Why Are You Like This?

On this month’s FUPDATE, we’re digging into the very real possibilities of VR Sex. We’re talking all the technology, solo and partnered usage, and the possibility of hackers.

We’re kicking off September with what could be yet another Dan Brown situation… Antarctica has seen plenty of peaceful multilateral research initiatives, with the Antarctic Teaty System in effect. The thing is, this agreement is set to expire in 2048 which isn’t far into the future.  Seems like some nations would still like to seize Antarctica and are hoping to set themselves up for success. What does that have to do with Nazi hideouts and artifacts? Some conspiracy theorists would argue a lot… 

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what your September WHOROSCOPES have in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

This week on the podcast, we’re looking in your windows as we talk all about voyeurism. How have reality television and porn played a part in our desires to see the sexual and intimate lives of others? We’ve got some thoughts. And for Austin it all started with the Busy World of Richard Scarry…

On this week’s FUPDATE, we are surfing Fetishes across the USA. Which State is Googling the most about Latex and Bondage? We’ve got the intel as we continue with our month-long special series: Augasm.

SZN 9! Wow, we are so excited to be back with you and perhaps starting a new tradition… as we have dubbed this month “Augasm” at Why Are You Like This? We’ve said it from the beginning— this is not a sex podcast, except when it is… and this entire month it is! This week we’re diving into Technosexuality. It’s giving some of us major PQs about Alexa and Siri. Is there real appeal to some of these disembodied voices? Or do we need to go a step further and find our robot…

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what your August WHOROSCOPES have in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

Dear listeners! We are so excited to hit you with SZN 9 (!!!) in just a couple weeks, until then we take a stroll down memory lane as we revisit some of our best Cold Opens over the years…

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what your July WHOROSCOPES have in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

Ah, yes. This week on the podcast, we’re back to recapping documentaries about the puritanical choices some communities make about sex. If you were with us for “Purity Balls” this is one you don’t want to miss. Things escalate in the first ten minutes of the documentary when we learn the central figure in this story was once on a search for what she calls ‘spiritual parents.’ What does she have in common with Real Housewives and Kathy Griffin? Oh, we’ll tell you.

On this week’s FUPDATE, we’re offering you another math problem or algorithmic hack to solve your dating or house hunting problem… even more helpful if you are trying to date a house. Can math actually help us out in these situations? We’ll tell you what some experts says.

Of all the subcultures, this is the one that somehow allowed us to start with a conversation surrounding Jack Sparrow cosplay. We’ve got thoughts on grade school field trips, the adults living for “Ren Fair” culture, and what historians are saying about the time period itself. It’s a long winding road full of turkey drumsticks and blacksmith gimmicks on our way to see the knights joust.

This week on the podcast, we’re digging into all the reasons we won’t listen to the band our friend suggested and yet can’t help telling said friend what movie they should be watching.  It’s that itch that we feel when we think we know what’s good for someone, but can’t possibly believe they know what’s good for us. What’s easy to give but hard to take? Unsolicited advice— we’ll tell you about it. 

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what your June WHOROSCOPES have in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

This week on the podcast, we’re going off the grid. We debunk some of our own thoughts about why people choose to go off grid and the what “off the grid” means to different folks. We’re talking trading child labor for gasoline, pooping in holes, and one very interesting dating show. So, which parts are we ready to sign up for? Oh, we’ll tell you…

Okay. So we’re in that part of the pandemic where it seems like adults throwing temper tantrums on airplanes and yelling about wearing masks literally anywhere is the norm, especially if we’re using our social media timelines to prove it. So, it begs the question, “Why?” Why is everyone a seemingly worse driver and a seemingly ruder person? Well, we’ve got some thoughts.

Ah yes, this week we’re discussing not only one of our favorite Jim Carey movies but also some interesting delusions that have been named for it. They say ‘art imitates life’ and perhaps so do delusions. Without the Truman Show or reality television, would anyone be worried their eyes were cameras to begin with? Tune in to find out— we’d let *some* of you watch our show. 

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what your May WHOROSCOPES have in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

Ancient Aliens, eh? Did we do an episode on this already? We’ll, actually no… or at least not this one. This week on the podcast, we’re digging into the backstory of the cultural phenomenon and when exactly the History Channel went from World War II documentaries to wild theories about extraterrestrial life.

Ask and you shall receive this week… When we took a look at the work of somatic sexologist and sex educator Jaiya, featured in Sex, Love and goop, we were shook by a better scale to describe our own erotic style. But we still felt like there was something to be desired in that space, and leave it to a listener to send along something that helped fit the bill. This is not a sex podcast except when it is, and this week it is thanks to a friend of the show as we dive into the Purple-Red Scale of Attraction.
