  • The Knocker-Upper revisited

    Today we’re turning the clock back to the Industrial Revolution, a time when the world was changing at a breakneck pace, and with it, the way people lived and worked. In this episode, we’re exploring the curious yet almost forgotten profession of... the knocker-upper—a job that was essential in waking up an entire nation, long before the invention of alarm clocks.

  • BBW

    In this episode of The StickyBeak, host Mon sits down with Sunny Jayne, a bold and brilliant adult content creator who identifies as a BBW (Big Beautiful Woman). Together, they unpack the layered realities of working in the adult industry while challenging society’s narrow beauty standards.

    From body confidence and sensuality to navigating empowerment vs. objectification, this candid conversation offers a refreshing and deeply personal perspective on what it really means to be a plus-size woman in adult content.


    Thank you so much to Sunny Jayne for sharing her experiences.

  • Surrogacy

    What’s it really like to carry a baby for someone else? This week on The StickyBeak, we explore the world of surrogacy—through the eyes of Yessenia, a U.S. surrogate and content creator. From medical risks and legal grey zones to celebrity backlash and ethical debates, we ask: if it’s done with care and consent, should anyone else have a say?

    It’s a deep dive into a deeply personal choice.


    Thank you to Yessenia for sharing her experiences.

  • Breatharianism

    Can humans really survive without food? Some followers of Breatharianism claim they can—living on little more than air, sunlight, and life energy. But is there any truth to it? Or is this a dangerous myth?


    In this episode, I sit down with Jerome Shaw, an advocate of the Breatharian lifestyle, to hear his perspective. We explore what Breatharianism is, the philosophy behind it, and the controversies surrounding the movement.


    I also take a deep dive into the science behind fasting and human nourishment, looking at what the evidence actually says. Can belief alone sustain a person? What are the risks? And where do we draw the line between spiritual practice and biological reality?


    Thank you to Jerome Shaw for taking the time to share his experiences.

  • Living In Virtual Reality

    Virtual reality isn’t just for gaming anymore—it’s transforming the way we live, connect, and even love. In this episode of The StickyBeak, I explore how VR is blurring the lines between the digital and physical worlds in ways we never imagined.


    First, I speak with Starh, a VR enthusiast who has spent over 30,000 hours inside virtual reality over the past seven years. For him, VR isn’t just an escape—it’s a way of life. From socialising and even sleeping in VR, he shares how this technology is reshaping human interaction.


    Then, I dive into the intersection of VR and intimacy with Philipp Fussenegger, founder of Cybrothel—the world’s first AI brothel. We discuss how VR is revolutionising the sex industry, redefining companionship, and pushing the boundaries of connection and pleasure in a digital age.


    This is one of my favourite episodes to date—a fascinating look at the future of human experience in an increasingly virtual world.


    Thank you so much to Starh and Philipp for sharing their experiences.

  • Testa di Moro - revisiting a Sicilian legend

    Some stories refuse to fade. They linger in ancient streets, in whispered myths, in the art that surrounds us. This is one of them.


    In this episode, we uncover the dark and fascinating legend of Testa di Moro, the iconic Sicilian ceramic heads that adorn balconies across the island. Rooted in love, betrayal, and revenge, this tale takes us back to 11th-century Palermo—a time when cultures collided, passions ignited, and a forbidden romance led to a chilling fate.


    Why did a love affair between a Sicilian maiden and a Moorish trader end in tragedy? And how did their story become immortalised in Sicilian tradition?


    If you love history, folklore, and stories that leave a mark, this episode is for you.

  • Brothel Manager

    There’s an hour of the day when cheaters creep in. A place where people go to chase their wildest desires. And an eight-second rule that can totally change the course of someone’s life—maybe even end it.


    Today, we’re stepping inside one of Europe’s largest brothels with Catherine De Noire—a woman who’s seen it all. You might already recognize her from social media, where her posts have gone gangbusters, but now she’s pulling back the curtain on what really goes on behind closed doors.


    We dive into:

    🔥 What it’s actually like managing a high-end brothel

    😱 The wildest client requests she’s ever received

    ⏳ The infamous 8-second rule and why it’s so important


    ... and SO much more.


    Catherine is insightful, warm, and completely unfiltered—this is one episode you don’t want to miss!


    Thank you so much to Catherine for taking the time to have a chat. Follow her here:

  • Vagina Dentata

    For centuries, whispers of Vagina Dentata—the myth of the toothed vagina—have haunted folklore, warning of man-eating wombs and flesh-shredding femmes fatales. But beneath the horror lies something deeper: a story about power, fear, and control.


    In this episode of The StickyBeak, we rip into the origins of this myth, from ancient cautionary tales to its lasting grip on pop culture. We’ll explore its role as both a weapon and a warning, and dissect the hidden messages behind the fangs.


    So brace yourself—because this one has some serious bite. 😏


    🔊 Sink your teeth in now!

  • Gay 4 Pay

    What would you do for money? No, really... have you ever found yourself in a job you never expected to be doing? Perhaps it was something outside your comfort zone, something people judged you for, or maybe it just paid really well.


    This week, we’re sitting down with Zane Robinson, better known in the adult film industry as Elliot Finn. 


    Zane made a name for himself as a performer in gay films, despite identifying as straight. The self-proclaimed “only straight bottom,” Zane found a niche that worked for him… even if the world didn’t quite understand.


    This conversation isn’t just about the sex industry, labels or what happens on set. It’s about identity, perception, and the choices we make to build the life we want.
