Coral Hart, 200 AI Romance Books, and Why We're Still Safe from Robot Smut

In this episode of Good Girls, we talk about the New York Times article "The New Fabio is Claude" and how AI is shaking up the romance industry. We discuss Coral Hart, the author churning out 200 AI-assisted romance novels a year under multiple pen names, and share our honest reactions after reading her work. We break down what feels missing in AI-generated stories...that human connection, emotional depth, and organic tension...and talk about the ethics of it all, from AI scraping existing books that go uncredited to authors not disclosing their use of AI. We also cover the survey showing a third of authors are quietly using AI, the challenges of writing sex scenes with guardrails, and why tropes like forced proximity just don’t hit the same with AI --- based off the mess of Coral Hart's books. This is our take on whether AI can truly write romance, and why we’re still betting on human romance writers for the good stuff. Stay tuned for our follow-up where we test it ourselves!

The O.C. Rewatch: Y2K Fashion Wins, Sandy Forever, & Finance Plot Holes

We rewatch of the early 2000s teen drama The O.C. and break down the things that aged surprisingly well...iconic Y2K fashion, Seth/Ryan bromance, Sandy & Kirsten’s awesome marriage, and killer soundtrack. But we don’t hold back on what didn’t age well...ridiculous financial plot holes that somehow predicted the subprime mortgage crisis, questionable women’s workwear, wild age inconsistencies, and the heartbreaking real-life struggles faced by Misha Barton. Packed with laughter, fashion nostalgia, and adult realizations about a show we once binged on DVD, this is a comfort rewatch discussion for fellow 2000s kids.

Good Girls Give Bad Sex Advice

We’re back with another round of bad sex advice, where we dive into relatable (mostly...few curveballs thrown in) Reddit sex questions and give our zero-credentials take. From the virgin who’s scared her fast-and-hard clit rubbing style will exhaust guys’ wrists, to the woman wondering if she’s even had an orgasm because she doesn’t “explode into a million pieces,” we break it all down with help from Emily Nagoski, Nicole Prause’s research, and way too much romance novel knowledge. We tackle size insecurities and selfish partners, debate hotpast kinks, discuss husbands who love giving oral when their wives don’t enjoy receiving it, and give some tough love to the guy fantasizing about other women while sleeping with his girlfriend. Along the way we talk realistic expectations vs. romance novel orgasms, doggy style tips, and why most of us are just figuring this stuff out as we go. As always, we’re laughing, oversharing, and reminding you that you’re not broken but social media probably is.

The Science of Coming Undone: How to Shatter into a Million Pieces like a Real Romance Heroine

In this spicy Good Girls episode, we dive into the science and fantasy of female orgasms. We break down the hilarious and illuminating study “She Exploded Into a Million Pieces,” which analyzed 20 years of RWA award-winning romance novels, complete with violent imagery, “little deaths,” male sexual superpowers, and dramatic shattering climaxes. We also talk squirting vs. female ejaculation, the biology of orgasm phases (including extended and multiple orgasms), G-spots, Skene’s glands, and why the wetter-she-is-the-better-he-is myth is more complicated than romance books suggest. Along the way we discuss edging, Kegels, tantric breathing, and why some romance heroines ascend to heaven mid-climax. Plus: a full breakdown of the unhinged Threads meltdown by memoir author Emily Weinstein, who called romance (and romantasy)...problematic things...though kinda funny with the unicorn jizz?? and triggered the entire internet. We defend the genre, debate closed-door vs. open-door smut, and celebrate why women love it all...from sweet small-town romance to dragon smut and everything in between.

Tradwife Glow-Up or Trojan Horse? Our Evie Magazine Critique

On this episode of Good Girls, we jump into Evie Magazine, the glossy, sexy “Cosmo for conservatives." Evie serves tradwife realness with low-cut milkmaid dresses, husband-pleasing lap dance tutorials, and a whole lot of “feel sexy by embracing your femininity” advice. We break down their wild takes on birth control (hello, pullout method), why rich women supposedly fake more orgasms (evidence is shakey at best), and how the whole thing feels like a Trojan horse for traditional gender roles. Is it empowering married sex positivity or just glossy pick-me propaganda? We debate it all. Plus, we review Yesteryear by Carol Clare Burke, the tradwife time-travel thriller inspired by Ballerina Farm vibes. As usual, it's funny, spicy, and a little unhinged :)
