The Invisible Fetish: Period Sex, Menophilia, and Bloodhounds26 mai 202500:45:54

In a world where nearly every kink has crawled out of the shadows and onto your For You page—feet, furries, feeding, you name it—there’s still one kink that seems to make even the most sex-positive squirm: menophilia.

Despite period sex being as old as humanity itself, this messy and bloody turn on is still hiding in the wings. Today, we’re exploring Bloodhounds—those who seek out, fetishize, and get off on period blood. We’re unpacking this red light district of sexuality by looking at the cultural disgust, the pornography (or lack there of), and why, of all the things we’ve normalized, this one is still lurking in the dark.

That’s what you’re in for today, on Impolite Society.

Who Were the Resurrectionists?14 oct. 202400:48:44

Creaking coffin lids. A foggy graveyard, empty of all but crooked headstones and a lone figure walking by candlelight. This image is a Halloween staple that induces dread, even today. But the events that inspired these scenes took place over 200 years ago. 

In 2024, body donation is a common practice. But the thought of your dead, naked body being flayed on a table wasn’t as well received in the 1700s. Today we’re talking body snatchers, the corpses that became their trade, and the images that we just can’t shake from our collective consciousness. 

That’s what you're in for today, on Impolite Society.

What Happens to Me After I Die?30 sept. 202400:56:04

You might think it's lonely trapped in a small dark box, six feet underground.

But that couldn't be farther from the truth. After all, you won't be alone in  your final resting place.  You'll have billions of tiny microbes and thousands of knowing insects, hungry for your company. Death might seem like the end, but it is really just the beginning of an eventful and pretty predictable process that turns the walking, talking version of you into a grinning skeleton.

Join us today as we break down the stages of decomposition with all the gaseous odors and waxy residue along the way.  We'll explain how we measure these stages, why they happen and how they can even help us solve crimes. Welcome to our first spooky episode of the 2024 season, where we go on a journey to discover what happens to your body after you die.

That's what you're in for today on Impolite Society.

Assisted Suicide: How to Legally Kill Yourself27 mai 202401:16:25

Exploring the Complexities and Ethics of Medically Assisted Death

In this  episode of Impolite Society, Rachel and Laura delve into the controversial topic of medically assisted death, also known as assisted suicide or euthanasia. Zoraya ter Beek, a 28-year-old in the Netherlands who has chosen medically assisted death due to her mental health struggles, is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the murky ethics of assisted suicide. 

We'll explore the history, legality, and ethical debates surrounding medically assisted death across the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands. Listeners will gain insights into the different methods, legal requirements, and the socioeconomic disparities impacting access to euthanasia- all while trying keeping this dark topic light hearted. With our characteristic bluntness, we'll discuss who gets to die with 'dignity,' the socioeconomic disparities at play, and how language shapes our perceptions of this final frontier. Buckle in for a messy and unapologetic ride through the moral quagmire of choosing your own end.

Is a Bigger 🍆 Better?13 mai 202400:51:37

The world is obsessed with penises. From the penis shaped sports cars to the cod pieces of yore, phalluses have been top of mind since the dawn of time. Even in today’s cultures, the size of a man's dick plays a central role in defining their alpha status.

But is bigger REALLY better? Today we’re looking at dicks- the average and not-so average sizes, how human penises got their shape and size, and if it even matters. That’s what you’re in for today on Impolite Society.

Can I Breastfeed Your Kid?29 avr. 202401:06:25

Breastfeeding is a sacred relationship between a mother and child, where she continues to nourish it with her body. You might say there’s nothing more beautiful, unless your nursing someone else’s kid. Then to some, it’s sexual assault.

Breastfeeding calls out many complicated emotions, even when it’s with mother and child. But how did it get that way. In today’s episode we explore the sweeping cultural and societal changes that took breastfeeding from a normal part of the reproduction cycle to something much more taboo.

We’ll dig into this history to understand how these changes led to where we are today. That’s what you’re in for today, on Impolite Society

Kissing Cousins, is it so Wrong?15 avr. 202400:49:52

Today, we’re talking about cousins. Kissing cousins specifically, and some of the genetic malformations it may or may NOT produce.

If you live in America, the thought of kissing cousins probably makes you cringe. But outside of the Western world and throughout a lot of time, that wasn’t always the case. Throughout many wealthy families and cultures, it was and is considered par for the course. How was this taboo born and when did it really get it’s wings? That’s what you're in for today on Impolite Society.

What is Fan Fiction?19 févr. 202401:05:48

Stories are unique to the human race. They inspire us, delight us, and cast the familiar world around us in a whole new light. Everyone has been wrapped up in a good story at some point in their lives- curled up with a book you can’t put down, binge watching television shows late into the night, or being so obsessed with a story you find yourself dreaming about it. And every one of us, at some point, has thought, “What if….”

Today we are entering the online world of fanfiction: what is it, who writes it, and why the subject matter often leans to the dark, the sexual, and the taboo.

That’s what we’re in for today on Impolite Society.

Around the globe, thousands die each year from these autoerotic fatalities, and those are just the ones where the family let the coroner put that down on paper.

So how does the five finger shuffle turn deadly? Today we're talking about masturbation and all the ways the grim reaper might catch you with your pants down. We'll explore the famous cases from the medical journals and how you can avoid a similar fate.

Poop: The Deadliest Weapon?22 janv. 202400:45:10

In the 1950s, the Canadian government forced many Inuit people into high artic settlement camps. But one man refused to go, no matter how much his children and grand children begged. The family was scared of what would happen if he refused to cooperate. In a desperate plan to force his hand, his family abandoned the man in his igloo. They took everything- all the food, the furs, and tools- in the hope that he would have no choice but to join them in their journey to the camp. All they left him with was his two dogs and the clothes on his back.

But a determined man can win any battle. The man went outside, pulled down his seal skin trousers, and defecated into his hand. And as the feces began to freeze, he shaped it into the form of a blade.

Human feces is a noxious substance, but there is more than one way you can be killed by poop. Today we’re talking shit- what it’s made of, what diseases it carries, and the wildest ways humans have used poop as a deadly weapon. That’s’ what you're in for today, on Impolite Society.

Is the Clitoris a Tiny Penis?08 janv. 202400:47:32

Between the covers of a medical school anatomy textbook, you'd expect to find all of the knowledge we've accumulated on the human body over the millennia. Every bone, muscle, and tendon accounted for. But there's one organ that's missing.  

Throughout history, the clitoris has been ignored, misidentified, and deemed vestigial. Even today, 90 percent of the organ is left out of the textbooks.  Is this pleasure producing part of the female anatomy some leftover hand me down from male genetics or something entirely different?

Like the clitoris, the truth can be hard to find. That's why we're exploring anatomy, embryology, and physiology to learn more about this hot button topic and find out if the clit is simply just a teeny tiny penis. That's what you're in for today on Impolite Society.

The Darkest Christmas Traditions Around the World25 déc. 202300:44:35

Christmas bells, candy canes, and hot cocoa by the fire - that’s the idealized American Christmas scene. Our traditions are designed to give everyone in the family the warm fuzzies and in America, the worst thing that could ever happen at Christmas is a lump of coal in your stocking. 

But this isn’t the case in the Old Country. Europe is the source of many of our grim fairy tales and even Christmas has its own unique cast of monsters. Tales of cannibalism, horse skulls, slaves, and worse all make an appearance in the holiday traditions around the world. Today we’re exploring the yuletide lore that your parents definitely didn’t tell you before bed. 

That’s what you're in for today on Impolite Society.

We’ve all thought about having plastic surgery, at least casually. And if you haven’t, fuck off. Just right now. Fuck off, go away, you must be a perfect human with a perfect body and no insecurities. We don't want your kind here. For the rest of us, a good way to cure yourself of wanting any of this shit done is to hear more about it. Because getting a new nose sounds great- until you watch it being done. 

So let’s jump into the gory details of three of the most common cosmetic producers to try to understand why we are so repulsed and fascinated by plastic surgery. That’s you’re in for today on Impolite Society.
