The F Plus - 382: Good Reads for Bad Needs
Episode Date: January 31, 2023Let's speak honestly for a moment: We're all intelligent, thoughtful, sexual beings, right? And as such, we desire intelligent, thoughtful, well-written pornography, don't we? I dunno, but anyway... here's some crap. This week, The F Plus learns the meaning of banal anal.

It's hard to pour beers when six guys are fucking you.
That's true, that's true.
You get jostled a little.
I'm writing about the book I read.
I have to sing about the book I read.
I'm embarrassed to admit it
It's the soft spot of my heart
When I found out you wrote the book I read
So take my shoulders and
Welcome to the F Plus Podcast
Terrible prose glistening with enthusiasm
In the room tonight we got Lemon
The beginning was a good build up
And then when the action started
It became very cheesy in the dialogue.
The sex talk was lame and not very original, but I did cum.
Jack Chick.
Vlot, I just want to end the Abdelorean pirate slave trade business and set Zorlocks free from their clutches.
Achilles Heelies.
They want to share me like a big
sign of beer and pass me around
so they can all taste my strudel.
Nutshell Gulag.
The Dark One had finally accepted
me just in time for everything
to change because Vane's
brother, the crocodile, had just arrived
on Neverland soil and
he's not alone.
And somehow only now, for the first time on the podcast, it's Turtle.
Yay!
He teases, he entices, he sucks, he fucks, and his machines do the rest.
This is how the legend of Dr. Jackmeoff was born.
Yes. Yes. Yeah! Yes.
Yes.
Yes! Yes!
And Boots Reingear,
as much as that prospect terrifies her,
Luana cannot deny being
intrigued by the hybrid she is to marry,
with his strange eyes full of stars,
his majestic wings, and his hypnotic
voice.
Hey, F-Bus.
Hello.
Hey, Boots.
I got a question specifically for Jack Chick.
Yeah, what's up?
Jack Chick, what you been reading lately?
Yeah, so I've been going, I've been trying to read through a bunch of murakami um and also uh you know uh books about artisan
cheesemaking okay is there any fucking in them i mean there's there's a bunch in the cheesemaking
yeah is that how you make the cheese yeah Yeah, that's kind of an advanced technique.
Nice.
Well, you know, there's all of that time you have to wait for it to age.
What else are you going to do?
But also, like, there's a number of very fine French cheeses that you have to squirt into.
Wow.
Wow.
So that's where that Listeria outbreak came from
That's how you get the stink
Wow this
What the fuck
So speaking of
Jack Chicks being the source of Listeria
We've got a document from
SecretGage in 69 and completely
Unrelated to that
It's about
Goodreads pages, articles, I guess.
Goodreads is a website for listing books
and reviewing books and having stupid opinions on books.
And this is all specifically for erotica found on there.
I'm pretty excited for this.
So are you trying to tell me that the books
That we're going to read
While erotic in nature
Will be, like, sophisticated?
Because I'm an intelligent person
Yeah, classy
I want my assy to be classy
Obviously
I brought you here
I brought Nutshell here
I brought Jack Chick here
I brought Turtle here And brought nutshell here about jack checker I brought a turtle here and
Achilles is also here
Achilles puts the anal in banal so so
lemon yeah could you uh start us off
give us the you know a little bit of a description for...
Description?
Description.
You really have to do it all the time?
Somebody's going to get smoked for this.
I went a little hard on the whiskey right
before we started, so I apologize.
You're doing an excellent job.
Thank you. Oh, that's great. It's good to hear.
I'll just...
Why don't we just wrap it up?
The problem is your morning time dot is right now um morning time that is time that is is gone we had to use
time.gov everything's been thrown out of whack i don't know what to do i'm i'm hosting this episode
uh uh lemon tell us about uh rock chick Oh sure You're into Rock Chick Rescue
So that's great
I just want you to know that there's
There's more to erotica than just 50 Shades
Whether headed for
Happily Ever After
Or just a momentary happy ending
These are good examples of what's beyond
Christian and Anastasia
Right? Okay
Yeah okay Now then Rock Chick Number 2 examples of what's beyond Christian and Anastasia. Okay.
Now then, Rock Chick number two.
This is a total
score of 4.3.
Jet McAllister.
Your name is Kristen Ashley.
Yeah, I'm Kristen Ashley. Yep, absolutely.
I'm a good reads author. Jet McAllister
has a secret.
Eddie Chavez has the hots for jet not to mention
eddie's just plain hot are those my secrets that yes my secrets are that eddie has the
her secret is unspecified because uh then apparently you'll want to read the book to
find out oh okay well i guess hopefully there's a series.
Okay.
So, yeah, Jet McAllister has a secret and then a completely different point sharing the same paragraph. Anyway, Jet has too many problems to realize that Eddie's interested.
Eddie loses patience when Jet ends her waitressing shift at a strip club with a knife at her throat.
Boom.
Yep.
Why is that her fault?
Let's move on.
Let's move on.
Since Eddie's a cop, he figures he can help.
Since Jet's used to solving everyone's problems,
she doesn't want Eddie's help.
That does sound like a real cop move.
What, holding a knife to her throat at closing time?
Yeah, absolutely.
I don't know.
It's not a gun.
Fair, yeah.
Throw in a Dolly Parton lookalike,
a gruff but lovable strip club owner,
Jet's ne'er-do-well father,
his ne'er-do-well friend.
The father's friend?
Neither of these people do well.
Never, never do they do well.
It's good that roustabouts have found a place in the world.
Yes, yes, vagabonds, yes, absolutely.
What about rapscallions, though?
So, yeah, the ne'er-do-well friend bear.
Bear, so I got the ne'er-do-well father,
then the ne'er-do-well's father's ne'er-do-well friend
Bear, then, since we're on the topic
of Bear, Bear's long-suffering
chain-smoking wife, Levon,
and the crew
from Rock Chick, and you've
got Rock Chick Rescue!
What the fuck is Rock Chick? So, apparently
only Bear and Levon
have names out of all the
secondary cast members.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They've done well enough for that.
I guess we would have had to have read Rock Chick 1
to understand what Rock Chick are.
You haven't?
I'm sorry.
Rock Chick Rescue takes you on a wild
ride with Jet, Eddie,
and the gang as they wrestle bad guys in a
bagel shop? Cool. Great.
They hit Denver's backstreet
poker tables with big hair.
Okay.
You parts that.
And they help the strippers at
Smithy's take down a would-be
murderer. Through
this, Jet's got to learn that even when life made you give up your dreams,
you can still end up with the hot guy.
Eddie's got to rescue Jet from a bad man
so he can do better things with her
and teach her that some dreams can come true.
I'm a writer.
You sure are.
You wrote all that.
I typed all of that.
That was some good typing.
Oh, I did just realize that I thought Eddie put a knife to her throat
because the way that was written was so poor.
No.
No.
Okay.
I get it now.
No.
Okay.
Cool.
No, Eddie just lost patience with her because somebody
put a knife to her throat. Yeah. Oh, God
again. Jesus Christ. Why do you keep on putting yourself in these
situations where you're victimized?
Because the writer's shitty.
That's why.
Goodreads has a section called Popular
Answered Questions. Victoria Town
has something to ask.
Nutshell?
I'm reading this book now. Anyone else absolutely hate that she calls her lady
bits her doodah?
It drives me crazy.
Put it in my
doodah.
Turtle, take Wheelie.
You're not alone. I also hated
her incessant use of the term
eek, too.
The character seems to be a 13-year-old tweenager trapped in the body of a 20-something.
Eek, my doodah!
Well, since they're all stealing from young adult novels, that's probably the case.
So 13 years old would not be a tweenager.
It's right there in the word, man.
And then Blackie Romance Addict has a review and also has placed it on several shelves.
Blackie loved this book.
Yeah, I rated this five out of five stars.
It's on my favorites, my favorites shelf, my favorite contemporary shelf, my red 2014 shelf, my five stars for enjoyment shelf, my read contempt modern erotica shelf, my red 2013 shelf, my red 2021 shelf, my review shelf, my red 2012 shelf.
You read this over four different years.
This is just a yearly read for this book.
Yeah, no, this is Blackie's Anna Karenina right here.
Three years in a row and then came back seven years later to be like, you know what, it's been a while.
I always find something new in the text.
Dog-eared, underlined, highlighter, notes in the margin.
Like, what does she mean by
Doodah here
Doodah
Doodah
Chiquita
Women spend a lot of time
Sitting around bitching that there are no
Good men out there
I hate to tell you this but there aren't a lot of
Good women either
The difference is when a man sees one, he knows it.
Then he goes after her and wears her down until she's his.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Hey, Lemon, you want me to make it worse?
Yep.
Yeah?
Then if he's any man at all, he won't let her go.
Yay!
That sounds healthy. That's a good romantic relationship to idealize.
Yeah, I like that.
I like that whole worldview.
That's all in quotes.
Is that from the book?
Yeah, that's from the book.
And then she posted the little, what do you call it, Hunger Games gif with the girl screaming,
I volunteer.
And then she actually starts talking underneath that.
Because she wants to get worn down.
Yeah, worn down and never let go.
I actually forgot how awesome this book was, Less Than Three.
Being the second in line, so many others came after it that were amazing
and pushed Eddie down on the list of
fad rc men but really eddie is less than three this one is fun like the rest of them with another
clueless heroine and a guy who's doing everything to make her see he won't let her go
thanks glam for rereading it with me less than three.
Every time it says, won't let her go,
I'm just matching a human-sized kennel in his garage.
Blackie, asterisk, romance addict, asterisk,
has rated 1,283 books on Goodreads.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Great.
I am right now at this moment creating a Goodreads account in order to find out what else Blackie likes.
Great, thank you.
You're doing the Lord's work, Larry.
I sure am.
Heelys.
I'm sorry.
Real quick, before we move on,
has anybody gone to the actual Smut for the Smart list?
No.
Okay.
So there's a link at the top.
And, you know, at the beginning, Lemon mentioned, like, you know, there's more to erotica than just Fifty Shades.
Yeah.
Right.
So I would just like to state that the number 27 book on the list is Fifty Shades of Grey
I'm surprised it's not higher
yeah like
there's more to it including
there's more to erotica
than Fifty Shades of Grey but that's still
inclusive of Fifty Shades
yeah yeah yeah Fifty Shades Darker
is 38 I like like 50 Shades.
What do I read now?
How about the back of a box of oatmeal?
Awesome.
Heelys, can you read us the description of the book Beauty's Punishment by, I don't know, some probably unknown author?
Oh, okay.
Well, yes. I am unknown.
I'm A.N. Rockalar, or otherwise known as Anne Rice.
Yay!
Oh, Lord.
My mama had a copy of Anne Rice's The Mummy,
and so I got to read all the sex scenes in that,
and that doesn't make me
look upon this kindly.
Well, this is
the delicious and erotically
charred sequel to the
Claiming of Sleeping Beauty
from the author of Beauty's
Kingdom. It is impossible
to read anything from Anne Rice without
using that voice.
I imagine
that you have, like, a beignet
at your desk just in case
the topic comes up.
Yes, of course.
This sequel to The Claiming of Sleeping
Beauty, the first of Anne
Rice's writing as A.N.
Roquelard, volumes of
erotica,
continues her explicit teasing
exploration of the psychology of
human desire.
Now Beauty, having
indulged in a secret and
forbidden infatuation with the
rebellious slave
Prince Tristan,
is sent away from the satiricon-like
world of the castle.
Sold at auction,
she will soon experience
the tantalizing punishments of
the village, as her
education in love,
cruelty, dominance, and
submission and tenderness
is turned over to the brazenly
handsome Captain of the
Guard.
Okay, so you did,
you took the story of O and you did like a find and replace
on proper nouns.
Is that what happened?
So because this is an Anne Rice book,
I'm pretty sure that that's not pronounced
the village, it's the village.
The village.
And once again rice's tale of pleasure
and pain dares to explore
the most primal and well
hidden desires of the human heart
this series
predates the eroticism of E.L. James
Fifty Shades of Grey and Sylvia
Day's Bear D.U. oh no this bracket
never ends
what did that have why did you say that gray and Sylvia days bared to you oh no this bracket never ends the bracket never ends
what did that have
why did you say that
because that's when S&M was invented
oh okay
so the real heads know
that Anne Rice invented S&M
yeah
hey my name's Hillary
I gave this a 3 out of 5 personally I don't find this book as enjoyable Hey, my name's Hillary.
Cool.
I gave this a 3 out of 5.
Personally, I don't find this book as enjoyable as the first.
Then again, I'm not really into pain and punishment.
Then why are you reading an S&M book?
Yeah, if you're not into punishment, why are you reading Anne Rice?
Yeah. Yeah.
Why am I doing this?
It's mentally stimulating,
but lack the depth of the first book.
Still a good read if you're into raunchy erotica.
And then,
fuck.
Lemon,
take Matt Pichochinsky.
Yeah, my name's Matt,
and this was three out of five for me.
This second installment
was to the first, as
Empire Strikes Back was to New Hope.
Fucking hell.
Thank you.
Goodbye!
I'd like to note that one of the shelf tags
for this book is
cringe-worthy.
Well, to an orgy, everybody.
Now I'm getting horny.
Hey, Turtle, could you read the next
book in the document?
I'd rather not read the next book.
Yeah, you have to read the whole thing.
Here we go.
You should have told me this. I had a time.
Just go into a corner.
Don't say anything out loud.
Just do it.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Ugh.
This is the sound.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Don't read it out. Oh, sorry.
Oh, yeah.
Don't read it out of the document.
Read it out of the actual page, because there's some more info on the actual page.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, let me pull that up.
Oh, goodness.
This is the claiming ofing of Wondrous Woman
in the Land of Ice and Snow.
Ah!
Superheroines in erotic...
Superheroines in erotic bondage number one.
That implies that she's going to make more.
What's the name of this author?
Bella Swan
Cool
Of course it is
Real quick, good news, they didn't make any more of these
Oh, thank god
Oh, so it's a collector's edition
Nipped it in the bud
Well no, this is the only one in the
Superheroines in Erotic Bondage
Category
This is a very explicit Well, no, this is the only one in the super heroines and erotic bondage category. Oh, okay.
This is a very explicit sex story of the claiming of Wondrous Woman, a superhuman alien who escapes an invasion of her home planet, Chrysalis.
Wondrous Woman?
Uh-huh.
Original character, do not steal.
Desperate to find a safe new world to live,
she crashes on Earth
and encounters a series of
dangerously erotic situations.
She first encounters the prehistoric
snake-like monster known as
the Manipogo.
Is that a real cryptid or something they made up?
Now, by real cryptid,
what do you mean? I mean, like, an already established cryptid or something they've made up? Now, by real cryptid, what do you mean?
I mean, like, an already established cryptid.
I'm googling.
Either I'm just gonna...
Nope, yep.
In Canadian folklore, the Manipogo is a lake monster
said to live in Lake Manitoba.
Keep going, Turtle.
After barely escaping the Manipogo
Wondrous Woman
Then encounters two CSIS agents
Who take the complete possession of her
As they arrest her
And take her back to a secret
CSIS lab
CSIS is the Canadian CIA
Yeah, it makes sense
Good, good
Are they also in Lake Winnipeg?
Yep.
That's just
where the lab is.
I guess we know where the author's from.
There she encounters the dangerous
Dr. Kanata and his brainwashed
lab assistant, Julia,
who work together to interrogate
a wondrous woman and break her...
Kanata is a neighborhood of Ottawa.
Dr. Kanata
and Julia.
Julia!
Interrogate Wondrous Woman and break her
through a combination of pleasure
and pain to Dr.
Kanata's will.
Warning.
Explicit sex story with elements of dubious consent.
Hypnosis, trans, sleep sex, tentacle sex,
dominant male, submissive female, lactation, anal, and BDSM.
Oh my god.
This is a work of fiction.
Good lord, Bella Swan.
What else can we fit in here?
That's what she said.
What else can we fit in here?
That's what she said.
Hey, my name's L. Steele.
I don't want to tell you about my book.
It's called The Billion... Sorry, we're in a category called Books About Billionaires.
Oh, boy.
It's a whole section.
It's a whole section, Books About Billionaires.
This is The Billionaire's Fake Wife.
Thanks, Secret Cajun Session. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a whole section. Books about billionaires. This is The Billionaire's Fake Wife. Thanks.
Secret Cajun Sushi.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is number one of the Big Bad Billionaire series.
I'm a big bad billionaire!
I never should have agreed to become his
fake wife.
Sinclair.
Sorry.
Sorry, this is a name. Sinclair I'm sorry. Amadeus.
Sorry, this is a name.
Sinclair Amadeus Sterling
aka Mr. Superior Jackass
with a god complex.
Also my blackmailer.
Gulp.
The first time I met him, I need him
in his very well endowed balls.
Don't ask. I'm not gonna.
Tall, dark, and gazillionaire growly pants. I'm not gonna. So when he offers me the chance to work with him, I can hardly refuse, right? Only catch.
I need to be his pretend wife for, hold your breath, 30 days.
I have to hold my breath the whole 30 days?
I don't think I could do that.
I should have turned and run, but, ellipses,
he has the connections to help my sister's failing health,
not to mention the money to wipe away my debt.
And yeah, that sneaky video recording of him getting me off.
OMFG.
Wow.
I can see why this is like a sexual character.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Besides, it's only 30 days a it's not like
i'm in danger of falling in love with london's most notorious bachelor then it reveals the real
reason for the charade sorry london then it reveals the real reason for the charade yeah thank you
thank you thank you and everything you. And everything changes.
Note, this is an enemies to lovers, fake marriage,
billionaire romance featuring a hot
possessive billionaire and the
curvy spitfire who dares to go
toe to toe with him. That's not like Fifty Shades of Grey
at all. Yeah, I really got the
sense that the female character was
a spitfire there.
It's very different because I think she's
like little in Fifty Shades and this one's
curvy. That's the difference.
Hey, Nutshell, could you read
this excerpt from this book for us,
please? Sure. It starts with
a quote that says,
You must forgive my lips. They find
pleasure in the most unusual places.
A good year, Director Ridley Scott.
And actually, even before that
is an ad for another thing
yes blame your free contemporary romance
box set
summer
slap slap kiss kiss
huh?
I stare at the bartender
aka there's a thin line between love and hate
he shakes out the crimson liquid into my glass
nah I snort
why would she allow him to control her after he insulted her?
It's the chemistry between them.
He lowers his head.
You have to admit that when a man is arrogant and a woman resists,
it's a challenge to both of them to see who blinks first, huh?
Oh man, it's too bad that Dracula has to take work as a bartender.
Why? I wave my hand in the air.
Because they hate each other?
Because, he chuckles,
the girl in school whose braids I pulled
and teased mercilessly
is the one who I
proposed to, I have.
His face lights up. You get it now?
Yeah, no.
A headache begins to pound in my temples.
This crash course in pop psychology is not why
I came to my favorite bar in Islington
to meet my best friend,
who is, I glanced at the face of my phone,
30 minutes late.
What amazing dialogue.
Really good prose.
You know what they say, kiss, kiss, slap, slap.
No, slap, slap, kiss, kiss.
Lemon, come on.
Okay.
Sorry, sorry.
Yeah, we got a book here called Billionaire Bosshole.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Look, I know that there's another book.
I know that there's another book, but we're not done.
But Lemon, that book is called Billionaire Bosshole.
Okay.
I know there's another book.
All right.
Can you read the review for the first one by Lucia?
Yeah, my name's
Lucia, maybe.
And this is a formal petition
for the hero to wash his ass in
balls.
He hasn't washed his ass in balls
once in this book.
I couldn't handle his mustiness seeping through the pages.
How am I supposed to get off to this?
That's her fancy internet speak way of saying that this guy sucks.
Musty?
Musty?
Yep.
Okay.
Thank you.
One out of five
let's see it does not care
for
billionaire's fake life
that guy needs to go wash his musty ass
yeah
hey Heelys
yeah
tell us a little bit
about billionaire boss hole
billionaire boss hole Heelyionaire boss hole.
I will, but I'm getting hot and bothered.
So first I have to say the thing I always say when I'm hot and bothered, which is...
Yeah, yeah, Garfield Faton!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
And you fit it in so elegantly.
Really natural feeling.
That's how you know I'm going to start.
This is our first recording following Garbage Day.
Would you like to explain what just happened?
No.
Okay.
No.
Don't.
No.
Don't.
All right.
Let's go.
Bye-bye.
Hi, I'm Laura Lee.
Boss hole.
Boss hole. Boss hole.
Now.
One, a person who turns into a massive jerk 10 seconds after being made supervisor.
Two, an employer completely devoid of empathy or concern for anyone else.
Three, a manager with whom you often disagree.
Also see, jerk boss, a dollar sign
dollar sign hole, and
egomaniac.
Wow.
Do you know the one thing
you should never do at work?
Your boss.
Oh.
I like it.
Sadly, following that particular
piece of advice is much easier said than done.
I haven't had a problem with it.
Yeah, disagree.
What?
It's just you, lady. It's just you.
Oh, man.
How many jobs have you had?
You mean you've had more than three jobs and you've never fucked your boss once?
Yeah, I'm a ya-ya. How did you have you had? You mean you've had more than three jobs and you've never fucked your boss once? Yeah, I'm a ya-ya.
How did you get those jobs?
I'm ya-ya Garfield Tana all over my office.
Oh, it's twice.
Yeah.
You can't bank them.
Ronan Maxwell is hands down the sexiest man I've ever met.
He's also...
He's Ron Atkinson.
Yeah.
He's also the pushiest,
most demanding,
most arrogant SOB on the planet.
And even though I can't stand him,
I never stop wondering how his ridiculously pretty mouth
would feel against my skin.
Or whether or not
that bulging pants is as impressive
as it seems.
For two years,
I had it under control.
But then one late night, all that
changed. Now that I know
firsthand how electrifying
his touch can be,
I want him more than ever.
Danger!
Danger!
Abuse a billionaire
And the longer we continue
This twisted relationship
The softer my heart gets
I only have one week left to live
There's holes in my heart walls
I have no idea what the future holds
But one thing I know for sure
This man has the power to break my heart
Break, break, break, break your heart
He's a billionaire
They can just do that
Yeah
He can probably steal all your internal organs
And get away with it
And that's one thing I can never let happen A billionaire boss holds a full-length you can probably steal all your internal organs and get away with it.
And that's one thing I can never let happen.
A Billionaire Boss Holds, a full-length, interconnected, stand-alone
novel, betting the billionaire world.
Oh, wow.
Betting a billionaire guidance.
This is nothing like
Fifty Shades of Grey.
No.
I'm going to read a short portion of... portion of i gotta read an excerpt of the
expert that uh the gaysian has provided with us yeah miss montgomery laughed yeah right that prick
is incapable of being nice and i'm still not convinced on your theory about the size of his
cock his special brand of assholery tells me he's compensating for something. Plus, he drives a McLaren.
I mean, come on.
If that doesn't scream tiny dick, I don't know what does.
I'd be more than happy to prove you wrong, sweetheart.
Fuck.
Said cock was getting painfully hard just thinking about it.
I pressed my open palm against my fly, willing to calm down.
I'd known Quinn Montgomery would be trouble at the moment I'd laid eyes on her.
Human resources handled all of the hiring around here, so I hadn't met her until her first day on the job.
When I'd caught sight of her long blonde hair, those bee-stung lips and luscious curves,
I'd instantly wanted to push her up against the wall and fuck her senseless.
Long blonde hair, you say?
Is her name short for Harley Quinn?
Hey, I don't know, Jack Chick.
No.
We're going to move in the category called
I Gotta Love Aliens.
Oh, no, but there's another book that I'm sure
is nothing like Fifty Shades of Grey.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Billionaires, Angels by...
Down to the masks on the cover.
Billionaires, Angels, Archangel Kisses by P.T.
No, but I want to go to a primating agency.
Damn it, read this I Married a Lizard Man book.
Yeah.
I Married a Lizard Man.
I want to hear about the eccentric billionaire Loki.
Loki D'Angelo.
Oh, wow.
All right.
Okay, so this book is called I Married a Liz it is by regine able uh it is the first in
the prime mating agency series regine able is a usa today best-selling author i don't believe
that's a thing yeah um the tagline is uh scaly grumpy but oh so cuddly as a third daughter on the farming colony of materion
susan's future prospects aren't too promising a pretty face top-notch skills and hard work mean
nothing if your dowry doesn't include fertile lands with her 25th birthday approaching and
no suitors even remotely sniffing in her general direction susan will be forced to
leave the family lands to work as an indentured servant in the capital city her only way out is
to settle for an arranged marriage through the pma the prime mating agency she just never expected
to be paired to a grumpy massive lizard man and above all not to grow so fond of his scales in quirky ways. I'm imagining now
that the sexy character
is Squidward.
One hope.
Sure.
With everything going on, the last thing
Olix needs is a mate.
Especially a squishy, scaleless
off-worlder with strange ways
and an obsession with farming.
He is a hunter, not a dirt digger.
The seer must have been mistaken when she insisted that, for the sake of the people, he take a mate from the stars.
How can such a tiny thing be their salvation?
And yet, his Susan's softness is disturbingly addictive while hiding a surprising resilience.
With his ancestral lands on the line
and the future of the clans threatened,
could this wisp of a woman turn their fate around?
Could they?
Like, you're asking me?
Yes.
Turtle, read this book next.
I just discovered that Goodreads has a nice top shelves for any book listed.
And you see that 40 people have put this on their marriage of convenience shelf.
It's in the shelves of kissing books.
What even is this?
14 people put it on virgin
heroin. Books that made me lose friends.
Did not finish
nine people.
And Turtle, you've got a...
Well, you're Nenia and you've got a review
of this. I am. I'm Nenia Campbell.
Nenia, I yeet my books back and forth, Campbell.
Great.
Okay.
I saw this book on Instagram and was instantly intrigued,
because while the cover screamed,
MONSTEROTICA,
the blurb seemed way more sophisticated.
It was kind of giving me Last Hour of Gan and Radiance vibes.
Two books I loved.
Okay.
The premise is also great, too.
Think Harvest Moon in space.
Yeah, the one thing I remember about Harvest Moon is all the lizard man fucking.
Mm-hmm.
I remember about Harvest Moon is all the lizard man fucking.
No, I feel like
once I realized that
there's girlfriends in Harvest Moon,
I'd stop doing any farming.
Susan is from a human
colony on a planet called
Materion, but only
first and second daughters get
married and land.
Third daughters, like her,
get to become indentured servants.
If they're lucky.
Cool.
Because of this, Susan agrees
to a marriage match between the
Prime Mating Agency,
which basically pairs
biocompatible humans with aliens on
other planets in economically
beneficial arranged marriages.
Basically.
Basically.
Susan ends up going to
a planet that begins with an X.
I can't remember what it's called.
Is it Xanadu? I hope it's Xanadu. Xenia Xerxes
something like that
anyway it's populated by
aliens called Aldurians
they smell terrible
that are hunter
that are hunter gatherers who live off the land.
It's incredibly fertile land, and people would like to use it for farming,
and part of Susan's goal in going there is to convince the aliens about its potential.
Susan's husband, Olix, is a total bae.
Oh, yeah.
Lizard bae. Lizard bae.
Lizard bae.
Lizard bae is trending this week.
He's the clan leader and an incredibly well-respected hunter.
He's also so respectful that he basically puts all human men to shame.
Sign me up for the next flight out to Lizardmandia.
Okay, bye!
After an awkward wedding ceremony
and an awkward wedding night,
they find out that each other's company
is incredibly agreeable.
The only problem is the farming.
Turns out he's got a cloaca.
No, they say more about that further down.
Oh, good.
Great.
Feel free to skip forward a bit.
Yeah, sure.
I'm just going to go ahead and list out some of the
things that I really liked
slash found humorous about this book.
Great. All the farming!
Oh god.
God. What?
Great.
There's the two chapters where you collect the
wolf pelts.
The hilarious sex scenes.
Were they supposed to be hilarious?
I don't know.
But with lizard men with retracto dicks whose splooge came...
Whose splooge cum that tastes like cotton candy.
You can't expect me not to laugh.
That's disturbing.
Cotton candy jizz.
Alright, never mind.
I'm fine with it.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It's, uh, it's, uh, this ain't Killer Clowns from Outer Space XXX.
Marriage of convenience.
High key one of... You forgot part of the hilarious sex scenes
oh I did you know I did forget
part of hilarious sex scenes you're right
thank you Nacho
yeah
also he is so
pleased at the honor
of being her first that he wears her
blood stained bed sheets
Jesus Christ
OMG vagina have her here first that he wears her blood-stained bedsheets. Jesus Christ! OMG!
Vagina have her here.
If it's her first time
or his first time
or their first time
and they bleed,
you did it
wrong.
You injured them.
You suck.
Would you say that if he's a lizard man with a retracto dick? injured them. You suck.
Would you say that if he's a lizard man
with a retracto dick?
He still sucks.
Marriage of convenience.
High key one of my
favorite tropes and it's handled really
well here.
That's your favorite
thing in porn?
Is when people are married for convenience.
All right.
I don't like anything else
that they like here. This is all bad.
Great.
But you're honestly blown away
by how fun it was.
Heelys, what the fuck did you find?
Heelys found a couple things, and I liked them both.
I liked a lot of them.
What's that first thing you found?
Well, let me read the description to you, then I'll tell you what it is.
Great.
Thank you.
This is by Fanny Tucker.
Conjured into joining your friend Jennifer at Miami's hottest nightclub,
Naomi has little hope
of finally meeting the man
who can satisfy
her strange,
unfulfilled fantasies.
When she meets Chuck,
she quickly realizes
that his obsession
with all things big
makes him the perfect man
for her kinky desires.
Things really heat up
when he gets Naomi home
and she reveals
the true nature
of her lust.
This is the story,
Nostril Fucked by the Micropenis.
Surprise!
Somebody cling to the rules
of the Tingleverse title thing,
but not the spirit.
Nope.
Yeah, can I read you the titles
of a few other books by Fanny Tucker?
Yeah, please.
Yeah, there's Garden Gnome Gangbang,
Ravaged by the Gingerbread Man,
Yep, that makes sense.
I Fucked the Puppet,
and then
I Fucked the Puppet!
Yeah, I Fucked the Puppet.
That one has an average of 3.2 stars.
Has a very good book cover.
Hey, Bliss.
Yeah.
My name's MJ Edwards.
Experience satisfaction like no other.
Have you ever needed to go so bad it hurt?
And when you finally went, how did it make you feel?
Pretty good.
Good? Of course it did.
Of course it did. Don't be afraid to admit it.
Stella Stipsy has been in the bathroom so long,
she's forgotten just how good a satisfying poo can be.
Until one day, she lays one out that makes her feel
so alive. She realizes
something that exhilarating
must have a higher purpose.
It must be here for a reason.
Because when you have the
perfect poo, our emotions
can get the better of us.
Or could it really be true love?
Her in the toilet?
Two people are currently reading this.
87 people want to read this.

Also, under the covers with a flashlight.
With a flashlight in it.
I want to tell you a little bit about Accidentally Faded.
Oh, cool.
Great.
A rejected mate sci-fi romance by Athena Storm and Tara Star.
Okay.
This has an average rating of 4.29.
Most people welcome.
I will say, if you're listening to this podcast, please take a moment at some point, not if you're driving, but look at the document.
There's a picture of the cover of this book, and it is amazing.
Yeah, no description could do it justice.
It is absolutely amazing.
Yeah, no, I think the description is, ah!
Yeah, okay, there you go.
If we had Frank West here, we could do a better interpretation of it.
Most people welcome their fated mates with open arms, right?
Yeah.
No.
Why did I have to get the one man in the universe not interested in love?
The handsome Dragonian warrior with the killer body ruined my life.
Literally.
He's the reason my lab is a smoking pile of rubble,
my condo is in flames, and my life's work is gone.
So what if he saved me multiple times?
Let's not even mention how my body came to life when he carried me to safety.
His strong, muscled arms held me so close
to our hearts beat in unison.
I feel like you're mentioning it right now.
Yeah, that's sweet and all, but let's
talk about my ruined life.
Great! Yay!
How after him I'm ruined for
any other man. How my mind is
ruined with excitement when I'm next to him.
How my body has been ruined
with the desire for
his touch
my whole life is gone I'm completely
at the mercy of his hungry eyes
and cold heart
I don't want to love him
I should hate him
but I kind of love to hate him
because
because yeah
we may argue but the making up, it's so explosive.
Authors note, this is a completely standalone novel set in the Athenaverse.
Even if you've never come into the Athenaverse, you'll be able to enjoy this science fiction romance that has no cliffhangers or cheating and guaranteed happily ever after.
Oh, don't spoil it.
That's nice.
Traditional marriage.
Good.
And Jack, could you read this short excerpt from this book from chapter four?
Yeah, this is this chapter is called Ashley.
My scientific brain was infuriated at the throbbing hormone that stood before me.
Singular? What?
I guess so.
Yeah. I don't
understand why this is confusing. My scientific
brain was
infuriated at the throbbing
hormone that stood
before me. I forget.
Nutshell, are women's minds
bifurcated into scientific
and unscientific brains?
Absolutely they are.
Okay.
Okay, good.
Thank you.
Oblivious to the amount of destruction he had unleashed around him.
Other parts of me were thinking all sorts of other things.
Yay!
But that was the unscientific brain, so I can't really tell.
That's a complete sentence.
Did I leave the oven on?
Things that made no logical sense.
With a stunning amount of effort, I pushed those thoughts aside.
We stood, eye to eye, daring the other to blink.
I had to admit, watching him get dressed down was very satisfying, as was watching his
muscles clench in frustration. Damn it, move on, Rene. I'm sure there was a scientific explanation
for these conflicting thoughts, but I wasn't too interested in exploring that right now,
and it seemed I wouldn't have the chance, not right away anyway.
This is one of the virginiest books we've ever read.
Yeah.
I want to hear more of it.
The next book in the document is called I Promise for Vore,
and it's about a person named Vore,
and it doesn't seem to be about eating people,
so that's boring.
No, no.
Boo. Boo.
Boo.
But Lemon, tell us about
Demon on the Down Low.
Oh, sorry, we're shifting
and monster loving. We're in shifting
and monster loving. There's a picture
of a guy pretending to be Edward Snowden
on the cover of this book, so
we're pretty happy.
Yeah, so this is in this is supernatural selection number three what yeah read the read the little bit of text in the on on the the fake
polaroid on the uh the cover of this it's on it's on a spare drum yeah demon on the download download
has a hyphen in it uh supernatural selection and then uh there's a little Polaroid. Caption on the Polaroid says Goodem wultum
nis ruum. No PDA.
Discretion a must, or there'll be
hell to pay. Okay.
Great. After
decades of...
This is a 4.21, so pretty good.
It's over 554 ratings.
After decades
of unrequited love,
this kangaroo will jump at the chance for a date.
Any date.
Lovelorn kangaroo shifter Hamish Mulhern, the drummer for the hit rock band Hunter's Moon,
waited years for the band's jaguar shifter bassist to notice him.
God, J.J. Abrams is such a good writer.
Oh, dude.
Instead.
What?
You're just right there in the world, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Instead, she's just gotten married and is in a thriving poly relationship.
Oh, we're here already.
Okay, cool.
How is Hamish supposed to compete with that?
Hamish.
Hamish? Okay, great.
How is Hamish supposed to compete with that?
Probably differently.
But with everyone else in the band
mated and revoltingly happy,
he needs somebody.
Since he can't expect True Love to strike
twice, he signs up with
Supernatural Selection. Because what the hell? Since he can't expect true love to strike twice He signs up with supernatural selection
Because what the hell
Did true love strike once?
Yeah, yeah
It was only a bland blow
Unrelated to this blurb
You didn't read the pre-blurb
There's a whole thing
Right, no, is it true love with the bassist who does not like him or care about him?
Perhaps.
Perhaps.
Yeah.
Like, one thing we've learned from this document is that love looks weird.
Yeah, fair enough.
Yeah, all right.
Love looks weird and walks funny.
When Zeke Oz was placed at Supernatural Selection through the SHIELD work-release program,
he thought he was the luckiest demon alive.
But when he seems responsible for several massive matchmaking errors,
he's put on notice.
Find the perfect match for Hamish, or get booted back to SHIELD for good.
The only catch?
He's got to do it without the
agency's matchmaking spells.
What? But how's he gonna do that?
And Hamish simply will not engage.
It's like a
casual phone game, but a book.
But Zeke starts to believe
that all the reason,
the reason all of Hamish's dates
fizzle is because nobody in the database
is good enough for him.
And Hamish realizes that his perfect
match might be the cute
demon who's trying so hard to make
him happy. That's not a plot.
That's not a plot to a book.
You forgot to have a plot.
Oh, well, you know,
Phrasing Complex is here and has some objections
to make about it
Oh no
Russell has unfortunately
confused a British dialect
with the Australian language
which really pee-bang
dolla dolla did me off
Now? Now?
Now
Now
Just to note a few
Bollocks, sod, and init
Are all predominantly British
Okay, okay
Especially
Big bold here
Especially init
Teakettle Holy crap If someone said that here Oh, big bold here. Especially in it. Tea kettle?
Holy crap.
If someone said that here, they would forever be nicknamed tea kettle,
and it would likely end up on their gravestone.
Here lies tea kettle so-and-so.
Nice.
Real good.
Real good.
Good routine.
Are there no tea kettles?
Like, there's no...
Like, how do you make tea in Australia?
I don't understand.
Let him keep reading.
No, they just drink Vegemite.
Oh, God.
You put it in a tea swabbler.
Oh, of course, a tea swabbler.
Australians do not say
our sober tea kettle.
End of story.
All right. Alright.
Great.
Bogan is a term akin to redneck.
One would not disparage oneself by thinking,
I am a total bogan, as a reaction to a screw-up.
God, I'm just drifting between Australian and British and kind of New Zealand-ish,
and part of the problem is every time I read a word it fucks me up.
Just like this book!
Yeah. Yeah. It's appropriate. and kind of New Zealand-ish, and part of the problem is every time I read a word, it fucks me up. Just like this book!
It's appropriate.
It also only came in the 1980s and, therefore, would be lost
on this character.
He should have called himself a dropkick drongo!
Drongo!
The Victorians didn't send the convicts to Botany Bay as they were still the English then.
Australia had yet to even be named Australia.
Victoria didn't even exist yet.
Virtually no Aussie would make that mistake, especially because of the still prevalent controversy slash animosity regarding that period of Australian history.
And as the character is supposed to be Australian.
Yeah, fucking colonials.
I know there should be some leniency to give way for creativity and suspension of reality,
but this just feels like misrepresentation that could have been easily counteracted.
Evidently, I feel strongly about this matter.
I wanted... This weird kangaroo is offensive.
I wanted more realism in my fucking kangaroo jaguar book.
Kangaroo jack? More like kangaroo jaguar book. Kangaroo Jack?
More like Kangaroo Jack Off.
Hey, Nutshell.
Yeah?
You're going to take the role of Scarlet Hyacinth
here. Oh, boy.
Isn't that a kind of...
Isn't that a kind of parrot?
Scarlet Hyacinth.
It's a color of a flower.
Oh, oh good.
This has...
I read forward in this
a little bit, and it has all sorts of...
This is a Siren Publishing Classic.
Fun stuff. Siren Classic,
Man Love, Erotic, Alternative, Paranormal,
Romance, MM, Shape Chipters,
Light BDSM, Spanking,
and Sex Toys. The one that they don't mention here is Mpreg! Romance MM shapeshifters like BDSM, spanking, and sex toys.
The one that they don't mention here is Mpreg.
Yeah, that's just fun when it sneaks up on you.
Sushi or soulmate? What a ridiculous question. There is no doubt in Sharkshifter Byron's mind that when he feels for Seymour, Skyler is genuine.
But Byron is well aware of the difference
between them. He is a monster, and that
puts sweet-natured Skylar out
of his reach. In his fear
of hurting Skylar, he pushes the Seahorse away.
But when Skylar's attacked,
Byron knows he cannot stay away from
Skylar anymore. Skylar
has always been searching for his soulmate, that
special person he would share his life
and innocence with.
When he meets Byron, he instantly
feels the bond between them. In Byron's
power and forcefulness, he finds an anchor.
But even as they attempt to build a life
together, there are still many challenges ahead.
When Skylar unexpectedly becomes
pregnant, because he's a seahorse,
guys!
Byron will have to deal
with fatherhood, even though that's not how
seahorses work!
With fatherhood, and protect
his new family from an unexpected
threat.
So the one man shapeshifts
from a man into a shark,
and the other man shapeshifts from a man
into a seahorse.
Are they the same sizes as each other?
Is it a real small shark or a real big seahorse? Really, there they the same sizes as each other? Like, is it a real small shark
or a real big seahorse?
Really?
There's no good and happy answer
for that, Lemon.
Lemon, aren't you looking
at the picture of the cover?
Oh, they are the same size!
You're right,
they are the same size.
Okay.
The cover makes it look like
the shark is, like, his hand.
I just...
Like, they're trying to look
at each other's eyes,
but they both have eyes on the sides of their faces.
They can only do it one eyeball at a time.
My name is Otilia,
and I gave this a 2.5.
I learn
all kinds of things when I read MM,
like the fact that sharks have two dicks.
Oh, I don't think that's right.
Nope.
That's what I read in this.
How many penises do sharks have?
Skylar is a seahorse shifter,
and he's had the hots for Byron,
the shark shifter, for a while,
but Byron's not interested.
Or at least that's what Skylar thinks.
In fact, Byron is very interested,
but is afraid of hurting the delicate-looking Skylar with his massive size and beady SM kinks.
He's also afraid of scaring him off with his two dicks thing.
But Skylar finds that he enjoys pain and having two cocks inside him, so it's all good.
Okay, so Discovery says that actually sharks do have two penises sort of known as claspers
these two reproductive organs are only on male sharks the writing of the plot made me a little
bit so much so i thought they'd fall out of my head but i decided i'd just go with it and turned
out to be an okay read it's the fifth in the series There's a whole universe here
That we really have to
You know what the series is right
You know what the series is
The series is called the mate or meal series
It started out with the lamb who cried wolf
Right
Then there was the wolf who hatched an egg
Which is wolf slash swan
Then there is the love he squirreled away Wolf who hatched an egg, right? Which is wolf slash swan.
Then there is the love he squirreled away.
That one is wolf slash squirrel, obviously.
Then there is the lynx who claimed the sun.
I think it's a hummingbird.
Lynx and a hummingbird, it looks like.
Then the shark who rode a seahorse.
We're familiar.
Then the gazelle who caught a lion.
Perfect.
Except I still don't know. We're kind of running a little low,
so it's the demon who fed on a shark.
Then it's the seahorse who loved the wrong
lynx, so like, that's a
real, that's a genuine fish out of
water situation.
Then there's the lynx who purred for
a side prince.
The half-breed who found his other half.
The swan who flew after a wolf.
Oh my god, we keep going.
Back to my review.
I'm really only interested in this two
cocks thing. Do I need to read
all these other books?
See, they're not actually
cocks, though. They're just modified pelvic there were a
couple things that i didn't like i wanted more bnsm there was some mild spanking and one whipping at
the beginning and then nothing until the very end after all the talk from byron about how past
lovers couldn't keep up with them it was a bit of a letdown was the spanking while you were in shark and seahorse form was was the shark spanking
the seahorse with a fin the answer to that's going to be disappointing so let's just say yes
all right all right great uh the other thing is skylar is not telling byron he could get pregnant
that was just not cool when byron was completely shocked that he knocked skylar up and then yells
at him that maybe you should have let
Byron know that this could happen, Byron's excuse is
I didn't know how to tell you.
And Byron is the one that feels bad for
yelling at him. Arrgh, that shit bugs
me a lot. And then
yeah.
Great.
Still, this was better than the dolphins, but not
as good as the arca.
I'll just stop there.
Okay, great.
Fantastic.
Hey, Heelys.
Yeah, what's up?
We're moving into the category of undead lovers.
Of course.
Yeah, could you just, I don't know, tell us a little bit about the first book in this category?
Yeah, could you just tell us a little bit about the first book in this category?
Do you mean Kickboxer in the Haunted Gay Gym?
Yeah, that's the one.
Oh no, there's a kickboxer in this haunted gay gym.
That person looks like they have too many abs.
Yeah, yeah, this person's got a 12-pack.
Cory's a handsome kickboxer with a blown-out knee. Down on his luck
and out of a job, he gets a letter in the mail.
He's won a free lifelong
membership to a legendary gym.
But wait,
wasn't that closed down?
The Hanan gym was
closed down, but it's reopening
just for Corey.
The ghosts need a hot
jock body medium to contact
the earth again, and in this gym
you'll be tantalized by the ghosts
and spirits of sex and lust
and ways his tight athletic
body has never seen before.
The ghosts of day sex
will visit Corey.
Three times.
Go ahead and please just read a short excerpt from this.
Corey's jockstrap slid down his beefy thighs and dropped to the floor.
He let a small moan go as he felt an electric tingle circle his thickening cock.
circle his thickening cock. Electric tingles of sensation began tracing up his body over his rippling abs and across his rock-hard pecs. Corey could feel his shirt being pulled up and over his
head. He watched as it floated gently to the floor. He couldn't see anything in the long,
full-length mirror but himself floating in the air
as a blue electric glow
crackled around him.
His whole body felt wonderful,
as the energy concentrated on
certain parts of his body.
Two weeks ago,
Corey had gotten a card in the mail.
He had won a raffle and the first prize was a lifelong
membership to Wilson's gym.
The strange thing was Corey didn't remember entering any raffle, and the even prize was a lifelong membership to Wilson's gym. The strange thing was Corey didn't remember
entering any raffle, and the even stranger
thing was he thought that Wilson's been closed
for years. The strangest thing
is that apparently ghosts
can use the postal service.
Yeah, there's a lot of strange things in electric tingles.
Yep. Yep.
Coming about to the end here,
Jack Check. Hi. Hi. uh coming about to the end here check check hi uh hi uh uh take uh take take the description
of daisy harris's book here oh are you talking about uh uh lust after death uh love bots number
one yeah uh and also this i don't know what this heading at the top means. Allura's Cave Twilight?
Yeah.
Lust After Death is my favorite Love and Rockets album.
In the Pacific Northwest, where life hurries to keep pace with technology,
a reanimated bride named Josie struggles to escape her creator
and to find her identity
in the half-erased circuitry
of her mind and body.
Assassin Bane
Connor
just wants to get the girl
to the zombie underground
and receive his payoff,
a mental reset that will erase his memories as well as his guilt.
But an attack by a rival faction derails his rescue,
and the wide-eyed female,
female,
female,
the wide eyed female
I will claim as my
prize
whose circuitry
requires a husband
tears at his hardened heart
and ignites desire like
he's never known
acting as Josie's spouse
substitute is tougher than
assassin Bane Connor expected.
The newborn Stein needs touch to live?
And what?
And wanting her is a complication he doesn't need.
To make matters worse, she sees into the darkest recesses of his mind.
The last thing a killer wants is for his lover to read his thoughts.
But if Josie can love him the way he's programmed, perhaps assassin Bane Connor can find a way to heal his past.
Aw.
Table available for assassin Bane Connor.
Bane Connor. Baneane Connor report to the courtesy phone
Yeah and go ahead and read
The excerpt
Oh sorry it's not an excerpt it's a review by Kelly
Sorry
Nutshell
Could you be Kelly
I could try.
Oh, guys!
Oh, guys!
I swear to you that this book was written expressly for me.
That our zombie-type folks who fall in love and have dirty, dirty sex will be hunted down by nefarious evil corporation bliss!
Did I mention the part about the dirty sex soon?
That was nice.
Bane and
Josie have excellent chemistry.
Even when he's trying to keep his distance,
Bane is drawn to her.
Her particular quirk, needing
touch to survive, puts him in the position
of getting very personal very fast.
And it worked.
It totally worked.
I loved that Josie was basically a clean slate when it came to sex
she got to learn things as they happened
i liked that and i love that bane had the opportunity to explain what to call his part
thumbs up honest to gosh i had a lot of fun with this book. It had the sex that I
like, the bad guys who were creepy,
scary, and enough sparks to set a house
on fire. Zombie
love. Who knew it
could be so fun?
Wow.
She sounds fun.
She sounds like something.
I'm honestly
entirely enraptured by the
by the Lovebot series
by Daisy Harris Lemon
could you read the description to the second book
in the series that I just pasted
yeah so this is Studentstein
by the way you said
you know in a nutshell
I'm sorry you didn't appreciate Daisy Harris' work
because you said that zombies, no, no, no
Daisy Harris works in the
Frankenstein
she works in the Stein genre
they're reanimated
by science
as opposed to
Stein genre
it's the Stein genre, yes, absolutely
Franken-Ben. Yes, absolutely. Frank and Ben Stein.
Yes, absolutely.
Anyway.
Book two in the Lovebot series.
A man built for sex.
A woman who wants more.
Freedom fighter Shani Brown is determined to drag the ungrateful Royce back to her team in Seattle.
is determined to drag the ungrateful Royce back to her team in Seattle.
Despite his denial of mistreatment, she wants to give him a chance at a better life. Due to her horrific past as an unlicensed love bot,
Shawnee never plans to have sex again,
but Royce's makers punish him remotely with crippling pain.
His only escape is to orgasm.
Good.
It's pretty much crank.
It's pretty much crank now.
Oh, okay.
Good.
Yeah.
Never one to turn her back on a job.
Shani finds herself servicing him and soon after caring for him.
Love bot Royce Harden wasn't looking to be rescued,
especially not from the San Francisco BDSM club where he was having a perfectly good time. What?
What? face his vanity, his makers, and even the loss of his sexual upgrades!
What? He's going to be the man that Shani is. No, yeah, he has to
start over at level one.
To turn in all
of his gear. Does he have to go
through the tutorial zone again?
It's the
Metroid of robot fuckbooks.
At Turtle,
fortunately this is a completed trilogy.
There's a third book in it called
Built For It.
Book three
in the Lovebot series.
When a riot erupts in
Built For's Stein
Building Lab, the
Alpha Stein, Key, drags a submissive young lab assistant
into his cage.
Key's been studying the human.
Ben's sad eyes and slender form call to Key, urging him to equal parts lust and possessiveness.
Prisoner to the Alpha, Ben surrenders to the Stein's fierce determination
and gentle seductions. He's long hated his job, feeling like a monster for following his boss's
orders, especially once he's seen intelligence flickering in the Alpha's green eyes.
If Key's to escape, he needs Ben's help to learn about the world
outside the laboratory.
A world full of people, sex,
and experiences.
Key's only beginning to discover.
Experiences, you say? Okay.
What do you call this,
human? It's a Krispy Kreme!
You're gonna love him!
Guilt-ridden over the things he's done ben can only forgive himself if the alpha forgives his sins first jack jack chick just found the website for kelly apple

So, uh, yeah.
This one is called A Partridge in a Pregnancy just in time for Christmas.
And a pregnancy.
It doesn't work, though. Nope, sure doesn't.
I'm a quince can. There are a lot of places
I'd rather spend Christmas Eve morning than
on a cold, snowy sidewalk outside
someone else's home. I'd kill to
be sitting beside a fireplace, drinking cocoa,
wearing flannel pajamas, and reading a book.
Instead, I'm here, standing in front of my one-night-stands house,
working up the courage to ring the doorbell and tell him I'm pregnant.
Wait, why are you Nixon?
I thought he was going for Garrison Keillor.
Okay.
No, I was doing Nixon.
Oh, okay.
All right.
No, I don't know why.
I mean, both sexy men.
Both sexy.
Equally.
I hate that term.
One night stand.
It sounds so cheap and sleazy.
Tobias Holiday is neither of those
things. He's handsome and caring, witty and charismatic, and once, a long time ago, he was
mine. Our one-night reunion was only supposed to be a hookup, a fling with an old lover,
a parting farewell before I moved to London, Ontario, and put my feelings for him an ocean away.
How exactly am I supposed to explain to Tobias that I'm having a baby, his baby?
Maybe I could sing it.
He always loved the silly songs I made up in the shower.
Three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge and a pregnancy.
Oh, amazing.
Hilarious.
That's your holiday caroling repertoire.
Book three in a Christmas series.
Okay, F+, what do you think we learned from all this?
Like, okay, first of all, there's only, only apparently there's only like three different
porn books right yeah yeah yeah there's like three different porn books that exist and we're
just going to keep writing them hundreds of thousands of times and they're just basically
young adult novels where they aged up the characters and put in smut yeah yeah so yeah
i mean sometimes there's cowboys.
We didn't read any of those, but sometimes there are.
Yeah.
Yeah, but that's not a new story just because there's cowboys.
But it could be.
It's a little bit of a soccer-themed erotica.
What is the cowboys like a dinosaur shifter, though?
Is it a new story then?
Yeah, that would definitely be a new story.
I'm pretty sure that's a Chuck Tingle book poundedounded in the Ass by a Dinosaur-Shifter Cowboy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wait, so is a...
Are they doing the work of a cowboy as the dinosaur,
or do they switch from being the dinosaur to the cowboy?
But I like the idea of just being a normal nerdy person, and then they switch from being the dinosaur to the cowboy? But I like the idea of just being like a normal nerdy person,
and then they switch into a cowboy dinosaur.
I like the idea of a dinosaur who just turns into a cowboy during the full moon.
Well, we already knew that about you.
Like all of a sudden, he's still T-Rex,
but like a little hat like spontaneously appears on his head, and he goes around saying, Howdy, howdy, howdy, I of a sudden, he's still T-Rex, but, like, a little hat, like, spontaneously appears on his head.
And he goes around saying, howdy, howdy, howdy, I'm a cowboy.
Yeah, I was actually really surprised that there was so little variation in what we ended up reading tonight.
I feel like there's a lot of, I mean, I feel like there's... Like in any other form, right?
I mean, this is a very internet form.
And so...
Because it's sort of profit motive,
everyone's kind of driven
by the same algorithm.
Well, I think it's also because it's
low-tier
romance novels.
It's all the
creativity is in
oh, this guy's
some weird alien and this girl's
like a human.
Probably.
And that's like where all the
creativity goes and then it's like
everything else is just
boilerplate cookie cutter.
Yeah, it's a caveman and a woman
and then they go on 95 dates,
and they have really good sex, and it's really nice.
Because I've...
Spoiler alert or shocking revelation,
I have read some romance novels in my life.
Sure, yeah.
And some of them are, you know, actually pretty good.
Yeah, I'll bet.
But that's like... And then there's all of these yeah i mean i mean i mean genre fiction
right you're gonna have like there's good stuff and bad stuff in any given genre like yeah like
horror you know that it could either be groundbreaking and cool or it could be
slashes all the teenagers and whatever it's groundbreaking's okay. They're just silly.
Yeah, and the
other thing we're seeing in this is
the people reaching to be the next
Fifty Shades, and the people reaching
to read the next Fifty Shades, I guess.
Yeah, yeah.
They know what they like, and
that's what they like.
Yeah.
I mean, it's, you know, it's
pretty, like,
the thing about, like, E.L. James
specifically is that, like,
is that, like, I mean,
she's a great aspirational figure
because, like, if you're
a dog shit writer,
like, you can be like, well,
this woman called herself
fucking Snow Dragon. She called a dog shit writer, right? Like, you can be like, well, this woman called herself fucking
Snow Dragon.
She called herself
Ice Dragon Moon Queen
and wrote
Twilight porn
and made a gazillion dollars.
Yeah.
And if you write
Twilight porn and want to make no dollars,
you can come to Ball Pit.
That's B-A-L-L-E dot I-T.
Thank you.
Awkward silence.
Bye.
Bye. Hey, little lady, how you feeling?

No, it's a fleshlight.
Honey, honey.

Glow-in-the-dark flashlight. Glow-in-the-dark.

I want one that I can bring to
the flashlight forums and the flashlight
forums. It's probably alien-themed, and
they call it Area 69 or something stupid like that.
