Crude

WARNING! You may not want to be eating while listening to parts of this podcast.On this podcast, the Crude team is talking about scat in all its stinky, dirty, and erotic glory. Is this the dirtiest kink or the most intimate? And why is it so funny? Along with the history of poop and some partner fart stories, Elle, Misty, Frank in Berlin, and Effie in London laugh as they wade through the kink of crap and other fluids."Consider the image which presents the Pope's birth, emerging not from the vaginal canal of a human woman, but rather from the quivering, prolapsed rectum of a hideous she-devil, the papacy reduced to a fecal still-birth passed through the ulcerated sphincter of a sulfurous demon."*What we were reading*Ed Simon.

In this episode, Elle, Misty and Frank in Berlin are joined by Effie in London to explore the topic of consent in s3x-positive contexts and beyond. Does yes always mean yes in the same way no always means no? What kind of situations blur the lines between consent and kinky stuff?Through the muse of their personal experiences, the four discuss how consent has evolved in these scenes over the years. They also chat about the different ways in which consent can be given. Importantly, they all agree that much more education is needed to make these spaces safe and fun for everyone.Join the conversation on Insta @crude_podcast! *What we were reading*Jan Schweitzer.

On our first podcast, the Crude team discusses the topic of "Big dicks and feminism." Can you be a feminist – male or female – and still be ok about liking or not liking big dicks? Does wanting to have sex with men with big aubergines mean you are upholding the patriarchy? Is it a problem if the only sex you like involves you reducing your male partner to the size of his member?This whole subject is something of a taboo for most straight men. And many women feel uncomfortable talking about it in their relationships or with friends.Elle, Misty and Frank talk you through some of these icebergs and try to resolve some of the issues surrounding big dicks and their effect on feminists and their understanding of feminism.We apoligise for the audio quality of this episode.
