It's time to get campy at this sleepover… Let’s talk about Dicks: The Musical! This episode is camp, this episode is queer, this episode is everything. Ariel and Morgan dive into one of the most unhinged, over the top queer sex scenes they’ve ever covered.

It all begins with a worm... stay with us. Ariel and Morgan dive into one of the most iconic, campy, and controversial BDSM films of the early 2000s. From awkward, deeply unsexy vanilla sex to one of the most unexpectedly erotic “no contact” scenes we’ve ever seen, this episode breaks down why Secretary works, where it doesn’t, and why people are still arguing about it. They get into it all: The Peter problem: when she’s asking for domination and he’s giving… absolutely nothing&nb...

They get into it all: The reality of prep, lubrication, and pacing (and what’s ...
This one is so real it hurts. Ariel and Morgan dive into PEN15 (Season 1, Episode 3: “Ojichan”).

From literally breaking a house down during sex to invisible hookups to whatever the hell is happening on that balcony… they have thoughts. They get into it al...
Get ready for one of the most bizarre and brazen films of a generation. In this episode, Ariel and Morgan travel back to 1968’s sci-fi cult classic Barbarella — a movie where Jane Fonda strips out of a spacesuit in zero gravity and later defeats a villain using… an orgasm machine. Yes. Really. The hosts break down how the film uses erotic spectacle, camp, and absurdity to create scenes that are both wildly objectifying and oddly revolutionary for their time. They get into it all: How the famo...
This one’s about awkward first times — featuring skinny jeans, bad geometry, and absolutely zero game. Ariel and Morgan sit down with intimacy coordinator and author Brooke M. Haney to break down the chaotic, vulnerable, and surprisingly tender hookup scenes from Booksmart: a film that proves intimacy on screen doesn’t have to be polished to be powerful. They get into it all: • Why awkward intimacy can still be choreographed and is not an excuse to skip process • The storytelling power ...
This week we’re diving into Insecure — and honestly? The range. Morgan introduces Ariel (who has never seen the show 👀) to two wildly different intimacy moments from Season 4: one chaotic, jealousy-fueled nightmare fantasy and one slow-burn reunion that might be one of the most emotionally satisfying TV hookups ever. We break down: How a comedic sex scene can be intentionally not realistic — and why that works“Pop the tags” and the audacity of imagining such a thingThe crackling eye contact, ...
