TIME!) Palate Cleanser, we surround a table and a microphone to speak sweet, sweet words of fairy porn into your earholes. That's right, we're talking about "That Time I Banged A Fairy," by Vivica Snow! Listen as our excitement to be finally amongst each other overrides any sense of patience or logic. We talk fairies, ADD, really firm fairy boobs, and how we're pretty sure all of the books we've read exist in the same universe. And to flutter your fancies, Tits Von Fappington whisks us away on a journey of fairy history!

For the first time in recorded history, the Galloping Abs Society members were in the same room! In celebration of this moment nineteen months in the making, we all participated in the greatest creative adventure possible: Madlibs. Listen in as we come up with four flawless tales of romance, drama, and genital euphemisms. 

Are you ready to gallop off into the sunset? Join us on our quest as we discuss "Unicornia" by Grace Risata. It's a veritable unicorn-ucopia of adventure, thrills, chills, and--surprisingly--genuine hilarity. If you thought that was the worst unicorn pun you've heard all week, don't worry, we've got more! Plus, we bring in a bit of history as T**s Von Fappington takes us through some unicorn lore. Saddle up and ride!

Did you think we were done with shifter books? Surprise! We talk about what might be our shiftiest one yet-- "Mounted By A Monster: Were-Puffer," by Mina Shay. Join us on a puffed-up journey filled with vapid characters, sudden plot bombs, disturbing anatomical transformations, and a cliffhanger that left us all feeling a bit deflated. Loins Haversham also leads us on a little trip through CRISPR-land, and T**s Von Fappington tells us about some of the weirder animal military experiments!

We've found ourselves in a tangled, dense jungle of shifter books, so to cleanse our palates, we talk about the animals we'd like to shift into. Which would be better, a dolphin or a duck? It turns out...neither, because they both suck. We also have a strange assortment of animal sex facts to tickle your fancies and turn your stomachs!
