An A to Z, with Men

03/12/2023

Aaaand that's us for now.

We've had the best time recording two seasons of An A to Z of S*x with Men (and there are now 52 episode available for you to listen to whenever you like)!

You won't see much output from us for awhile, but rest assured we are busy working on some exciting projects, including a mythology based podcast and an A to Z with Men companion book that will be just perfect for your bathroom!

Lots of love form us! (Jacinta and Raphael)

Mwah!

Our final episode of season 2 is up!!
This one is all about Zones (the erogenous kind).
This week our format is a little different. Instead of our usual 'extensive research', we take you through nearly every erogenous zone we and the internet can think of and tell you our own personal feelings about them.
We then discuss our zones-related film, which this time is 'The Piano!' It was intense we loved, but we loved it (and keep away from the darker aspects of it in our discussion).
THANK YOU for coming on our journey with us this far, and stay tuned for future projects!
And listen to our final episode on any podcast platform.

And here's your teaser for episode Z!
What are these messy white lines pointing to do you think?...

[Image description: two figures, one stereotypically textbook female looking, the other textbook male. They each have white lines pointing to various parts of their bodies, with question marks at the ends of the lines. The figures are illustrated and in block colours, so you can't see exactly where the lines are pointing, but it's roughly: ears, mouth, chest, stomach, ge****ls, and thighs on both of them.]

Here comes episode Y!
In our penultimate episode we turn our minds back to our younger and less experienced days and discuss the tumultuous world of s*x and relationships from the perspective of 'the youth'.
It's not all anecdotal of course. We do our usual 'extensive research' and find out what the youth of today think about it all, as well delving a little into relationships with large age gaps.
This week's youth-related film is 'Everybody's Talking About Jamie'. We probably won't be talking about it much in the future, but there were some things we liked about it!

It is finally time to release our A to Z LIVE SHOW!!

In this first ever collaboration with the absolutely incredible Glitter & Titter Cabaret, we welcome special guests April Fiasco and Gigi Vin Rouge!

Gigi is a stand-up comedian and burlesque artist combining s*x and statistics like they've never been combined before. S*xtistics if you will.

April Fiasco is the showgirl alter-ego of comedian Carmen Ali. A regular on the London Cabaret scene, she is resident host at S*xquisite Events & Co-organiser at Socialist Strip Club Cybertease. She has been featured by TimeOut, The Guardian, and the BBC, and has a whole host of awards and accolades to her name, including finalist at Burlesque Idol 2019, and LGBTQ New Comedian of the Year 2019. From threesomes to sx work, to the tragic absence of foreplay, she has a lot of stories to tell...

Of course, no Glitter n Titter show would be complete without compere extraordinaire, Gemma Layton, and the one who makes it all happen, the indomitable Ms Larissa Thorne!

There are songs, games, burlesque acts (audio only), and a lot of 'dirty talk' stories from us and our guests.

We had so much fun doing this episode, and we hope you have (almost) as much fun listening!

Extra special thanks go to: Tom the Tech, who has a couple of voice cameos and is the reason you can hear us at all; Stormina Teacup, who you won't hear, but who was making sure the show ran smoothly with her incredible stage management skills; our fabulous photographer ; and our magnificent audience who made the show the success that it was!

We would also like to thank and pay tribute to two friends of the podcast who passed away this year:

Trixi Tassels was a friend and mentor to us both and was in the audience for our live show. We wouldn't be the performers, or people, we are without her, and her support meant so much to us.

Flavio Buonerba was not in the audience, but we would never have had the courage to put on a live show without his encouragement. He generously shared his time and expertise recording and editing some episodes of our show, even guesting on episode X of series 1. The show would not be the calibre it is without him and we will always remember and love him for that.

This week is all about friendships and relationships that come with added 'benefits'. We discuss the pros and cons of a typical 'with benefits' type setup, and explore what the 'benefits' actually are - is it just s*x, or is there more to it? Can you, in fact, have a non-s*xual friendship with benefits? We also look back fondly on our own 'with benefits' friends of the past.

This week's 'with benefits' related film is 'Y tu mamá también' directed by Alfonso Cuarón. We thought it was an excellent representation of these types of relationship, which navigates a beautiful line between humour and pathos.

Episode W will be up later today, but first, here's a clue!
Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis tried it in 2011. What could it be?...

[Image description: Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, seen naked from the chest up, are lying on a bed, mouths open apparently spent from great s*x. In large pink letters between them it says, 'W is for...?']

Next episode is up! And we're not alone, as joining us this week is the lovely professional hula-hooper and graphic designer, Beth!

Episode P was devoted to P***s, so it's only right that episode V should be all about the V***a!
As we vivaciously vocalise about various things vulvic, we learn about similarities (and differences) in the arousal of different ge****ls, and discover that the vulva-owners among us know shockingly little about vulvic anatomy.

Our vulva-related film this week was Park Chan-Wook's 2016 film, 'The Handmaiden'. The overall consensus was that we loved it, and were *generally* happy with the vulvic representation.

Episode U is up!
This week is all about celebrating the things that don't get enough attention - i.e. the s*xually, sensually, and romantically Underrated!
Based on the anecdotes and experiences of we social circle, we look at the s*x and relationship related experiences that are overlooked, but delightful none-the-less, be it a touch of the waist, a caress of a leg, or a comfortable silence.
This week's Underrated-related film is Gilda, because *that* glove peel...

There are no trigger warnings this week!

Last season, episode T was devoted to Turn-offs, so we thought it only right that this season T should be all about Turn-ons!

We look at top turn-ons in America and Western Europe, as well as unlikely places to be turned and unusual things to be turned on by. We obviously talk all about out own turn-ons, and how we discovered them, and discuss the s*xiest scents.

Our film of the week is Happiness, an exploration of problematic and stigmatised turn-ons. This bit is full of trigger warnings, so listen to the film discussion with caution.

Episode S is up and it's all about that previously indefinable type of relationship, The Situationship.

With a lot of help from the glossy mags (and a lot of wading through the heteronormative monogamous agenda), we work out what a 'situationship' actually is, and discuss whether we've ever had one (or several). We look at the pros and cons of a situationship and conclude that (surprise, surprise) it all comes down to communication, really.

The situationship related film up for discussion is Bernardo Bertolucci's The Dreamers starring Eva Green. We have a lot of effusively good things to say about it!

It's time to talk about that word we hate so much, R**e.

Sadly, r**e is something that a LOT of us are survivors of, and we are no exception. It's so important to talk about it and that's exactly what we're doing - sharing personal experiences; discussing the inadequate language around r**e and s*xual assault, and exploring how to support people who have survived r**e.

This is a difficult episode with a lot of triggering content so please listen with caution.

It's been awhile since we posted an episode because (dunno if we've mentioned it) we were busy producing a LIVE show!
But it is now time to get back on schedule, and episode R will be dropping later today.
It's an intense, but very important topic, any ideas what it might be?

Our A to Z with LIVE Cabaret show is TOMORROW and we haven't even got to know our fabulous host, !!
In answer to the question, 'What's your favourite chat up line?' Gemma said:

'I’m so indoctrinated in Tinder, when I meet someone IRL I just swipe my hand from left to right over their puzzled face. Then, when they start a conversation, I blank them.

That’s how it’s done right?'

Yep Gemma, pretty sure that's how everyone does it!

There'll be plenty more of Gemma's hilarious stories, songs and possibly even poems at the show. Get yourself some tickets here!

Five days to go until the '### A to Z of S*x with Glitter & Titter Cabaret' and it's time to get to know another performer!
Gigi Vin Rouge's response to the question, 'what's your favourite chatup line?' was:

'I don’t think I’ve ever used a chat up line… normally just make sure they have a good view of my t**s and judge their interest from the response!
In researching this question though, I might give this one a go:
I would flirt with you, but I’d rather seduce you with my awkwardness.'

Both excellent, but we're particular fans of the tit approach! To hear more from Gigi Vin Rouge and her s*xtistical adventures, join us on Saturday 18th March from 7.30pm at The Albany, Great Portland Street!

With just six days to go until our '### A to Z of S*x with Glitter & Titter Cabaret' live show, we're continuing to get to know our performers!
When we asked April Fiasco what her favourite chat up line was, she told us:

'I don't have a favourite chat up line (though I definitely have some least favourite ones)!
The best lines come in the moment, it's better to just enjoy a natural connection with someone, rather than using pre-prepared lines.'

We think that's excellent advice, and there'll be plenty more like it at the show this Saturday 18th March from 7.30pm at The Albany, Great Portland Street!

Our '### A to Z of S*x with G&T' live show is just six days away, so we thought we'd get to know cast and crew a little better.
We asked everyone, 'what's your favourite chat up line?'
Glitter & Titter Cabaret producer extraordinaire, Ms Larissa Thorne doesn't have a favourite, but they do have a least favourite:

'My worst, from an ex who wanted to rekindle our romance, was, "I've got no teeth now."'

If you'd like to know how that turned out then come join us this Saturday 18th March from 7.30pm at !
