Plan B, the Female Gaze, and Puberty with Brandon Kyle Goodman
HAPPY FRIDAY, BLUE BALLERS! This week, we have a very bittersweet announcement — Balls Deep has reached its end. It’s been a hell of a 49 episodes with y’all and we enjoyed every minute of schmooze, news, interview(s), Qs, and BOOZE! Don’t fret, we’re not going anywhere!! Our DMs are open :)  Phew, now that we ripped off the bandaid… let’s get to the schmooze! Rachel’s analysis of Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian’s budding relationship shows that all roads lead back to Kris Jenner, and Arielle shares the tale of Judith, the Hanukkah heroine who seduced the enemy with her feminine wiles. Spooky season is debatably over but we’ve got another wild ghost story on the agenda from Arielle and a lesson on the female and male gaze from Rachel. In news, listen to a deep dive on Plan B’s effectiveness (or lack of effectiveness) on larger bodies.  Our honorary final guest is none other than Brandon Kyle Goodman (!!) An actor, activist, writer, and self-proclaimed “Messy Mom,” Brandon takes us into the Big Mouth writer’s room and how he’s finally making the representation he needed as a child. Host of the Black Folx podcast, Brandon is an outspoken queer, Black person whose signature blowjob is SO mind-blowing that it made it to Urban Dictionary.  Okay, so… no real questions this week, but a Blue Baller calls in just to share some compliments Get 15% off sex toys with code BALLSDEEP15 Bellesa Plus —> Pay what you want for the Netflix of Porn Powered by Bellesa
Balls Deep in Ghost Sex and Slutty Halloween Costumes

Balls Deep in Ghost Sex and Slutty Halloween Costumes
It’s a Balls Deep Spooktacular! No tricks this week, only TREATS for our Blue Ballers! This week, Rachel and Arielle dive into the sexy history of Halloween to explore how a former Gaelic festival evolved into the one time of year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it. The girls wonder if Halloween costumes are sexist, explain why men should show more skin, and give the listeners tips on how to put together a last-minute look. Did you know that horror is the only genre where women have more screen time and lines than men? Well, now you do. A spooktacular simply isn’t complete without an analysis of horror’s two favorite movie tropes: The Final Girl and Death by Sex.  For the main event we get Balls Deep into spectrophilia (AKA ghost sex). From Patrick Swayze’s Ghost to American Horror Story, pop culture is filled with ghost sex scenes—and according to a handful of celebrities, it’s a real thing. Arielle rattles off all the celebs who’ve gotten down and dirty with spirits, and Rachel tells the dramatic tale of Amethyst Realm, the woman who’s had sex with more than 20 ghosts.  Next week we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming. If you’ve got a sex/relationship question call the hotline: 855-OKAYSO.
