QUICKIE: SCARED STIFF...Do haunted houses make you horny? Sexy Spooky Fun with WYP!
Ever wonder why haunted houses make your heart race and your jeans feel a little tighter? In this episode, we dive headfirst into the science of fear and arousal — where the line between being scared and being turned on gets deliciously blurry.
We’ll explore how your amygdala, that tiny almond-shaped part of your brain, lights up when you’re terrified and when you’re turned on. That’s right — your fear response and your sexual excitement run on the same neurochemical fuel: adrenaline, dopamine, and cortisol.
We’ll talk about why horror movies on first dates work so well (hint: your body doesn’t always know if you’re turned on from fear or from the hottie next to you). Plus, we’ll get into “benign masochism” — the psychological thrill of choosing to be scared, sweaty, and screaming, knowing deep down that you’re safe.
So whether you’re making out in a haunted hayride, screaming through The Conjuring, or just wondering why you love being scared half to death, this episode is your sexy crash course in the chemistry of fear, pleasure, and why your brain loves to flirt with danger.

QUICKIE: You're So Vain, You Probably Think This Size is About You...
ChatGPT said:
In this episode of What’s Your Position?, we unzip the messy, seductive world of vanity sizing and how it quietly shapes our bodies, brains, and sex lives. From the hourglass worship of the 1940s and 50s to the waif-thin “heroin chic” of the 90s and the Instagram body of today, we walk through the history of women’s clothing sizes in American and European fashion and why a “size 8” means something totally different in every store. We break down how brands use shrinking numbers as a marketing trick, why women’s sizes were never truly standardized, and how all of this mess fuels body dissatisfaction and unrealistic beauty ideals.
You’ll hear about the psychology behind that little dopamine hit when you fit into a smaller size, the mental health fallout when the tag goes up, and how feeling “wrong” in your clothes can follow you straight into the bedroom. Most importantly, we reclaim the idea that sexy has never been a number on a tag—it’s confidence, comfort, and the ability to feel good naked in the body you have right now.

QUIKIE: The History of Sex Toys
On this quickie
In this episode of What’s Your Position?, we take a playful, evidence-based tour through the history of sex toys — from sacred ancient objects and carved stone dildos to “respectable” medical massagers, all the way to the Bluetooth-enabled, app-controlled toys in your nightstand today. We unpack the persistent (but largely debunked) myth that Victorian doctors used vibrators to treat “hysteria,” dig into censorship like the Comstock Act and modern laws that still try to police pleasure, and highlight how feminist, queer, and disability communities have reshaped sex toys into tools of autonomy and joy rather than shame.
Along the way, we talk about how big this world really is: the global sex toy market is estimated in the tens of billions of dollars, and research suggests that well over half of women — and around half of men — have used a sex toy at least once. From ancient temples to Texas courtrooms to your group chat, this episode shows how the story of sex toys is really the story of who gets to feel good, and who’s been trying to stop them.

Join me and my new friends as we ask...”What‘s your position?”
