Go See Alice

Fantasy Pushing (in the Bushing)

The episode also cites (pushes?) "Luke's Fantasy", from The Erotic Mind by Jack Morin, Ph.D., as first discussed in Episode 10. It is reproduced with permission here:  I’m at home in my apartment watching TV in my gym shorts when the doorbell rings. I can’t believe my eyes when a gorgeous fox is standing there. She’s my new neighbor and just stopped by to say hello. I eagerly invite her in. She’s drop-dead gorgeous in a silky nightgown that reveals every curve. Her waist is narrow, her hips wide and shapely. I watch her ass sway as she walks to my sofa. Long, auburn hair swoops down, partially covering the milky skin of her cleavage. I can’t help staring at nipples which show clearly through her gown. I’m fumbling for words when she slides closer to me and plays with my chest and stomach with her long fingernails. I pull her closer still as she grabs my dick. I feel a shiver go through her body. I invite her to the bedroom and lift the gown over her head, revealing an even more incredible body than I expected. She rips off my shorts and we fall into bed, fucking with uncontrollable abandon. She loves it when I plunge into her juicy pussy. Before I know it she’s coming wildly, screaming. Her reaction turns me on so much that I thrust faster and faster, coming, coming until I collapse on top of her, spent. After I calm down, I watch her slip into her gown, shake out her hair, and walk toward the door. “See ya later, neighbor, I AM OFF TO HAVE MORE SEX WITH ANY OTHER MAN WHO IS HOME,” she whispers as the door closes behind her.

A visit to the internet sex store

We took to this special little corner of the internet seeking…what, exactly? Arousal? Stimulation? To be admired? What we found instead was, rather limited. Thanks are due to all our interlocutors on the site. Many of you were cool and friendly. I hope you don’t miss us too much. Thanks for reading Steve and Whyla's Non-monogamous Disaster Love Story!

Give her the D (chord)

On the purported kinship between gay men, and straight women—the supposedly unifying experience of clucking and head-shaking at the antics of our men. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em, amirite? But what if there is no genuine solidarity there, because the pertinent fact is not whether you get with men, but whether you get to be a man? Whether, in fact, when you fall under the male gaze, he deems you fully human, or… not. Things referenced in the episode: Our continued parasocial relationship with Dan Savage [https://savage.love/], who makes a lot of claims that women act as they do around men because “They fear male violence” and why this misses this mark, and why it’s actually worse than that, and why even a gay man can’t understand that, because the gay bit is always subordinate to the man bit.

Book Club: More is Less

It’s been a rough year, and Steve noted that we managed to put out only one episode in all of 2024 (though I, peronally, put out substantially more often than that, as Steve will tell you). We are striving to make episodes more regularly in 2025, but for now, please enjoy our book club mashup of Erica Jong’s Fear of Flying, and Molly Roden Winter’s More: A Memoir of Open Marriage.
