I had the pleasure speaking with Dr. Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, a professor and author of the Gothic and monstrosity, to pick his brain about all things erotic monsters. Like, why are werewolves so commonly presented as hypermasculine and hypersexual? What's the connection between eroticism and monstrosity? And why is there so much c*m when talking about erotic monsters?

Hellooo, long time no see! I am back, better than ever, talking about monster sex toys with two wonderful businesses: Creature Feature Toys and Darque Path. We talk about the monsters the toys are based off of, consumer demographics, and whether or not public trends affect the toys made (I'm looking at you Venom). Episode links included below:

Also, apologies for the audio quality in this episode; I am trying my best with what little editing knowledge I have so bear with me lmao

We're all familiar with the witchcraft trials in Europe during the Middle Ages. But did you know that much of the witch hysteria was based on demon copulation accusations? Join me as I talk about demon copulation accusations during the witchcraft trials, how they were systemically described (including devils' members!), and how the church's crisis of belief led them on a centuries-long crusade.

P.S. I am awful at pronouncing a lot of these names so I'm sorry in advance.

Welcome to the Monstrous Desire Podcast where I talk about all things erotic monsters. From tentacle porn, to Dracula's erotic evolution throughout film, to demon copulation during the European witchcraft trials, no stone is left unturned.
