Between the Folds: Literature is Lube

Ep. 13 - Pounded by Produce: Bless Me Father, For I Have Cucumbered

Strap in freaky little strumpets because this week we are going to church and absolutely nobody is getting saved. Pounded by Produce by G.M. Fairy answers the question no one asked — what if Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber were secretly-in-love Catholic priests who get cursed by an angel-witch to turn into actual produce, and then a woman rubs them all over her body until everyone finds God? We discuss the confessional scene that had all three of us on our knees, Jess's first five-star read of 2026 being about cucumber f*cking, Elisa's firm stance that gourds look like they have gonorrhea, which produce we'd each grab from our own fridges in a pinch, Lindsay's grape-based OnlyFans venture that no one asked for, a Japanese man who crushed 78 walnuts with his butt cheeks in 30 seconds, and the Cucumber Cleanse of 2017 that healthcare providers would like you to forget. Lusty Lieutenant Lindsay leads the charge this week and she came prepared — she's been training for this since she lip-synced Silly Songs with Larry in front of her entire middle school. Spoilers always. Judgment never. Veggies can't sin.

Ep. 12 - Alien Quarantine Rescue: Glitter Cum, Subway Sandwich Balls, and the Sleepgasm We Deserved

Buckle up freaky little strumpets because this week we are leaving the atmosphere and none of us are coming back the same. Alien Quarantine Rescue by Robin Lovett asks the important question — what if the pandemic had been solved by a naked alien with a shiny vibrating dick and testicles the size of a Subway footlong crashing into your backyard? We discuss the glitter cum, the physics defying anatomy, the sleepgasm Lindsay had the morning of recording, Jess's scientific research into exactly how long twelve inch testicles would actually be, and whether Pfizer missed a critical opportunity. Written during 2020 and somehow more plausible than whatever else was happening that year. Janitor of Joyful Orifices Jess leads the charge this week and she came prepared. Spoilers always. Judgment never. Science always.

Ep. 11: Pucking Wild: Reverse Age Gap, Forward Pegging, and a Slow Burn That Almost Killed Us

This week on Between the Folds, your three favorite freaky little strumpets are lacing up their skates for Pucking Wild by Emily Rath — book two in the Jacksonville Rays series. A 33-year-old attorney, a 22-year-old hockey boy with surprising emotional range, and one morally bankrupt ex-husband who refuses to sign the damn papers walk into a reverse age gap romance... and it's practically a Hallmark movie. With pegging. We've got feelings about the slow burn (too slow), the character inconsistency (too much), and the butt plug scene (just right). Also: a full education on spit roasting, the Eiffel Tower, and strapless strap-ons, courtesy of Elisa's Half-Cocked Internet Research. Plus Jess has a divorce-era personal breakthrough, Lindsay is firmly Team Jake, and we all agree: puppy and ma'am are NOT sexy pet names. Buckle up, strumpets.

Ep. 10 - When Your Stalker Brings Snacks: Lights Out Book Review

This week, the Between the Folds crew dives into Navesa Allen's "Lights Out," a stalker romance that's equal parts steamy and surprisingly wholesome. Join Jess, Lindsay, and Elisa as they unpack the story of Josh, a reclusive cyber genius with a TikTok mask account, and Ally, a trauma nurse who accidentally falls for her ex's masked roommate. But the real star of this episode? Narrator Jacob Morgan's voice, which has the hosts completely hypnotized. Seriously, they mention him approximately 47 times (yes, we counted). The conversation covers everything from consent in stalker romances to the logistics of having nipples for teeth, plus a deep dive into why this "soft-core stalking" left them divided. Lindsay wanted it darker, Jess was completely satisfied, and Elisa... well, she DNF'd it the first time but came back for the woods scene. Expect hilarious debates about mask kinks, passive-aggressive Minnesota nice, the appeal of micro-penises versus lisps, and whether you'd rather change sexes every time you sneeze. Plus, the hosts share their most re-readable scenes, discuss vicarious trauma representation, and explain why mob plotlines can sometimes kill the mood. Fair warning: this episode contains excessive narrator thirst, Twilight comparisons that may hurt your feelings, and the revelation that the sexy baker guy has ruined us all. * (00:00) - Content Warning * (00:50) - Intros * (01:22) - Synopsis * (06:21) - Casual Banter * (22:37) - Lines that Broke Us * (25:53) - Strong Female Character * (33:51) - Re-readable Scenes * (35:26) - Half Cocked Internet Research * (36:05) - Smash or Pass * (41:20) - Moans and Groans * (42:55) - One-Handed Reviews/Moisture Meter * (44:29) - Nightstand * (45:01) - Wrap Up

Ep. 9 That Time We Got Drunk and Learned About the A-Spot, Casomorphins & Tentacle Consent

This week, your Janitor of Joyful Orifices (Jess), Minister of Moisture (Elisa), and Lusty Lieutenant (Lindsay) dive deep into Kimberly Lemming's That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf — and we are FERAL for it. Brie is a busty cheese monger with abandonment issues. Felix is a werewolf with a lactose intolerance and the softest tail this side of the bayou. Throw in shadow tentacles, a sassy talking sword, an incel lobster cult, and the discovery that monster smut is literally the antidote to the patriarchy — and you've got our new favorite book ever written. We're covering: casomorphins (real, look it up), the A-spot (also real, also look it up), Fuck/Marry/Yeet: Cheese Edition, the scientific question of whether dairy can travel through bodily fluids, and why poor Nancy gave this masterpiece 1.5 stars. Come for the smut. Stay for the science. You're welcome, freaky little trumpets.
