| Kissing Cousins, is it so Wrong? | 15 Apr 2024 | 00:49:52 | |
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. https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/daily/graphics/cousins_042505.html?noredirect=on https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/go-ahead-kiss-your-cousin https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2605922/ https://www.economist.com/united-states/2024/02/15/cousin-marriage-is-probably-fine-in-most-cases https://www.nature.com/articles/hdy201325 https://www.the-sun.com/news/7232766/dupont-family-inbreeding-legacy-cousins-marriage/ Got your own thoughts?

| Deadly Fashion Trends of the Past | 18 Mar 2024 | 00:50:16 | |
Fashion is a complicated world. Youthful women, beautiful clothes, and the whiff of culture and privilege is a heady mix. It’s no surprise that the trends and fads in fashion have had us chasing our tails for eons.

| What is Fan Fiction? | 19 Feb 2024 | 01:05:48 | |
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.

| Can You Masturbate Yourself to Death? | 05 Feb 2024 | 00:52:47 | |
La petite mort. This phrase, meaning the little death, is an old school French euphemism for Orgasms. But, what happens when our pursuit of these little deaths results in the big one? 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. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3177356/ https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2006/mar/23/drugsandalcohol.uknews2 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35315374/ Got your own thoughts?

| Poop: The Deadliest Weapon? | 22 Jan 2024 | 00:45:10 | |
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.

| The Darkest Christmas Traditions Around the World | 25 Dec 2023 | 00:44:35 | |
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.

| Did You Have Work Done? | 11 Dec 2023 | 01:03:20 | |
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.

| What is Satanism? | 02 Oct 2023 | 01:24:46 | |
It was a sticky summer afternoon when it appeared. A nearly seven foot bronzed Baphomet at the foot of the Arkansas State Capitol. And, just as quickly, it was gone. For a handful of hours the goat headed, winged figure sat vigil outside the white stone building. For many, it represented the forces of evil itself. Darkness, chaos, and the void.

Whether you’ve caught an odd whiff during a meeting, forgotten to brush your teeth before running out the door or stopped to run an errand after hitting the gym, we know what it feels like to be self-conscious of our odor. But humans smell! Each and everyone one of us comes with our own unique set of smells, scents and, let’s be honest, stank. https://www.romper.com/p/how-do-babies-know-their-mothers-scent-experts-explain-18369228 https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn2705-close-family-smells-worse-than-a-stranger/ https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/07/30/1022546464/why-sweat-is-a-human-superpower https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/18081/body-odor-through-ages-brief-history-deodorant Got your own thoughts?

| Is Everyone as Lonely as Me? | 21 Feb 2022 | 01:03:43 | |
Feeling lonely is part of our evolutionary makeup. The emptiness in our chests is what drove our ancient ancestors to seek out others, form tribes, find mates, and face the terrors of nature together. But in our modern society, feeling alone is a shameful secret. In this episode we’re breaking down the concept of loneliness: why we feel it, why we’re ashamed of it, and how chronic feelings of loneliness can actually change your brain chemistry for the worse. All this to answer the rude question: Is everyone as lonely as I am? That’s what you’re in for today, on Impolite Society. https://psychcentral.com/lib/the-dark-side-of-loneliness#3 https://thriveglobal.com/stories/difficult-hard-to-admit-lonely-loneliness-epidemic-stigma/ https://psychcentral.com/lib/the-dark-side-of-loneliness#1 https://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/guide/mental-health-social-anxiety-disorder Got your own thoughts?

| Does Batman Go Down? And Should You? | 07 Feb 2022 | 01:01:48 | |
Cunnilingus is as old as the human species, but this sex act is still taboo in our modern society. So taboo that Batman was forbidden to do it in a recent HBO Max series. Why is it that an act for female pleasure is seen as delinquent, but fellatio is being boasted about in locker rooms across America?

| How Much Do You Weigh? | 10 Jan 2022 | 01:03:25 | |
We all live in fear of the dreaded "F" word... Fat. Our weight might be summed up in the number on a scale, but that's far from where its effect ends. If that number falls into the "fat" zone, it can have real-world effects. Not just on our physical health, but our ability to attract a mate, how much other people like us and how the world sees our value as a person. Got your own thoughts? Text them to Impolite Society!

| Can Men and Women be Just Friends? | 06 Dec 2021 | 00:59:58 | |
A little over a hundred years ago, men and women didn't really interact. And when they did, it was all about getting down the aisle. But as the times have changed and our society evolves, we've created more and more opportunities for the genders to mix. And when they do, you have an opportunity for complications to arise. And that sticky part of friendships between men and women is what we're talking about today. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/men-and-women-cant-be-just-friends/ SPR443611 569..596 (bleske-rechek.com) Can men and women be just friends? - BLESKE - 2000 - Personal Relationships - Wiley Online Library Sex Differences in Intimacy Levels in Best Friendships and Romantic Partnerships | SpringerLink Got your own thoughts?

What do you do, when two just won't do? A rude question from Rocky of Wild Nights with Rocky Powell sends our gals into the world of polyamory. But this isn't your grandma's swingers club.

| Does Being Rich Make You a Jerk? | 11 Oct 2021 | 00:53:52 | |
Scrooge. Montgomery Burns. Lex Luther. These and many other great antagonists have something in common… they’re filthy stinking rich. Throughout literature, pop culture and Hollywood, wealth is often linked to villainy, but are the rich really as cold and heartless as they're portrayed? Join us as we dig into the series of studies that examine the behavior of the elite and explore why they act so different than we do. All to get to the bottom of whether we’re just jealous or if being rich really does make you into a big mean jerk. Are rich people mean? That’s the question we explore today on Impolite Society.

| How Does My Butt Tell the Difference Between a Fart and Poo? | 27 Sep 2021 | 00:53:13 | |
Each day, your body makes the high-stakes decision that holds together the very fabric of our society… “is that just a fart, or am I about to shit myself?” And with the average person releasing nearly a half gallon of gas a day, your body is making this decision all the time.

Nudity is a taboo that’s so ingrained that being in the buff has become the cliché stress dream. Got your own thoughts? Text them to Impolite Society!
