À propos de cet audio
Why do smutty books have such a chokehold on women? And why do we keep choosing fictional men over real ones?
In this episode of Book Bits & Chill, Cassie and Emily dive deep (pun fully intended) into the world of smut, erotica, and spicy romance — and why women can’t get enough of it. We talk about why women are turned on by words more than visuals, and how romance novels act as emotional foreplay and low-stakes escapism.
We unpack the difference between slow burn yearning and instant gratification, debate when smut enhances a story versus when it completely derails the plot, and explain why “men written by women” feel so unrealistic… and yet so necessary.
Emily steps into her role as the Smutty Professor to recommend the best smutty books for beginners, while Cassie argues that men desperately need a masterclass in yearning. Plus, we end with chaos: Two Truths and a Lie: Erotica Edition, where we test whether these unhinged plots are real books or pure fever dreams.
If you’ve ever wondered why smut improves your mood, your stress levels, and maybe even your sex life — this episode is for you.
