Are monsters better than monstrous men?

It’s almost Halloween, which means it’s time to talk about monster dick. Put more eloquently: We’re looking at the phenomenon of straight women desiring literal monsters instead of human men who are, often enough, pretty monstrous. We’ll be covering everything from tentacled dildos to Big Foot erotica. We also have to talk about Wicker, the buzzy upcoming film starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård (a.k.a. the “sexy basket man movie”), because this isn’t just a monster phenomenon, and it isn’t exactly new. Women have long found excitement and comfort in the fantasy of men who are… not really men. In this episode, we discuss: * The particulars of classic monster dick (just how fully reanimated is a zombie?) * Orcs and lizardmen and minotaurs, oh my * Sasquatch erotica (and why Big Foot is a “surprisingly gentle” lover) * The connection between fear and arousal * Are monsters better than monstrous men? * The “sexy basket man movie” and the pleasures of non-human but deeply humane “men” * Plus: Tracy makes Amanda look at some monster dildos Get more from us at direstraightspod.com.
